[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: face

And now I speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes
But you are not her
And we go at each other like blank-ettes
Who can't find their thread and their bare

Can't stop loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And i see it coming
And it's on its way

"Bells for Her" - Tori Amos (my imaginary future padded cell roomie)

[watty]

linked word = bare

walked on the stones
then sank through these oceans
heaven's fields laid bare
i'd give up the ghosts
locked up inside me
if i ever once had cared


"thrown to the wolves" -- four star mary
[br]

[angel of salvation]

linked word: heaven

oh thinking about how young he is
there was only you and me
we were young and wild and free
now nothing can take you away form me
we've been down that road before
thats over now, you keep me cmoing back for more

baby you're all that I want
when your lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
we're in heaven
and love is all that I need
and I found it there is your heart
it is n't to hard to see
we're in heaven

DJ Sammy's Version of Heaven by Brian Adams

Jess xxx

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = young, free

Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said that done, when I just can't break away
Just can't break away

Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
Hmmm, my man and me
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
I said I don't love you

Young Hearts Run Free - Kim Mazelle and others

[Tues]

linked words = true, thousand, day

And I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge, last night half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day as we went rolling through
Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do

“Return of the Grievous Angel” – Gram Parsons & Emmy Lou Harris

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = devil

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band - In my head this will forever conjure the vision of a bunch of very wet women dancing on a bar....

[Kaia]

linked word = deal

my foundation was rocked
my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
my departures were old
I stood in the room shaking in my boots
at that particular time love had challenged me to stay
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
that particular month I was ready to investigate with you
at that particular time

we thought a break would be good
for four months we sat and vacillated
we thought a small time apart
would clear up the doubts that were abounding
at that particular time love encouraged me to wait
at that particular moment it helped me to be patient
that particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant

I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
and yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
and in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself….

That particular time - Alanis Morissette

[watty]

linked word = boots

You keep saying you've got something for me
something you call love, but confess
You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you


"These boots are made for walking" -- Nancy Sinatra
[br]

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = best

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes ’round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it’s all a big surprise
’cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You’d tell me this was love
It’s not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it’s enough

And now we’re standing face to face
Isn’t this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Save The Best For Last - Vanessa Williams

[Kaia]

linked word = love

My love,
There’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s bright

My first love,
You’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make

And i
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Endless love - Lionel Richie & Diana Ross

[Candleshoe]

linked word = eyes

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Don't it make my brown eyes blue - Crystal Gayle

[watty]

linked word = cry

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.


"Cry" -- James Blunt
(This is playing on the James Blunt station on my Rhapsody, how convenient)
[br]

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = shoulder

And there ain't no telling what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway
With no one to share my load
And cry on the shoulder of the road.

Cry on the Shoulder of the Road - Martina McBride

[Kaia]

linked word = cry

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

One last cry - Brian McKnight

[Candleshoe]

Linked words = living, lie

He sits alone at a table in a small cafe
Drowning his tears in a bottomless cup of coffee
And hes tumbling into his thoughts
His memories are all tied in knots
And who is going to save him
No one wants to know him

I cant believe that you'd pull on a sleeve when you cry
You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life
Live the lie
And we all have a saviour
So do yourself a favour
Stop living the lie

Stop Living The Lie - David Sneddon - no, i don't think 'coffee' rhymes with 'cafe' either...and what on earth does the line about pulling on sleeves actually mean?

[DscoAkane]

linked word - coffee

Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'Til the words start slurring
And you can't find the door

So give me Coffee and TV
Peacefully
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Blur - "Coffee and TV"

[Foomatic]

linked words = take me away

I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly

I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds good to me

I said
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you

Cowboy Take Me Away, Dixie Chicks

[Tues]

linked words = blue, girl, arms

Well it’s Saturday night you’re all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out left somebody’s heart in a mess
Well if you’re looking for love honey I’m tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan or some good-lookin’ Joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin’ Romeo
Well ’round here baby I learned you get what you can get
So if you’re rough enough for love honey I’m tougher than the rest

“Tougher Than the Rest” – Bruce Springsteen (I prefer the Everything But the Girl version)

[Boadecia]

Linked word- Blue

Night falls
I fall
And where were you?
And where were you?

Warm skin
Wolf grin
And where were you?

I fell into the moon
And it covered you in blue
I fell into the moon
Can I make it right?
Can I spend the night?

High tide
Inside
The air is dew
And where were you?

Blue- Angie Hart

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = where

Rain falling down
Another minute passes by
I wait for you
But this time I won't cry
Where are you now
Are you with another love
It's not the first time
You stood me up and let me down

I, I I'm wondering why
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi

Je ne sais pas pourquoi - Kylie Minogue (I know all the words, *sigh*)

[Tues]

linked words = wait, down, time

In my lovers arms I wait for morning
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body, I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm

In my happy home I read the signs
In my lovers arms I move in time
There's no more crying and there's no more lies
I never once in my sweet short life was waiting for desire

"Happy Home" - Garbage

[watty]

oooooh, let's do the linked word and artist again.


linked word = arms

You walked into the room
The sun hit my eyes
The force you struck me down caught me by surprise
You sprung the mojo and it worked like a charm
I felt invincible with you in my arms

I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die


"Till the day I die" -- Garbage
[br]

[Candleshoe]

OK - I will take up your challenge Watson!

Linked word = force

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else

I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
And it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

Medication - Garbage

[Tues]

Watson & Candleshoe, I see a 'game's afoot'!

linked word - home

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me

You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know

"You Look So Fine" - Garbage

[Foomatic]

The gauntlet has been thrown.


linked words = waste, like


I’ll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep’s clothing

I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I’m waiting for my moment

You come on like a drug
I just can’t get enough
I’m like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there’s so much at stake
I can’t afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before


Temptation Waits, Garbage

[watty]

linked word = enough


This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do
Or take from me

Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable

You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe
And you're not risking enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one
To bring you down

It's all your fault
Cause you got caught

Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable


"Untouchable" -- Garbage
[br]

[Tues]

I fear we may kill this thread... time to release the 'game,' so have at it Kittens.

linked words = think, down

It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying

Do you really think I'm made of stone baby?
C'mon!
That we only love the things we own?
Baby you're wrong

Certain things just happen when you make no plans
And love can really tear you up and it can break you down
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong

"It's All Over But The Crying" - Garbage

[the hero factor]

This is me, having at it.

Linked word = wrong

Hello
Is it late there
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure ya there alone
Cos I'm trying to explain
Somethings wrong
You just don't sound the same
Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside

"Kiss the Rain" -Billie Meyers

[DscoAkane]

linked word - explain

Something you say at your peril
Something you should have contained
it's a truth for the dark and a pillow
turn down the light I'll explain
turn down the light I'll explain

it's the obvious truth in the morning
bitten back as the sun turns to rain
to the rain, to the dark, to the pillow
turn down the light I'll explain
turn down the light I'll explain

CC Railroad - "I'll Explain"

[Foomatic]

linked word = truth

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I don't think that I'm afraid anymore say that I would rather
die trying

Woh-oh
Swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you
Pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips

Truth No. 2, Dixie Chicks
