LINK WORD=WORLD

Wake up to find out
that you are the eyes of the World
but the heart has its beaches
its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you
are the song that the morning brings
but the heart has its seasons
its evenings and songs of its own


Eyes Of The World
Grateful Dead

[Tues]

linked words = wake, morning

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies

I want to wake up in the morning with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more that that I wanna be bad

"I Want to be Evil" - Eartha Kitt

[starcomed]

Linked words: mud pies

Dirt is quiet, it don't make noise
It's fun to play with, especially for boys
Girls don't much like it, but that's okay
Boys don't like girls much anyway

Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
Dirt, dirt, good ol' dirt
It may sound silly, but it really don't hurt
To sing about good ol' dirt

It hurts just a little if it gets in your eyes
You can put it in water and make mud pies
Babies will eat it, but babies are dumb
They wet their diapers and suck on their thumbs


Artist: Waylon Jennings
Song Title: Dirt

Linked word=eyes

Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
I just thought you were the one
Broken up
Deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cried
Behind these hazel eyes

Behind these hazel eyes - Kelly Clarkson

[noho]

Linked word = pieces

Well did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And is it over now do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home


"Gold Dust Woman" - Fleetwood Mac

[Mestiza]

Linked Word "Down"



I’m not crying
It’s just been raining...
...on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my face
Please don’t tell my mates
I’m not crying
No, I’m not crying
And if I am crying
It’s not because of you
It’s because I’m thinking of a friend of mine who you don’t know who is...dying
That’s right, dying
These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
I’ve just been cutting onions...
...I’m making a lasagna
For one
Oh, I’m not crying
No
There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland


Flight of the Conchords "Distant Future"

[hondos]

LINK WORD=LEAVING
You analyze me, pretend to despise me,
You laugh when I stumble and fall.
There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance, I will crawl across it
Unable to dance, I'll still crawl.


And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
But I know that you'll think of me only
When the snakes come marching in
When the snakes come marching in

Hell In a Bucket
Grateful Dead

link word=crawl

On our way, today
Day after day
We try hard
We crawl far

On our way, today
Day after day

I know that its better, when we stick together
Our love is alive

Through ups and down of facing each other
Together were better together well find

'We Crawl' - The Polyphonic Spree

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: together

All the world just stopped now
So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
Let me take a deep breath babe
If you need me, me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the dream king

Neil says hi by the way
I don't believe you're leaving cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream
I think it's that girl and I think there're pieces of me you've never seen
Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen, well

All the world is
All I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And that tear in your hand
All the world is danglin'... Danglin'... Danglin' for me darlin'
You don't know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
That tear in your hand

"Tear in Your Hand" - Tori Amos

[Mestiza]

Linked Word 'World'



All the ladies in the world
I wanna get next to you
Show you some gratitude
By makin' love to you it's the least I can do...
If every soldier in the world
Put down their weapon and picked up a woman
What a peaceful world this world would be-eee...

Redheads not warheads
Blondes not bombs
We're talkin' about brunettes not fighter jets

When will the governments realize it's got to be funky sexy ladies?

I have a vision and all I can see
Is all of you with all of me
In a world of peace and harmony
Where every lady gets a little piece of ...


Flight of the Conchords "Ladies of the World"

[jay/wt4evr]

Linked word = love

I know I'l stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's the chance you won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have adrink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like
I love you

Sometihn' stupid-Robbie Wiliwams ft. Nicole Kidman

[hondos]

LINK WORD=CHANCE

Eyes alight with glowing hair
all that fancy paints as fair
she takes her fan and throws it
in the lion's den

"Which of you to gain me, tell
will risk uncertain pains of Hell?
I will not forgive you
if you will not take the chance"

The sailor gave at least a try
the soldier being much too wise
strategy was his strength
and not disaster

Lady with a Fan
Grateful Dead

[noho]

Linked word = eyes

Eyes that tell me baby
You don't need no invitation
Let me smoke another cigarette
Before I make a move
I can see me in the morning
Losing my direction
Deep inside my overcoat
Looking for the door

I don't wanna stay with you
I just wanna play with you
One sweet abbreviation
Sleeping like the dead
You think you're pretty well so do I
You came to me but passion lies
Got no imagination to clutter up my head


"No Imagination" - Blondie

[Zodiax]

Linked Word = Imagination

We’re gonna play a game
Just you and me
You never should be won
So easily
Your eyes are on the prize
I’m worth the wait
Don’t need to know the end
‘cause darling

Magic stays where myth remains
I’m under your spell
Don’t release me

Never give the game away
Try to keep me entertained baby
Don’t make it too easy
Leave something
For me and my imagination

Me and My Imagination- Sophe Ellis Bextor

[thiswomanswork]

linked word = easily

To think of my task was chilling,
To know I was carefully building the mask
I was wearing
For two years swearing
I'd tear it off.

