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

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just...
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room, yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just want to be a woman
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look
From our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just want to be a woman
It's all I wanna be, is all a woman
For this is the beginning
Of forever and ever
It's time to move over
It's all I want to be
I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just...
Give me a reason to love you

Mama's got a squeeze BOX
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

In a little cabaret
In a south Texas boarder town
Sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came from all around
And all the girls
From there to Austin
Were slippin' away from home
And puttin' jewelry in hock to take the trip
To go and listen
To the little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Well he couldn't ride or wrangle
And he never cared to make it dime
But give him his guitar
And he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls
From nine to ninety
Were snappin' fingers
Tappin' toes
And beggin' him don't stop
And hypnotized
And fascinated
By the little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Then one day he was gone
And no one ever saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze
They forgot him in the little town
But all the girls
Still dreamed about him
And hung around
The caberet until the doors were locked
And then one day
On the hit parade
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the
Tennessee flat top box
And he would play

Stop – don’t say you’ll put me down
Love – don’t go away
Drop my feet back on the ground
Open your arms, let me stay
Hold me like you know you should
Don’t leave me on the shelf
Like a doll you throw away
So sad and lonely all by myself
I’m just your Jack-in-the-BOX
You know whenever love knocks
I’m gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I’m just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I’d do anything
Who just keeps my heart around?
Loves to pull the strings?
You – and when it’s upside down
Look at the way that it swings
I can’t help the way I feel
It’s you and no one else
Comes the tune, but all too soon
I’m just a doll put back on the shelf
I’m just your Jack-in-the-Box
You know whenever love knocks
I’m gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I’m just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I’d do anything
Lalalala lalala… lalalala lalala…
Lalala lalalala lalala…
Lalalala lalala… lalalala lalala…
Lalala lalalala lalala…
Hey, hear what I say
You’ll find someday that I walked away from you
So say I’ve got to stay
And from today it’s love that’s gonna break through
I’m just your Jack-in-the-Box
You know whenever love knocks
I’m gonna bounce up and down on my spring
A toy used up when it stops
I’m just your Jack-in-the-Box
Because for your love I’d do anything

Ah, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by 12 four-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
Third Box car, midnight train

Old worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke, old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road

All of the children and all of their names
Every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked when no one's around

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top
And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero
He took one guitar, juke BOX hero, stars in his eyes
Juke BOX hero, he'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight
Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke BOX hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke BOX hero, he's got stars in his eyes

She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore
But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before
And I felt like a peasant who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans
I asked her what's a woman like you doin' here
I see you're used to champagne, but I'll buy you a beer
She said, "You've got me figured out but I'm not what I seem
And for a dance I'll tell you 'bout these tight fittin' jeans"
She said, "I married money, I'm use to wearin' pearls
But I've always dreamed of bein' just a good ol' boy's girl
So tonight I left those crystal candle lights to live a dream
And partner, there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans"
We danced every dance and Lord, the beer that we went through
I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans
In my mind she's still a lady, that's all I'm gonna say
I knew that I'd been broken by the time we parted way
And I know I held more woman than most eyes have ever seen
That night I knew a lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans
Well, now she's back in her world and I'm still stuck in mine
But I know I'll always remember the time
A cowboy once had a millionaire's dream
And Lord, I love that lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she WEARS short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me
Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought, just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me

I WEAR my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave, then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes
While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security
Has she got control of me?
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh-no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh-no
I can't believe it
'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh-no
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes
While she's deceiving me
She cuts my security
She got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on a guy in shades, oh-no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh-no
I can't believe it
'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh-no
She's deceiving me
It cuts my security
Has she got control of me?
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh-no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh-no
I can't believe it
Don't be afraid of the guy in shades, oh-no
It kinda scared you
'Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh-no
Oh, no
I say, I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I say it to you now

