Linked words=saturday night

Never would commit to nothing,
never would give in to the love-thing,
you know, you're gonna end with nothing to show,
and now you gotta go,
you say opportunity's knocking.
It's gonna be a let down saturday night
since you told her she wasn't in your plans.
You used to say the love of your life
was the money in your hand,
now, you're a troubled man.

Wanderlust- Troubled Man

[the hero factor]

Linked word = life

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

"Walk of Life" -Dire Straits

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = Johnny

Johnny my love,
Get out of the business,
It makes me want to
Rough you up so badly.
Makes me want to
Roll you up in plastic,
Toss you up
And pump you full of lead.

"Dance of the Seven Veils," Liz Phair

[watty]

linked word = love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love


"Tainted love," Soft Cell
[br]

[the hero factor]

Linked words = we share

If you offered me a shade of blue
would I return it saying that it was too
dark or light?
Or would I see it for the precious thing
that it might one day be?
Hold on to me

If you offered me a point of view
would I dismiss it saying that it was too
black and white?
Or would I see it as the special thing
That it would no doubt be?
Hold on to me

I'll hold on to this gift we share
it is as slippery as it is rare
I'll hold on to that feeling
of waking and finding you there
I'll hold on to you and you hold on to me

"Hold On to Me" -Cowboy Junkies

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = blue

The sky’s been grey every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin’ somewhere... beyond the blue
My eyes were red when you said that we were through
But now I can see better days for me... just beyond the blue

Beyond the blue... on the other side of lonely
And it’s only a matter of time... until i’m
Lookin’ back and feelin’ like I’m over you
When these tears are gone and I’m beyond the blue

Beyond the Blue - Martina McBride

[hermitfish]

linked word = time

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore

Nick Drake - "Time Has Told Me"

[Foomatic]

linked words = not, ask for more

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I Could Not Ask For More, Edwin McCain

[watty]

linked words = I'm alive

This ain't a song for the broken hearted
A silent prayer for faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't going to live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frank, he said "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life


"It's my life," Bon Jovi

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words: Broken, hearted, my

It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...
All the schemes that you dream about
Won't matter at all when you wake up alone.
And if she really haunts you now
Just pick up the phone.. but, you know you won't.


Ghost of the Robot - Mefiant

[Foomatic]

linked words = all, schemes, dream

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Real Love, Beatles

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words - forgotten, toys, all, my, you

Many's the times that you've hurt me
That's just the way that you live
Many a time is forgotten
But I never said that I can forgive

So baby don't cry, cry me a river
And baby don't try to wash over me yeah
Baby don't cry my ship is now sailin'
And I've wasted all my time in your sea
And I've wasted all my time in your sea

Now that your toys have been broken
I guess you want company
There is no point in you callin'
Cuz I'm headed for my own destiny

Uncle Kracker - Baby Don't Cry

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=broken

The worst is over now and we can breathe again,
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away.
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight,
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
and I don’t feel like I am strong enough.
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
and I don’t feel right when you’re gone away.

Seether featuring Amy Lee- Broken

[DscoAkane]

linked word - fight

Oh Kim
Remember when
We had a million plans and we believed them.
Angry words ring in my head
I'd give every song I got in me
To get it back again.

She said, I could
She said hold on, hold out
Cause it's good.
She said you're right.
She said hold on, hold out
Cause I know that you can fight.

Concrete Blonde - "Song For Kim"

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words: remember, million, when, me

I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much


Luther Vandross - Never Too Much


Oh its such a shame he died, the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, R.I.P Luther

[justin]

linked words: day, night

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea


I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.

