[watty]

linked word = pathetic

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting


"The Everlasting" -- Manic Street Preachers
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = hear

On a good day I'd give my last quarter and smile
Just to hear George Strait singing awhile

But the song in my head is as loud as a plane
And as long as a train pulling grain
And it follows me around like a three-legged hound
Getting by on two legs
And a sprain

Well ain't I strong
Ain't I stunning
Ain't I stable now
Ain't I smart
Ain't I stuck with a big empty heart
Ain't I brave
Ain't I beautiful
Ain't I better now
Ain't I bright
Jesus Christ ain't I lonely tonight

Susan Werner, "Ain't I Lonely Tonight"

[meretricious]

linked word = ain't

ain't it good
ain't it right
that you are with me, here tonight
music playing, our bodies swaying
in time

touching you, so warm and tender
lord i feel such a sweet surrender
beautiful is the dream that makes
you mine

rock me gently, rock me slowly
take it easy, don't you know
that i have never been loved like this before

Andy Kim "rock me gently"

[hermitfish]

linked word = completely

Incendiary glance
Be, come, and collide in me
Zoom in, enhance, hold
While I go helplessly sky high
Magic eye, sugar rushing
Don't stop

I must be dreaming, or
We're onto something
Hey, just whatcha make me for
I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming, or
Pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Frou Frou - "Must Be Dreaming"

[meretricious]

linked word = collide

remembering the wind
kiss soft the evening's end
i'm floating in a world
of where i want to be
i've played it in my mind
at least a million times
rewinding to the world
of where i want to be

when we collide
a universe of stars fill our eyes
when we collide
like heaven has exploded inside

"when we collide" k.d. lang

[tarawhipped]

Linked word= floating

Floating down through the clouds,
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field,
I had a dream.

Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car,
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air,
You'll hear the tolling bell, and touch the silk in your lapel.
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band,
You take her frail hand, and hold on to the dream.

"The Gunner's Dream," Pink Floyd

[Tues]

linked word - dream

It was more like a dream than reality
I must have thought it was a dream while she was here with me
When she was near I didn't think she would leave
When she was gone it was too much to believe

So with tomorrow I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream and another with tomorrow
So if there some day won't be time just to look behind
There won't be reasons, no descriptions for my place and mind
There was so much I was told that was not real
So many things that I could not taste but I could feel

“With Tomorrow” – Gene Clark

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = gone

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby)
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone wooooooh

You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - Righteous Brothers

[watty]

linked words = close your eyes

You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside of your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken


"Broken" -- Tracy Chapman
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = time

In good time
The machines will do their business
And hearts will try understanding grace
But you will wait
You will stay

Stay in me
And I will wait
Wait in me
And I will wait
Stay, wait
And I will wait
In you

Cameron Dezen - "Waiting (The Promise)"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = touch

I'm just here for dictation
i don't wanna be a sensation
bein' on Sixty Minutes
wasn't worth your fifteen minutes

don't touch my breast
i'm just working at my desk
don't put me to the test
i'm just doing my best

shopping at Max Fields
power for you to wield
dreamed of going to the Grammies
till you poked me with your whammy

Sonic Youth - "Swimsuit Issue"

[Tues]

RH - You made me dust off my "Evol" & Ciccone Youth album... to get "Into the Groove(y)"....

linked words - fifteen minutes

Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do.
Oh, I ... oh, I do
Oh ...

I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But "take me to the haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You're the bee's knees
But so am I

Oh, meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Oh ...

"Reel Around the Fountain" - The Smiths

[watty]

linked word = alright

Tell me are you gettin’ hurt, is it worth it?
Tell me are the people strange, do they change?
Tell me are you letting go, do you know?
I’ll tell you the truth, if you tell me the truth
If you gamble everything for love
If you gamble everything for love
If you gamble everything for love
You gonna be alright, alright


"Gamble everything for love" -- Ben Lee
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = tell

Half past 9, quarter to ten
10:15, and we're coming around again
hold off, are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
Found out, and i almost drowned
Walked back down, and we're coming around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

The Lemonheads - "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You"

[oneyedchicklet]

Linked word smile

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

HUGS
Barb

[hermitfish]

linked word = corazón

You gotta have heart
[ corazón ]
Miles and miles and miles of heart
[ corazón ]
Oh, it's fine to be a genius, of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
First, you gotta have heart

