[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: shake

Do you know why I stop and stare
And smile when you walk by?
And how I call you up at night
I hang up the phone and I cry
If I never got to know you so well
Maybe I would be fine
Baby, you know that I can't tell
Why you should be, you should be mine

Shake your love
I just cant shake your love

"Shake Your Love" - the incomparable Debbie Gibson

[kisstheviolets]

This kitten is smitten...

you're kidding! who knew? you were so discreet!

Linked word: think

Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
It's when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger

I think about you on a moonlit night
And all the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to lose
There's never any time for sleep

"Stars All Seem to Weep" - Beth Orton

[dorksrcool]

Keeping with the theme....

Linked words-walk, away

Today there's a heaven,
tomorrow there's not.
And five, six and seven
are tied in a knot.
You stepped in the web
and now you're caught ...
I meant to meet you in that small, green room,
with three chairs and a table,
three forks and a spoon.
Someday I'll take you
for a walk on the moon ...
for a walk on the moon ...
Don't tell me who will stay or who will walk away.
Don't tell me who to love, I'll love you anyway.
I'll live my life,
the way I want to day by day.

Dayna Manning- A Walk on the Moon

[GayNow]

Linked words = the moon

Only Thing To Do Is Jump Over The Moon

I Gotta Get Out Of Here! It's Like I'm
Being Tied To The Hood Of A Yellow
Rental Truck, Being Packed In With
Fertilizer And Fuel Oil, Pushed Over A
Cliff By A Suicidal Mickey Mouse! - I've
Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Find A Way

Only Thing To Do Is
Jump Over The Moon

"Over the Moon" -- Idina Menzel in Rent

[DreamLover]

Linked words = Way

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around


"One Way Or Another" by Blondie

[Leafsdude]

Linked word: One

It's been,
One week since you looked at me,
Cocked you head to the side and said,
"I'm angry."
5 days since you laughed at me and said,
"Get back together, come back and see me."
3 days since the afternoon,
Realized it's all my fault,
Not a moment too soon,
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me,
But it'll still be 2 days til I say I'm sorry.

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink,
As I make you stop, think,
You think you're looking at aquaman.
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss,
I like the sushi,
'Cause it never touched the frying pan.
Hot like wassabe when I bust rhymes,
Just like Leann Rimes,
Because I'm all about value.
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits,
You try to match wits,
You try to hold me but I bust throw.

Gonna make a break and take a fake,
I like a stinkin' achin' shake,
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours.
Gonna see the show 'cause then you'll know,
Vertigo is gonna grow so it's so dangerous,
You'll have to sign a waiver.

I can't help it if I think you're funny when you're mad.
Trying hard not to smile though I'm feeling bad.
I'm the kind of guy that laughs at a funeral,
Can't understand what I mean,
Well, you soon will.
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleave,
I have a history of taking off my shirt.

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

[Tues]

I have an overwhelming desire to shout it out!!

linked words = come, watch, feel, show

Beat surrender -
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I care about (are packed into one punch)
All the things that I’m not sure about (are sorted out at once)

And as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end
That bullshit is bullshit, it just goes by different names

All the things that I shout about (but never act upon)
All the courage and the dreams that I have (but seem to wait so long)
My doubt is cast aside, watch phonies run to hide
The dignified don’t even enter in the game

And if you feel there’s no passion
No quality sensation
Seize the young determination
Show the fakers you ain’t foolin’
You’ll see me come runnin’
To the sound of your strummin’
Fill my heart with joy and gladness
I’ve lived too long in shadows of sadness

“Beat Surrender” – The Jam

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=shout

Shout,
shout,
let it all out,
these are things I can do without.
Come on,
I'm talking to you.
Come on.
In violent times,
you shouldn't have to sell your soul.
In black and white,
they really really ought to know.
Those one track minds
that took you for a working boy,
kiss them goodbye.
You shouldn't have to jump for joy.

Tears for Fears- Shout

[Tiggrscorpio]

linked word = without

There'll be spring every year without you.
England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.

Art and music will thrive without you.
Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plane down in Spain,
even that will remain without you.
I can do without you.

You, dear friend, who taught so well,
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire.

They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.

"Without You" - Audrey Hepburn - "My Fair Lady"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked words = in Spain

I had dinner with her mama
And her papa in Castile
They asked if I had kissed her
They told me I just missed her
Her mama gave a wink
And said she's with her sister in Seville

So take me away, big jet plane
So I can see my baby again
She's in Spain and I'm in pain
Boat's too slow and train don't go
And all I really know
Is that she's in Spain and I'm in pain
She's in Spain and I'm in pain

Richard Shindell, "She's in Spain and I'm in Pain"

[justin]

linked word = pain

i tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
i lay dying
and i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved
am i too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

Tourniquet - Evanescence

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = away

So, I prayed
But you weren't listening.
Making miracles?

