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!
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had a flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
'Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
And I'll find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it
To someone, yeah

Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Missing you
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's ALMOST driving me wild
And it's my heart that's breakin'
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all (Missing you)
Since you've been gone (Missing you)
Away
I ain't missing you (Missing you)
No matter, what my friends say (Missing you)
Well, there's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breakin'
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all (Missing you)
Since you've been gone (Missing you)
Away
I ain't missing you (Missing you)
No matter what I might say (Missing you)
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all (Missing you)
Since you've been gone (Missing you)
Away
I ain't missing you (Missing you)
No matter what my friends say (Missing you)
Ain't missing you (Missing you)
No way I could lie to myself these days
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all (Missing you)
Since you've been gone (Missing you)
Away
I ain't missing you (Missing you)
No matter what I might say
Ain't missing you (Missing you)
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I could lie to myself
Ain't missing you (Missing you)
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
No way
No matter what my heart might say
I ain't missing you at all

We ALMOST shared a dream
We almost made it as a team
How nice it would have been
We almost touched the stars
And there stood heaven, almost ours
We were just outsiders looking in
We had the chance to fall
But fate stepped in to end it all
Before it could begin
And if it's true, you're really going
There's nothing but goodbye to say
The saddest part of all is knowing
We almost went all the way..
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version - Coca-Cola:]
C O L A cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L O L A Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said little boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I ALMOST fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

By the way she was smiling, with her eyes so beguiling
I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance
She is ALMOST too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way
It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call, are you going to fall?
She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me
What would I do, were I in her place?
When love is new, it's so hard to face
Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer
Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face
She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside

Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah, it's almost gone
Where will we be
When the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
We had some good times
But they're gone
The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone
ALMOST Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

Pariah dogs and wandering madmen
Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
Electrical changes are charging up the young
Ooh, it's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
Ooh, it's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
Ooh, you can ALMOST feel the current flowing
You can ALMOST see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet
Ooh, it's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
Ooh, it's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
Ooh, you can ALMOST feel the current flowing
You can ALMOST see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
You can ALMOST see the circle growing
You can ALMOST feel the planet glowing
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I fly through a crack in the sky
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on

Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table
And then she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was ALMOST persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you
Take me away from here and be my man"
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home
I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close
They'd fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you?
Oh ALMOST paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
ALMOST paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must have read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hand
Oh ALMOST paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
ALMOST paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
And in your arms salvation's not so far away
It's getting closer
Closer every day
ALMOST paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
ALMOST paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Almost Hear You Sigh-Rolling Stones
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without ya
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't believe you're gone
And you acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with these memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothing
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

Is this the REAL life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
No, we will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is REAL
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know, I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever

He's a REAL nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all
'Til somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl, there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable, someday
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride this serpent
No more time spent, sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stick around
But baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday, I'll treat you REAL fine
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry while I'm squeezin' them dry?
Talkin' all I can get, no regrets
When I, openly lie
And live on their money
Believe me honey
That money, can you believe?
I ain't no saint, no complaints
So girl, throw out any doubt
And baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday, I'll treat you REAL fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
Don't push me
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
It's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
And I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)
You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
I'll do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want)

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's REAL or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him
Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But, oh, how it feels so REAL
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Oh, how it feels so REAL
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
You know my love will not fade away
Not fade away
My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show you but you drive me back
Your love for me has got to be REAL
You're gonna know just how I feel
Love's real, not fade away
Not fade away

Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
There's a meaning there, but the meaning there doesn't really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing, come and see the real thing, come and see
I am the real thing!

Wait - Wait - I never had a chance to love you
Now I only wanna say I love you one more time
Wait - just a moment before our love will die
'Cause I - must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait - just a moment and tell me why
Cause I - can show you lovin' that you won't deny
Wait - and show your lovin' like it was before
Cause I - won't let that feelin' walk out through the door
I said wait - just a moment and try once more
'Cause babe - I need to hold you like I did before
So if you go away - I know that I will follow
'Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out

Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you.
But what I gotta say can't WAIT,
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.
Every time I'm near you,
I just run out of things to say.
I know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
Every time the time was right,
All the words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it's kinda late.
Hope I didn't wake you,
But there's something I just gotta say.
Know you'd understand.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it takin' such a long time)
Oh, yeah (for me to hear from that boy of mine?)
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I've been standin' here waiting, Mr. Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it takin' such a long time)
Oh, yeah (for me to hear from that boy of mine?)
So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it takin' such a long time?)
Why don't you check it and see one more time for me?
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh, Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
C'mon, deliver the letter, the sooner, the better, ah
Mr. Postman

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
WAIT, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty
Supposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life or his, and
I'm not afraid of death, but, oh
What shall I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along (wait along), wait along
Wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
Mumford & Sons
Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun
But I'll kneel down wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So break my step
And relent
Well you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind, freed from the lies
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Sunday Girl - BLONDIE

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and WAIT
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
Hurry up
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues
Please
Please
Please come see what you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up
Please come see what you do to me

