[watty]

linked word = fortune

Risin' up, back on the street
Took my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger


"Eye of the tiger," Survivor
[br]

[Foomatic]

linked word = fight

You wake up late for school - man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?" - but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes - and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk

You gotta fight for your right to party

Your pop caught you smoking - and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite - smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (busted!)

You gotta fight for your right to party


Fight For Your Right (To Party), Beastie Boys

[Insanity]

linked word: party

I'm comin' up so you better you better
get the party started

Get this party started on a saturday night
Everybody's waitin for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all my friends
We'll be lookin flashy in my mercedes benz
I got lotsa style,got my diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what i mean
i'm comin' up so you better you better
get this party started

Get this Party started - P!NK

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: snow

Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups

But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay

Old dirt road
Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old

"Mushaboom" by Feist

[watty]

linked word = floor

With hand on heart
You right from the start
You taught me to take my part

No cross to bear
No reason to care
My life was all up in air

Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear
I could have it all, whenever you are near


"Four to the floor," Starsailor
[br]

[DscoAkane]

linked word - heart

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It’s a sound that makes me cry..
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don’t know why..

I wish I didn’t feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you..
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star..

Boy Meets Girl - "Waiting for the Star to Fall"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=sound

Look up, I look up at night.
planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees.
every chance that you get
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand
with my head stuck under the sand?
I start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, all that sound,
all those places that I have found....
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand.

Coldplay- Speed of Sound

[the hero factor]

Linked word = understand

Well, I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify, and I wanna know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down
Again and again
And when I ask you to explain
You say you gotta be

Cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you
Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind

"Cruel to Be Kind" -Letters to Cleo

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = cruel

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
strange voices are saying (ah what did they say)
Things I can't understand
It's too close to comfort this heat has got right out of hand

it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one

Cruel, Cruel Summer - Bananarama

[watty]

linked word = streets (and Siobhan Fahey)

woke up this morning and the streets were full of cars
all bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from mars
and as i stumbled through last nights drunken debris
the paperboy screamed out the headlines in the street

another war and now the pound is looking weak
and tell me have you read about the latest freak?
we're bingo numbers and our names are obsolete
why do i feel bitter when i should be feeling sweet

hello, hello turn your radio on
is there anybody out there?
help me sing my song
la la la life is a strange thing
just when you think you learned how to use it
it's gone


"Hello (turn your radio on)," Shakespear's sister
[br]

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: sweet

With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I, I have heard
That you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play, anyway that you want.
But first I want, I want to know

Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail"

"Sweet the Sting" - Tori Amos

[DscoAkane]

linked word - play

I could be proud of things I have done
Pretend I don't have to try to be someone
I could say that I've done it all before
I could get wiser, I could get jaded
I could remember, I could just fade away
In a game that anyone can play

Husker Du - "Games"

[hermitfish]

linked word = pretend

Oh I know how it's been
You have curtains when the day ends
And I feel you like a thorn
But it feels right our loose entwined
And i wonder how it'd be
If you'd not go
If you'd ask to
Stay

Stay for all the days you can count
Pretend that there's nowhere else
Feel and speak and cry and hold
Pretend that you're someone else

Trespassers William - "Stay, There's Nowhere Else"

[watty]

linked word = stay

I think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sitting in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slight of my mother's hand
I think I'm gonna stay home

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-Z now
You'll never find me cause my name isn't there

Home life
Been holding out for a home life
My whole life


"Home life," John Mayer
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = Mother's

Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing

I say Charles don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?

And so I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
of some old queen or other


The Smiths - "The Queen Is Dead"

[the hero factor]

Linked word = wonderful

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

"Wonderful" -Everclear

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = scream

I would've kept me eyes shut
But I thought I heard you scream
And I've a penchant for violence
You don't seem to find in a dream

The scene a little clearer
My father with a rope
And in the cage, centre-stage
It's mother who's destined to choke

The Beautiful South, "I Should've Kept My Eyes Shut"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=violence

Raindogs howl for the century,
a million dollars a steak.
As you search for your demi-god,
and you fake with a saint.
There's no sex in your violence.
Try to see it once my way.
Everything zen, everything zen,
I don't think so.
Everything zen, everything zen,
I don't think so.

Bush- Everything Zen

[DscoAkane]

linked word -century

He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
So we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Blur - "For Tomorrow"

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: sick

I can't take it anymore
This it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And alll the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
Oh I feel so tired...

And the way the rain comes down hard,
That's how I feel inside.

"Open" - the Cure

[hermitfish]

linked word = people

People I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down, they're on the inside
Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me, showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for

Sundays - "Here's Where the Story Ends"

[the hero factor]

Linked word =should

Hold me down to anything
Anything that you see
I should walk away right now
I'll be there, so nevermind
I'll be the one to fall
Waiting for you to look up at me


Oh I love you the most
Always giving up the ghost
In your own private conversation
You're a sweet mystery
There is nothing in between
You and the Mona Lisa

"You and the Mona Lisa" -Shawn Colvin

[watty]

linked words = mona lisa

The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
And you
You talked of politics, philosophy and I
Smiled like Mona Lisa
We had our chance
It was a fine and true romance

I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain


"Our last summer," Abba
[br]

[abtotallyrules]

Linked word - memories, right, you, I

Here come the memories of yesterday
Here's the poetry, of all those things I couldn't even say
You can only wait so long
Before your flower petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
Ain't nobody crying for what used to be home

You can only wait
You can only wait so long
You can only wait
You can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
You can only wait so long

Hanson - Bridges of Stone[/b]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = flower

Understanding the meaning of struggle
Giving your whole life to a single passion
Which others may or may not
Consider obsolete

Like a rare flower
Seen by a few before it withers and dies
(before it withers and dies)
Seeing it all
All the way through the very end
Regardless

A full stop followed by an exclamation mark
Written in your flesh and blood
Getting knocked down every time
Getting knocked down every moment
you get up - until you love getting up

Killing Joke - "Struggle"

[DscoAkane]

linked words - flesh and blood

I leaned against a Bark of Birch
And I breathed the Honey Dew
I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese
Against a Sky of Baby Blue
Beside the Lily Pads
I carved a Whistle from a Reed;
Mother Nature's quite a Lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.

Johnny Cash - "Flesh and Blood"

[watty]

linked word = lady

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen


"Lay, lady, lay," Bob Dylan
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked words = ever seen

Well oh, Lukey's boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green,
The prettiest boat that you've ever seen
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Great Big Sea, "Lukey"

[meretricious]

linked word = painted

such a picture of loveliness
didn't you notice the resemblance?
doesn't it look like she could speak?
those eyes i tried to capture
they are lost to me now forever
they smile for someone else

funny how looks can be deceiving
but she's not easily painted from memory

elvis costello "painted from memory"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - resemblance

Another fella told me, he had a sister that looked so fine.
Instead of being my deliverance,
she had a strong resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein Ohh

Another Saturday Night and I ain't got nobody,
I have some money ‘cause I just got paid.
How I wish I had someone to talk to,
I'm in an awful way.

Sam Cooke - "Another Saturday Night"
