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!
John Martyn
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
Are you mean like a sweet and crazy brother to me
You know I love you like I should
And you never talk dirty behind my back
Know that there's ways who would
Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you, please won't
You bear it in mind, just for me.
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
Are you're just like a sweet and simple sister to me
You know I love you like I should
You hold no blade to stab me in my back
You know that there's some of them that would
Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you,
Please won't you bear it in mind for me.
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
Are you mean like a sweet, crazy brother to me
I try to love you like I should
And you hold an old blade to stab me in my heart
And I know that there's some of them that would
Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
And please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind for me.
And may you never lose your temper
If you get in a bar room fight
May you never lose your lover overnight
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
May you never lay your head down
MAY the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And MAY sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And MAY you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart, you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
MAY good fortune be with you
MAY your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to Heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And MAY you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Yeah
And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
For-Forever young, forever young
Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes down the stairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free
She,... (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrified most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years
Friday morning, at nine o'clock
She is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Greeting a man from the Motortrade
She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is Having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside, that was always denied,
for so many years,.
She's leaving home
Oh, in a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself
To treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to who-ever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people saying
"My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to
Well, who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
You might also like
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much
As a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Oh, if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried
When my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand
Why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Barefoot and on the run
(Five dumped in a river)
I am "Mad from Scandinavia"
I want a guy in the London area
He must be crazy and Sagittarius
'Cause I am Leo and I'm hilarious
Which gives me

And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will, yeah
Oh, but I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, yeah
And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
And my ties are severed clean
Less I have, the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
Yeah, you will
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I roam

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, I swear
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam, yeah, yeah
Wherever I may roam

Five minutes alone - Pantera
Overview
Lyrics
Yeah!
I see you had your mind made up
You group of pitiful liars
Before I woke to face the day
Your master plan transpired
Something told me this job
Had more to meet the eye
My song is not believed?
My words, somewhat deceiving?
Now I'm unwhole
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave the scar
You cry for compensation
I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give us
Five minutes alone
I read your eyes
Your mind was made up
You took me for a fool
You used complexion
Of my skin for a counter
Racist tool
You can't burn me
I've spilled my guts
Out in the past
Taken advantage of because
You know where I've come from
My past
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave the scar
You cry for compensation
I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give us
Five minutes alone
And punch the broken glass
Five minutes alone
I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give us
Five minutes alone
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us

Five magics -Megadeth
Bestow upon me knowledge
Wizard, all knowing, all wise
I want to rule this kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled
Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the gray robed monks
The vestal virgins, wheel the wyverns in
Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of five magics
Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please
Master all of these, bring him to his knees
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment
Possessed with hellish torment
I master magics five
I master magics five
Hunting the abyss lord
Hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive
Only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword
He who lives by the sword
Will surely also die
Will surely also die
He who lives in sin
He who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, 9 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
and I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(Ooh) 'til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
(Ooh) I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no (ah)

Rocket man burnin' out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all the science, I don't understand
It's just my job FIVE days a week

Twenty FIVE tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine

Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

Little Feat
I been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
And I'm still... willin'
And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice
I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin'... to be movin'
Well, I've been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in
But I'm still on my feet
And I'm still... willin'
I smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still...
And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin'... to be movin'
And the SIGN says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you"
SIGNS, SIGNS, everywhere there's SIGNS
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the SIGN
And the SIGN says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner
SIGNS, SIGNS, everywhere there's SIGNS
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the SIGN
Oh, say now mister, can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here
And the SIGN says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" - uh!
[Solo]
And the SIGN says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' SIGN
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", oh
SIGND, SIGNS, everywhere there's SIGNS
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the SIGN
SIGNS, SIGNS, everywhere there's SIGNS
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the SIGN
Yes! Some old song, called "SIGNS SIGNS", I wish we did write that one, but
We didn't - wow!

