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!

Well I see him on the TV
Preaching 'bout the promised lands
He tells me "believe in Jesus"
Steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned, yeah, yeah
Twenty two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friends in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried "forgive me for what I done there
'Cause I never meant the things I did"
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some palm springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down an' cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
See my smile it fades again
Uh, give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
If there's a Lord above
Uh, give me something to believe in, yeah (uh, give me something to believe in)
Oh, Lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
I drive by the homeless sleepin' on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
Used to read "Jesus saves"
A mile away live the rich folk
And I see how they're livin' it up
But while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich are drinkin' from the golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose and so few win, ha
Give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
Give me something to believe in (uh, give me something to believe in)
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
Oh, Lord arise
Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
Oh, Lord arise
Oh, give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
Oh, Lord arise (take the low road)
Give me something to believe in (take the high road, give me something to believe in)
Oh, Lord arise (take the low road)
Yeah, sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then, yeah
And give me something to believe in, yeah-yeah

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
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Call out the instigators
Because there's SOMETHING in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's SOMETHING in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
Hand out the arms and ammo
We're going to blast our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on
He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light
But you could always find him standing up
For what he thought was right
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's days
But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

It's you (it's you)
It's you (it's you)
It's you (it's you)
Time
I've been passing time
Watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand
Watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
SOMETHING's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back
As lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met
And what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you, yeah, yeah, yeah
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And with so much love to make, yeah, yeah
I think we're gonna meet some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
It's you
It's you
It's you
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before (oooh)
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
Baby it's you
Baby it's you
It's you (baby it's you)
It's you (baby it's you)
It's you
Baby it's you
Baby it's you
Baby it's you
Baby it's you

Woke up this morning feelin' fine
There's something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah
Something tells me I'm into SOMETHING good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love?
(She's everything I've been dreamin' of)
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
(Something tells me I'm into something, ahhh)
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, something good, something good

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is SOMETHING to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I'll just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
Stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing SOMETHING we don't, darlin'
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous
Could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you everyday
Dreaming 'bout you every night
I'm hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'
Let's give 'em something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out, babe
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love, love, love?
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about, babe
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about
How about love?
Ooh, listen up, baby
A little mystery won't hurt
Let's give 'em SOMETHING to talk about
How about our love, love, love, love?
How about love, love, love?

Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts
It's all right
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along
Where's there's life
There's hope, everyday's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard all day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
Don't give me songs
She needs backup.
Anya, Tara
Don't give me songs
Give me SOMETHING to sing about
I need something to sing about
Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
Still, my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for
All the joy, life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well, that depends
On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd
There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
'Till they pulled me out
Of Heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in Hell
Cause I've been expelled
From Heaven
I think I was
In Heaven
So, give me something to sing about
Please
Give me something
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone
Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got SOMETHING to believe in
And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
I've been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too
Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got SOMETHING to believe in
And I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin?
The world that gives you nothing, I need SOMETHING to believe in
SOMETHING to believe in, SOMETHING to believe in
I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin?
In a world that gives you nothing, I need SOMETHING to believe in

When I was younger, I thought I could stand on my own
It wasn't easy, I stood like a man made of stone, yeah, yeah
But there was SOMETHING about you (I want you to know)
Brought a change over me (girl, it's starting to show)
I've got this feeling inside
Got to have you, have you
Ain't no good to hide
It isn't easy to show
What I'm feeling inside, girl
It isn't easy, I know
When you believe in a man like me
When I get angry, I say things I don't want to say
I really mean it, I don't want to leave you this way, yeah yeah
I couldn't help my reaction (I want you to know)
I lose control over you (I just want you to know)
I've got this feeling inside
Got to have you, have you
Ain't no good to hide
It isn't easy to show
What I'm feeling inside, girl
It isn't easy, I know

But there was SOMETHING about you
It brought a change over me

It isn't easy, I know (to believe in a man like me)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak

Kick to kill, kick to kill
Kick to kill, kick to kill ya
I see myself in you
I see myself in something
Something you do, something bold
Something new that I can hold
And it's taking over
Nothing to do when everything is silent
Except mindless violence
Mindless violence
The calm is fake pretend
You can sense the tension rising
Hard on heat, harder than your
Rigid digits could ever score
And it's taking over
Nothing to do when everything is silent
Except mindless violence
Nothing to do and nothing to feel
Nothing to do and nothing to feel
And it kills me
Kills me stone dead
Kick to kill, kick to kill ya
Kick to kill, kick to kill ya
You like to play real hard
We speak the same strong language
Straight from the hip, straight to the jaw
Hitting the canvas, the floor is the law
And it's taking over
Nothing to do when everything is silent
Except mindless violence
Nothing to do and nothing to feel
Nothing to do and nothing to feel
Nothing to do and nothing to feel
Nothing to do and nothing to feel

