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!

When I grow up to be a MAN
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl?
(Fourteen fifteen)
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world?
(Sixteen seventeen)
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
Ooh ooh ooh
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(Eighteen nineteen)
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
(Twenty twenty-one)
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life, rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
(Twenty-two twenty-three)
Won't last forever
(Twenty-four twenty-five)
It's kind of sad
(Twenty-six twenty-seven)
Won't last forever
(Twenty-eight twenty-nine)
It's kind of sad
(Thirty thirty-one)
Won't last forever
(Thirty-two)
Well, my pad is very messy
And there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music
And I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
Well, if I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Movin' where our minds are at
And relatin' to each other
Just how strong our wills can be
I'm resisting all involvement
With each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
I got to keep my image
While suspended from a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom
Full of people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
I never had no problems
And my toilet's trimmed with chrome
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so, no no
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
Yes I am (no, no, no)
I need you so bad(yeah)
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do

Love of my life this moment was made for us somehow,
Where did you come from and how did it start,
Was it a star from heaven that brightened up my heart?
That light keeps shining on me
Since you walked into my life,
You're here and now I can see
Whatever it takes, take care of me.
Oh MAN, don't make me cry,
Don't let it die,

So man, don't ever go, I need you so
This love, this feeling's gonna grow

My heart was so HEAVY with longing for you
My arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
Alone in my sorrow I heard a voice cry,
A voice in the wilderness
A voice from the sky.
Have faith in your darling
The voice seemed to say
Be true to her memory
She'll come back one day.
And though there was no one
Nobody to see,
The voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me
We had a quarrel,
I was unkind
Why did you leave me
Love made me blind
My darling forgive me
I long for your touch
Have pity come back now
I need you so much
Believe me and you'll hear it
That voice from above
The voice in the wilderness
The voice of true love
Believe me and you'll hear it
That voice from above
The voice in the wilderness
The voice of true love

Last time I was sober, man, I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On HEAVY, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like the dirty tricks
'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes, if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
My chick loves a man who's strong
The things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song
I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't a-climb this hill
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes, if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Head bangers in leather
Sparks fly in the dead of the night
It all comes together
When they shoot out the lights
50,000 wats of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
reachin overload
Start to explode
It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it HEAVY Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it HEAVY Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it HEAVY Metal noise
Tight pants and lipstick
She's riding on razor's edge
She holds her own against the boys
Yeah!Cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ohh, can you feel the static
So many contacts being made
We've got up front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage
It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it HEAVY Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it HEAVY Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it HEAVY Metal noise

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't HEAVY, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
My eyes grew HEAVY and my lips, they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice it's size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
Oh, summer wine

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat 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
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 wanna give you, babe
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
Oh, I need you
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
When I need you
I just close my eyes!
And you're right here by my side
Keeping my warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I'm with you, darling
Yes, I'm with you, darling
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you, darling
Oh, I want you
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin', go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
I like smoke and lightnin'
HEAVY metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah, darlin', go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
We're lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a WORD of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you
I'm in love with you
Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
There just might be some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing to
Don't believe a word
Words are only spoken
But your heart is like a promise
Made to be broken
Don't believe a word
Words can tell lies
And lies are no company

Will you take me poolside
To feel the summer breeze?
There's a place that looks inviting
By the frangipani tree
A little taste of moonlight
And a canopy of stars
Ooh
It's a feeling
Such a feeling
Something I cannot hide
You're the reason
I'm so HIGH
Never had the feeling
So could it be more right
I feel as if I know you
And we only met tonight
I've got a cool sensation
I can hardly catch my breath
Ooh
It's a feeling
Such a feeling
Something I cannot hide
You're the reason
I'm so high
Ooh
It's a feeling
Such a feeling
Something I cannot hide
On the ceiling
I'm so high
In the evening
I'm so high
Such a feeling
I'm so high
The party's almost over
I don't want tonight to end
We could be starting something
You feel more than a friend
The universe conspired
For the two of us tonight
Ooh
It's a feeling
Such a feeling
Something I cannot hide
You're the reason
I'm so high
Ooh
It's a feeling
Such a feeling
Something I cannot hide
You're the reason
I'm so high
On the ceiling
I'm so high
In the evening
I'm so high
Such a feeling
I'm so high
Eight miles HIGH , and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town, known for its sound
In places, small faces unbound
Round the squares, huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines
Some living, some standing alone

You take me HIGH, out of the blue,
You're by my side whenever I need you
The way you smile, the way you move,
Why should I try, I can't get over you.
All through the night you take me on
When we unite, I know where I belong
When winter reigns, I'll be your friend
What we create, may last until the end.
And through the time that's passing by
I hope you'll always be, you'll be forever
The way you are, the way you are.
Where mountains rise, I'll stand by you
My heart assigned, like only lovers do
If we're apart, I'll cross the sea
Don't close your heart, this love was always free.
And through the time that's passing by
I hope you'll always be, you'll be forever
The way you are, the way you are.
And if you leave, don't go too far
In your beliefs, just be the way you are
The way you are, the way you are.
Just be the way you are
The way you are, the way you are.

