And something on your mind
Became a point of view
I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late

As I search for a face that I know

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly

Come Together - The Beatles

Hugging like a monkey see

right beside a riverboat gambler
erotic images float through my head

quickly, quickly
the blood races through my veins
quickly, loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring


Wishing Well, Terrence Trent D'arby

[kisstheviolets]

excellent song choice, meretricious! i just listened to that not five minutes ago.

Linked word: midnight

The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

"Midnight Confessions" - the Grass Roots

[Foomatic]

linked phrase = that I love you

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
It always ends up to one thing honey
And I cant think of right words to say

How Can I Tell You, Cat Stevens

[Paint the Sky]

Linked phrase = right words to say

Right about now if I'd found the right words to say
I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
I'll be here by your side for the rest of your life
Our bodies could fall off the end of the world

Something told me we'd be happy forever
I don't see how this could change any of that
I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face
And lie with you on the grass above


Right words to say - Snow Patrol

[EasierSaid]

linked word = now

Yes my meat man is a sweet man
Bring me chicken every day
And he tell me, "pretty baby
You don't ever have to pay"

And my landlord he's done told me
Not to worry 'bout the rent
All he wants to do is hold me
And my rent won't cost a cent

Now my coal man is an old man
And he's almost 82
But believe me when I tell you
That he knows just what to do


"I'm Getting 'Long Alright" - Big Maybelle Smith

[WillowRTaraM1]

Linked word: Believe

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Sheryl Crow- "I shall believe"

[noho]

Linked word = down

See I
Heard it all before
Heard it all before
All of your lies all of your sweet talk
Baby this, baby that
But your lies ain't working now
Now
Look who's hurting now
Look who's hurting now
See I had to shut you down
Down
I had to shut you down


"Heard It All Before" - Sunshine Anderson

[meretricious]

linked word =sweet

She's cruisin the streets
makin' damn sure she don't run into that old man
well around him she hardly even speaks,
she slips into an old retreat

I saw her struttin' in a dress
lookin' lucky last week
keeping an eye out for shadies
holding something sweet

sweetrelief
find it in a bathtub, or a backrub
or in the clothes you wear
or just in the air


Sweet Relief, Maria Mckee

[EasierSaid]

On Grace Cathedral park

There with you I fear the time

When air gets dark

You know I don't spend days like this

Caught up in lost times of youth that I miss


"Grace Cathedral Park" - Red House Painters

[Paint the Sky]

Linked word = youth

Maybe, if you were some spear-headed guy,
I would listen to what you have to say,
But your just some incapable figure thinking your bigger than me,

Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day.

Youth of Today - Amy Macdonald

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: lie

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black to replace my blue

But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you

"The First Taste" - Fiona Apple

[EvilKittycatofdoom]

Linked phrase = Waiting for the

Sitting on a cornflake, [b]waiting for the[/b] van to come.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

[Paint the Sky]

linked word = cornflake

never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hangin with the raisin girls

Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos

[whatmakesyouhappy]

linked word = other side


Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the OTHER SIDE

I know they're wrong wait and see
someday we'll find it the rainbow connection
the lover the dreamer and me

Rainbow connection = Kermit the frog

[hermitfish]

linked word = illusions

Want to buy some illusions,
Slightly used, second hand?
They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand.
They had a touch of paradise,
A spell you can't explain:
For in this crazy paradise,
You are in love with pain.

Marlene Dietrich - "Illusions"

[Paint the Sky]

Linked word = sand

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon!
Come, Armageddon! Come!

Everyday is silent and grey

Everyday is like Sunday - Morrissey

[noho]

Linked word = town

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
'Cause time is short and life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice


"Town Called Malice" - The Jam

[EasierSaid]

linked word = things

Every time you're near
Every time I see your smile
Hear your hello
Saying you can only stay a while

To say the things
We both know are true
But tell me how come

I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again


"I Keep Forgettin'" - Michael McDonald

[Paint the Sky]

linked phrase = never be the same agian

I thought that we would just be friends.
Things will never be the same again.
It's just the beginning it's not the end.

It's not a secret anymore.
Now we've opened up the door.
Starting tonight and from now on.
We'll never, never be the same again.
Never be the same again.

Never be the same again - Mel C

[noho]

Linked word = friends

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad girl

Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware


"Wild World" - Cat Stevens

[EasierSaid]

linked word = know

A moment of lucidity once in a while

These folks think I know everything

I love the city of Townsville and everyone in it

I wave and smile and walk on by

They might not tell my life is a lie

Between the evil geniuses and sleeping cops

It'll take a Powerpuff Girl to make 'em stop

Thank goodness for the Powerpuffs

Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup make it easy to do my job

'Cause I can't walk and chew gum at the same time


"Walk & Chew Gum" - Optiganally Yours

[Paint the Sky]

linked phrase = walk on by

If you see me walking down the street
and I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by, make believe

That you don't see the tears, just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by.

Walk on by - Dionne Warwick

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: grieve

And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

for I cannot find
the words to say
I need you so

"I love you" - Sarah McLachlan

[EasierSaid]

linked word = condition

I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in
To see what condition my condition was in


"Just Dropped In" - Kenny Rogers

[Paint the Sky]

linked phrase = eight miles high

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You’ll find that it’s stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you’re going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for it’s sound
In places small faces unbound

Eight miles high - The Byrds

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: street

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind

"Thunder Road" - Bruce Springsteen
