Linked word = good

I may not be your best
But you know good ones
Don't come by the score
If you've got something missing
I'll help you look
You can be sure

And if you want to be alone
Or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want to do
All you got to do is ask

Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning
Under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fireside
Come running to me
When things get out of hand
Running to me
When it's more than you can stand

I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a shelter
In a storm
Your willow
Oh willow
When the sun is out

"Willow" -Joan Armatrading

[mudrat]

linked word = willow

There’s a wooden house in Falls St
Old and falling down and lovely
There’s an old train carriage in the garden
Underneath the willow beside the stream
In the carriage there is a feather bed

Visions fill my head so brightly
Feelings never-said, hold on tightly
We’d take our guitars and a dozen candles
And everything we needed to disappear
Listening to the rain in your father's arms

It’s the world in which I remain
It’s the world of which I dream
I wish you a love like our love
Underneath the river, beside the stream

Walking out the back of Falls St
Through the fallen leaves and debris
To the old train carriage in the garden
Where we used to love all the pain away
Waiting for the sun in your father’s arms

It’s the world in which I remain
It’s the world of which I dream
I wish you a love like our love
Forty years of harmony
La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la
I wish the world a love like our love
Underneath the willow beside the stream

"Falls St" - Jodi Phillis

[tarawhipped]

linked word = river

What about it, you're gonna leave me,
What about it, you don't need me,
What about it, I can't live without you,
What about it, I never doubted you.
What about it? What about it?
What about it? What about it?

Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl, defeated and gifted?
Should I go the length of a river,
The royal, the throne, the cry me a river.
What about it, what about it, what about it?
Oh, I'm pissing in a river.

Patti Smith, "Pissing in a River"

[justin]

linked word = what

and what do I, and what do I, what do I need
to do to see myself in a better mood
and what do you, and what do you, what do you need
to do to get yourself in a better mood
well there's not a lot for you to give if you're giving in
and there's not a lot for you to feel if you're not feeling it
you bring it up and bring it in and we'll get you fixed up in no time

and what I wanted most, what I wanted most, what I wanted most
was to get myself all figured out
and what I figured out, what I figured out, what I figured out
was I needed more time to figure you out
there's not a lot for you to give if you're giving in
and there's not a lot for you to feel if you're not feeling it
you bring it up and bring it in and we'll get you fixed up in no time
cause this love is all I have to give
this love is all I have to give

Fix you up - Tegan & Sara

[mudrat]

linked word = world

Well businessmen have been here since the world began
And now I have to wonder is god a businessman?
Cos it seems the only people that matter anymore
Have got a head for business and a combination door
On their shiny silver bubbles that nobody can break
And piles of virtual money that nobody can take
Well there is no one person who’s responsible for this
monopoly on bliss

So what the fuck are we gonna do
To make the world account for me and you?
What the fuck are we gonna do?
I don’t want to live inside a people zoo

What if you’re a dreamer and what if you’re a mess?
What if someone tells you that you are worth less
than the air you’re breathing, or the space you occupy?
What if nothing works out no matter how you try?
Well maybe one day I will look back and realize these words
Were coming from a victim and I’ll have money in my purse
But this is how I see it, I know I’m not alone
And this world is my home

So what the fuck are we gonna do
to make the world account for me and you?
What the fuck are we gonna do?
I don’t want to live inside a people zoo


"Greed Versus Humanity" - Jodi Phillis

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = god

well a God descended
And the real time ended
His light was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we did
With what we saw

You build your faith with strength and duty
Build your love, but there’s a beauty
Well you know the scriptures tell
There are a few shards left in hell
And if we wanted God we had to follow, follow him down

Dar Williams, "And a God Descended"

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: law

Muhammed my friend
I'm getting very scared
Teach me how to love my brothers
Who don't know the law
And what about the deal on that flying
Trapeeze got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in at the
Dew drop inn

"Muhammed My Friend" - Tori Amos

[watty]

linked word = flying

The good Lord is such a good Lord
With such a good mother too
They have blessed me
In the good graces of you
I have heard a hundred violins crying
And I have seen a hundred white doves flying
But nothing is as beautiful
As when she believes in me


"When she believes" -- Ben Harper
[br]

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Linked word = doves

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Prince - When Doves Cry

[justin]

linked word = scream

What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
What u gon' do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I'm a make, make, make, make you scream
Make u scream, make you scream.
Cos of my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps. (Check it out)

I met a girl down at the disco.
She said hey, hey, hey yea let's go.
I could be your baby, you can be my honey
Let's spend time not money.
I mix your milk wit my cocoa puff,
Milky, milky cocoa,
Mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiiiight.