We're on VACATION, havin' lots of fun

We're gonna grab a bite at the pizza stand
Write love letters in the sand
We're on vacation and the world is ours
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N under summer stars
Yeah, we'll hop in a jalopy to a drive-in movie and never look at the show
We're gonna hug and kiss just like this and I can't wait to go, go, go
We're gonna mashed potato to a jukebox tune
Park your car 'neath an August moon

Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I want to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it under cover
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
But something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
But I can't hide the way I'm feeling
As you're leaving please would you close the door?
And don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
I just want to use your love tonight
I don't want to lose your love tonight
Use your love, lose your love, your love!
I don't want to lose your love tonight
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
Lose your love tonight (your love)
Lose your love tonight (your love)

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss
I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says "No dice, son
You gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well my mama and papa told me
"Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car
To go a-ridin' next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick
"You can't use the car
'Cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine VACATION
I'm gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman
And he said, quote:
"I'd like to help you, son
But you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes, there are
You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed?
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes, it does
When you go on your summer VACATION
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed?
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Your name it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a race horse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha
They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
Where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed?
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, they tried
So look into my face, Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes, you do
I know where you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home, there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away, I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in
When you looked at me, I should have run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong, and I'm not so strong
I should have known all along that time would tell
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
VACATION, all I ever wanted
VACATION, had to get away
VACATION, meant to be spent all alone
VACATION, all I ever wanted
VACATION, had to get away
VACATION, meant to be spent all alone
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small VACATION but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain't a job, it's a damn good time
City to city, I'm running my rhymes
On location, touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on VACATION
Itchy trigger finger, but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I'm illing and able
Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking
Going coast to coast watch all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine-to-five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden cold kicking it live
No sleep 'til
Another plane, another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl, another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world, you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel, girls on the jock
We're trashing hotels like it's going out of style
Getting paid along the way 'cause it's worth your while
Four on the floor, Ad-Rock's out the door
MCA's in the back 'cause he's skeezing with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back
White boys got more rhymes
No sleep 'til
No sleep 'til Brooklyn
No sleep 'til Brooklyn
Ain't seen the light since we started this band
So, MCA, get on the mic, my man
Born and bred in Brooklyn USA
They call me Adam Yauch, but I'm MCA
Like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
Limos, arenas, and TV shows
Autographed pictures and classy hoes
Step off, Holmes, get out of my way
Taxing little girlies from here to L.A.
Waking up before I get to sleep
'Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week
No sleep 'til
No sleep 'til Brooklyn
No sleep 'til Brooklyn
No (No) sleep (Sleep) 'til Brooklyn (Brooklyn)
No (No) sleep (Sleep) 'til Brooklyn (Yeah)
No (No) sleep (Sleep) 'til Brooklyn (Brooklyn)
No (No) sleep (Sleep) 'til Brooklyn (Brooklyn)
No (No) sleep (Sleep) 'til Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

Young TEACHER, the subject
Of SCHOOLGIRL fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside him, there's longing
This girl's an open page
BOOK marking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the TEACHER's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the CLASSROOM
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the STAFF ROOM
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That BOOK by Nabokov
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Well i don't think i'll make it through another day
It's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's startin' to decay
And i'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great
Be the best thing i ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word "exaggerate"
How'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'cause hey, i gotta know
Am i slow?
Where do i go from here?
Do abc's
And 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Sing it alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead
Ain't they got nothin' between their ears
How come they don't seem to hear a single word i say?
They ain't the only ones who're bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate
'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate
That makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Will i be in pain
Or will i have a brain
Or will i go insane, i've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane
'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me
That much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll

Everybody screamed
When I kissed the TEACHER
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush
She looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cause she was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe her eyes
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still but then she just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
What a mad day
Now I see everything in a different light
What a mad day
I was up in the air
And she taught me a lesson alright
I was in a trance
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
She was trying to explain the laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it
I just had to kiss the teacher
What a mad day
Now I see everything in a different light
What a mad day
I was up in the air and she taught me a lesson alright
What a crazy day
When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still, but then she just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo doo doo

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne
When we were at SCHOOL, our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You're so, so like a woman to me
(So like a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me
(Like a woman to me)
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your TEACHER
When the LESSON’S over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your BOOKS from SCHOOL
Playin' make believe you're married to me
You were FIFTH GRADE, I was sixth when we came to be
Walking home every day over Bonnicut Bridge and Bay
'Til we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny, I seem to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce about the girl I miss
And the love I left behind
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
All my life I will remember (Though I never laid a hand on you)
How warm and tender we were way back then (My eyes adored you)
Whoa-whoa, baby (Like a million miles away from me)
(You couldn't see how I adored you)
Oh the feeling, sad regrets (So close)
I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend (So close and yet so far)
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far
My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Thank you for the variation today too by the way… always nice to try different things

Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
Fuck man!)
Oh yeah, t-t-teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher don't you see? Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell but I am doing well

Ow! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher
(Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back!
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man
Whoa)
I heard about your lessons but lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn, how can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
Whoa! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher, woh
(Oh man, I think the clock is slow
What are you doin' this weekend?
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed)
Ooh, yeah

I'm hot for teacher
Whoa
Oh! Yes I'm hot
Oh my God!

