[Tues]

linked words - drink, night, come, home, morning


When my feet go through the door
I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair
Up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night
Trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights
Moving legs in footless tights

I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

I like to venture into town
I like to get a few drinks down
The floor gets packed the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party have saved the night
And freed themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in
A circle round their leather bags


“Friday Night, Saturday Morning” – The Specials
(Bossa Nova New Wave version - Nouvelle Vague )

[LesbianJedi87]

linked word- DANCE

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Fall Out Boy- Dance, Dance

[hermitfish]

linked word = write

You said to write you a song
So here, this is for you
Now as you toss through those lonely nights
Just know there is someone thinking of you
Everyone is waiting for the timing to be right
And we hope it's coming soon

Azure Ray - "Rest Your Eyes"

[meretricious]

linked word = soon

there are hills and mountains between us
always something to get over
if i had my way, surely you would be closer
i need you closer

you can windsurf into my life
take me up on a carpet ride
you can make it in a big balloon
but you better make it soon
i don't care how you get here,
just get here if you can

Oleta Adams "get here"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - balloon

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

Nena - "99 Red Balloons"

[watty]

linked word = standing

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark
For too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me


"Don't change" -- INXS
[br]

[Tues]

linked words = down, ground

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to see you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

"Temptation" - New Order

[the hero factor]

Linked word = Heaven

Came into my life
Made me think that I
Was really something
Took me by surprise
Someone with your charm
Looking my way

Am I in Heaven?
Am I in Heaven?
Am I in Heaven?
Have I gone up
Have I gone up
To the big cloud
Number Nine

Hey you
Brought me out of my shell
I don't know how you felt
But you do it well
Started a dream
Dreaming made me see
Oh Babe
You're so right for me

"Heaven" -Joan Armatrading

[watty]

linked words = cloud number nine

clue number one was when you knocked on my door
clue number two was the look that you wore
and that's when i knew it was a pretty good sign
that something was wrong up on cloud number nine

well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right


"Cloud number nine" -- Bryan Adams
[br]

[Tues]

linked words = one, two, look

Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six

And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks

“Everyday I Write the Book” – Elvis Costello

[DscoAkane]

linked word - book


Thanks for the book, now my table is ready
Is this a library or bar?
Between the covers I thought you were ready
A half-angel, half-tart

Do I read you correctly, lead me directly
Help me with this part
Do I hate you? Do I date you?
Do I got a dyslexic Heart?

Paul Westerberg - "Dyslexic Heart"

[Boadecia]

Linked word- Half

half underwater
i'm half my mother's daughter
a fraction's left up to dispute
the whole collection
half off the price they're asking
in the halfway house of ill repute

half accidental
half pain full instrumental
i have a lot to think about
you think they're joking?
you have to go provoke him...
i guess it's high time you found out

it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
i'm half jill
and half jack

Half Jack- The Dresden Dolls

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = half

Love sleeps all alone.
The cold telephone,
I know the heart.
Yes, I know the kind.
The kisses of fire,
turning to grey.
I never wanted it this way.
I always wanted you to stay.

Wash my pain away,
cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow.

Half a Woman, Half a Shadow - Roxette - mmm - Marie Fredriksson

[Kaia]

linked word = never

Hey baby I'm talking to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try yeah
You're bangin' your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance...one love
Your chance to let me know

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away
Anything you want - we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never - Never
Never - Never run away

Heart - Never

[DscoAkane]

linked words - wildest dreams

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

Moody Blues - "Your Wildest Dreams"

[Foomatic]

linked words = you were mine

Sometimes I wake up cryin` at night,
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take you away,
When for so long you were mine.