Geeze he said, the bands don’t seem to play round here no more,
And Saturday night just ain’t the same,
Wish everything was back the way it used to be before;
Now I sit here and push my long hair back behind my ears,
The face I used to hide behind, is now becoming ghostly with the years.
CHORUS:
Goodbye Tiger –
Chasing those dolce vita times,
Somehow you seem to have left me far behind,
But you can hear me whisper on the nightline:
“Goodbye Tiger”
I keep shifting round – I wear the dust of many foreign streets,
Drifting and shifting with the wind,
Now this same wind is howling like a cyclone here inside,
And I see I’ve got nothing left to hide –
Nobody’s gonna take the stage tonight,
But I’ll sit here anyway, and sigh:
CHORUS:

I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s
And a dope Beastie tee, nipple rings, new tattoos
That claimed that he was OGT
Back from '92, from the first EP
And in between sips of Coke, he told me
That he thought we were selling out
Layin' down, suckin' up to the man
Well now, I've got some advice for you, little buddy
Before you point the finger, you should know that I'm the man
I'm the man, and you're the man, and he's the man as well
So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass
All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb fuck
I sold out long before you'd ever heard my name
I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit
And then you bought one
I've got some bad advice for you, little buddy
Before you point your finger, you should know that I'm the man
If I'm the fuckin' man, then you're the fuckin' man as well
So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass
All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb fuck
I sold out long before you'd ever heard my name
I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit
And then you bought one
All you read and wear or see and hear on TV
Is a product begging for your fat-ass, dirty dollar
Shut up and buy, buy, buy my new record
And buy, buy, buy, send more money
Fuck you, buddy
Fuck you, buddy
Fuck you, buddy
Fuck you, buddy

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God, I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God, I'm a country boy
When the work's all done, and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle, and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep, so I keep it kinda low
And thank God, I'm a country boy
I'd play "Sally Goodin" all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
And thank God, I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God, I'm a country boy, whoo hoo!
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God, I'm a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a-mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God, I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God, I'm a country boy, yes sir!
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
And he took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said, "Live a good life, play the fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy"
Well my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
And thank God, I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Whoo! Thank God, I'm a country boy, yeah!

I remember wearin' straight leg Levi's
Flannel shirts
Even when they weren't in style
I remember singin' with Roy Rogers
At the movies
When the west was really wild
And I was listenin' to the Opry
When all of my friends
Were diggin' rock 'n roll
And rhythm & blues
I was country
When country wasn't cool
I remember circlin' the drive-in
Pullin' up
And turnin' down George Jones
I remember when no one was lookin'
I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke
I took a lot of kiddin'
'Cause I never did fit in
Now look at everybody
Tryin' to be what I was then
I was country
When country wasn't cool
Oooh
I was country
When country wasn't cool
I was country
From my hat down to my boots
I still act and look the same
What you see ain't nothin' new
I was country
When country wasn't cool
They call us country bumpkins
For stickin' to our roots
I'm just glad we're in a country
Where we're all free to choose
I was country
When country wasn't cool
Hey, I was country
When country wasn't cool
Yeah, I was country
From my hat down to (whoa) my boots
I still act and look the same
What you see ain't nothin' new
Yeah, I was country
When country wasn't cool

I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play
No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home, man
Long as I've got mine
Slim Dusty
They say, "Our music's having a revival."
They say, "That country's on the climb;"
But I say, "What the hell are they talkin' about,
The country has been here all the time."
There's a lot more people now admitting
They like country music after all
Now there's dollar signs along side country music
It's cowboy boots and hats for one and all.
They say that country's middle of the road now
They say they've had enough of all this noise
I suppose the music wheel has turned full circle
Our ballads and our stories now enjoyed.
They say, "Our music's having a revival."
They say, "That country's on the climb;"
But I say, "What the hell are they talkin' about,
The country has been here all the time."
When rock 'n' roll came out and just took over,
A lot of music just went underground,
Then somehow rock got tangled up with country,
'Cause country music added to the sound.
Oh they're singing songs they've only just discovered,
Just hear them talk about their brand new sounds,
But there's nothing new about the songs we're singing,
It's just that country music's come to town.
They say, "Our music's having a revival."
They say, "That country's on the climb."
But I say, "What the hell are they talking about
The country has been here all the time, sure it has
The country has been here all the time."

