The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
Women think men belong in resorts
We watch the children
They watch the sports
A man wouldn't help us
Even if he could
While we clean up the mess
He's made of the neighborhood
I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
Women refuse to witness the kill
Of man's safaris and his battles of will
She washes the wound he sustains in his fight
She cradles him in her arms all night
Woman is there
At the end of the day
She works as hard
As a man can play
She carries the blame
She doesn't deserve
She bears his name
When he loses his nerve
I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman

… Back porch preacher preaching at me
Acting like he wrote the golden rules
Shaking his fist and speeching at me
Shouting from his soap box like a fool
Come Sunday morning he's lying in bed
With his eye all red, with the wine in his head
Wishing he was dead when he oughta be
Heading for Sunday school
CLEAN up your own backyard
Oh don't you hand me none of your lines
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Drugstore cowboy criticizing
Acting like he's better than you and me
Standing on the sidewalk supervising
Telling everybody how they ought to be
Come closing time 'most every night
He locks up tight and out go the lights
And he ducks out of sight and he cheats on his wife
With his employee
Clean up your own backyard
Oh don't you hand me none of your lines
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Armchair quarterback's always moanin'
Second guessing people all day long
Pushing, fooling and hanging on in
Always messing where they don't belong
When you get right down to the nitty-gritty
Isn't it a pity that in this big city
Not a one a'little bitty man'll admit
He could have been a little bit wrong
Clean up your own backyard
Oh don't you hand me, don't you hand me none of your lines
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine

Think of you with pipe and slippers,
think of her in bed.
Laying there just watching telly,
then think of me instead.
I'll never grow so old and flabby,
that could never be.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And your love light shines like cardboard,
but your work shoes are glistening.
She's a Ph. D in 'I told you so',
you've a knighthood in 'I'm not listening'.
She'll grab your sweaty bollockes,
then slowly raise her knee.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay,
and you realise you can't make it anyway.
You have to wash the car,
take the kiddies to the park.
Don't marry her, fuck me
Those lovely Sunday mornings,
with breakfast brougt in bed.
those blackbirds look like knitting needles,
trying to peck your head.
those birds will peck your soul out,
and throw away the key.
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the kitchen's always tidy,
and the bathroom is always CLEAN
She's a diploma in 'just hiding things',
you've a first in 'low esteem'.
When your socks smlll of angels,
but your life smells of Brie.
Don't marry her, fuck me.
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay,
and you realise you can't make it anyway.
You have to wash the car,
take the kiddies to the park.
Don't marry her, have me.

Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say, "Hello"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a Mac in the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back in
Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine CLEAN
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then, the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you CLEAN, you'll know
You'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Oh, what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
You will know
Oh, you'll know

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me.
I opened doors for little old ladies,
I helped the blind to see.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me and I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feeling mean.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister CLEAN,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.

My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose, he said.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister CLEAN,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
He said you're sick, you're obscene.

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
BABE
I got you babe I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe
I got you babe I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight

I got you to love me so

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

We were so happy, woman, talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone

Leavin' me all by myself, all alone, to cry every night
(BABE, BABE, BABE, BABE, oh)

No one on earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There MUST be an Angel
Playing with my heart
I walk into an empty room

You MUST leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they're all rowing home
Your empty-handed army is all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind there, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Words & music by Bob Dylan
Never thought about tomorrow
Seemed like a long time to come
How could I be so blind baby
Not to see you were the one
I let ya slip on from me honey
I let you walk on by
I refused the love you had for me
I refused your love and let it die
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
Somewhere down the line
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
Give away the days you were mine
Love can be a sweet thing
I just don't understand
I made a game of lovin' you
And now I hold the losin' hand
So I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
Somewhere down the line
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
Give away the days that you were mine
I just can't understand it
I just can't understand it
I just don't understand it
And I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
I MUST'a got lost
Somewhere down the line

She's a MUST to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me
You think she's a prize at the start
But take my advice, play it smart
She's nothin' but trouble
Better cut out on the double
Before she gets into your heart
She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me
When you stare into her pretty blue eyes
There's no way to see through her disguise
But don't try to love her 'cause you'll quickly discover
You're trapped in the web of her lies
She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me
Her lips look inviting it's true
Lots of other guys have felt like you do
She'll build up your hopes and when you need her the most
That's when she'll say goodbye to you
She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

