Linked word = born

Children are called the future of an adult world
They are born with spirits so innocent
'till we teach them how to hate

Add to the world's confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we don't adhere to ourselves
Right or wrong

What example can they take
The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become


"Livin' In A World (They Didn't Make)" - Janet Jackson

[mmmh-Hot-Sauce]

I first saw you when I was ten
and your stepmother was an alien
you were attacked by an alien bag
and Dan Ackroyd he was your dad
one day I turned my tv on
I saw you dancing at the Bronze
all the kids just wanna dance
ohh we all want to be your man!

LINK WORD-TUESDAY

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way,
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind,
So gently swaying thru the fairy-land of love,
If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way,
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near,
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh.

The Moody Blues Tuesday Afternoon

[Paint the Sky]

linked phrase = of my mind

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

Diana Ross and The Supremes - Reflections

linked word = mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Cannot see my face at all
My lips are red as the blood I crave,
My hair as black as an empty grave.
As my cold arms around you go,
And my, my skin as white as snow.
I've a coffin for my bed,
And a piece of earth to lay my head.

For I shun the bright sun,
Snow White is my name,
And I am the night one,
As cold as the grave.

Stepmother, queen, you fear me well.
The mirror answers to your spell,
But farther loves his daughter best,
He'll not believe what you have guessed.
So best you learn to live in fear,
And keep your cross and bible near.
For if I catch you unaware,
I'll drink your life, I'll drain you bare.

For I shun the bright sun,
Snow White is my name,
And I am the night one,
As cold as the grave.

Huntsman seeks to end my life
With crucifix and prayer and knife.
His eyes stare now from lifeless face-
He met his death in my embrace!
I walk these woods at night undead,
My mother's crown upon my head.
I'll bleed this land eternally;
Stepmother, witch, come challenge me!

For I shun the bright sun,
Snow White is my name,
And I am the night one,
As cold as the grave.
As cold as the grave.

linked word = night

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people

Link Word=Smile
Rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better but
I know him
Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face
right off you head

Now he's Gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Nine mile skid
on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol
but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof
Dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but
smile, smile, smile
Now he's gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe on some high cold mountain range
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
Knife in a back and more of the same
Same old rat in a drain ditch
Out on a limb
You know better but I know him

Now he's gone
Lord he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He's gone
He's gone
and nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone....

He's gone- Grateful Dead

linked word = knife

Oh, the shark, Babe,
Has such teeth, Dear,
And he shows those
Pearly whites.
Just a jack-knife
Has old Mack Heath, Babe,
And he keeps it outta sight.
You know, when that shark bites
With its teeth, Babe,
Scarlet billows start to spread.
Fancy gloves, oh,
Wears old Mack Heath, Babe,
So there's never -
Never a trace of red.
Now, on the sidewalk,
Ooh, sunny mornin', uh-huh,
Lies a body
Just oozin' life. Eek!
And someone's sneakin'
'Round the corner!
Could that someone
Be Mack the Knife?

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

[noho]

Linked word = teeth

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded have I been hit by a truck?
When my tongue lay inside his lip
Felt like the time in the womb
But I woke up with a headache that split my skull
Alone in the room
I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees
Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh
I said, "Baby, oh sweetheart"


"Up The Neck" - Pretenders

[Kessari]

Linked word = alone


you ever heard the man inside
it’s telling you that nothing is alright?
welcome to my (life)
building biggest walls that hide
my fear to everyone around, I’m blind
welcome to this life

it’s like my summer’s gone
it’s like I turned to stone
and no one’s gonna wake me up I’m all alone
it’s like a fade to grey
you slowly fade away
my life is like a broken glass too late to change
wake me up

living with the blindfolds on
I’m scaring off the ones I love, I’m crying
burn away this (life)
I never found a looking glass
to change my mind and all this mess, I’m dying
take away this life

it’s like my summer’s gone
it’s like I turned to stone
and no one’s gonna wake me up I’m all alone
it’s like a fade to grey
you slowly fade away
my life is like a broken glass too late to change
wake me up

I hear you saying all these hard words
“you never gonna be anything,
go ahead and find your hard work”
so you gonna be the way it’s all supposed to be
I see you all doing (these) things
you go to work all day this 9 to 5, 247 sucking up to someone

it’s like my summer’s gone
it’s like I turned to stone
and no one’s gonna wake me up I’m all alone
it’s like a fade to grey
you slowly fade away
my life is like a broken glass too late to change
wake me up

LINK WORDS=FADE AWAY

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
My love bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you're drivin' me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Love to last more than one day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Love, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away

Beck, Debra

pedalling through
the dark currents
i find an accurate copy
a blueprint
of the pleasure in me

swirling
black lilies
totally ripe

a secret code carved

swirling
black lilies
totally ripe


Pagan Poetry - Bjork

[Sparks]

Linked word: dark.

Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
Tied to a brick
Sweet as a song
The years have been short but the days were long.

Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
When our kite lines first crossed
We tied them into knots
And to finally fly apart
We had to cut them off.

Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkardly cast
That even I could be the star.


Pink Bullets - The Shins

[Kessari]

Linked word = Over

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and,
over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.



Nightwish - Over the hills and far away

[noho]

Linked word = pistol

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol


"Ashes To Ashes" - David Bowie

[Sparks]

Linked word: Light

Everybody sees me
But its not that easy
Standing in the light field
Standing in the light field
Waiting for some action
Waiting for some action
Why wont you come over here

Why wont you come over here
We've got a city to love
Why wont you come over here
We've got a city to love

Old time grudges
Will die so slowly
I know you miss the
Way I saw you
And cold
You're so cold
You're so cold
You're so cold

Juicebox - The Strokes (one of my favorite bass lines ever

[Paint the Sky]

linked phrase = over here

All you got is this moment
The twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that's okay

So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
That makes me sweat

Need you tonight - Inxs

[noho]

Linked word = sweat

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you’ll find someone like you
'Cause there’s a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I’ve other things to do
I leave again
'Cause I’ve been waiting in vain
But you’re so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won’t repeat it no more


"Poem To A Horse" - Shakira

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: vain

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and


You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

"You're So Vain" - Carly Simon

[Paint the Sky]

linked word = coffee

You drink your coffee and,
I sip my tea and we're,
sitting here, playing so cool thinking "what will be, will be"

It's getting kinda late now.
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now or,
will you just politely say "goodnight".

I move a little closer to you,
not knowing quite what to do and I'm,
feeling all fingers and thumbs.
I spill my tea, oh silly me!

Will You - Hazel O'Connor

[Sparks]

Linked word: fingers

Well I think that there's a problem here
Her voice just don't sound right
But I left myself on the answering machine
Said "I'm back in town tonight."
I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
All squint-eyed and confused
But even babies raised by wolves
They know exactly when they've been used

See when it starts to fall apart
Man, it really falls apart
Like boots or hearts when they starts it really falls apart

Fingers and toes fingers and toes
Forty things we share
Forty one if you include the fact that we don't care
Now you've blocked most of main street
For your faith parade
Well everyone in town now they'll probably all agree
I'm lying in the bed I made

Boots or Hearts - The Tragically Hip

[hermitfish]

linked word = wolves

Then winter came and there was little left between us
Skin and bones of love won¹t make a meal
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder
There were wolves at the edge of the field

But I still remember that time when we were dancing
We were dancing to a song that I¹d heard
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
I was singing without knowing the words

Josh Ritter - "Wolves"

[Paint the Sky]

linked word = eyes

i choose my friends only far too well
i'm up on the pavement, they're all down in the cellar
with their government grants and my i.q.
they brought me down to size, academia blues
louise is a girl, i know her well
she's up on the pavement, yes she's a weather girl
and i'm staying up here so i may be undone
she's inappropriate, but then she's much more fun and
when she smiles my way
my eyes go out in vain
she's got perfect skin

Perfect Skin - Lloyd Cole and The Commotions

[Zodiax]

Linked Word = Government

Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent
I gave all my money to the government
I don't know quite how it got spent
but the banks are coming for my deed though
Man at the mill can't see though
Let me get my feed for free though
Ain't that the way it is

I cut out down a braver road
I traded my stock for a V84
Danced for town down on the floor boards
And the title owed down to me though
That gasoline ain't free through
Just guzzling out my knee bone?
Ain't that the way it is


1922 Blues - Charlie Parr

[noho]

Linked word = summer

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head


"Summer In The City" - Lovin' Spoonful

[meretricious]

linked word = down

deep in the world tonight
our hearts beat safe and sound
I'll hold you so close
just let yourself go down

rip it up, move it down
rip it up, move it down to the ground

on the edge of oblivion
all the world is babylon


Wang Chung, everybody have fun tonight

[DreamLover]

linked word = tonight


Remember when we said, girl, "Please don’t go"
And how I’d be loving you forever
Taught you ’bout hangin’ tough as long as you got the right
stuff
Didn’t we, girls, ooh, didn’t we, girls, aah?

Well, I guess, it’s a brand new day after all
Every time we hear the curtain call
See the girls with the curls in the hair
The buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares
Tonight, tonight

Remember when we traveled 'round the world
And there were a lot of people and girls
Fan mail from everywhere showed us how you care
Didn’t it, girls, ooh, didn’t it, girls, aah?

Well, I guess, it’s a brand new day after all
Every time we hear the curtain call
See the girls with the curls in the hair
The buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