You Were Mine, Dixie Chicks

[Tues]

linked words – wake, take

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you

“I Say a Little Prayer for You” – Burt Bacharach
(sung by either Aretha Franklin or Dionne Warwick)

[meretricious]

linked word =coffee

just a little lovin', early in the morning
beats a cup of coffee
for starting off the day

just a little lovin' when the world is yawning
makes you wake up feeling
good things are coming your way

this old world wouldn't be half as bad
it wouldn't be half as sad,
if each and every body in it had

"just a little lovin'", Dusty Springfield

[watty]

linked words = wake up

When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake


"Bend and break" -- Keane

sorry mary, for butting in
[br]

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = bend

You're the only woman I need and baby you know it
You can make this beggar a king, a clown or a poet
'Cause I got nothing to hide, just a piece of line

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light

Bend me, Shape me - American Breed

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: beggar

If wishes were horses
This beggar would ride
I'd have my cake and eat it
With a little on the side
I'd never want for money
I'd never want for friends
I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that I'm in
Shaking and crazy
Before I saw your eyes
I was in control of my soul on the whole
Oooh, what am I gonna do
About you?

"Brave and Crazy" - Melissa Etheridge

[angel of salvation]

linked word: horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I brought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am,
You know I can’t let you,
Slide through my hands

Wild horses,
Couldn’t drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn’t drag me away

I watched you suffer, a dull, aching pain
Now you decided, to show me the same
No sweeping exits, or off-stage lines,
Can make me feel bitter,
Or treat you unkind

The Sundays- Wild Horses

Jess xxx

[watty]

linked word = slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it coming

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah we're gonna let it slide


"Slide" - Goo Goo Dolls
[br]

[VixenyTarasHot]

linked word = Where, you, are

This desert wind is burnin’ my face again
God I’m missin’ you
Been runnin’ blind under a broken sky
With regrets I was sorting through
But lesson learned baby
I’ve made the turn

Wherever you are
No matter how far
Girl I’m gonna find my way to you
Through rivers of rain
Over mountains of pain
Do whatever on earth I’ve gotta do
I’ll follow the dream I’ll follow my heart
Girl I’ve gotta be
Wherever you are

Jack Ingram- Wherever you are

Ashleigh

[Tues]

linked words = heart, face, baby, regrets

I've been contemplating suicide,
But it really doesn't suit my style.
So I think I'll just act bored instead,
And contain the blood I would've shed.

She makes me feel so ill at ease,
My heart is really on its knees.
But I keep a poker face so well,
That even mother couldn't tell.
But my baby's so vain,
She is almost a mirror.
And the sound of her name,
Sends a permanent shiver down my spine.

I keep her photograph against my heart,
For in my life she plays the starring part.
Our love could hold off cigarettes,
There's no room for cheap regrets.

“Shivers” – Nick Cave (Boys Next Door)

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = mother

It's a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
But they will never get a piece of my soul
And now I'm still learning the lesson
To awake when I hear the call
And if you ask me why I am still running
I'll tell you I run for us all

I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother your sister your wife
I run for you and me my friend I run for life

I Run For Life - Melissa Etheridge - my mom beat cancer and this makes me cry every time, its such a beautiful song!

[Kaia]

linked word = running


I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools
So gladly

And now I find
I've changed my mind

The face of you.. my substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you, my substitute for love
My substitute for love


Substitute for love - Madonna

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = face

I hear your questions
I see your face
Your life before you
Is full of grace
What can I tell you
To let you know
Your angel's eyes
Will watch you grow

Come listen close
And I'll try to let you know
It's all I know

There is no magic
There are no secrets
We all begin this race at the start
But I have come this far
With a truth of the heart

The Truth of the Heart - Melissa Etheridge

[kisstheviolets]

Linked: come, close

I'm up to my eyes or out the door
I never do anything half way
So we're gonna do this
thing your way
I'll do my best to not want more

And I don't mean to flatter myself
But everything I touch turns to shit
If there's one thing that I do well
That would probably be it

I'm all right
I made it out alive all alone
Then you run me off the road
And I don't even
come close to minding
I don't even come close to minding
I don't even come close to minding

"Come Close" - Edie Carey (my imaginary future wife)

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = eyes

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

She's Like the Wind - Patrick Swayze (my imaginary future butler)
