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!

Apologies to all for my garbled ‘Word of the day’
Lost in France - Bonnie Tyler

I was LOST in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love
I was lost in France
In the street, a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up, he was standing there
I knew I shouldn't, but I didn't care
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
I was lost in France
And the vines were overflowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked 'round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
And I looked 'round for a telephone
To say, "Baby, I won't be home"
I was lost in France in love
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing
Ooh, la la la, ooh, la la la, dance
Ooh, la la la, dancing

Tired of drifting, searching, shifting
From town to town
Everytime I slip and slide
A little further down
I can't blame you if you wont take me back
After everything I put you through
But honey you're me last hope
And who else can I turn to?
Come on Silver Lady take my word
I won't run out on you again believe me
Oh I've seen the light
It's just one more night without you
Here I am a million miles away from home
The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
I'm LOST and alone
Chilled to the bone
Silver lady
Double talkers and back street walkers
In every turn
Seedy motels and no star hotels
Still I had to learn
That the one shining thing in my life
Was the sweet love I had with you
And honey your my last hope
And who else can I turn to?
Come on Silver Lady take my word
I won't run out on you again believe me
Oh I've seen the light
It's just one more night without you
Here I am a million miles away from home
The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
I'm lost and alone
Chilled to the bone
Silver lady
Can't you find it in you to forgive me
'Cause here I am a million miles away from home
The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
I'm lost and alone
Chilled to the bone
Silver lady
Come on Silver Lady take my word
I won't run out on you again believe me
Oh I've seen the light
It's just one more night without you

Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've LOST your chance.
Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town.
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown.
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes.
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies.
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums.
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs.
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss.
In a while run a mile, I'm regretting all this.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance.
Time to go, close the show, wave the people good-bye.
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye.
Where's your home, what's your phone number,
stop fooling round.
Could have died, she replied: "I'm the wife of the clown".
Ha! Ha! said the clown, has the king lost his crown,
is the night being tight on romance.
Ha! Ha! said the clown, is it bringing you down
that you've lost your chance.
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you
To carry me through
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get LOST in your really ock and roll and drift away
Na na na, won't you, won't you take me
Oh, take me

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive

We're lost in music
Have you ever seen
Some people lose everything
First to go is their mind, huh
Responsibility to me is a tragedy

Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity
To me, it's my sanity
I could never survive
Some people ask me
What are you gonna be
Why don't you go get a job? Uh-uh
All that I could say
I won't give up my music
Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh, oh
We're lost in music

In Babylon
On the boulevard of broken dreams
My will power at the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
Can ya take me far away from here?
Save my soul from sin?
You wanna get away you've had it man
Nothing's going right
So come sit on the sands of the island
Island of Lost Souls
No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
"Hey hey really get away," is what he said
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear
And golden sands are calling out to you inviting
Make a new man outa you
You can come for a while come with a friend
Forget about work start all over again
Let the real you through, here's what we do
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
Hey hey really get away
Island of Lost Souls
Ayya ayya ayya Island of Lost Souls

Story starts, quiet town
Small-town boy, big-time frown
Never talks, never plays
Different path, LOST his way
Then streets of red, red I’m afraid
There’s no confetti, no parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But, oh my God, how it all did change
Now they all pray,
“Bloodstain, wash away”
He said, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
I heard him
He said, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
I always said, somethin’ wrong
With little, strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles
Gallow calls, son I say
Keep your smile and laugh all day
Think once again in this boring place
For little boys, how they soon change
Now they all pray,
“Bloodstain, wash away”
He said, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
I heard him
He said, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
Well, all the green things died
When Ronnie moved to this place
He said, “Don’tcha dare ask
Why I’m cursed to wear this face”
Now we all know why
The children called him Ronnie Frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
And they all fall down, down, down
He said, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
I heard him
He screamed, “LOST my way”
This bloody day
“LOST my way”
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
That’s right
All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stained the sun today
All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stained the sun today
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's nobody's fault
Don't know the reason
Stayed here all season
Nothing to show but this brand-new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven't a clue
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think, hell, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim
That there's a woman to blame
And I know, it's my own damn fault
You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (Baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've LOST that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've LOST that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
When I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (Baby)
'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying
You've LOST that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've LOST that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Baby (Baby), baby (Baby)
I beg of you, please (Please), please (Please)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Well, bring it on back (So bring it on back)
Bring it on back (So bring it on back)
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa-oh-oh
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone...

