linked word = night


I heard you were here, then you dissapeared...
Last night, when they killed the lights.

Words we didn't say,
your eyes that took us down to more,
Than we were ready for.

You came up behind me, grabbed my wrists in the dark
And said 'don't look at what you can't see.

Now all night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

All night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

Doesn't matter what I tell myself.
The flame is small, but it burns it all.

Sleepless questions and some sly suggestions.
I could fly, if I could only fall.

I've been wanting to touch you since we met.
You don't give a girl a chance to forget.

Now all night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

Now all night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

No straight lines when love rewinds, out in the night.
Well you took the light.

You're all around but I haven't found you.
You're coming in, right through my skin.

Oh comrade, what do you need?
Where will all this trouble lead?

Now all night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

Now all night, all night.
I've been looking for you all night.

"All Night" By Sam Phillips

[kisstheviolets]

"Blood & Fire" by the Indigo Girls
Linked word: burns

I have spent nights with matches and knives
Leaning over ledges only two flights up
Cutting my heart, burning my soul
Nothing left to hold
Nothing left but blood and fire

You have spent nights thinking of me
Missing my arms but you needed to leave
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns
Hoping I'd learn

But blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire they're calling me
Back to your fold
And I am calling you, calling you
From 10,000 miles away
Wont you whet my fire with your love
Babe

[noho]

Linked word = blood

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I need your love but it comes out wrong
I've tried to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses


"Blood and Roses" - The Smithereens

[EasierSaid]

linked word - see

When they speak of the open door
And the way you've flown it's fine
When they show me the evidence
And they're talking down your memory
Nevermind the words they waste
They can't see you're mine
Waiting here until words run out
Dreaming of the day when you
Open your arms in the light of our love

"Rain Song" - Sunny Day Real Estate

[Mestiza]

linked word 'your'



have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just aint no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that you're full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull


i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat

'rapper's delight' by the sugarhill gang

[watty]

linked word = friend

A friend, the only friend who whispers in your ear
Just to say good luck and that is all you need to hear
I wrap up cold so when I march on my bare heels
Everything I lack in style's made up with how I feel

I need us undivided, I want this thing to stop
I've had the training to be overwhelmed but I'm not
Empty soul of hate but this isn't my war
Couldn't tell you how it started or where it is fought


"Undivided" -- Thirteen Senses
[br]

[dorksrcool]

linked word=hear

I’m moving east there’s somewhere far away from
the sight of my hands the sight of me not moving.
You can’t just hop a plane and come and visit me again.
I claim it’s in my head and I regret offering.
All I need to hear is that you’re not mine, you’re not mine.

"Hop A Plane"-- Tegan and Sara

[tarawhipped]

Linked word= somewhere

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of,
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow," E.Y. Harburg & Harold Arlen

[noho]

Linked word = lullaby

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby


"Golden Slumbers" - The Beatles

[EasierSaid]

linked word - cry

Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope
I invest in a single lie
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from an emptier boat

Cause when the dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To have us in
And when the dog slides
Underneath a train
There's no cry, no use to searching for
The mutt's remains

"Sea Legs" The Shins

[Mestiza]

Away

If I was the Grand Canyon I'd echo everything you say
But I'm just me
I'm only me
And you used to love me that way...
...so you know how to love me that way

If I was Paul Bunyan I'd carry you so far away
But I'm just me
I'm only me
And you used to love me that way...
...so you know how to love me that way

The Magnetic Fields "Grand Canyon"

[hermitfish]

linked word = Paul

Walking through the high dry grass
Pushing my way through slow
Yellow belly black snake
Sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go

Sugar train stops at the crossing
Cane cockies cursing below
Bad storm coming
Better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light, Rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light, Rain in the valley
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

Midnight Oil - "King of the Mountain"

[EasierSaid]

linked word - train

This train is known as the Black Diamond Express train to hell
Sin is the engineer
Pleasure is the headlight
And the Devil is the conductor
I see the Black Diamond as she starts off for hell
The bell is ringing, hellbound, hellbound
The Devil cries out, "All aboard for hell"
First station!

"Black Diamond Express to Hell" Rev. A. W. Nix

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = Express

This is an announcement
For the transcendental run.
The train now standing
Leaves for higher planes.
Due to a derailment,
There will be no other train.
So why not hop on this one?
Hear the porter's glad refrain.

Each carriage is connected,
As is every single train.
The rails all form a track,
Which is a link within a chain.
The chain's connected to another chain now.
You will need no ticket
If you wish to ride on this train.

All aboard the Express Kundalini.