I sat in the dark explaining
To myself that I'm straining too hard
For feelings
I ought to find
easily.

Called myself Jezebel.
I don't believe.

Before I say that the vows we made
Weigh like a stone in my heart,
Family is family.
Don't let this tear us apart.

10000 Maniacs - Jezebel

[satinpaper]

linked word = tear

Not looking for a reason, not trying to understand
Not trying to catch your eye, not trying to touch your hand
Not trying to show you part of me no one else can find
But I will bring a song to you, who will buy my time?

The people get philosophical and say there is no future
I am trying to tear myself away from your eye.

Metric - The People

[hondos]

LINK WORD=AWAY
Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.

It's all wrong, but it's all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better loser.

Bell Bottom Blues
by Eric Clapton

[watty]

linked word = die

Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me from you
You can tie me down on the railroad track
You can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big old cars
Won't run me out of town
Well i'll be damned if you're not my man
Before the sun goes down

You can chain me down
On the edge of town
You can leave me there to die
But the railroad track
Will bring me back
When the lonesome whistle cries


"Barricades and Brickwalls" -- Kasey Chambers

[noho]

Linked word = train

Leavin on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things you said to me


"Interstate Love Song" - Stone Temple Pilots

[jay/wt4evr]

Linked words= time,by

'n I need you
'n I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
'cos you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

Vanessa Carlton-A thousand miles

[satinpaper]

linked word = sky

I fell down in that hole again
I am a lump of jelly
I am a dead fish

I look up at the blue sky
And I know that it's just
A temporary dive

Sitting on the cold dirt floor
I want to finish the counting of days on the walls
I build a ladder from broken wish bones
And square-shaped stones
That my friends threw down in the hole

Ane Brun - A Temporary Dive

[hondos]

Link Word=Fish
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod one night
Sailed off on a wooden shoe
Sailed down a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew

Now where are you going and what do you wish
The old moon asked the three
Well we`re going out fishing for Herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea
And some silver and gold have we
Said Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod

The old moon laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in their wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew

While the little stars were the Herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
Now cast your nets where ever you wish
Never afeared are we
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod

Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod
Irish Rovers

Linked word= stars

Games we don't want to play
Same winner everyday
Kill for the second best
Feel no more, feel no less
We have our minutes cut
We lose our feelings but
That's what the movies show
This is where stories go
Stars we don't want to reach
Scars we don't want to stitch
Go where we haven't been
Fly away, time machine
Cloud we will chase him out
Crowds, we will face them down
This is our secret place
Outer space, outer space
Our home forever is outer space
Black stars and endless
seas, outer space
You hold your destinies, outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer space, outer space

Linked word = winner

Sunflowers and your face fascinate me
You love only the tallest trees
I come running down the hill
But you're fast
You're the winner
Long distance winner


"Long Distance Winner" - Buckingham Nicks

[Foomatic]

linked words = come running

You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.

All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.


You've Got A Friend, James Taylor

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair
Have you seen it? It’s great. They got stuff.

Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
With the blue people! They're great! They're just... chilled out!

The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate.
Nice neck of the woods.
The Hendersons they’re gonna dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late.
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production is second to none baby.
And of course Henry The Horse gonna do the waltz!

[thiswomanswork]

linked word=fire

He was pulling a job like so many before
When they caught him and put him in jail.
He was sentenced to transport to faraway shores
On the prison ship London set sail.

And when the day came that the prisoners rose up
To throw off the chains of that jail,
He was first in the line of the fighting that day,
Though he knew in his heart they would fail.

So don't call him coward, for coward he's not,
Though he may not be one you'd admire.
He's just one more poor soul feeling down on his luck
Who's been caught in the line of fire.

Cecelia Eng - 'Caught in the Line of Fire'

LINK WORD=ROSE
Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose.
It rainbow spirals round and round,
It trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind,
I like to blow away.
But the heat came round and busted me
For smilin on a cloudy day


Escapin' through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal
At the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land


Grateful Dead=The Other One
