linked word= caroline

caroline
those crazy eyes that shine
days blowin' thru my mind
it ain't no good, i tried as hard as i could
but you just won't let
my poor heart be

the final war
a steel-eyed dinasour
girl i want you more than i can say
ah but caroline
it seems like every time, honey
all i get is further away


"caroline", david gray

[justin]

linked word = eyes

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see - KT Tunstall

[Patches]

Linked word = power


The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The Power of Love Frankie Goes To Hollwood

[onelesstraveled]

linked word = soul

Look at all those fancy clothes
But these could keep us warm just like those
And what about your soul is it cold
Is it straight from the mold and ready to be sold
And cars and phones and diamond rings
Those are only removable things
And what about your mind does it shine
Or are there things that concern you more than your time

"Gone", Jack Johnson

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = cars

Brucie dreams life’s a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin. innocence coming to grief
At the hands of life - stinkin’ car thief, that’s my concept of sin
Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?

But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

Prefab Sprout - "Cars & Girls"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = girls

Girls
Who have found our unsung nation
Where we left so much land to itself
That everyone had her own mountain

Well if you think of this girl and the dreams that made her
Write your secrets on hornet nest paper
And blow it high across the border

Dar Williams, "O Canada Girls"

[justin]

linked word = dreams

Do you hear what I'm saying gotta say how I feel
I can't believe you're here but I know that you're real
I know what I want and baby it's you
I can't deny my feelings because they are true

Dreams can come true
Look at me babe I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you gotta be strong

Dreams - Gabrielle

[hermitfish]

linked word = gotta

Well I'm no saint
but I ain't bad
I'm too busy baby
just loving the life I have
Oh yeah

And I'd stay but I gotta move on
I ride the wind and I'm gone

Sam Roberts - "This is How I Live"

[the hero factor]

Linked word = loving

I have a picture,
pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
Look at our life now, tattered and torn.
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn

"Hold Me Now" -Thompson Twins

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = life

Your abuse will end right here
No longer will your family fear
A Gunshot to the head of trepidation
My promise if you ever lay a finger
This battle is on all
You've made beautiful
Now hateful
You wretched
life wrecker
Abuser
Now suffer
Open fire
On the desire of the man
Open fire
With strife we'll strike down the hand
(Open fire, build the pyre)
If I can't make you see the damage you've made
(Open fire, build the pyre)
I'll make you wish you'd never been alive

Trivium - "A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = fear

I search all the time on the ground
For our shadows cast side by side.
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy,
That you exist and are mine.
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
As that smile in your eyes.
But I have to keep touching and smelling
And tasting for fear it's all lies.

"Angel Mine," Cowboy Junkies

[the hero factor]

Linked word = smile

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune

"And We Danced" -The Hooters

[justin]

Linked word = crowded

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

[hermitfish]

linked word = another

You say you want me
I want another
Say you dream of me
Dream of your brother
Oh, the stars shine so suspiciously

well i can't exist when you disappear
disinegrate tonight, swallow everything

sister don't be scared

on my feet again

"can't exist" joseph arthur

[Foomatic]

linked word: father

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

Father Figure, George Michael

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = you

Thinking back when I was young
You kept me safe from everything
Set me straight when I went wrong
Raised me to respect myself
I can offer no excuse for this senseless self abuse
All the pain that I've caused you to feel
When I hurt myself, it hurts you more
And that's what hurts me most of all

The Waifs, "Shelter Me"

[hermitfish]

linked word = respect

There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts

They Might Be Giants - "Birdhouse in Your Soul"

[the hero factor]

Linked word = there's

Well I hear you're using someone else's number
She said she saw you in the store today
It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under
I only know they'll never make you stay
Like a memory in motion, you were only passing through
That is all you've ever known of life, that's all you'll ever do
There's a dream I have where I sail away
Looking back I wave at you, and I wave goodbye

"Caroline" -Concrete Blonde

[angel of salvation]

linked word= goodbye

i've been searching deep down in my soul,
words that i'm hearing are starting to get old,
feels like i'm starting all over again,
the last 3 years were just pretend, and i said,

goodbye to you,
goodbye to everything that I knew,
you were the one I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to,

Goodbye To You-Michelle Branch

Jess xxx

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = soul

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me.
From time to time, I find I've lost some need.
And what's emerging to myself, I do believe.

Up, down, turn around,
Please don't let me hit the ground.
Tonight I think I'll walk alone,
I'll find my soul as I go home.

"Temptation," New Order

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = believe

Laura lost her bearings when she lost her illusions
That she had nothing much to fear
She lost her ponytail and six long months of sleeping
When the Big C came to call last fall
But last night I saw Laura walking down by the river
And I could hardly hide my tears
But Laura looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said
"Wanna go with me to Italy next year?"

I still believe, I still believe

Susan Werner, "Still Believe"

[GayNow]

Linked Word = Laura

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
But most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait

"Tell Laura I Love Her" by Dickey Lee

[the hero factor]

Linked word = flowers

At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?

"What Have I Done To Deserve This" -Pet Shop Boys

[meretricious]

linked word=walk

two of us in a double feature
i'm a rock and roller, she's a science teacher
i send her looks they don't reach her
she does not know i'm in love with her

later on, it's no better
she wants to take a walk and so i let her
i watch her go, and then i go and get her
i have to spell it out for her

"four eyed girl" rhett miller

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = go

Where's all the money gone? - I'm talking to you,
All up the hole in your arm,
is the needle a much better screw?
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.
Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.

Suede - "The Living Dead"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = money

Although I know it's hard to tell
I hope that what's-his-name treats you well
I still maintain that he's a bum
But it's your money, have some fun

So are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

Richard Shindell, "Are You Happy Now"

[GayNow]

linked word = happy

Yes -
We couldn't be happier,
Right, dear?
Couldn't be happier
Right here
Look what we've got
A fairy-tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn't be happier -
True, dear?
Couldn't be happier
And we're happy to share
Our ending vicariously
With all of you
He couldn't look handsomer
I couldn't feel humbler
We couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!

"Thank Goodness" -- Kristen Chenoweth as Glinda in Wicked

[the hero factor]

Linked word = true

So true, funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels,when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
When I want the truth to be said

"True" -Spandau Ballet

[hermitfish]

linked word = world

Time flies, time crawls
You're a prisoner trapped between its claws
Life sucks, sometimes
You gotta learn to live between the lines
Your feet are on the ground
But the world keeps spinning you around

Big deal

Dead Milkmen - "Big Deal"