Paul Kelly
Like my brother before me
Im a tent boxing man
Like our daddy before us
Travelling all around Gippsland
I woke up one cold morning
Many miles from Fitzroy
And slowly It came dawning
By Billy Leach I was employed
Rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Every day every night boys
Rally round the drum
Hoisting tent-pole and tarpaulin
Billy says now beat the drum
Rings out across the showground
And all the country people come
Then Billy starts a-calling
Step right up Step right up one and all
Is there anybody game here
To take on kid snowball
Sometimes i fight a gee-man
Yeah we put on a show
Soemtimes I fight a hard man
Who wants to lay me low
Sometimes I get tired
But I don't ever grouse
I've gopt to keep on fighting
Five dollars every house
Like my daddy before me
I stand up and knock em down
Like my brother before me
I'm weaving in your town
Yeah Rally round the drum boys
Rally round the drum
Got to keep on fighting
Rally round the drum

[Verse 1]
ROUND like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 2]
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 3]
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway or the fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over, you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the colour of her hair
[Outro]
A circle in a spiral, a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning on an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
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

Sundown, all around
Walking through the summer's end
Waves crash baby, don't look back
I won't walk away again
Oh, Oh, Oh, baby, anywhere you go
We are bound together
I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever
Circle in the sand
ROUND and round
Never ending love is what we've found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand
Cold wind, tide moves in
Shivers in the salty air
Day breaks, my heart aches
I will wait for you right here
Oh, Oh, Oh baby when you look for me
Can you see forever?
I begin baby, where you end
We belong together
Circle in the sand
Round and round
Rising of the moon as the sun goes down
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand
Baby can you hear me?
Can you hear me calling?
Whoa, Oh, Oh, baby, anywhere you go
We are bound together
And I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever
Circle in the sand
Round and round
Never ending love is what we've found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand

Turn around every way, looking back another day
The race is on, I'm out to win, before I start I must begin
Here we go ROUND in circles to nowhere
Mulberry bush just won't let me see
If I am lonely when I arrive there
Mulberry bush, will you shelter me when I am naked and cold?
Yet no one must see, oh they're looking at me
When I am straight I feel that my world is real
With people running round and round, bringing one another down
People running round and round, bringing one another down
Turn around every way, looking back another day
The race is on, I'm out to win, before I start I must begin
Here we go round, I'm looking for someone
Mulberry bush is calling to me
Red lights and green ones, I can't be nervous
Mulberry bush, your bright eyes I see
Here we go round in circle to nowhere
Mulberry bush just won't let me see
If I am lonely when I arrive there
Mulberry bush, will you shelter me?
Aerosmith
If you believe in me
Like I believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly true
Now everything changes
Ain't got nothing to say
I'm getting the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name
'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
And 'round and 'round
When it was one for all
And it was all for one
And everything that we did
Never bothered no one
Look here, now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm getting the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember the name
'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And always followed the ways
Of someone else's dream?
Look here, now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name
I'm goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tighten up belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said
I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart
'ROUND and 'ROUND, we'll all find a way, just give it time
'ROUND and 'ROUND, what comes around goes around, I'll tell you why
Dig, looking at you, looking at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon lights are on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo and Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

With her high heel against the wall
Kind of dancing, though not at all
She had stockings running up to her thighs
Snaps her fingers to keep the time
From the back of the room I saw her there
I said she wants to be alone and I shouldn't dare
But then she noticed me glance at her
I had no choice but to dance with her
[Chorus]
The lights that move sideways and up and down
The beat takes you over and spins you ROUND
Our hearts steady-beating, the sweat turns to cold
We're slaves to the DJ and out of control
I watched her feet move, her hips they sway
Does a hair flip then starts to say
Oh, my God, it's my favorite song
I pull her close and she sings along
We can't slow down even if we tried
If the record keeps spinning so will I
She likes disco and tastes like a tear
Tells me don't stop dancing and she's pulling me near
[Chorus]
We've got nowhere to go, we've got nothing to prove
Instead of dancing alone, I should be dancing with you
This song is turning me on, the beat is doing me in
Or maybe it's only you, but either way, lets begin
bella! has usually posted by now so I have stepped in just in case.

