Linked word: Monday


Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Manic Monday, Bangles

[hermitfish]

linked word = bed

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid
away?"

10,000 Maniacs - "Like the Weather"

[JustSkipIt]

linked word = sun

The Itsy Bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
and the Itsy Bitsy spider went up the spout again

Itsy Bitsy Spider -

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = rain

you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me
so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of
hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i
breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
and drab the hours all spent on killing time
again all waiting for the rain

The Cure, "Prayers for Rain"

[watty]

linked words = killing time

I know a girl who should never be alone
I know a girl who should never be alone
She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb

I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
Everytime she goes outside she barely gets home alive
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb

Oh yeah, and I can see the signs
Oh yeah, cause she's only killing time
Oh yeah, and she's not long for this world


"She's got a problem", Fountains of Wayne

[hermitfish]

linked word = alone

My envy
Of all you own
I want to be a possession you dust and won't let go

Gentlest touch
And sweetest sound
Something you'll run back in for when the house burns down

Alone
Alone doesn't feel so cold
Alone
Alone doesn't feel so cold

'Cause your arms
Your arms they don't feel so warm

Trespassers William - "Alone"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - house

I got a bus and a trailer at my house
My house
I'll show you the ropes, kid
Show you the ropes

I bought fifteen cases for my house
My house
All the furniture
Is in the garage

Well Daft Punk is playing at my house
My house
You got to set them up, kid
Set them up

LCD Soundsystem - "Daft Punk is Playing at My House"

[Foomatic]

linked words = In the garage

I’ve got the dungeon master’s guide.
I’ve got a twelve sided die.
I’ve got kid pride.
And nightcrawler too, waiting there for me, yes I do.
I do.

I’ve got posters on the wall.
My favorite rock group Kiss.
I got Ace Freely.
I’ve got Peter Chris, waiting there for me, yes I do.
I do.

In the garage, I feel safe.
No one cares about my ways.
In the garage, where I belong.
No one hears me sing this song.
In the garage.


In The Garage, Weezer

[hermitfish]

linked words = Peter, wall

Walking through the high dry grass, pushing my way through slow
Yellow belly black snake, sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go
Sugar train stops at the crossing, cane cockies cursing below
Bad storm coming, better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley below
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

Midnight Oil - "King of the Mountain"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=bedroom

Into every young man's
bedroom you gave it up.
On dvd and magazine
you gave it up.
A private rite of passage
you gave it up.
To every boy's sweet dream
with their paper cuts.
You said "he's got a
healing machine,
it glows in the dark,
glows in the dark."
You say "there's not a lot
of me
left anymore,
just leave it alone.
But if you're by, and you have
the time, tell the northern
lights to keep shining, lately
it seems like they're drowning."

Tori Amos- Amber Waves

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = dark

The reflex is an only child, he’s waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn’t that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
Question mark

Duran Duran - "The Reflex"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - child

He threw me in the needle bed,
across my dress he lay
he held my hands above my head
and I commenced to pray.

I cried My God, I am your child
send your angels down
Then feelin' with my fingertips,
the bottle neck I found

I drew that glass across his neck
as fine as any blade,
and I felt his blood run fast and hot
around me where I laid.

Gillian Welch - "Caleb Meyer"

[hermitfish]

linked word = down

Rocks in my pockets and the devil on my back
Rocks in my pockets and the devil on my back
You won't even come across the tracks

Balled out wasted and I feel I'm going down
Balled out wasted and I feel I'm going down
Goodbye darling, I've been good 'til now

Gillian Welch - "Good 'Til Now"

[watty]

linked word = darling

Do you know where you wanna go?
I ain't got time for you now
Do you think, that I'll ever be?

Cuz all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darling?


"Fallin' down", Goo Goo Dolls
[br]

[Tues]

linked word = chance

Was it destiny
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance? Could this be Kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear

When we play at cards you use an extra sense (it's really not cheating)
You can read my hand, I've got no defense
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear
I am always touched by your presence dear


"Presence, Dear", Blondie

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = dance

You can't get to sleep and you can't stay awake
You're living your life like you're doing time
Hey - happy birthday - have another piece of cake
Have another cup of tea or a bottle of wine

Ah, cuz the boogie man'll get ya
Ah, when you're lying in your bed
Pull the pillow off your head
You Might As Well Dance

Patty Larkin, "Might As Well Dance"

[the hero factor]

Linked words = Happy Birthday

Well, outside in the hall there's a catfight
It's well after midnight
I guess I'll be alright
I'm laid out on the floor
Drunk and poor
How much longer how much more