"Kundalini Express," Love & Rockets

[meretricious]

linked word = conductor

squeeze her knees underneath a book
you know a real good shakin's all it took
cause my baby's hooked on me
and as you can see, i'm wild about her

she got going but i can't complain,
you know it knocks me out when she acts so strange
like a big mac truck cut across 2 lanes in my soul
conductor throw some metal down, roll
let's roll
she gets mad when it goes too slow,
so i'm begging you man keep shoveling coal
let's roll

Liz Phair - baby got going

[Mestiza]

Soul

Nothing is ever as good as it was
And what's good for your soul
Will be bad on your nerves
Strike that reverse it

It's bound to melt your heart
One way or another
It's bound to melt your heart
For good or for bad
It's like a valentine
From your mother
It's bound to melt your heart

And we've lost the people we could have loved, and you...
What you know you have or what you think you aren't
It's never perfect

Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins "Melt Your Heart"

[hermitfish]

linked word = good

Leave my station where i stood
To lay for a while with you
I got shadows snapping at my tail
Who say I'm no damn good
But that's just halfway true
All that I'm good for is you

You know I play with all those strays
Prowling outside your door
It's the scraps of love you throw my way
That have got me on all fours
It's only fair you knew
All that I'm good for is you

Hem - "All That I'm Good For"

[watty]

linked word = station

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

"Homeward Bound" -- Simon & Garfunkel
[br]

[starcomed]

linked word = wish

O love is never easy
It's almost always out of your way
It's not the path of least resistance
It's not some words you get to say
It's a stream running up a mountain
It's a wave rolling out from the shore
Wish I could say I never felt that way before

I have a friend who's lonely
She is chasing after her dreams
And she is the one and only
One who knows how hard it could be

Chorus:

There's a treasure on her island
Buried in the city of news
Wish I could say we didn't have that much to lose

Mary Black - "Treasure Island"

[Mestiza]

Words

Such a little thing
such a little thing
But the difference it made was grave
There you go
Wielding a bicycle chain
Oh why won't you change
Change and be nicer?
Such a little thing
A gentle tone of kindness
Or written words on paper
Can you write?
How I love all of the very simple things of life
(God's good air)
How I love all of the very simple things of life
Such a little thing
A fumbling politeness
The difference it saved me
Wielding a bicycle chain
"I WILL NOT CHANGE
AND I WILL NOT BE NICE
Most people keep their brains
Between your legs
(don't you find?)
Leave me alone - I was only singing
Leave me alone because
I was only singing
Leave me alone - I was only singing
Leave me alone
You have just proved (again)
MOST PEOPLE KEEP THEIR BRAINS
BETWEEN THEIR LEGS

Morrissey 'Such A Little Thing'

[hermitfish]

linked word = people

The world is full of people who want to hurt you
Stuff your message of love up the end of their guns

The world is full of people who will desert you
Take a good look around
They're not to be found

I want to keep you safe and sound from them
I want to keep the world from crashing in


Salim Nourallah - "The World is Full of People Who Want to Hurt You"

[watty]

linked word = world

we'll do it all
everything
on our own
we don't need
anything
or anyone

if I lay here
if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
how to say
how I feel
those three words
I said too much
they're not enough

if I lay here
if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?


"Chasing Cars" -- Snow Patrol
[br]

[noho]

Linked word = said too much

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try


"Losing My Religion" - R.E.M.

[EasierSaid]

linked word - try

Cause in the back of my mind
Is a feeling so glad
There is a stillness
Untouched by human hands
And a voice that sighs
'Oh, you won't get out of this world alive
no matter how hard you try, try, try'

"No Matter How Hard You Try" Young Galaxy

[kisstheviolets]

Linked words: stillness, world

I used to think my life
Was often empty
A lonely space to fill
You hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
You made my world stand still
And in that stillness
There was a freedom
I never felt before

I would not let myself believe
That you might stray
And I would stand by you
No matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

"Plenty" - Sarah McLachlan

[noho]

Linked word = hurt

She took the TV and the toaster
She took the curtains and the car
I guess she took for granted
I wouldn't take it very hard
And for someone in a hurry
She took her own sweet time
But it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind


"What She Left Behind" - Tim Mcgraw

[EasierSaid]

linked word - her

I mean, I told her straight up,
You know, 'I got a significant other'
She ain't care
She said, 'for tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other'
What?
Goddamn

"Backstage Girl" - DJ Shadow feat. Phonte Coleman

[Knock yourself out]

linked word tonight

Tonight you're mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Written by Goffin and King

[watty]

linked word = tomorrow

Sooner or later she feels the morning come
Isn't it safer -- dark thoughts all gone
What a sensation
She has made it through one more tomorrow
Raising up her eyes to a brand new sky
She knows the truth at last --
She's never coming back


"This is the Day" -- Ivy
[br]

[noho]

Linked word = eyes

I love your eyes my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


"The Dull Flame of Desire" - Bjork