Strong drinks are raging
Wine is a mocker
The TEACHERS TEACH the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the children's mind
The TEACHERS TEACH the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the children's mind
Jah Jah made the herb to soothe the children's mind
Babylon ban it, and call it a crime
They legalizе the wrong and ban the true
Thе parson button his collar behind his back
Hiding his face from the fact
Confusion on the land, Judgement is at hand
The TEACHERS TEACH the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the children's mind
When you read the morning paper
Murder is the headline news
Confusion on the land, Judgement is at hand
Yes, it's true, everyone knows it's true
Yes, it's true
The TEACHERS TEACH the lies
The preachers establish it high
Babylon makes the wine
To blow the children's mind
The TEACHERS TEACH the lies
The priests establish it high
Babylon makes the wine

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
Hello, I'm Terry
And I'm going to enjoy myself first
It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done

Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
It's later than you think
Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to SCHOOL, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool

Seven lonely DAYS and a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night and you were gone
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky back road
I've loved you much too long, my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing what went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
Showed your photograph to some old gray-bearded men
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
They said, "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day before
Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
As we drove on through the rain, as he listened, I explained
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain

Long ago and far away
In my ol' common LABOR shoes
I turned the world all which a way
Just because you asked me to.
Like unto no other
Feel simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me.
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to.
Knowing how much I love you
And after all that I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to.
(Lord. I hope you'll never do.)
Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters
And I'll do anything you asked me to.

The assembly plant moved to Mexico
The domestic sales started getting slow
But the bills kept pouring in me
And Beck took it on the chin
And the day the landlord threw us out
Becky she threw in the towel
She had enough at last
Of these modern grapes of wrath
Saddam Hussein still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
With a sign that reads will work for food
And later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
Where's the pot of gold for a street man named desire
It seems like a million years ago
I faced each day full of hope
Honest labor with my hands
Making a livin', making plans
Well, I never was much at drinking before
But these days its all that
Keeps me warm
Its still hard to believe
This could ever happen to me
Saddam Hussein still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't

He promised you his love would last forever
The DAY he said goodbye
All you wanted
Was to lay down and die
When you loved someone
Really loved someone
And you lost that one
Well, then nothing really matters
No forgiveness, no politeness
No one else could take his place
No one, no one
Oh-ooh
Come together, honey
Let him go now, honey
Save your heart
They say
No more cryin' in the dark
Gotta break loose, have some fun
Let yourself go, come undone
I know your friends mean well, but
Ooh
When you loved someone
Really loved someone
And you lost that one
Well, then nothing really matters
No forgiveness, no politeness
No one else could take his place
No one, no one

Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back

Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is
Lined with casualties, who sip the life casually
Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple, Eve
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style
Into the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on a whim
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
"Hail Mary" to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion (come on, come on, come on)

That'll be the DAY, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
You give me all your lovin' and all your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe that someday, well I'll be through
That'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That someday, well I'll be through
That'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Work work work
Work work work
I look for a job both day and night
I can't find nothin' that will suit me right
A little bit of labour I'm not tryin' to shirk
But everything I've found seems too much like work
(Work work work)
What you're talkin' 'bout?
(Work work work)
Are you talkin' to me?
(Work work work)
Mmm, mmm
(Work work work)
Hey, hey, hey
Does anybody here know somebody
Who needs somebody who wants somebody to
(Love love love)
Now, you're talkin' now
(Love love love)
I need a little spendin' change every now and then
I ain't seen a quarter since who knows when
I ask my friends if they could spare a little cash
But all they ever do is stand around and talk trash about
(Work work work)
What you're talkin' 'bout?
(Work work work)
Are you talkin' to me?
(Work work work)
Mmm, mmm
(Work work work)
Hey, hey, hey
Does anybody here know somebody
Who needs somebody who wants somebody to
(Love love love)
Now, you're talkin' now
(Love love love)
Work work work

Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
Breakin' rocks and servin' my time
Breakin' up these rocks on-a chain gang
‘cause I been convicted of a crime.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' … I been workin'
But, I still got a long way to go
I been convicted of the crime, Lord, of needin'
Crime of bein' hungry and poor
Had-a leave some grocery man bleedin'
When he found me robbin' his store.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' … I been workin'
But, I still got a long way to go
I wanna go see my baby
I got to break these chains off and run
I wanna lay my head where it's shady
Lord it sure gets hot in this sun.
Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' … I been workin'
But, I still got a long way to go
Heard a judge say, “Five years LABOR …
To the chain gang you got-a go.”
Heard a judge say, “Five years LABOR.”
Heard my woman scream, “Lord, no!”
Hold it steady right there while I hit it … huh!
Oh, reckon that ought-a get it
Been workin' … I been workin'
But, I got me so terrible long to go.