Rock me to sleep
Strong and deep.
The screaming cats they give me the creeps
But aside from all that I feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stains
Neon in the window
Sirens far away
News on the radio Happy Birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

"Happy Birthday" Concrete Blonde

[watty]

linked word = screaming

Everything's different
My head in the clouds

I hit this corner
With my foot on the gass
I started sliding, I lose it
Everything's different just like that

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me?
Frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
So damn lucky, when went on ahead
You say, you say
I see you later
I heard what you said a few minutes later
I'm sliding
Everything's different, again


"So damn lucky", Dave Matthews Band
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = minutes

I spend the days with my vanity

I'm lost in heaven and I'm lost to earth
Didn't give you minutes not even moments
All my life in a tower of foil
Shaded feelings, I don't believe you

When you were there before my eyes
No one planned it took it for granted

I count the hours since you slipped away
I count the hours that I lie awake
I count the minutes and the seconds too
All I stole and I took from you

Prefab Sprout - "Bonny"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=eyes

When you hear the music you make a dip
into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hanging out by the state line,
turning holy water into wine,
bringing it down.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip,
reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there so
say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Now I close my eyes,
and I wonder why
I don't despise.
Now all I can do
is love what was once,
so alive and new.
But it's gone from your eyes,
I'd better realize.

Billy Idol- Eyes Without a Face

[DscoAkane]

linked word - wine

Fine wine and champagne
Or just kicking it with Jim Beam
It's all good
It all goes down the same to me

Well I remember yesterday
kicking back and drinking all my worries away
all the stuff people always say
when we did it we always did it in style
we were making unbreakable bonds we could never replace
and if you stabbed me you did it to my face
I hope you'll always have a drink with me

Royal Bliss - "Fine Wine"

[Tues]

linked word = champagne

I met her in a club down in old Soho
where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Cherry Cola
C-O-L-A Cola.
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy,
but when she squeesed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola

"Lola", the Kinks

[watty]

linked word = missing

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say

"Missing you", John Waite
[br]

[Tues]

linked word = heart

And I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing.
Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something?
I haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get?
Maybe this is as good as it gets.

And years may go by, but I think the heart remains a child.
The mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child.
I think the heart remains a child.

"Heart Remains a Child", Everything But the Girl

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: glory

I'm heading out off the front steps
Didn't think she would wake yet
But her voice says, "Daddy, do you think you could give me a ride?"
We plumb familiar city
The club is new but it's gritty
She takes my arm and I let her lead me inside.

A voice that's lovely and different
The music carries her intent
I feel her hand on my elbow and I let her steer.
I catch her profile in side view
She turns and says "I can see you
And I always knew there'd be a road back to here."

Beautiful, my little Glory
You'll always be my baby girl
Won't you let me hear your story
Beautiful, my little Glory
You'll always be my baby girl
I am following your story
I am leaving you the world.

"The Day I Let Glory Steer" - the Nields

[hermitfish]

linked word = story

Picked a girl up at the trainstop where I live
Take a drive along the beach by the ocean
Talk about the dreams we had while we were growing old
Wrote a poem on the back of her shoulder

Tell me your name
Tell me your story
Cause I'm into it
Runnin' through life like a misfit

Elefant - "Misfit"

[Tues]

linked words = growing old

I feel out of place
Just look at my face
Stuck in the mud
Knee-deep in blood girl

Eyes, blind fold
You never said I'm growing old

I'm so glad to have you
And it's getting worse
I'm so mad to love you
And your evil curse


"Blindfold", Morcheeba

[watty]

linked word = mad

I'm mad about you
You're mad about me babe
Couple of fools run wild aren't we
Pushing the day into the nighttime
Somewhere between the two
We start to see

Mad about you (Mad about you)
Lost in your eyes (Reason aside)
Mad about love (Mad about you)
You and I

Something 'bout you
Right here beside me
Touches the touched part of me like I can't believe
Pushing the night into the daytime
Watching the sky's first light
While the city sleeps


"Mad about you", Belinda Carlisle
[br]

[DscoAkane]

linked word - light

I can't explain I just don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me

Yes I know
What I'm asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

Belinda Carlisle - "Leave a Light on For Me"

[hermitfish]

linked word = waiting

I reach across an empty bed
I hear your whisper in my ear
But like the sun without the moon
It’s half a dream without you here
The train that takes you from me
Brings somebody home

Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they’ll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
Half your world is waiting here for you

Belinda Carlisle - "Half the World"