Only she can see the way that I feel
Eyes are holding right across the room

I come from DOWN in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Ah-yah
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Ah-yah-yah
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride
Ah-yah-ay
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer WINE is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips, they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice it's size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time a way
And talk about their homes
Theres a girl in this harbor town
And she works laying whiskey down
They say Brandy fetch another round
She serves them whisky and WINE
The sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of spain
A locket that bears the name of the man that Brandy loved
He came on a summers day bringing gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldnt stay
The harbor was his home
The sailor said Brandy you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life my love and my lady is the sea
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its raging glory
But he had always told the truth lord he was an honest man
And Brandy (a-a-a-h...) does her best to understand
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a slient town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say Brandy you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life my love and my lady is the sea
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
(doo-doo-doo-doo)
Brandy you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life my love and my lady is the sea

I was once out strolling
One very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun
And felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long-haired, leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The Hall of the Mountain King
I stood high up on a mountaintop
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones
Crazy ones
Out of the middle
Came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said
Spill the WINE, dig that girl
Spill the WINE, take that pearl
Spill the WINE, dig that girl
Spill the WINE, take that pearl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared
But soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of WINE
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the WINE from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drunk it
She said
Take the WINE, take that pearl
Spill the WINE, take that pearl
Take the WINE, take that pearl
Spill the WINE, take that pearl
Take that pearl, yeah!
It's all good
Oh, you got to do it
Spill that WINE, spill that WINE
Spill the WINE, spill the WINE, spill the WINE, spill the WINE, spill the WINE
Take that pearl

[Verse 1]
SHOW me the prison, show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose life has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
But there but for fortune go you or I, hmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
Show me the alley, show me the train
Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
But there but for fortune go you or I, hmm-mmm
[Verse 3]
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
But there but for fortune go you or I, hmm-mmm
[Verse 4]
Show me the country where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
But there but for fortune go you and I, you and I
[Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 1]
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there.
Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way.
Praying for survival at the end of the day.
There is no compassion for those who stay.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
There must be someone who can set them free:
To take their sorrow from this odyssey
To help the helpless and the refugee
To protect what's left of humanity.
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there;
To heal their sorrow
To beg and borrow
Fight tomorrow.

Man alone, born of stone,
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul;
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold.
Fear that rattles in men's ears
And rears its hideous head
Dread... Death... in the wind...
Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever's blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night;
Draws a blade of compassion
Kissed by countless Kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.
Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed... Dust... in the wind...
No man yields who flies in my ship
Danger!
Let the bridge computer speak
Stranger!
Load your program. I am yourself.
No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a nuclear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn.
Rejoice! Glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain,
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names.
I am all there is
Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live!
But I gave you life
What else could you do?
To do what was right
I'm perfect! Are you?

Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the SHOW to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine, follow the stars
Venus and Mars
Are alright tonight
Well, I just heard the news today
It seems my life is goin' to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll SHOW you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well, I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll SHOW you everything
With arms wide open, now everything has changed
I'll SHOW you love, I'll SHOW you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll SHOW you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open
If I had just one wish, only one demand
I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands
That he can take this life and hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world with arms wide open
With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll SHOW you everything
With arms wide open, now everything has changed
I'll SHOW you love, I'll SHOW you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll SHOW you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open

Beautiful people
You live in the SAME world as I do
But somehow I never noticed you before today
I'm ashamed to say
Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn't right we never met before
But then
We may never meet again
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
I would run and take all your hands
And I'd gather everyone together for a day
And when we gathered, I'll pass buttons out that say
Beautiful people
Then you'd never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in everything you do
Beautiful people
You ride the same subway as I do every morning
That's got to tell you something
We've got so much in common
I go the same direction that you do
So if you take care of me, maybe I'll take care of you
Beautiful people
You look like friends of mine
It's about time that someone said it here and now
I make a vow that some time, somehow
I'll have a meeting, invite everyone you know
I'll pass out buttons for the ones who come to show
Beautiful people
Never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in everything you do
He may be sitting right next to you
He may be beautiful people too
And if you take care of him
Maybe I'll take care of you
And you're all beautiful people too
As soon as you are able, woman I am willing
To make the break that we are on the brink of
My cup is on the table, my love is spilling
Waiting here for you to take and drink of
So if you're tired of the SAME old story
Oh, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, yeah, yeah
I knew it had to happen, felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin', felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me like a sweet sun shower
So if you're tired of the SAME old story
Oh, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, ooh
So if you're tired of the SAME old story
Oh baby, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, baby
Roll with the changes
Ah, you know you know you know you got to
Oh yeah
(Keep on rollin') Ooh roll with the changes
Keep on rollin' (Keep on rollin', keep on rollin')
Oh, now roll with the changes, oh, baby
Oh, you got to learn to roll with the changes
Got to, got to, got to, got to keep on rollin'
(Keep on rollin'), got to learn to, got to learn to
Got to learn to roll

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the SAME?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain

Am I only dreaming?

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the SAME again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
So wild, standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face
Here in her place
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a Summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the SAME boy I used to be
Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying
Her cries hang there
In time, somewhere
Someday, some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night, I may hear her like she used to be
No, it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the SAME boy I used to be
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a Summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in your arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the SAME boy I used to be
I'm the SAME boy I used to be

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder with nothing to show
When the judge's constipation go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
It's the SAME old story
SAME old song and dance, my friend
It's the SAME old story
SAME old song and dance, my friend
Gotcha with the cocaine, they found with your gun
No smooth-face lawyer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the SAME on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the SAME old story
SAME old song and dance, my friend
It's the SAME old story, SAME old story
SAME old song and dance
Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Your old-time connection change your direction
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the SAME to you, my friend
When you're low down and dirt from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy no one to meet
Say love ain't the SAME on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the SAME old story
SAME old song and dance, my friend
It's the SAME old story, SAME old story
SAME old song and dance