Said farewell to my last hotel, it never was much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down when I was heading out on the road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty, and the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, I wanna make this journey last
Helen (Helen)
Hell on WHEELS
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
M6 south down Liverpool, where they play the west coast sound
Sailor Sam, he came from Birmingham, but he never will be found
Doin' fine when a London sign greets me like a long lost friend
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's gotta take me back again
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
Got no time for a rum and lime, I wanna get my right foot down (get my right foot down)
Shake some dust off of this old bus, I gotta get her out of town (get her out of town)
Spend the day upon the motorway, where the carburetors blast (carburetors blast)
Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, I wanna make this journey last
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen (Helen)
Hell on wheels
And they're never gonna take her away
Say bye-bye!
(Bye-bye!)

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big WHEEL keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big WHEEL keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big WHEEL keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a WHEEL within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
WHEELS on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate my lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh, so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
Wheels on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call out
Then to give you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
They all begin to look like movie stars
All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallen angels of the back street bars
If I could rate 'em on a scale from one to ten
I'm lookin' for a nine, but eight could work right in
A few more drinks and I might slip to a five or even four
But when tomorrow mornin' comes
And I wake up with a number one
I swear I'll never do it anymore
All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
They all begin to look like movie stars
All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallen angels of the back street bars
I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
'Cause I know Robert Redford even overhauls
An' we all picture in our minds a girl that looks just right
Now ain't it funny, ain't it strange
How a man's opinion change
When he starts to face that lonely night
All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
They all begin to look like movie stars
All the girls all get prettier at closin' time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallen angels of the back street bars
The fallen angels of those backstreet bars

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom, some
Some boys are tryin' too hard, he don't try at all though
Younger than my exes, but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin' sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist, and
We'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every love I've known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know (No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Oh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games BEGIN
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night (Night), in my dreams (My dreams)
You should see the things we do (We do), baby (Baby), hmm (Eh)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (My dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you (I know I'm gonna be with you)
So I take my time
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin

If you find your sweetheart in the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches BEGIN
When dreams of a lifetime must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin
Love is a thing you never can share
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend, brother
That's, that's when your heartaches begin

When all your dreams of a lifetime must
Must all come to an end

Just like a rolling stone
I'm outside looking in
But if your chance came would you take it
Where on earth do I BEGIN?
I'm Mandy fly me
I've often heard her jingle
It's never struck a chord
With a smile as bright as sunshine
She called me through the poster
And welcomed me aboard
She led me she fed me
She read me like a book
But I'm hiding in the small print
Won't you take another look?
And take me away
Try me Mandy fly me away
The world was spinning like a ball
And then it wasn't there at all
And as my heart began to fall
I saw her walking on the water
As the sharks were coming for me
I felt Mandy pull me up give me the kiss of life
Just like the girl in Dr. No, No, No, No
Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage
And her body couldn't be found
Was it in my mind it seems
I had a crazy dream?
I told them so
But they said no, no, no, no
I found me on a street
And starin' at a wall
If it hadn't have been for Mandy
Her promise up above me
Well I wouldn't be here at all
So if you're travellin' in the sky
Don't be surprised if someone said: "Hi"
I'm Mandy fly me

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution’s end
Never will it mend
Never
Fire
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore
Never
Fire
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blackened
Opposition... contradiction... premonition... compromise
Agitation... violation... mutilation... planet dies
Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination... expiration... cancellation... human race
Expectation... liberation... population... lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die
Smoldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun
Never
Fire
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To BEGIN whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

When they begin the beguine
it brings back the sound of music so tender,
it brings back a night of tropical splendor,
it brings back a memory ever green.
I'm with you once more under the stars,
and down by the shore an orchestra's playing
and even the palms seem to be swaying
when they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavor,
except when that tune clutches my heart,
and there we are, swearing to love forever,
and promising never, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
and now when i hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
i know but too well what they mean;
So don't let them begin the beguine
let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
let it sleep like the dead desire i only remember
when they begin the beguine.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
till the stars that were there before return above you,
till you whisper to me once more,
"darling, i love you!"
and we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
when they begin the beguine