So, I begged
But you were far away.
Saving souls perhaps?

So, I screamed
But she was very small
And you have worlds to mend

So, she died
And you were glorious
But you were somewhere else

If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no-one can find me
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no-one can help me
If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no-one can cure me
If you light my darkness
Then I'm blind and no-one can see me

Gary Numan - "A Prayer For The Unborn"

[watty]

linked word = climbing

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."


"Solsbury Hill" -- Peter Gabriel
[br]

[the hero factor]

Linked word = home

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

"Roll Me Away" -Bob Seger

[Tues]

linked – cry & feel

I don't cry anymore, I go out the door
And I usually keep on walking
I will sit in the bar where the cocktails are
But I really don't feel like talking

I lie around and let the darkness fall
'Cause I've got a sense of perfection
And nothing makes much sense at all

All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain
And all the dope in New York couldn't kill this pain
And all the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay
All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain

“All the Umbrellas in London” – The Magnetic Fields

[watty]

linked word = time

Your face when I try to explain
I didn't think you'd take it personally
I'm not saying every word in every line
Goes from the moment lost in time

You should know me better than that
If you wanted to leave I wouldn't look back
Guess what I'm really trying to say
Is I wouldn't paint this picture any other way


"Honesty" -- Alex Parks
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = picture

Nothing I can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing I can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

If I had one wish
I’d wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If I had one wish
I’d wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
I’ll sing this song and
I’ll say goodbye forever

Gary Numan - "A Child With The Ghost"

[Tues]

linked – ghost & away


You get your kicks from the ghost of a memory
So busy turning away from reality baby
That you just won’t let it go

But memories fade
Yeah they’re designed that way

But you’re so wrapped up in her you don’t see straight
Watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait
So tell her can’t you see?
You’re just turning yourself inside out for no need

This thing you’re using is worse then a photograph
It picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby
And it just won’t let you go

“Memories Are Designed to Fade” – Savage Garden

[watty]

linked words = inside out

I can feel the whole world spinning around
I'm losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
I'm losing touch with all reality
I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside
All I've got now in my defence is my innocence
I've been hypnotised


"Hypnotised" -- Simple Minds
[br]

[justin]

Linked word: World

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

[onelesstraveled]

linked word = beautiful

Beautiful secrets you guard them in your secret garden
You water and nurture them until they're bigger than life itself

But you can't always know what they will uncover on news
And you can't be too sure that your secret life won't show through

Beautiful speeches the lines that are preached here are only half-truth
Delicious like murder, one step and you're further than you could admit

"Beautiful Secrets" --- Sarah Blasko

[Alcy]

Linked word = news

Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose

It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."

We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense


Fall Out Boy, 'Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued'

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = my

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight by the fire
All alone you and i
Nothing around but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance
And it can’t walk
As long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Neil Diamond, "Forever in Blue Jeans"

[onelesstraveled]

linked word = fire

How long, how long, how long will we take to come undone?
If you know the answer tell me now and I'll write up a calendar for our count down.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?

Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
To me some surprising day, any day now...

"Any Day Now" --- Missy Higgins

[edgyqueen]

Linked word = Light

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.

It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.

Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Let the River Run
By Carly Simon

[Smilis]

Linked word = me

Dreaming
But I'm not sleeping
Or have I died
Died of life

Oh, how does it feel
Making love to me like you do

Tell me
Who would you be
Would you be me
The woman in me
Would you like to be
Under my skin
I'll let you in
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I want
I wanna know
What you're feeling
I wanna crawl under your skin
I wanna know how you feel in me
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Exploring
The taste I'm touching
You're watching
I'm watching you, Yeah

Tell Me - Billie Myers

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = whispers

Shattered dreams on a bed of lies
Now my love dies and cries
Cries and whispers

My heart grew wing under desert skies
Now my love dies and cries
Cries and whispers

And my heart sings of many things
In cries and whispers

Rain Tree Crow - "Cries and Whispers"

[watty]

linked word = cries

Falling from the western shore
To find yourselves alone again,
Wondering where you have been

Your lonely voice calls
across the starlit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain


"She cries your name" -- Beth Orton
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word: alone

If there's something you wanna do
You'll know when you've seen it through
Yeah, we live as we dream alone
But that's not all you've ever known

Stop, look, listen I can find you
I've been standing right beside you
You don't have to remind me
I know and I won't let go

And if you've taken me for someone who cares
Then there's a dream I know we both have shared
If I talked to you after all's been done
Then I know we'll find home where ever we've gone
You're not the only one.

Beth Orton - Live As You Dream

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = wanna

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.

Spice Girls, "Wannabe"