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey
WAIT
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
WAIT
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
WAIT
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of Your Highness, I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey
WAIT
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice
You've got me captured, I'm under your spell
I guess I'll never learn
I have your picture, yes, I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile, and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
I'll WAIT 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I wrote a letter and told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard
Her eyes don't follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography!
I'll WAIT 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
You can't imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greets everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile, and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
I'll WAIT 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I'll WAIT 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
Jimi Hendrix
Well, I'm standing here, freezing inside your golden garden
I got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on, Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
Hey, yeah, hey (I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)
Girl, what you're talkin' 'bout?
(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow) yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to make sure it's right, so until tomorrow, goodnight
Oh, what a drag
Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way?
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned-down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep tellin' me that, ah
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
What are you talkin' 'bout?
(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow)
No, can't wait that long
(I think we better wait 'til tomorrow) oh no
Gotta make sure it's right until tomorrow, goodnight, oh no
Let's see if I can talk to this girl a little bit here
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say as I fade away
We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow (hey!)
We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow (what you say?)
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
It must have been right, so forever, goodnight, listen at you
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Ah! Do I have to wait? Don't have to wait?
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
It's a drag on my part
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, uh, hmm! Oh, no!
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, don't have to wait, yeah!
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, don't have to wait
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow) oh, no
I won't be around tomorrow, yeah!
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Don't have to wait
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Goodbye, bye, bye!
(We don't have to wait 'til tomorrow)
Oh, what a mix up
Oh, you gotta be crazy, hey, ow!
Don't have to wait 'til tomorrow

Ah, ah ah ah ah, ah
I was fine before I met you
I was broken but fine
I was lost and uncertain
But my heart was still mine

(Let's dance) put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(Let's dance) to the song they're playing on the radio
(Let's sway) while colour lights up your face
(Let's sway) sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms and tremble like a flower
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance) for fear your grace should fall
(Let's dance) for fear tonight is all
(Let's sway) you could look into my eyes
(Let's sway) under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two

They're pickin' up the prisoners and puttin' 'em in a pen
And all she wants to do is DANCE, DANCE
Rebels been rebels since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is DANCE
Molotov cocktail - the local drink
And all she wants to do is DANCE, DANCE
Mix em up right, in the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is DANCE....
Crazy people walkin' round with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is DANCE, DANCE
Wild-eyed pistol wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is DANCE and make romance
She can't feel the heat comin' off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is DANCE
Well, the government bugged the men's room in the local disco lounge
And all she wants to do is DANCE, DANCE
To keep the boys from sellin' all the weapons they could scrounge
And all she wants to do is DANCE
But that don't keep the boys from makin' a buck or two
And all she wants to do is DANCE, DANCE
They still can sell the army all the drugs that they can do
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is DANCE and make romance
Well we barely made the airport for the last plane out
As we taxied down the runway I could hear the people shout
They said "Don't come back here Yankee"
But if I ever do
I'll bring more money
'Cause all she wants to do is DANCE and make romance
Never mind the heat comin' off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is DANCE
All she wants to do is DANCE and make romance
All she wants to do is DANCE

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
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody ooo, somebody ooo
Somebody who loves me yeah
Somebody ooo, somebody ooo
To hold me in his arms oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna DANCE with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna DANCE with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Don't ya wanna DANCE with me baby
Don't ya wanna DANCE with me boy
Hey don't ya wanna DANCE with me baby
With somebody who loves me
Don't ya wanna DANCE, say you wanna dance, don't ya wanna dance
Don't ya wanna DANCE, say you wanna dance, don't ya wanna dance
Don't ya wanna DANCE , say you wanna dance
With somebody who loves me

You can dance
Every dance with the guy who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the man who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm

Go and have your fun (yes, I know, oh, I know)

And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm (save the last dance for me)
Baby, don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much
You can dance (you can dance)
Go and carry on 'til the night is gone, and it's time to go (you can dance)

If you're all alone (you can dance)
Can he take you home? (you can dance)
You must tell him no (you can dance)

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I

Old friends
Old friends
Sat on their park bench like bookends
A newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends
Old friends
Winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders of the old friends
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear
A TIME it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you
TIME has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
TIME has come today
(Hey)
Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I'm thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
Now the TIME has come (TIME)
There's no place to run (TIME)
I might get burned up by the sun (TIME)
But I had my fun (TIME)
I've been loved and put aside (TIME)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (TIME)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (TIME)

Oh
Now the TIME has come (TIME)
There's no place to run (TIME)
I might get burned up by the sun (TIME)
But I had my fun (TIME)
I've been loved and put aside (TIME)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (TIME)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (TIME)
Now the time has come (TIME)
There are things to realize (TIME)
TIME has come today (TIME)
TIME has come today (TIME)

It's gonna take some TIME this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin' out to me (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time
And I'll find some harmony
But it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
But, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
I'll learn how to bend
It's going to take some time this time
No matter what I've planned
But like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after...
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said, "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is TIME to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the TIME
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The TIME is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
And I served on the Danville train
Till Stoneman′s cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
It′s a time I remember, oh so well
chorus
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la..."
verse
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see,
There goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now, I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money′s no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best
chorus
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la..."
verse
Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother above me
Who took a rebel stand
He was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can′t raise a Kane back up
When he's in defeat
chorus
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la..."
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la..."

This is no time for a no show
This is no way to end the night
I am victim to the feeling
And the feeling is not right
This is no time for my confidence
To leave me here alone
There is no way explanations can explain
This is no time
Oh no time
No time to be let down
To be let down
Oh no girl
I tell you this is no time
Well baby this is no time
Oh no time
No time to be let down
To be let down
Let down
I tell you this is no time

There are some things that a woman
Can in no way understand
So you comfort and you kiss
And hold the helpless hand
This is no time for my confidence
To leave me here alone
There is no way explanations can explain
This is no time
Oh no time
No time to be let down
To be let down
Oh no girl
I tell you this is no time
Well baby this is no time
Oh no time
No time to be let down
To be let down
Let down
I tell you this is no time
