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!
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
(Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check)
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

You can dance through the night
Rock 'n' roll music itching to fight
Makin' love drunk or stoned
Lookin' for dollars, get broken-boned
It's a game too tough to tame
Ends up the same
Sweatin' out the rain
I was trapped like a fly on the wall
I was caged like a **** animal
No escape from the fate that you make
You're a snake, I've had all I can take
Watch out, there's a fly on the wall
Take a chance, take a bite
Ooh, rock roll devil take me tonight
Like a bitch making heat
Beatin' on my chest, licking at my feet
It's a game too tough to tame
Ending up the same
Sweating in the rain
So watch out, there's a fly on the wall
I was trapped like a fly on the wall
I was caged like a **** animal
No escape from the fate that you make
You're a snake, I've had all I can take
I was trapped like a fly on the wall
I was caged like a **** animal
No escape from the fate that you make
You're a snake, I've had all I can take
I was trapped like a fly on the wall
I was caged like a **** animal
Enraged from the fate that you make
You're a snake, and I've had all I can take
There's a fly on the wall

I've been around for you
Been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
Lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peelin' the years away
And we can't relive it
Oh, I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said we'd work it out
You said that ya had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holdin' on
To a feelin' I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
Oh, I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly (fly)
Oh, don't you know it's
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
(Time for me to fly)
Oh, babe, that's just how it's got to be
Oh, I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
(It's time for me to fly)
It's time for me to fly
(It's time for me to fly)
It's time for me to fly
(It's time for me to fly)
It's time for me to fly

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to FLY but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well, the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
Coming down (Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)
Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
(Learning to fly, learning to fly)

I have just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the Dream Weaver train
Driver, take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
FLY me high through the starry skies
Or maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Far from day, far from night
Out of time, out of sight
In between earth and sea
We shall FLY, follow me
Dry the rain, warm the snow
Where the winds never go
Follow me, follow me
Follow me
Follow me to a cave by a sapphire shore
Where we'll walk through an emerald door
And for thousands of breathless "evermore's" my life you will be
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me

Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing, this girl's an open page
Bookmarking, 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 staffroom 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
I'd like my life to be simple
I need my life to be straight
I'd like to see my existence
Going great going great
Going great great great
I want my life to be easy
Need my life to be pure
I want to see my success is
Guaranteed that's for sure
That's for sure sure sure
Give me the simple life
The plain and the simple life
You've got to give me the simple life
The plain and the simple life
Don't want my life to be anxious
Don't need my life to be tense
I'd like to see my existence
Making sense making sense
Making sense sense sense
I'd like my life to be simple
Like my life to be plain
So don't you say that I ever
Live in vain live in vain
That's insane sane sane
Give me the simple life
The plain and the simple life
Give me the simple life
The plain and the simple
Give me the simple life
The plain and the simple life
Give me the simple life
The plain and the simple

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get through' with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb;
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
But now, the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get through' with me
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, ev'ry night you drag me where the bright lights are found;
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale;
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get through' with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

All my friends say, I should leave you alone.
You've got a heart like a stone, And a wonderin' eye.
And I know that they're right.
I can make up my mind, Not to see you again,
But you move through my dreams like the wind,
It's no good to pretend, It won't happen again,
Cause it'll happen again.
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.
And baby I tried, But I'm just not that strong,
Yes, I knew all along, But that's not enough
I was falling in love.
And you don't know it, But I came over tonight,
There was somebody's car parked outside.
Damn my eyes, Damn this heart of mine.
I drove off into the night.
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.
Somewhere in the city tonight,
There's a girl and she's lonely like me,
She'll be easy to see.
And naturally, She'll have that look in her eyes,
She'll be feeling that way.
I see it all plain as day.
Oh, I'll never be, what she wants me to be
Oh, but lucky for me
Some fools never learn.
Play with the fire,
And your gonna get burned.
It's only love when your loved in return.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.
Some fools never learn.

I like it here where I am
Leaving everyone be
Doing the things that I do
Just being PLAIN old me
Here in my own little nest
I find contentment and rest
Happy as I can be
Just being plain old me
You never hear me crying
Cause I can't reach the sun
You never see me trying
To change places with anyone
Cause I like it here where I am
Leaving everyone be
Loving the one I love
Just being plain old me
Yeah, Billy
You're never hear me crying
Because I can't reach the sun
You'll never see me trying
To change places with anyone
Cause I like it here where I am
Minding my own business and leaving everyone be
Loving the one I love
Just being plain old me

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
The love we knew ain't worth another try
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her PLAIN
But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I'm city born, but I love the country life
For I will not be part of her cocktail generation
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert PLAIN, yeah
Where the streets have no name, ah-ha
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high
I scratched 'till I bled
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I've ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Quote me on that
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make sense
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
And one more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home
I love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
I can't complain
I'm on a PLAIN
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is PLAIN to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale...