The next whiskey bar
I tell you we MUST die

We now, MUST say goodbye
We've lost, our good old Mama

I MUST have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came
You MUST remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
And you became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a ROSE on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your ROSE is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a ROSE on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your ROSE is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
I've been kissed by a ROSE on the grey
I, I've been kissed by a ROSE on the grey
I've (And if I should fall, will it all go away?) been kissed by a ROSE on the grey
I, I've been kissed by a ROSE on the grey
There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the ROSE said only yesterday
"This morning I was born
And baptised in the dawn
I flowered in the dew
And life was fresh and new
The sun shone through the cold
And through the day I grew
By night-time I was old"
"At least there's never been
No, you have never seen
A rose more bright and gay"
A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
"The good lord smiled on me
So why then should it be
I feel I'm falling now
Oh yes, I'm falling now
My heart no-one can save
My head begins to bow
My feet are in the grave"
The rose God smiled upon
Tomorrow will be gone
Forever gone away
A lifetime comes and goes
And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day
The moon is shining bright
And in my dreams tonight
Beneath the starlit sky
My friend the rose goes by
He has seen my dreams I see
A soul that wouldn't die
Still watching over me
Whatever fortune brings
I'll hope for better things
Or life will just be grey
"A lifetime comes and goes"
That's what my friend the rose
Said only yesterday

Oh, Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
And Lord, don't you know
Have me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' ROSE you're a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that's alright
'Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rose you're a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now, play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that's alright
'Cause we got all night, to set the world right

We used to call it Camelot
With all them ladies of Shalott
The people liked to Lancelot
At the Bed of Roses
And what went on behind the scenes
Was way beyond your wildest dreams
Life was burstin' at the seams
In the Bed of Roses
And the band played all night long
The band played all night long
Song after song after song after song
In the Bed of Roses
The boy stood on the burning deck
The strap was buried 'round my nеck
My fingers bleeding on the frets
At thе Bed of Roses
We slept on blankets on the floor
A grumbling drummer saddle sore
Seven hours and sometimes more
At the Bed of Roses
And the lamps sway side to side
The lamps sway side to side
If the lamps don't sway you just died
At the Bed of Roses
Temptations reared their ugly heads
Some things better off unsaid
But I still got the pictures in my head
Of the Bed of Roses
And people rave about 54
But that was just a disco store
Done for better far before
At the Bed of Roses
And Roy stays forever young
Roy stays forever young
Roy stays forever young
At the Bed of Roses, yeah
So unto us a club was born
A fallout shelter from the storm
And I was proud to be a thorn
In the Bed of Roses
You can never go back, so they say
And it's a bank now anyway
But I can still feel it like yesterday
The Bed of Roses
And the lamps swayed side to side
The lamps swayed side to side
Local gangsters and their weekend brides
In the Bed of Roses
And the band played all night long
The band played all night long
The Silver Bugs and Sheridan
Down the Bed of Roses

This is the lesson taught to me
A long time ago at my mother's knee
She said, someday someone who loves you
Will make you cry
Though he loves you he'll hurt you
Till you feel you could die
But if he says forgive me
Forgive if you can
For you are his woman
And he is your man
When you're looking for ROSES
There are thorns you will meet
And remember my child
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
Well it's finally happened
Now it's my turn to cry
Oh my darling you've hurt me
Till I feel I could die
But you're saying forgive me
And I understand
For I am your woman
And you are my man
Don't tell me about heartache
I've cried my share of tears
I've had my share of rain
But after the storm
No rain will appear
I just know when you hold me
My whole world is complete
And the lesson is clear
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet
And the lesson is clear
Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every ROSE has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every ROSE has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to her favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Every ROSE has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every ROSE has its thorn
Though it's been a while now
I could still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
And now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess
Every ROSE has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every ROSE has its thorn

Do you REMEMBER back in old LA?
When everybody drove a Chevrolet?
Whatever happened to the boy next door?
The suntanned, crew cut, all American male?
Remember dancin' at the high school hop?
The dress I ruined with the soda pop?
I didn't recognize the girl next door
With beat up sneakers and a ponytail
Beach baby, beach baby
Give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before
We could walk by the shore
In the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby
There on the sand
From July to the end of September
Surfin' is fun
We'd be out in the sun everyday
Umm
I never thought that it would end
Ooh
And I was everybody's friend
Long hot days
Cool sea haze
Jukebox plays
But now it's fading away
Ah
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
We couldn't wait for graduation day
We took the car and drove to San Jose
That's where you told me that you'd wear my ring
I guess you don't remember anything
Beach baby, beach baby
Give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before
We could walk by the shore
In the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby
There on the sand
From July to the end of September
Surfin' is fun
We'd be out in the sun everyday
I REMEMBER you-ooh
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
I REMEMBER you-ooh
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?
I REMEMBER, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I REMEMBER you-ooh
I REMEMBER, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I REMEMBER, tell them I REMEMBER
Tell them I REMEMBER you

It was a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
The moon was bright, oh, how so bright
It was, it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Ooh, when she kissed me
I had to fall in love
Oh, it was a kiss ooh what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Oh, how she could kiss, oh what a kiss
It was, it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I REMEMBER, I'll always remember
Oh, what a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
Ooh, such a kiss, such a night
It was a night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss, the kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember
That night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember
Oh, that night ooh what a night
It was, it really was such a night
When we kissed, I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes, she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn, and my love was gone
But before that dawn, yes, before that dawn and before that dawn
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Such a night

I REMEMBER all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I've walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away

You kissed me and stopped me from shaking

Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the good old days, right
Everybody, the good old days, the good old days
Well, let's talk about the good old days
Come to think of it as, as bad as we think they are
these will become the good old days for our children, hum
Why don't we, ah
Try to REMEMBER that kind of September, when
When life was slow and oh, so mellow, hum
Try to remember, and if you remember then follow
Oh, why does it seem the past is always better
We look back and think
The winters were warmer
The grass was greener
The skies were bluer
And smiles were bright
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we
Could we
Memories, like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Hahaa...
Oh, can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me.. haha...
Would we
Could we
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The Way We Were...
Remember, the way we were

I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points, hardly renowned
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points of her own, sittin' way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
Umm, in the sweet summertime
We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me but neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
Mmm, and it was summertime
Mmm, sweet, summertime, summertime
Oh, wonderin'
Felt the lightning, yeah
And I waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered?
Started hummin' a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in
Mmm, night moves, mmm
(Night moves) night moves
(Night moves) yeah
(Night moves) I REMEMBER
(Night moves) ah, I sure REMEMBER the night moves
(Night moves) ain't it funny how you REMEMBER?
(Night moves) funny how you REMEMBER
(Night moves) I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER
(Night moves) oh, oh, oh
we were workin', workin' and practicin'
(Night moves) workin' and practicin'
(Night moves) oh, on the night moves, night moves
(Night moves) oh
(Night moves) I REMEMBER, yeah, yeah, yeah, I REMEMBER
(Night moves) ooh
(Night moves) I REMEMBER, Lord I REMEMBER, Lord I REMEMBER
(Night moves) ha, ha, ooh-hoo
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh huh, uh huh
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER
Remember when we'd get together
Burn the candle don't you know
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no
This time I'm gonna kill that bastard
This time I'm not gonna miss, this time I'm not gonna miss
This time there ain't no doubt about it
Let me be quite clear on this
Out the back and down the alley
Gone to get your bucket spiked
Come back when you think you need me
Come back any time you like
Where'd you get that red dress
Where'd you get that red dress
Yes I'm drunk but damn you're ugly
Tell you one thing yes I will
Tomorrow morning I'll be sober
You'll be just as ugly still
Where'd you get that red dress
I don't know what you got goin' on
But You know I never seen you with that red dress on
Tell me where'd you get that red dress
Watching out the kitchen window
Right here in this old brown chair
Stack the empties on the table
Toss 'em down the basement stairs
Where'd you get that red dress
Where'd you get that red dress
Remember when we'd get together
Burn the candle don't you know
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no

Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo)
My lips were so afraid to say, "I love you"
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo)
The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo), and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you (remember when)
Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when
Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start and it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when
Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when
Remember when the sound of little feet
Was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when
Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are, where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when
Remember when
Remember when

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You STICK around, now it may show

Something in the things she shows me

My Daddy was workin' nine to five

Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road.
Well my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' out of control.
Well I was down there in about an hour or so.
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
MILES and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
Ooh, but you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you, baby
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
And I never knew, oh, never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Oh, when I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you (I just close my eyes)
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you (when I need)
All that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away

He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin fallin’ down
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged MILE
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged MILE
Your children are so hungry
That they don’t know how to smile
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there’s anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares?
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell yuh
That you ain’t a-got no friend
Your babies are crying louder
It’s pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It’s pounding on your brain
Your wife’s screams are stabbin’ you
Like the dirty drivin’ rain
Your grass it is turning black
There’s no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There’s no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That’s hangin’ on the wall
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you’re holdin’ in your hand
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean’s pounding roar
There’s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
There’s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There’s seven new people born

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by
And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night
And the questions and thousands take flight
My love is MILES in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
In the secret that burns and the pain that won't stop
And it's fueled with the years
Leading me on (leading me on)
Leading me down the road
Driving me on (driving me on)
Driving me down the road
My love is exceeding the limit
Red eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while at the side?
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror still expecting their prey
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back, no
There is no turning back on the run
My love is in the league
With the freeway
Oh, with the freeway
And the coming of the night time
My love
My love is in the league with the freeway

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand MILES I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

If I could be you
And you could be me
For just one hour
If we could find a way
To get inside
Each other's mind, mm-hmm

Through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be
Surprised to see
That you've been blind, mm-hmm
Walk a mile in my shoes

You see around you
Is just a reflection

Just what you sow, yes you will
So unless
You've lived the life
Of total perfection, mm-hmm
You'd better be careful
Of every stone
That you should throw, yeah
And yet we spend the day
Throwin' stones
At one another
'Cause I don't think
Or wear my hair
The same way you do, mm-hmm
Well, I may be
Common people

And when you strike out
And try to hurt me
It's a-hurtin' you, Lord have mercy

Had the wings
Of a little angel, yeah
Don't you know I'd fly
To the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry, yeah