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator

[Verse 1]
You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
[Chorus]
But don't tell my heart, my ACHY breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man, ooh
[Verse 2]
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
[Chorus]
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man, ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man, ooh-ooh
Ooh!

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she ACHES just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that I just can't fit
Yes, I believe that it's time for us to quit
But when we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman
Yes, you do, you make love just like a woman
Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
SINCE you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon,
the night time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Since you been gone
If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Here's the thing: we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
SINCE you've been gone
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah
SINCE you've been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
SINCE you've been gone
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
SINCE you've been gone
How come I'd never hear you say,
"I just wanna be with you."
I guess you never felt that way
But SINCE you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
SINCE you've been gone
You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again, and again, and again

I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on

Ever SINCE I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
Plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
'How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?'
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashing
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets the replay
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
I thought I was The Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
Even on my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
I've played the silver ball….
Nice!

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are cryin'
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey, oh
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme
SINCE nineteen-sixteen
In your head, in your head
They're still fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are dyin'
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey

I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt
Then I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he
And tell me what he means to you
I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go
Now it CUTS like a knife
But it feels so right
It CUTS like a knife
But it feels so right
There's times I've 'bin mistaken
There's times I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could
This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away
Now it CUTS like a knife
But It feels so right
It CUTS like a knife

Now a country boy named Shorty
And a city boy named Dan
Had to prove who could run the fastest
To wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money
And he also had the looks
But Shorty must've had that something boys
That can't be found in books, woo
"CUT across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed," woo
Wait a minute
Now Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
He made up his mind old Shorty
Would end in second place
You know Dan with his long legs flying
He left Shorty far behind him
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
It's you that I wanna wed," woo
But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare, you know that thing
When Danny crossed over the finish line
He found Shorty waiting there, woo
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Won't you cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed"
It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Lord, it's you I wanna wed, woo hoo
Ha ha, yeah, woo

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party, and the room is in a mess
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
Why don't you CUT your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are naugh-ga-hyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe
It's not easy tryin' to tell her that I shortly have to leave
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me? (She's a wonderful lady)
Why don't you stop and see? (And she's mine all mine)
Why don't you hate who I hate (And there doesn't seem a way)
Kill who I kill to be free? (That she won't come and lose my mind)
Why don't you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs)
Why don't you live up there? (To a girl in yellow dress)
Why don't you do what I do (It's been a long time since the party)
See what I feel when I care? (And the room is in a mess)
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know
The first CUT is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first CUT is the deepest
When it come to being lucky, she's cursed
When it come to loving me, she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know
The first CUT is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first CUT is the deepest
And when it come to being lucky, she's cursed
When it come to loving me, she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know
The first CUT is the deepest
Baby, I know, the first CUT is the deepest
When it come to being lucky, she's cursed

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly CUT you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Been workin' so hard

Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got

That time's just holdin' me down

Everybody, cut footloose
You're playin' so cool
Obeyin' every rule
But dig way down in your heart
You're yearnin', burnin' for
Somebody to tell you
Life ain't passin' you by
I'm tryin' to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Ooh-whee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo
Come on, come on, let's go
Lose your blues
Everybody, cut footloose

