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!
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!

Born under a bad SIGN

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"

Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here?
Oh, baby, baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because
My loneliness
Is killing me and I
I must confess
I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me, baby, one more time
Oh, baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy, you got me blinded
Oh, pretty baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
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

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)

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)

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

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)

Giddy up look at him look at him go
Stay Away Joe they call me
Stay Away Joe, oh yeah
But if you need me call me
Hoop and a holler and I'll be there
Hey
I know there's nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad, when times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
I know I got nothing on you
I know there's nothing to do
When times go bad
You can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
Do it
One thing I think you should know
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
Been down so long
I've been tossed around enough
Oh, couldn't you just let me go down and do my stuff?
I know you're hoping to find
Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind
When times go bad, when times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
Do it
Do it, do it, do it
I'm just second hand news

But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part

Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me

So, if you feel like givin' me

Maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules

I don't want half-hearted love affairs,
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself, I won't do that again.
refrain:
(It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it, yea
Too many people take SECOND best,
but I won't take anything less,
it's got to be perfect.)
Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
they're much too eager to give their love away
well i have been foolish too many times
now i'm determined I'm going to get it right

There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen sink is leaking
Out of work and got no money
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the SECOND floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in
We are strictly second class
And we don't understand
(Dead end!)
Why we should be on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are living on dead end street
(Dead end!)
I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
On a cold and frosty morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
And my feet are nearly frozen
Boil the tea and put some toast on
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No chance to emigrate
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
We both want to work so hard
We can't get the chance
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a SECOND-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a SECOND-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a SECOND-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a SECOND-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love?
Got to do it
Got to do it
What's love?

… I would have given you
Anything that you wanted
I would have taken you
Anywhere you wanted to go
I would have answered you
Any question that you asked me
I would have told you
Anything you wanted to know
… We used to live
Like there was gonna be no tomorrow
As if a new day
Wasn't gonna begin
But the light in your eyes
Has gone and said good bye
And I don't wanna be
Your SECOND violin
… The little things you did
I still keep them in my memory
And little things you said
I still keep them in my mind
The times we had were good
And we never had a problem
Times that we're leaving
So very very far behind
… We used to live
Like there was gonna be no tomorrow
As if a new day
Wasn't gonna begin
But the time is moving on
And that magic is all gone
And I don't wanna be
Your second violin
… We used to live

Spare a little candle, save some light for me
Figures up ahead, movin' in the trees
White skin in linen, perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand
I search for the time on a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly, come closer than this
But all I remember are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every SECOND of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away (the further I'm away)
Is it cloak and dagger? Could it be spring or fall?
I walk without a cut through a stained glass wall
(Weaker in my eyesight)
Weaker in my eyesight, the candle in my grip
(Words that have no form)
And words that have no form are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every SECOND of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away (the further I'm away)
There's something out there I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence that I've ever heard
Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes, freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face from dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every SECOND of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes (every SECOND)
Every SECOND of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake...

Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Came home one morning about quarter to three
I'm banging on my door cause I just lost my key
Open up, baby, you got someone else inside
I'm going to come get you dead or alive
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
I took her out dancing but she drank away my cash
She said, "I'm going to fix my face don't you worry I'll be back"
I'm looking for her high and low like a mustard for a ham
She was crashed out in the bathroom
In the arms of my best friend
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Then one day she left me
She took everything that moved
My car, she took my trailer home
She took my Sunday boots
My nose is on her trail
I'm going to catch her by surprise
Then I'm going to have the pleasure
To roast that child alive
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Melody, it was her second name
Frank Sinatra
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
It makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm, oh, so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm very glad we met the second time around

Bad Suns
Man walking a tightrope
Girl and her high hopes
Fall from the sky
Change of plans
Riding a cyclone
Dodging a headstone
I want what's mine
Right then the walls came falling
A voice came calling
The night it rained in LA
Mirror, ask me why
I don't act surprised
I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way
Smoke smothers a hillside
Blind in my mind's eye
My city's on fire
One more joke
Lacking a punchline
Realized sci-fi
I'm in denial
Right then the walls came falling
A voice came calling
The night it rained in your eyes
Mirror, ask me why
I don't act surprised
I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way
We go on about nothing
Just to talk about something
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates
I'm on my way
One magic moment
Don't be late
I'm on my way
Salvation
My revelation
Arrives on vanity plates

When I was small
And Christmas trees were tall
We used to laugh while others used to play
Don't ask me why
But time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away
Now we are tall
And Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I
Our love will never die
To kiss and cry, "Come, first of May"
The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the MOMENT of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
Now we are tall
And Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I
Our love will never die
To kiss and cry, "Come, first of May"
When I was small
And Christmas trees were tall
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Don't ask me why
But time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

This magic moment, so different and so new
But like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too by the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Would last forever
Forever 'til the end of time (magic)
Oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh (magic)
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine would last forever
Forever 'til the end of time (magic)
Oh-oh-oh (magic)

Ah, ah
Uh, yeah
Baby, ooh, yeah
We've been playing games with our emotions
Let's get what we feel out in the open
Wanting you is all I do
Boy, I know you want me too
Don't you think it's time we proved
What we've been feeling?
This is our MOMENT of truth
Either we win or we lose
This love
Let's trust the way that we feel
We'll know if love is for real
Soon enough
Let out your feelings tonight
'Cause, oh, I know that I want you
It's all up to me and you
And the moment of truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Far too many times, a heart gets broken
Just because three words are never spoken
We can't let that bother us
Not when we're so much in love
I could never get enough of saying I love you
This is our moment of truth
Either we win or we lose
This love
Let's trust the way that we feel
We'll know if love is for real
Soon enough
Let out your feelings tonight

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
And did you ever think?
That we could be so close?
Like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the MOMENT
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
(Mmmmmmm)
Walking down the street
And distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
And down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me (take me) to the magic of the MOMENT
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the MOMENT
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)
The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to sing (sing)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the MOMENT
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the MOMENT
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)

Magic MOMENTS, when two hearts are carin'
Magic moments, memories we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment we kissed
The night of the hay ride
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm
While takin' a sleigh ride
Magic moments, memories we've been sharin'
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin'
Time can't erase the memory of
These magic moments filled with love
The telephone call that tied up the line
For hours and hours
The Saturday dance I got up the nerve
To send you some flowers
Magic moments, memories we've been sharin'
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin'
Time can't erase the memory of
These magic moments filled with love
The way that we cheered whenever our team
Was scoring a touchdown
The time that the floor fell out of my car
When I put the clutch down
The penny arcade, the games that we played
The fun and the prizes
The Halloween hop when everyone came
In funny disguises
Magic moments filled with love