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

Alright
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

Find me out walkin'
Time the whistle, start a-calling
Maybe stoppin' early
Knockin' at your door
Take so long to answer
Lord knows, it ain't the milkman
Could be stoppin' early
Sellin' door to door
Here's my latest sample
I can show you how to use it
First, you pull the curtain
While I spread some here
Wipe the surface gently
Try to use a circle motion
Safe for all your problems
And my price is fair
This stuff'll get the stain out
If you use it loosely-waded
This here'll take the pain out
And won't mess your hair
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you SIGN right here?
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you SIGN right here?
The man is on the last train
All that work and no play
Could be stoppin' early
Knockin' at your door
Time for me to head on
Pack my kit and so long
Catch you bright and early
Sellin' door to door
This stuff'll get the stain out
If you use it loosely-waded
This here'll take the pain out
And won't mess your hair
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you SIGN right here?
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you SIGN right here?
C'mon, and place your order early
You know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you, won't you, won't you, won't you, won't you?
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbour's in her doorway
Won't you? C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Place your order early
'Cause you know I'm in a hurry
If there isn't light when no one sees
Then how can I know what you might believe?
A story told that can't be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah
Fade away, fade away
Vanish into smoke
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball, oh
It's the sign
Feels like the time
On a small world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, oh
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain sound
Then the beast is free to wander
But never is seen around
And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Alright, sail away
To the sign, oh
From the book, the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach above your dreams of pleasure
Give a life to those who died
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of signs
And it's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Fade away, fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away, fade away
I can't accept it anymore
Oh, on a real world, west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, oh
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer
When the summer falls
From the book, the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
It's the sign of the southern cross
It's the sign of the southern cross
Don't live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away
Eight miles high, about to fall
And no one there to catch you
Look for the sign, the time
The sign of the southern cross, yeah
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your mama told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger? Yeah
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin
I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
It's just a SIGN of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still, he who laughs last
Is just a hand in the bush
So now that it's over, can't we just say goodbye? (Bye, bye, goodbye)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love, I think I'm falling here
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
No more tears
Is just a hand in the bush

Sign your name - Terence Trent D’Arby
Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is much too late to turn away
We started out as friends
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your **** cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell
With you baby than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is done
Oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain
All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love
Hey
Sign your name across my heart (sign your name)
I want you to be my baby (be my baby)
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
(Sign your name, sign your name)
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Sign you name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my hear

All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might loved me
And I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life runnin' 'round
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a SIGN
And take it to the limit
One more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit (please)
Take it to the limit (come on)
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit (please)
Take it to the limit (we gotta)
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit (please)
Take it to the limit (come on)
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit...

I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July
Personnel man, he questioned me until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer
"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, "Four"
"Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be"
"We only take on men who work until they die"
"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
"This is where we bury them, in quick-stone and in lime"
"And if you come to work for us, on this you must agree
That if you're going to die, please, do it during tea break"
"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"
This story that you heard you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear
I did not want no job upon the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor
"Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane"
"And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years"

I'm an ever rolling wheel
Without a destination real
And I'm an ever SPINNING top
Whirling around 'till I drop
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you
I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
When I feel that way
You know my soul's at stake
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you
I'm strung out over you( I need you baby)
Uuh, I need (I need you baby)
Call me (I need you baby)
I need baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby girl

Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you
With fellas hanging 'round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playing hard to get
I'm going around in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you
And I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me
And kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's you girl making it spin
You're making me dizzy
You're making me dizzy
I'm so dizzy
You're making me dizzy
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin' wheel spin
Ya got no money and yeah, ya got no home
Spinnin' wheel, all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and ya, ya never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did ya find the directing sign
On the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign?
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waitin' just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinnin' wheel ride
Someone's waitin' just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin' wheel fly

Day after day, alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world SPINNING around
Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round (oh oh oh)
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And he never listens to them, he knows that they're the fools
They don't like him
The fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round
Oh ('round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
Oh