The lumberjack song - Monty Python's Flying Circus

[the hero factor]

Linked word = work

I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in, in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
Take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now

"Top of the World" -The Dixie Chicks

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words : disappearing, inside

I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = enemy

Oh, my beautiful enemy, beautiful
I send my scorn and ridicule
You're not innocent
No, not innocent
No one's innocent

Dar Williams, "Beautiful Enemy"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = ridicule

Don’t you ever, don’t you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you’re handsome
Don’t you ever, don’t you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you’re handsome

Prince charming
Prince charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Don’t you ever, don’t you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you’re handsome

Don’t you ever, don’t you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards
Don’t you ever, don’t you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Prince charming
Prince charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of

Adam & The Ants - "Prince Charming"

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words : standards, don't

I don't rap for dead presidents : I'd rather see the president dead
It's never been said but I set precedents in the standards
And they can't stand it
My name should've been b*stard
This sh*t should've been plastered on my forehead with a stamp
I should've been blasted
I should've been had a cap put in my *ss
But I'm too swift and fast for that
One b*stard
I'm too old to cruise Gratiot f*ck that sh*t
I done seen how fast this rap sh*t can turn into some Pap-Pap sh*t
That quick
Snap CLICK
But this time they got the fuckin Auto-ma-tic
Aint no one Gon' test this Mon'

We as a Americans
Us as a Citizen
Gotta protect ourselves
Look at how sh*t has been
We better check ourselves
Livin up in these streets
Through worse and through better health
Surviving by any means
We as Americans
Us as a citizen
We as Samaritans
What do we get us in
We better check ourselves
Look at how sh*t has been
Take a look where you live
This is America
And we are Americans

Eminem - We as Americans

[DscoAkane]

linked word - swift

But we've seen a cloud of starlings rising on a crisp autumn day.
We were handed the weight of a child sleeping and bore her away.
We've tasted the tears that fall when saying goodbye forever.
And we've seen the silver from a waxing moon wash upon the shore.

I have heard about the lives of small swift birds.
They dazzle with their colour and their deftness through the air.
Just a simple glimpse will keep you simply standing there.
Legendary journeys made on fragile hollow wings.
The night skies rich with whistling each and every spring.
And then there's the day we look for them and can't find them anywhere.


Cowboy Junkies - "Small Swift Birds"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = silver

I got to get a message through,
I don't know where we're going.
I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders,
take cover for the night.
I see you in the morning rain,
oh step inside and lay beside me.
Tender can you close my eyes and blind me,
oh give me just a smile...

Before I fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.
Before I fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.

Silver Blue - Roxette

[Smilis]

Linked word - morning

We all begin with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear

I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

Fallen - Sarah McLachlan

[Foomatic]

linked words = I told you so

Do what I want cause I can and if I don't
Because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve cause I give and receive
Because I wanna
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so
I do believe I told you so



Hate To Say I Told You So, The Hives

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words : ignored, want

Loneliness is always looking for a friend
It found me once and it has been around since then
Loneliness is never waiting by the door
It sweeps right through and it will never be ignored
Why, why was I chosen?
Why am I left without?

The Love of my life, the love that I need
The love that they say is in life for free
The love of my dreams, the love that I want
Loneliness knows me by name

Westlife - Loneliness knows me by name

[hermitfish]

linked word = name

When you dropped me and you staked your claim
On a V.I.P. who could make your name
You latched on to him and I became
A minor inconvenience

Your protégé don't care about art
I'm the one who always told you you were smart
You broke my heart into smithereens
And that took genius

Warren Zevon - "Genius"

[watty]

linked words = broke my heart


Your skin is cold
But the sun shines within your hold
Your hair is gold
But you see through a goldfish bowl
I feel old, sick, and tired
We walk the streets
Gently staring, wondering what to do
The sun in sheets
Pouring down those streets to eyes green and blue
And a ship with eight sails could come round the bend
Or a heard of bulls charging stoplights red
I'd be blind

You broke my heart, Danny boy
Not your fault, danny boy
I was had at the doorstep
Played, like a two to a four-set
Had, like poor job in the bible by god


"Danny boy," Rufus Wainwright
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = boy

Being a boy is like sucking on a lemon
And I judge myself by the adverts I see
My deodorant hides the real me
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl, being a girl, being a girl, being a girl
And my life never tasted sweeter

I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep
Someone else warm, someone cooler
Tax on cigarettes, treats my cancer
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl, being a girl, being a girl, being a girl
And my life never tasted sweeter

Mansun - "Being A Girl"

[hermitfish]

linked word = girl

Well I'm goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl

Well I hate TV
There's gotta be somebody other than me
Who's ready to write it off immediately
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl

Marshall Crenshaw - "Cynical Girl"