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so FAR away
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
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 wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just wanna use your love tonight, whoa
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been awhile since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'
As you leave me, 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 wanna use your love tonight, yeah
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Yeah, I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
(Lose your love)
(Lose your love)
Tonight (Lose your love)
I don't wanna lose (Lose your love tonight)
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna (Lose your love tonight)
No, no (Lose your love tonight)

No, no (I don't wanna lose your love tonight)

I hear the sound of distant drums
FAR away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so FAR
My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say, "I'm cool, " "He's cool")
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say, "Oh yeah, " "Oh yeah")
I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Ah, yeah, yeah
The Who
I know you've deceived me
Now here's a surprise
I know that you have
'Cause there's magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles
And miles, and miles, and miles
Oh, yeah
If you think that I don't know about
The little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately
You put things in my way
Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and milеs
I can see for miles and miles
And miles, and miles, and miles
Oh, yeah
You took advantage of my trust in you
When I was so FAR away
I saw you holding lots of other guys
And now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
And miles, and miles, and miles
Oh, yeah
I know you've deceived me
Now here's a surprise
I know that you have
'Cause there's magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles
And miles, and miles, and miles
Oh, yeah
The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal
Are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball
To see right through the haze
Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles, and
Miles, and miles, and miles, and
Miles, and miles, and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

Long ago, and, oh, so FAR away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again? (Baby)
Come back to me again (baby)
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home, cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
FAR away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too FAR
Get you too FAR
Don't you know? Don't you know?
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong, 'cause
You're a rich girl (Rich girl)
And you've gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl (Bitch, girl), and it's gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
Say money but it won't get you too FAR, get you too FAR
High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow, ooh
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
You're a rich girl (Rich girl) and you've gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway (Rich girl)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch, girl (Bitch, girl), and it's gone too FAR
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway, yeah (Rich girl)
Say money but it won't get you too FAR
Say money but it won't get you too FAR
Say money but it won't get you too FARJ, get you too FAR
And you say, you can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl (Rich girl)
A rich girl
Oh, you're a rich bitch girl, yeah (Rich girl)
Say money but it won't get you too FAR
Won't get you too FAR

Far from day, far from night
Out of time, out of sight
In between earth and sea
We shall fly, follow me
Dry the rain, warm the snow
Where the winds never go
Follow me, follow me
Follow me
Follow me to a cave by a sapphire shore
Where we'll walk through an emerald door
And for thousands of breathless "evermore's" my life you will be
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Only you, only I
World farewell, world goodbye
To our home 'neath the sea
We shall fly, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down
From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday
On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with lights
A building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around
From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday
Echo Beach, far away in time
Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so FAR away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too FAR away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too FAR away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too FAR away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too FAR away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too FAR away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong
Bought me a bottle of wine
I'm gonna drink it tonight
And you can join me
It's gonna make us feel alright
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
I'm gonna sip it slowly
I'm not gonna rock it back
I am no historian, but I
I've learned from my past what I've learned
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
It's a slow job falling in love
It's a slow job
Falling in love, it's a slow job
Don't rush the good things tonight, oh
You and me, baby
No need to rush it tonight
'Cause we got all the time in the world
To get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
'Cause it's a slow job, falling in love
It's a slow job tonight
It's a slow job, falling in love
Said it's a slow job tonight
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life (yeah)
Don't rush the good things
Get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things tonight
We got all the time in the world
I said get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it
There's a calm surrender to the RUSH of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
Can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we've got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest?
Oh, it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
Can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we've got this far
Can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest?
Oh, it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Oh, it's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Fools RUSH in
Where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love
My heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Fools rush in
Where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let

I've got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a hard RUSH
It's slowin' down
I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh
She's givin' you now
I want to taste her lips
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blond hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, 'cause maybe then
You'd want me just as much
I've got a girl crush
I've got a girl crush
I don't get no sleep
I don't get no peace
Thinkin' about her
Under your bed sheets
The way that she's whisperin'
The way that she's pullin' you in
Lord knows I've tried
I can't get her off my mind
I want to taste her lips
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume

As the midnight moon, was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
I'm tired of fast moves
I've got a slow groove
On my mind
I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated RUSH
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
On shadowed ground, with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin', don't say a word, 'cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
If I want it all night
You say it's alright
We got the time
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
If I want it all night
Please say it's alright
It's not a fast move
But a slow groove
On my mind
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand
I got a lover with an easy touch
I found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
I found a lover with a slow hand
Oh, lover with the slow hand
And I get all excited with his easy touch
I found somebody who will spend the night
Not come and go in a heated rush

Straight from my heart

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
EVERY little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
When I'm with her, I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes, I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
For I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
EVERY time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve, as I've done from the start
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me
In some old-fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
EVERY little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
EVERY little thing, EVERY little thing
EVERY, EVERY little thing
EVERY little, EVERY little, EVERY little
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
EVERY little thing she does
That she does is magic
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
Eee oh, oh, eee oh, oh
EVERY little thing
EVERY little thing
EVERY little thing
She does is magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Ey oh, yo oh
Eee oh oh oh oh oh
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me
That ends up getting wet

I hear songs on the radio
They might be fast or they might be slow
But every song they play's
Got me thinkin' 'bout you
I see a fella walkin' down the street
He looks at me and he smiles real sweet
But he don't matter to me
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you
EVERY little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
My tongue gets tied when I try to talk
My knees get weak when I start to walk
So, I might as well stay home
And keep thinkin' 'bout you
'The Young And The Restless' on my TV set
That's just like us when we first met
And when they start to kissin'
Got me thinkin' 'bout you
Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Come on
Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
Every Little Thing reminds me of you
Honey, when you leave me here all alone
All alone!

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies
Lonely roads to Babylon
There's my family and my country
Heaven knows where I belong
Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell, don't say goodbye
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
Thats where I wanna be
EVERY beat of my heart
Tears me furthur apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
One more glass of wine
Just for Auld Lang Syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss you now, in my darkest hour
And the way, our arms entwined
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
That's where I wanna be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark
I'm going home
And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Tear awhile the Emerald Isle
Until the northern lights
And the swollen pipes
How they make a grown man cry
Seagull carry me
Over land and sea
To my old folk
That's where I wanna be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
I'm going home
John Denver
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

My friend's got a girlfriend, man, he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says, "Man, I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass, he works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
To keep the bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
'Cause that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah
But, hey man, free rides just don't come along every day
(Let me tell you about my other friend now)
My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I won't give you no money, I always pay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy
