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!

Every day is a new day
Since you went away
Ooh, yeah, since you went away
Since you WENT away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
Since you WENT away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
(Every day's a new day)
Since you WENT away from me
etc.

The devil WENT down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
The boy said, "my name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished, Johnny said, "well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"
"Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been"
He played "Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
The chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, will your dog bite? No child, no

Love is a burnin' thing,
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I WENT down, down, down
And the flames WENT higher,
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I WENT down, down, down
And the flames WENT higher,
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire ran wild.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I WENT down, down, down,
And the flames WENT higher,
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but you're still alive
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you WENT away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but you're still alive
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you WENT away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade, as soon as you close your eyes
And you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it?
Well, I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you WENT away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Why I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you WENT away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Everywhere I go
I see a face we used to know
I pass a place we used to go
When you were mine
Since you WENT away
(Since you went away)
My heart's not free
It keeps on raining down on me
Will there be a day when the sun will shine?
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again
Oh, where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end?
When I hear your name, I start to cry
Each day's the same since your goodbye
It's like a game, forgetting you
Every night I pray
(Every night I pray)
Tomorrow brings a sunny day and happy things
Just like the way it used to be
For you and me
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again
Oh, where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end?
Everywhere I go
I see a face we used to know
I pass a place we used to go
When you were mine
Since you went away
(Since you went away)
My heart's not free
It keeps on raining down on me
Will there be a day when the sun will shine?
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again
Oh, where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end?
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again
Oh, where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end?
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again

When you WENT away
You took all my pride,
Leaving me with this cold and empty feeling inside,
I cheated and I lied
And i played my greedy game
Now you're gone and I've only
Got myself to blame..

They said the joint was rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon WENT down
You know it sounds so sweet
I gotta take me a chance
Rose out of my seat
You know I had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Oh, clappin' my hands
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon WENT down
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
'Til the moon WENT down
Twelve o'clock
And the place was packed
Twelve o'clock
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
'Til the moon WENT down
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
'Til the moon WENT down

Why, I went to market to buy a cock
And the cock did very well please me
Every time I fed me cock
Well, I fed her all under a tree
And me cock went cock a cock a cock a doodle doo
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
So I went to market to buy a hen
And the hen did very well please me
Every time I fed me hen
I fed her all under a tree
And me hen went cattle
Cock cock went cock a cock a cock a doodle doo
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
So I went to market to buy a duck
And the duck did very well please me
Every time I fed me duck
I fed her all under a tree
And me duck went quack
And me hen went cattle
Cock cock went cock a cock a cock a doodle doo
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow
So I went to market to buy a goose …
And me goose went cackle …
So I went to market to buy a pig …
And me pig went [snort!] …
So I went to market to buy a sheep …
And me sheep went baa …
So I went to market to buy a cow …
And me cow went moo …
So I went to market to buy a wife
And the wife did very well please me
Every time I fed me wife
I fed her all under a tree
And me wife said dammit!
And me cow went moo
And me sheep went baa
And me pig went [snort!]
And me goose went cackle
And me duck went quack
And me hen went cattle
Cock cock went cock a cock a cock a doodle doo
And after every farmer's cock did my cock crow

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that WENT before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy now
Save poor Bob if you please"
Yeoo, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Ooo eeee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, eee, eee, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord
Babe, I am sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
Oh well, babe, in my distress
While I was laying in a hospital bed
A rock and roll nurse went through my head
She says, hold out your arm, stick out you tongue
I got some pills, boy, I'm going to give you one
She went through my head, through my head
Through my head, through my head
She went to my head, through my head
While I was laying in a hospital bed
She gave me thrills from my toes
For legging ache
She gave me pills from her love
But a little too late
She gave me pills for my heart
To put me at ease
The rock and roll nurse
Shook me dead to my knees
She went through my head, through my head
Through my head, through my head
She went to my head, through my head
While I was laying in a hospital bed
Nurses, nurses, can't you see
I don't dig this jive you giving me?
Give me your pill or give me your shot
You got me wondering what, what have I got?
She went through my head, through my head
Through my head, through my head
She went to my head, through my head
While I was laying in a hospital bed
Doctor, doctor, run here and see
I don't dig this jive this nurse giving me
She gimme a shot, she give me you pills
I'm taking this junk against my will
She went through my head, through my head
Through my head, through my head
She went to my head, through my head
While I was laying in a hospital bed

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile, forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would, if they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you, there're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday, I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out
So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget and make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
At all

I gave a LETTER to the postman
He put it in his sack
Bright early next morning
He brought my letter back
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me
Return to sender, address unknown
No such person, no such zone
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day then I'll understand
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone

Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a LETTER on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissin the day
Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't' know where I'll be tomorrow
Ooo the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go? I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever
Hasta mañana 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a LETTER
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta mañana, baby
Hasta mañana until then
Where is the dream we were dreaming
And all the nights we shared?
Where did they go? I just don't know
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta mañana 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta mañana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a LETTER
Say you forgive, the sooner the better

We hear you're leaving, that's okay
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a LETTER to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better

Write me a LETTER
Write me today
I'm goin away
Write me a LETTER
Write me a LETTER
Write me today
I'm goin away
Well I've been away forever, suicide's crossin' my mind,
But I'll never never never never never get so far behind.
I said, the ways of the night are evil
With eyes that love the day,
But I'll never never never never never get so far away.
I said write me, write me, write me.
I said write me, write me, write me.
Well there's nothin' I can see that'd ever make Me want to be without her
She's good, she's good to me.
Said there's no way to explain the kind of feeling That you get out in the rain
She's good, she's good to me.
See this emptiness inside it makes me scream It make me crawl out of my high,
She's good, she's good to me.
I love her.
Write me a LETTER, write me a LETTER, write it today, I'm goin' away.
Well I've been away forever, suicide's crossin' my mind,
But I'll never never never never never get so far behind.
Well I've been so many places hidin' from the wind and the rain,
But you could write me a LETTER for to save me from a goin' insane.
I said write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write.
I said write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write me.
Don't write me baby.
We both know I need this too much
Only I know that it's got to stop
But I can't keep my anger up
Change it, it's your job
Change it, it's your job
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
We both know I need this too much
Only I know that it's got to stop
But I can't keep my anger up
Change it, it's your job
Change it, it's your job
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
She'll break some hearts when she grows up
She'll break some hearts if she owns up
Mine is one
Mine is one
When she looks at me in that tone of voice
She don't need to make a noise
I can read her thoughts in capital letters
I've lost it since I met her
I've lost it since I met her
When she looks at me in that tone of voice
She don't need to make a noise
I can read her thoughts in capital letters
I've lost it since I met her
I've lost it since I met her
She'll break some hearts when she grows up
She'll break some hearts if she owns up
Mine is one
Mine is one
I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
Say, "Hurry, hurry! The gal you love is dead."
I got a letter this morning, I say how you reckon it read?
It say, "Hurry, hurry! mmm 'cause the gal you love is dead."
You know I grabbed up my suitcase, took off down the road
When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board
I grabbed up my suitcase, I said I took off down the road
I said when I got there, mmm she's laying on the cooling board
Lord, I walked up close, I looked down in her face
She's a good old girl, got to lay her to Judgment Day
I say I walked up close, I looked down in her face
I say she's a good old girl got to lay her to Judgment Day
Lord I fold up my arms, I slowly walked away
I said, "Farewell, Honey, I'll see ya Judgement Day!"
I fold up my arms, ah yes, I walked away
And I said, "Farewell, farewell, hmm, I'll see you Judgement Day!"
You know, I went in my room, and I bowed to pray
But the priest came along, and drove my spirit away
I went in my rules, yeah, I bowed to pray
I said, well, the blues came along, and drove my spirit away
You know, I thought I'd never love but four women in my life
My mother, my sister, dead gal, and my wife
I thought I'd never love, and I said, but four women in my life
I said my mother and my sister, my dead gal, and my wife
(You know, looked like 10,000 people
Were standin' around the buryin' ground
I didn't know I loved her, until I let her down
Looked like 10,000 standin' around the buryin ground
You know I didn't know that I loved her
UntiI I began to let her down)
You know I didn't feel so bad
Till the good Lord turned me down
I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around
I didn't feel so bad until the good Lord's son went down
I say I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around
You know I's cryin' last night, the night before
I'm gonna change my way of living
So I won't be crying no more
You know I cried last night, I said, all the night before
I said I'm gone change my way of living so I won't cry no more
(You know it's so hard to love when someone don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do
It's so hard to love someone that don't love you
You know you don't get no satisfaction
Don't care what you do
You know love had a fault
Make you do things you don't want to do
Love sometimes leave you feelin sad and blue
Love had a fault, make you do things you don't want to do
Love sometimes leave you feelin sad and blue)

Lovely princess of the islands

Aloha welcome my love
Her palmtrees gently do the hula

Black stations, white stations feet on the floor
Dance on the ceiling with us, this is 1984, ha!

Sink or swim, let them in

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel WAVING goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Oh Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
And I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, it must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry
Poetry in motion
Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A WAVE out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
And there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A swaying gracefully
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I know it's gonna hurt but you treated me like dirt
I always replay every day at home
Well, if you think you're lucky
Well, you're not lucky anymore
Well, we burn like a rocket
You said you loved me just like I loved you
But find a dime in your pocket
And you're on the phone to someone new
Well, we burn like a rocket
You said you loved me just like I loved you
But find a dime in your pocket
And you're on the phone to someone new
Someone had to pray
One of us had to pray
Now I do without
All the things I need you for
Well, if I said I loved you
Well, I don't love you anymore
Oh, yes, if I said I love you
Well, I don't love you anymore

If I could WAVE my magic wand
I am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
Like a stranger coming out of the rain
The evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you're doing tonight
If I could WAVE my magic wand
I'd make everything all right
I'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnight
I had a dream of a winter garden
A midnight rendezvous
Silver, blue and frozen silence
What a fool I was for you
I had a dream of the open water
I was swimming away out to sea
So deep I could never touch bottom
What a fool I used to be
If I could WAVE my magic wand
I'd set everybody free
I'm not one to believe in magic
Though my memory has a second sight
I'm not one to go pointing my finger
When I radiate more heat than light
Don't ask me, I'm just improvising
My illusion of careless flight
Can't you see my temperature's rising?
I radiate more heat than light
Don't ask me, I'm just sympathizing
My illusion's a harmless flight
Can't you see my temperature's rising?
I radiate more heat than light
I'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnight
I'm not one to believe in magic
(If I could WAVE my magic wand)
Though my memory has a second sight
(I'd make everything all right)
I'm not one to go pointing my finger
(If I could WAVE my magic wand)
When I radiate more heat than light
(I'd set everybody free)
I'm not one to believe in magic
(If I could WAVE my magic wand)
I'm not one to believe in magic

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest WAVE
You race towards an early grave
Baby, when you gotta sleep, lay your head down low
Don't let the world lay heavy on your soul
'Cause when you gotta sleep, you gotta sleep
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you
Baby, if you lose your love, don't take me by surprise
Don't think you're crying, but there's teardrops in your eyes
If you gotta leave, you gotta leave
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you
Babe, you know you gotta be and let your light shine through
And don't let anybody tell you what to do
'Cause babe, you gotta be, you gotta be
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station to Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving

I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench an old man was sitting there
I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down
He said, naw, it'll do for our little town
I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit
And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it
He said, have a seat, and I sat down
Is this the first time you've been to our little town?
I said, I think it is
He said, I don't like to brag
But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
Washington took it across the Delaware
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing say can you see
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams
And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the texas flag, but she waved on though
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg
And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag
On Flanders field in World War one
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun
She turned blood red in World War Two
She hung limp and low a time or two
She was in Korea and Vietnam
She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam
She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home
In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused
And the government for WHICH she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more
So we raise her up every morning
We take her down every night
We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
On second thought, I do like to brag
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag

I was born under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Wheels are made for rollin'
Mules are made to pack
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back
I was born under a wandrin' star
Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to
WHICH with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Do I know where hell is?
Hell is in hello
Heaven is goodbye for ever, it's time for me to go
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
When I get to heaven tie me to a tree
Or I'll begin to roam, and soon you know where I will be
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star

Where would you rather be?
Anywhere, anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
Anywhere, anywhere but here
Anywhere, anywhere but here
On the edge of sleep, I was drifting for half the night
Anxious and restless, pressed down by the darkness
Bound up and wound up so tight
So tight
So many decisions, a million revisions
Caught between darkness and light
Wilderness of mirrors
World of polished steel
Gears and iron chains
Turn the grinding wheel
I run between the shadows
Some are phantoms, some are real
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere, anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
Where would you rather be?
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
On the edge of sleep, I heard voices behind the door
The known and the nameless, familiar and faceless
My angels and my demons at war
At war
WHICH one will lose depends on what I choose
Or maybe WHICH voice I ignore
Wilderness of mirrors
Streets of cold desire
My precious sense of honor
Just a shield of rusty wire
I hold against the chaos
And the cross of holy fire
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere, anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
Where would you rather be?
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Wilderness of mirrors
So easy to deceive
My precious sense of rightness
Is sometimes so naive
So that WHICH I imagine
Is that WHICH I believe
On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright
Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness
I knew WHICH direction was right
Was right
The case had been tried by the jury inside
The choice between darkness and light
The choice between darkness and light

I've always been the kind of man
Who doesn't believe in strings
Long term obligations are just unnecessary things
But girl, ya got me thinkin'
While I'm drinkin' one more beer
If I'm headed for a heartache
Then why the hell am I still here?
I'm testin' my resistance
And it's wearin' mighty thin
I've got the feelin' I should leave
Before the roof caves in
My mind tells me to move along
But my body begs me to stay
And now I feel the need to hold you close
And love the night away
While you're turnin' me
Every WHICH way but loose
You turn me
Every WHICH way but loose
Inside, the fire's burnin' me
In my mind, you just keep turnin' me
Every WHICH way but loose
Baby, there's no excuse
To turn me every WHICH way but loose
When the sun comes up in the mornin'
It should find me some place new
But right this minute all I want
Is to lay here next to you
Those memories still keep callin' me
From somewhere in my past
Better hurry if they want me
'Cause I can feel me fadin' fast
While you're turnin' me
Every WHICH way but loose
You turn me
Every WHICH way but loose
Inside, the fire's burnin' me
In my mind, you just keep turnin' me
Every WHICH way but loose
Baby, there's no excuse
To turn me every WHICH way but loose

I started a joke
WHICH started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I'd said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I'd said
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah

I looked out the window, seen his bald head
Ran to the fridge and pulled out an egg
Scoped him with my scopes, he had no hair
Launched that shot, and he was caught out there
Saw the convertible driving by
I loaded up the slingshot, let one fly
He went for his to find he didn't have one
Put him in check, correct, with my egg-gun
The egg, a symbol of life
I go inside your house and bust out your wife
I pulled out the jammy, he thought it was a joke
The trigger, I pulled - his face, the yolk
Reached in his pocket, took all his cash
Left my man standing with the egg mustache
Suckers, they come a dime a dozen
"When I say dozen, you know what I'm talkin' about, boy"
Yeah, that's right, I'm the Egg Man
Driving around, king of the town (yeah)
Always got my windows rolled down
Ready to throw
You know, I'm the Egg Man
Once upon a time (Egg Man…)
Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg
He was playing the wall, then he broke his leg
Tossed it out the window, three minutes hot
Hit the Rastaman, he said, (Bloodclot!)
WHICH came first, the chicken or the egg?
I egged the chicken, and then I ate his leg
Riding the trains, in between cars
When I pull out the station, You're Gonna Get Yours
Drive-by eggings, plaguing LA
"Yo, you just got my little cousin, ese!"
Sometimes hard-boiled, sometimes runny (Ray)
Comes from a chicken, not a bunny, dummy
People laugh, it's no joke
My name's "Yauch" and I'm throwing the yolk
Now they got me in a cell, but I don't care
It was then that I got caught catching people out there
Up on the roof, in my car, up all night
I'm going through science like Dolemite
The Mack (Who?)
I'm the Egg Man… Taxi driver?
I'm the Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man
We all dressed in black, we snuck up around the back
We began to attack, the eggs did crack on Haze's back
Sam I Am, down with the program
Green Eggs and Ham, Yosemite Sam
Come Halloween, you know I come strapped
I throw it at a sucker… "k-pap"
You made the mistake and judge a man by his race
You go through life with egg on your face
Woke up in the morning, peculiar feeling
Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling
The family, punk rocks, the businessman
I'll dog everybody with the egg in my hand
It's not like the crack that you put in a pipe
But crack on your forehead; here's a towel, now wipe
Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man...
Egg Man...
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
'Cause, 'cause, 'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites, yeah
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way, yeah
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say, yeah
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry, eh, yeah
Little darling don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Eh, Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah
And then Georgie would make the fire light, I say
A log wood burning through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge, I say
Of which I'll share with you, yeah
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be alright
So No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry, I say
Oh little, oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, eh
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
One more time I've got to say
Oh little, little darling, please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Don't mind my preachin' to you
I said, don't trust 'em, baby, now you know
You don't learn every thing there is to know in school
Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice
I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me now
So be sincere, convince me with a pretty please
LAUGH, LAUGH, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me
LAUGH, LAUGH you met a guy
Who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely
Oh-so lonely
Don't think I'm being funny when I say
You got just what you deserve
I can't help feeling you found out today
You thought you were too good, you got a lot of nerve
Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said
I'm glad he packed up to go
You kept on bragging he was yours instead
Found you don't know every thing there is to know
LAUGH, LAUGH, I thought I'd die

Don't be so smug or else
You'll find you can't get any boy at all
You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf

I never thought that I'd
Cut a record by myself
But I've got something I wanna say
I wanna say it for Cher
And I hope I say it for a lot of people
Why can I be like any guy
Why do they try to make me run
Son of a gun
Now what do they care
About the clothes I wear
Why get their kicks from making fun
Yeah, this world's got a lot of space
And if they don't like my face
It ain't me that's going any where, no
So I don't care
Then LAUGH at me
If that's all fair
I have to beg to be free
Then baby laugh at me
And I'll cry for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll do all the things
That the man upstairs says to do
I'll do them for you
I'll do them
I'll do them all for you
It's gotta start some place
It's gotta start somehow
I'll make that other cheek mine
And maybe the next guy
That don't wear a silk tie
He can walk by and say hi
Say hi, instead of why
Instead of why
Instead of why, baby
Instead of why
What did I do to you
Why, I don't know why
I should LAUGH, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize but I was waiting
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were LAUGHING
'cause you're doin' it to me
(LAUGHING) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(LAUGHING) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were LAUGHING
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were LAUGHING
'cause you're doin' it to me
(LAUGHING) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(LAUGHING) oh, what you doing to me?
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me, oh
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(LAUGHING) ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(LAUGHING) were you LAUGHING at me?
(LAUGHING) were you LAUGHING at me?
oh, what you're doin' to me, girl?
(LAUGHING) I'm-a looking, you're LAUGHING
(LAUGHING) I'm-a looking, you're LAUGHING
(LAUGHING) you're looking, I'm LAUGHING
(LAUGHING)

Put on your Bobbi-sox baby
Roll up your old blue jeans
There's a band playin down at the armory
Know's what rock and roll really means
I want to ride in your '55 T-bird
Drive through some old memories
I ain't after your body baby
I just want you to dance with me
[Chorus]
I want to bop with you baby, all night long
I want to bop the night away
I want to make it night like it used to be
When our hearts were young and our souls were free
I want to bop with you baby, all night long
I want to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I want to bop with you baby all night long
I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord knows I feel a lot older now
But you still look the same to me
Honey, you don't ever LAUGH like you used to
And I don't want to see you blue
If you ain't busy tonight and you think it's alright
This is what I want to do
[Chorus]
Let's twist and shout
Oh, just like in the good old days
Baby, watch out
You know I just can't stand it when you look at me that way
I want to bop with you baby, all night long
I want to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I want to bop with you baby all night
I want to bop with you baby all night long
I want to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I want to make it a night like it used to be
When our hearts were young and our souls were free
I want to bop with you baby all night long
I want to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I want to make it night like it used to be,
When our hearts were young and free

Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Ooh, I hear LAUGHTER in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
After a while we run under a tree (after a while)
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves (there with the beat)
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies
Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to LAUGH, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
And then we lie, beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
And
Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a LAUGH and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em LAUGHIN' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
(C'mon Brian, cheer up)
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing
Always look on the right side of life
Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say
Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life)
There ya are, see
It's the end of the film
Incidentally this record's available in the foyer (Always look on the right side of life)
Some of us got to live as well, you know
(Always look on the right side of life)
Who do you think pays for all this rubbish
(Always look on the right side of life)
They're not gonna make their money back, you know
I told them, I said to him, Bernie, I said they'll never make their money back
(Always look on the right side of life)

(don't be alarmed, the music starts after 11 seconds)
Can you give me solid ground,
cause all my footsteps turn me down,
one by one.
Can you give me free advice,
I don't know if I can,
but I'll try to listen.
And I can blast friendship to hell,
or I can try to make things better.
Believe me that'll make things better.
They change the rules when it's my turn,
so they can laugh and watch me burn.
I can laugh about it,
or I can cry about it.
I should ignore the words you say,
Cause they can hurt,
but won't kill me.
They can hurt,
but won't kill me.
They can hurt but won't kill me. A fist full of the things you love.
Life's a quiz so cough it up.
Go on and cough it up now.
When the future's far away,
it's always better then today.
And everytime I'm having fun,
there's something I'm doing wrong.
And all these warning lights are lit,
but always after you need it.
Yeah well anyway
I can laugh about it,
I'd better try to laugh.
I can cry about it,
You'll never see me cry.
I should ignore the words you say,
they can hurt,
but won't kill me.
They can hurt,
but won't kill me.
They can hurt but won't kill me.
So I can laugh about it,
yeah I'd better try to laugh.
Or I can cry about it.
You know you'll never see me cry.
I should ignore the words you say.
They can hurt,
but won't kill me.
Cause they can hurt,
but won't kill me.
No they won't kill me.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will LAUGH and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Big man, pig man
Ha-ha, charade you are
Woo!
You, well-heeled big wheel
Ha-ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good LAUGH
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying, "Keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a LAUGH
You're nearly a LAUGH, but you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha-ha, charade you are
You, fucked up old hag
Ha-ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good LAUGH
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a handgun
You're nearly a LAUGH
You're nearly a LAUGH, but you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha-ha, charade you are
You, house proud town mouse
Ha-ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You, gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary, you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry
