Linked word = colors

Vincent also known as Starry, Starry Night by Don Mclean

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

Ariel

[EasierSaid]

linked word = day

What remains of the day
Remains to be seen
By the TV that we never turn on
Each other's enough
I never had it so rough
Ever since I been gone


"Jagged" - Old 97s

[gorn]

linked word = TV

See that cat?
Down on her back
See that cat?
Down on her back
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me

- Iggy Pop, "TV Eye"

[EasierSaid]

linked word = back

I'm noted for that hardcore rap
Non-fiction and pure fact
For that neck-breaking bounce like you traveling on horseback
What your jaws yap?
It's consequential
Get your jaws tapped
I made you draw back
No need to question what caused that

"Don't Get It Twisted" - Jigmastas

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Linked word = pure

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 your 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

[EasierSaid]

linked word - face

I've been away for so long
I've lost my taste for home
And that's a dirty fallow feeling
To be the dangling ceiling
From when the roof came crashing down
Peeling in the heat
Vanish in the rain
The next time you say forever, I will punch you in your face
Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean I didn't mean it

"The Next Time you Say 'Forever'" - Neko Case

[Füchsin]

Linked word = time

So many cards that never leave the deck
There comes a time when you have to place your bets
And I've never been a gambling man
But if you want to see my hand
Ask me now and I won't hesitate

'Cause I'm fearful of heights and you take me higher
What came with you was a view to admire
I've always been the kind to contemplate
But you like the kind that don't hesitate

Excuse me while I fall for you

"Hesitate" - Steve Moakler

[Ariel]

SOMEWHERE - Music by Leonard Bernstein with Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Linked word = place

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

[hermitfish]

linked word = halfway

How to get to fivepoints
Make the wrong turn you'll know
If you're thinking of going
Think no more

Who's taking you down there
What's his name
Let me know
The price he offers
Round the corner of love

Halfway to fivepoints
Is as far as you'll come
Halfway with high hopes
Of love

Anna Ternheim - Halfway to Fivepoints

[Ariel]

linked word=make

Under Your Spell

I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I’m bathed in light
Something just isn't right

I’m under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power shone
Brighter than any I’ve known

I’m under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true

You made me believe

The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I’m under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me

(I know we're not supposed to do the whole song, but cutting this one seemed very, very wrong to me!)

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

[noho]

Linked word = shadow

The graveyard
The graveyard
All full of light
The only age
The beating heart
Is empty of life
Dirt and grass
A shadow heart
The moon sails past
Blood as ice
Is an empty crisis
Lonely it lies


"Graveyard" - Feist

[EasierSaid]

linked word - moon

Two blue lights
One's the blue light of the late night bus
One's the blue light of the moon over us
One's got the diesel fuel on her breath
One's got the damp taste of the Earth on it
Two blue lights

"Two Blue Lights" - Songs: Ohia

[meretricious]

Linked word =blue

Cathedrals blue and stark in shape
Twilight explodes on the interstate
These trains rumble by through night and day
All back and forth they don’t escape
Yeah you’re beautiful, my last wish
Your bracelet swung on my fingertips
I leaned in close, I kissed your lips
We almost seemed to float

Matthew Ryan, Love is the Silencer

[EasierSaid]

linked word - twilight

The heat walks against me
It's real quiet here
Real pretty
Walking up and down
And in this twilight
Everyone looks like they're here
Talk more sense
As the night stretches on

"Heat Walks Against Me" - Seafood

[Kajun]

linked word= like

She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me wanna rewind
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again (yeah)

"Psycho" by: Puddle of Mudd

[hermitfish]

linked word = gun

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you

It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse

And is that alright? Yeah
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright? Yeah
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?

Daimen Rice - "9 Crimes"

[Babbles4Twillow]

Linked word = excuse

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

- Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

[EasierSaid]

linked word = Down


Squeezing your wrist she's pulling you closer
Down where the devils are dying with laughter
Then led to a place where there's no form of pleasure
She blows you a kiss from her lips


"She's Your Baby" - Ween

[Kajun]

linked word = kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside, oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating, you got me flying

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah subliminal
This kiss, this kiss,
It's criminal
This kiss, this kiss



"This Kiss" Faith Hill

[LikeAnAmazon]

Linked word = rain

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

Stand in the Rain by Superchick~

[EasierSaid]

linked word = alone

In me the scientist
Always stuck on always trying this
I try to live on science alone
Analysis and freaky sensitivity
We've gotta live on science alone

"I am a Scientist" - The Dandy Warhols

[Kajun]

linked word = science

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres're in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And hit me with technology

"Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!"
I - I don't believe it!
There she goes again!
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions

"She Blinded Me With Science" - Thomas Dolby

[EasierSaid]

linked word = love

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

"Both Sides Now" - Joni Mitchell

[Kajun]

Linked word= Shake

You know you twist your little girl (Twist, little girl)
You know you twist so fine (Twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (Twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine (Let me know you're mine)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)


"Twist and Shout" The Beatles ... Ferris Bueller!!

[Laragh]

Linked word: mine:

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap you thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours

The Script - I'm Yours

[Kajun]

Linked word = walls

Inside, I built the walls
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground

And I swore to me
I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time
I let someone in

But you, had me from "Hello", and I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start, you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go

"You Had Me At Hello" Kenny Chesney

[EasierSaid]

linked word - never

I wanted to tell him I was his dad
And he sure had a pretty mom
But the judge had said
I could never see them
For the things I'd said and done
See the big man cry, mama
That's what I heard him say
See the big man cry, mama
He looks like his heart will break

"See the Big Man Cry" - Charlie Louvin

[Kajun]

Linked word = Pretty

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

"Take A Chance On Me" ABBA

[noho]

Linked word = around

Second time around
I'm still believing
Words that you said
You said you'd always be here
In love forever
Still repeats in my head
You can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart


"Promises, Promises" - Naked Eyes

[EasierSaid]

linked word - still

And I was heading up north
To a place that I know
Eating well
Sleeping well
But still I was way
Way out of line
Amsterdam was stuck on my mind


"Amsterdam" - Peter Bjorn and John