My humps - Black eyed peas

[the hero factor]

Linked word = disco

Desperately seeking someone
Willing to travel
You're lost in conversation
And useless at Scrabble
Happiness will never last
Darkness come's to kick your ass

So let's dance through all our fears
War is over for a bit
The whole world shoud be moving
Do your part
Cure a lonely heart

Your disco
Your disco
Your disco needs you

"Your Disco" -Kylie Minogue

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Linked word = dance

Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said it´s love you said all right
It´s funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You´re dressed to kill and guess who´s dying?
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears

Roxy Music - Dance Away

[justin]

linked word = Yesterday

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday - the Beatles

[hermitfish]

linked words = far away

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She goes wherever she likes

Talking Heads - "Girlfriend is Better"

[Tues]

Feeling fiesty!

linked words - you, somebody

Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you
That's why they try to make a fool of you
They're so jealous of my pretty star
Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes

And you've been waiting all your life
To fly high into somebody else...


"Right Between the Eyes" - Garbage

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Linked word = star

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore

Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small
So frightened that he won't love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

James - She's A Star

[mudrat]

linked word = frozen

it's wonderful,
everywhere, so white

the river has frozen over

not a soul on the ice,
only me, skating fast

I'm speeding past trees, leaving

little lines in the ice,
cutting out little lines
in the ice, splitting, splitting sound,
silverheels spitting, spitting snow

there's something moving under

under the ice, moving
under ice, through water,
trying to it's me get out
of the cold water

it's me

something, someone - help them

it's me

Under Ice - Kate Bush

[bytrsuite]

Linked word = white


I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep
The sun won't be melting these snowy white sheets
Wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep
Rock me to sleep
Rock me to sleep
Wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep

The book on the bedstand
The little TV
The drink and the ashtray
Keep watch over me
The long dark shadows of the sycamore tree
Wave and keep me company


"Rock Me To Sleep" - Jill Sobule

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = ashtray

Two cigarettes in an ashtray,
My love and I in a small cafe.
Then a stranger came along,
And everything went wrong.
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray.

Three Cigarettes - Patsy Cline

[hermitfish]

linked word =stranger

I've been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
And now I see the long, the short, the middle and what's inbetween
I could spit on a stranger
(pour me out)
You're a bitter stranger
(pour me out)

Pavement - "Spit on a Stranger"

[watty]

linked word = gold

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beating time with my breathing
Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

"Gold" -- John Stewart


Irene -- dear fajita, if you're as big a Stevie fan as I know you are, you'll recognize this song, as well as who sings backing on it.
[br]

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Linked word = soul

Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go

James - Lose Control

[justin]

linked word = around


When record shops were on top
and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super info highway was still drifting out in space
kids were wearing hand me downs,
and playing games meant kick arounds
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I wish I was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom

[bytrsuite]

linked word = vinyl

Sometimes I wish that I was a wrestler
A Mexican wrestler in a red vinyl mask
And I might grab you, and body slam you, and maybe cause
physical harm
But when we would land, I might take pity on you
I can crack all your ribs, But I can't break your heart

You will never love me, And this I can't forgive
That you will never love me, As long as I will live

Jill Sobule - "Mexican Wrestler"

[the hero factor]

linked word = Mexican

Senor, you are wise
I can see a million years
A million tears behind your eyes
Take me home
Take me to the zona rosa
Mariachis and tequila
I will dance the night alone

Just some time
Just a little kiss of mine
Take me where I can forget, senor
You are so very kind

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Dos tecate and lime
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon

"Mexican Moon" -Concrete Blonde

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: million

I'm far away and I'm feeling alone
I've got one week behind me, just six more to go
If i could see you I'd take off your clothes
And we'd lie in the garden and watch the weeds grow

The grass is so high
I can't see over
And the moon is so full
It's setting the stars all on fire
If they build the dam
Any higher
They're gonna back up the creek and
Set this whole place under water
The city is a million miles away
The city is a million miles away

Mirah: "Million Miles"

[watty]

linked words =far away

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you're near
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay


"Disappear" -- Hoobastank
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = moment

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Lifehouse, "Hanging By A Moment"

[hivemind]

Linked word: living

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking,
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...
I hope you dance

Ronan Keating - I Hope You Dance

[the hero factor]

Linked word = fear

A penny for your thoughts
A picture so it lasts
Let's knock down the walls of immortality
Your fingers on my skin only you can hear my fear
Only you can help me heal
I see forever with you here

It's never enough
No matter how many miles stand between us
This is love

If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth

"The Last Night On Earth" -Delta Goodrem