Peggy Lee - "(You Gotta Have) Heart"

[meretricious]

linked words = miles and miles

miles and miles of empty space in between us
the telephone can't take the place of your smile
but you know i won't be traveling forever
it's cold out, but hold out, and do like i do

when i need you,
i just close my eyes and i'm with you
and all that i so want to give you
it's only a heartbeat away

Leo Sayer, "when i need you"

[watty]

linked word = heartbeat

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, and what you lost
And what you had, and what you lost


"Dreams" -- Fleetwood Mac
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word=keep

For where I go, you go with me
Thought the miles keep us apart
Your kiss is on my lips and your face before me
And your gentle hand, always on my heart

We are brief as a summer lightning
We are swift as swallow's flight
We are sparks that spiral upward in the darkness, in the night
We are frost upon a window
We won't pass this way again
In the end, dear, only love remains

Tonight the harvest moon
hangs across the valley
I see the hills shine in its silvery light
It's the same old moon
That shines upon you
It'll light my way until I'm by your side

Garnet Rogers - "Summer Lightning"

[Tues]

(...into the wee hours I shall work away...)
linked words – darkness, remains, light, night

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
’neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

“The Sound of Silence” – Simon & Garfunkel

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = streets

We both come up on different streets
And they both were streets of shame
You know they’re both dirty both mean
Yes and the dreams were the same
And I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real
So tell me honey
Now how can you look at me
As if I was just another one of your deals

Indigo Girls, "Romeo and Juliet" (originally by Dire Straits I think)

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = wrong

Know all about
About your reputation
And how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless every time that i'm where you are
You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much:

Loving you isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
Well I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

Leanne Rimes - Right Kind of Wrong (written by the amazing Diane Warren)

[hermitfish]

linked word = touch

When I fall down, I need a helping hand
And when I lose my head, it's cause it's always buried in the sand
When I get stuck on myself, feelin' sorry for myself
Will you help me grab a hold and please don't patrionize my soul
When I start to lose control
When I get irrational
When I start to get too high,
You see me come floating by, I say

Touch me in the morning sun
When I feel impossible
Show me what is possible
Teach me love invincible

Spearhead - "Love Invincible"

[meretricious]

linked word = hold

you make my dreams so believable
before i met you i believed in giving up
you tore down all my walls so i could see outside
and darlin' that's something i ain't never giving up

everybody needs to rely on somebody
even you, even me
i'm going to follow my feelings
i'm going to follow my senses
i'm going to follow my compass

this may not be the place we thought we would end up in
but darlin' i will never make no apologies
we all need someone to hold onto
you know it's true, and if you hold onto me
it'll be magic when i hold onto you

Lone Justice, "east of eden"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = bleeding

This fruit was bruised
Dropped off and blue
Out of season
Happy I'm bleeding
Long overdue
Too early and it's late too
Too early and it's late too
Mind and body
I wouldn't and I would not do

Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you

P J Harvey - "Happy and Bleeding"

[Tues]

linked words – inside, you

Let me inside you
Into your room
I’ve heard it’s lined
With the things you don’t show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I’ve been your lover
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother
When everything’s gone

And she will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change
Some stay the same

“Hymn to Her” – The Pretenders

[hermitfish]

linked word = moon

Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Bernadette Peters - "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" [Dylan cover]

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: tonight

Not tonight Josephine.

In an army's strength therein
Lies the denouement.
From here you're haunting me.
By the seine so beautiful.
Only not to be of use - impossible.

So strange, victory - 1,200 spires,
The only sound, Moscow burning.
Empty like the Tuileries.
Like a dream Vienna seems,
Only not to be of use - impossible.

In the last extremity - to advance
Or not to advance -
I hear you laughing.

Even still you're calling me
"Not tonight, not tonight.

Not tonight."

Josephine.

"Josephine" - Tori Amos

[meretricious]

linked word = dream

the dream that came through a million years
that lived through a million tears
it came to Xanadu

a million lights are dancing
and there you are, a shooting star
an everlasting world, and you're here with me
eternally

Olivia Newton John "Xanadu"
(it's playing on showtime right now, i couldn't help myself)

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = million

Looking to the future now
This is what I see
A million chances pass me by
A million chances to hold you
Take me back, take me back
To where I used to be
To hide away from all my truth
Through the light I see

A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later
And here I am

A Million Love Songs - Take That