I'm turnin' it loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody, cut foot-
Kick off your Sunday shoes (take them off)
Please, Louise
Pull me off of my - (oh)
Jack, get back
Come on before we crack (oh, well)
Lose your blues
Everybody, cut, everybody, cut
Everybody, cut, everybody, cut
Everybody, cut, everybody (everybody!)
Everybody, cut footloose
You took off in the dead night
But before you did
Got your hair combed right, yeah
The neighborhood watch knows the score
And they're knocking at your door
Let 'em knock some more
They're saying you need a little protection
But following the leader
Gonna turn you off the religion
It's coming down, the hardest cut
World wars in your mind
Long day into night, the hardest cut
We live on a knife
Here it come now, here it come now
Here it is, the hardest cut
I took off in the dead of night
But before I did
Got my affairs in order and my boots on
The hallelujah choir needs the score
And they're knocking at my door
Let 'em knock some more
They're saying I need a little direction
But following the leader
Gonna turn me off the religion, oh
It's coming down, the hardest cut
World wars in my mind
Long day into night, the hardest cut
We live on a knife
Here it come now, here it come now
Here it is, the hardest cut
It's coming down, the hardest cut
World wars in my mind
Long day into night, the hardest cut
Who's taking the knife?
Here it come now, here it come now
Here it is, the hardest cut

You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not HARM you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Nothing's gonna HARM you

Nothing's gonna harm you
No, sir
Not while I'm around
Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care
I've got ways

No one's gonna hurt you

Others can desert you

Whistle, I'll be there
Demons'll charm you

You sheltered me from HARM
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
Your loving them so
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
One, two
One, two, three, uh!
Yeah
I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret, I think I love her
Built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any HARM
So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike and, uh, we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm
I said, now, overcast days never turned me on
But something 'bout the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't too bright, but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks
She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret, I think I love her
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star
Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell you, if I had the chance to do it all again, ooh
I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause, baby, I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then
(Raspberry beret) Oh!
The kind you find (The kind you find)
The kind you find (In a second-hand store)
Oh, no, no
(Raspberry beret)
(And if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more)
Yeah (Raspberry beret)
Aah!
I think I, I think I, I think I love her!
(Raspberry beret)
No, no, no
No, no, no (The kind you find)
(In a second-hand store)
(Raspberry beret)
Tell me
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more)
(Raspberry beret)
Ooh, uh, I think I love

she’ll never know
just what I found.
That blue-eyed girl,
she said No more,
and that blue-eyed girl
became blue-eyed whore.
Down by the water
I took her hand.
My lovely daughter –
won’t see her again.
Oh help me Jesus,
get through the storm.
I had to lose her –
to do her HARM.
I heard her holler.
I heard her moan.
My lovely daughter –
I took her home.
Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water –
come back here man, gimme my daughter.
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you, ooh
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling
When you told me, ooh
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Oh, believe me darling
Believe me when I tell you, ooh
I'll never do you no harm
Yeah, I'm sittin' on this barstool, talkin' like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy?
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?
Well, I'm so tired of losin', I got nothin' to do
With all day to do it
Well, I'd go out cruisin', but I've no place to go
And all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder? I've got too much time on my hands
It's tickin' away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's tickin' away, tickin' away from me
(Too much time on my hands) it's t-t-t-t-t-tickin' away
(Too much time on my hands) now I don't know what to do
(Too much time on my hands)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Now I'm a jet fuel genius, I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I've got dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the President?
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder? I've got too much time on my hands
It's tickin' away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's tickin' away, tickin' away from me
(Too much time on my hands) t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tickin' away
(Too much time on my hands) and I don't know what to do with myself
(Too much time on my hands) mm
(Too much time on my hands) t-t-t-t-tickin' away
(Too much time on my hands) mm
(Too much time on my hands)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long, oh
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too MUCH love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cause you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
Mmm, how would it be if you were standing in my shoes?
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No, there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Oh-oh, yeah
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you every time
Yeah-yeah, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end

(Hey! Psst PSST! Here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues
She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds

Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene

She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds

She take her boat to Hong Kong

No need to whine boy
Like a wind up toy you stutter at my feet
And it's never the time boy
You've had too much wine to stumble up my street
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't keep between the sheets
Tell me you're mine love
And I will not wait for other bedtime treats
Is there something you lack
When I'm flat on my back
Is there something that I can do for you?
It's always something you hate
Or it's something you ate
Tell me is it the way that I touch you?
Have you found a new mate
And is she really great
Is it just that I'm much too much for you?
Don't feed me a line boy
I can hear that voice you use upon the phone
And there's no need to be coy
That is something you can do upon your own
Well it isn't a problem
Nothing we can't solve so just relax
Am I on the wrong train love
And will I have to tie you to the tracks?
