[Tues]

linked word - never

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

“Hallelujah” - Leonard Cohen (covers: Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright…)

[onelesstraveled]

linked word = night

If I could I would be smoke
And I’d float myself out of here
And I’d go wherever you are
And I’d never have to be too far from here
And I’d linger in your fingers
A transparent shade of gray
And watch as you watch me
Slowly fade away
Into the night
Where are you when I need you by my side

"Smoke" --- Tristan Prettyman

[watty]

linked word = watch

I think I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity

So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you

I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey I can't tell a lie


"A lover is forever" -- Trisha Yearwood
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = away

The streets are all busy
And we're still in bed
We should be up working
We're lying here instead
I look outside, the weather's fine
For playing music and drinking wine

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way
To spend the day, with you

Heather Nova - Waste The Day

[meretricious]

linked word = bed

you call me, i'm not at home, when you're alone
sleeping in the middle of our big bed
cuddled with you, where i should be
try to go to sleep, you want love instead

with you tonight there's no escaping
love's for giving, not just taking
in the middle of our big bed

take me inside, closing my eyes
visions of you
taking off the covers of our big bed
never alone, my mind is at home
thinking of my lover in our big bed

"big bed" General Public

[justin]

linked word = love


I've been through some hard love
Sweet love
Impossible love
Deep love

But there was always a hitch
Something couldn't be fixed
A bit out of tune
With ending it soon

And just when I felt I had enough
And I thought my life just wasn't living it up
You came to me so magically
Giving me
Love in the key of C

"Love in the key of C" - Belinda Carlisle

[the hero factor]

Linked word = through

Hello, are you still chasing
The memories in shadows
Some stay young, some grow old
Come alive, there are thoughts unclear
You can never hide

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

"I Dare You" -Shinedown

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = dare

I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despise
For bureaucracy, hypocracy- all liars

I dare
I dare
I dare- you- you

Bauhaus - "Double Dare"

[watty]

linked word = liars

All these bruises keep you awake
I guess I'm just too tired to sleep
God only knows I'm too lost to cry
For kissing liars has kept me true

I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely
I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely


"Breathless" -- Texas
[br]

[Tues]

Linked words – only & hold


Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again


“Till I Gain Control Again” - Emmylou Harris (cover: This Mortal Coil)

[justin]

linked word = dancing

Blue sky to forever,
green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be much better a sight with you, with me,
If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along,

So now what should I do? I'm strung out, addicted to you,
My body it aches, now that you're gone,
My supply fell through,

You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
You craved my happiness,
When you make me feel joy it makes you smile,
But now I feel your stress,
Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no
And who has time for tears?
Never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love,
'till now.

You're not here - Akira Yamaoka

[hermitfish]

linked word = baby

Lots of people talking at me
Tell me what is right
And lately I just don't know what to do
Ah, the only thing that matters is if you're with me at night
Everything's all right when I'm with you

You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
And you're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Baby, you're the only one can make me cry

Concrete Blonde - "Can Make Me Cry"

[Willow Watcher]

link work = children

When the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

When The Children Cry
~White Lion

[Foomatic]

linked phrase = If the sun refused to shine

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I’d still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You’re all I need, my love, my valentine

Valentine, Martina McBride

[kisstheviolets]

Linked words: time

For you I would give the songs I write, the words I pray and the morning light
That pumps into this room today, if you would only rise, if you would only say
"I want you to take up all of my time
I want you because you're funny and kind
And we'll be easy from now on"

"Easy People" - the Nields

sigh.

[watty]

linked word = give

When I was young and give and take and foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell my spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in


"I believe" -- REM
[br]

[the hero factor]

Linked word = think

This bridge was written
To make you feel smittener
With my sad picture
Of girl getting bitter-er
Can you extract me
From my plastic fantasy
I didn't think so
But I'm still convinceable
Will you persist even after I bet you
A billion dollars that I'll never love you
And will you persist even after I kiss you
Goodbye for the last time
Will you keep on trying?
To prove it
I'm dying
To lose it
I'm losing
My confidence

"Coin-Operated Boy" -The Dresden Dolls

[Auburn]

Linked word = Baby

I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

Bee Gees - You Win Again

[the hero factor]

Linked word = inside

I think I'll write a letter home.
Telling everbody that I'm happy alone.
And maybe if I play the role,
I can roll myself into a big black hole.

I can roll myself on down the line.
Telling everybody that I'm just fine.
My troubled mind I can't confide.
That we are all the same
Inside

"Inside" -Patti Rothberg

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = confide

We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared

Confide in me, confide in me

Confide In Me - Kylie Minogue

[watty]

linked word = love

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you'll ever know
Part of me died
When I let you go


"Blind" -- Lifehouse
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = know

And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

[Tues]

linked words – when, somewhere, know

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

“Somewhere Only We Know” - Keane

[meretricious]

linked word = love

i ain't lonely now
yeah, i got someone i love
someone i think about
someone for me to take care of

dance all night
dance all night
dance all night
yeah i think i'll be alright

she ain't lonely now
see her shuffle cross the floor
yeah, she's happier now
see her smile and say "come on"

let's dance all night
let's dance all night

Ryan Adams "dance all night"

[hermitfish]

linked word = dance

Hey baby yeah you thrill my soul
Hold me tight, never let me go

Well let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance

Ramones - "Let's Dance"

[watty]

linked words = let me go

If you were a king
Up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
Let me leave


"Hunter" -- Dido
[br]

[Tues]

linked – enough, let, go

I have enough of all this tension
Don't you know I'm worried sick
Now I'm in the right dimension
No escape route does the trick

I hear my heart is on rotation
'Cause several people take their cut
And I can barely stand a minute
So I just keep my wide eyes shut

Let it go before it kills you
Let it fall and the fade away
Let's have fun and do what thrills you
Please don't waste another day

“Let it Go” - Morcheeba

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = heart

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I`d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore

My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Nightwish - "Nemo"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

A-Ha - Crying in the Rain

[Tues]

[center]DW dah-link, in lieu of a digital bevee how about a song?

linked words – from & smile

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
To let 'em rest unexpressed,
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you
How great you are.

“You're the Top” – Cole Porter[/center]
