Linked word = House

This is the happy house-we're happy here in the happy house oh it's such fun
We've come to play in the happy house
and waste a day in the happy house-it never rains

We've come to scream in the happy house We're in a dream in the happy house
We're all quite sane

This is the happy house-we're happy here There's room for you if you say "I do"
but don't say no or you'll have to go
we've done no wrong with our blinkers on It's safe and calm if you sing along

This is the happy house-we're happy here in the happy house. To forget ourselves-and pretend all's well There is no hell.

Happy House
Siouxie and the Banshees

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Okay, I had a hard time finding a word that wasn't already used, so I'm giving up and tagging along with house, please don't sue me.

I wanna get married
Yes, I need a spouse
I want a nice Leave it to Beaverish
Golden retriever and a little white house
I wanna get married
I need to cook meals
I wanna pack you cute little lunches
For my Brady bunches
Then read Danielle Steele
I wanna escape
This rat race I've created
I'm feelin' enervated
I don't care if I make it
I just want to bake a sugar cake for you
To take to work in the morn
And I'll stay home cleaning the dishes
And keeping your wishes all warm
I wanna get married
That's why I was born

I wanna partake in bake sales for the classroom
I wanna hear the sweet tune
Of Sally's little vroom-vroom
As she zooms around my broom
As I exhume the gloom
Of my shallow life
I wanna be simple and honest and dimpled
'cause I am your wife
I will never tarry
I'm not even torn
I wanna get married
That's why I was born

I Wanna Get Married,
Nellie McKay,

[Paint the Sky]

Linked word = wanna

So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after BILLY
Running after the rain

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me

He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that sick sick
holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces
Of those beautiful BOYS
Those christian boys
So you can make me cum that doesn't make you JESUS

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me

I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their NINE-INCH nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart
of every nice girl

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them break their hold over me

Precious

Precious Things - Tori Amos

[Foomatic]

linked words = precious, things

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through...

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give


Precious, by Depeche Mode

[glokenpop baby]

Linked Word - You

So dear to me,
Always keep me company,
Who needs to go outside,
I will be your silent bride.
I can't take my eyes off you .
Nothing ever needs to be said,
You send your message,
right into my head,
You fill me up when I'm alone,
So soothing is your monotone.
I can't take my eyes off you.
I can't take my eyes off you.

I Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Melanie Doane. <33

[noho]

Linked word = alone

Well I'm not wiped out by this
Poolroom life I'm living
But I'm gonna quit my job and go to school
And head back home
Now I'm not asking to be
Loved or be forgiven
Hey I just can't face shaking in this bedroom
One more night alone
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone who knows the meaning of a
Hey hit the highway


"I Need A Lover" - Pat Benatar

[thiswomanswork]

linked word = school

The hometown brought its hero in
To speak at the high school gym.
He took a breath, he took a chance.
He strode up in his leather pants
And said, "Gee, thanks... but...
I'm here today because I fought for what I felt and what I thought.
They put me down they, were just wrong,
And now it's they who don't belong, oh, oh,

Teenagers, kick our butts, tell us what the future will bring.
Teenagers look at us, we have not solved everything!

And when the media tries to act your age,
Don't be seduced, they're full of rage.
Find your voice, do what it takes.
Make sure you make lots of mistakes
And find the future that redeems.
Give us hell, give us dreams
And grow and grow and grow,

And someday when some teenagers come to kick your butts,
Well then like I do try to
Love.

Dar Williams - 'Teenagers, Kick Our Butts'

[Paint the Sky]

Linked word = Leather

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart


Venus in Furs - Velvet Underground

[noho]

Linked word = thousand

Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same


"Dirty Work" - Steely Dan

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: light

I want to start a fire in your heart tonight.
Oh, tell me why do I so yearn to cause trouble?
I need you to be mine in the summertime,
when the days are long and the nights are slow and sweet.

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.

You flicker, you amaze me.
Your lips illuminate me.
I want your eyes to tell me I'm the only flame.
My glow; it will attract you, my smoke will push you back
Until you call again, please arsonist, attack.

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.

I'll just light the match,
And the flames will catch...

But why do you turn and shield your eyes?
Do I burn too brightly?
Oh, don't take my love lightly, for I mean every word.

"Light the Match" - Mirah

[EasierSaid]

Linked word = heart

Said you're willing but you won't
Say you're trying but I'm forcing you
And that's not trying
Said you're thinking, but I know you too well
My heart is dying

So I'm letting you off the hook this time
Letting you off the hook for life
Stepping out of the airplane, I
Feel a slight sense of closure
Sick and tired of the sorry act
Girl I just want you to come over

"Stepping out of the Airplane" - Charmless

[jay/wt4evr]

Linked word=want

And I'm all mixed up
Feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault
But I want her so much
Wanna fly her away
Where the sun and the rain
Come all over my face
Wash away all the shame

All the things she said - t.A.T.u.

[noho]

Linked word = mixed up

Well morning comes to clean up
Like nothing happened when your heart stopped
Like all the lawyers calling all cops
To wave days through
So close your eyes for this long
Something's mixed up and something's gone
Only fingers can you count on
And one leaves two

Now you're broken
And you don't understand
What is broken
Falls into place once again
Hand of kindness
Come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
I think I will break but I mend


"Broken" - Tift Merritt

[glokenpop baby]

Linked word - "eyes"

You shut me down in shades of grey
That ricocheted into endless, matter
Your lucid eyes expecting me to stay
You could not comprehend how, shattered i was

I lie awake at night
And think about the golden rule of love
You’d better be prepared to pay the price
So look before you jump
Don’t look back, baby
Don’t look back, baby
Don’t look back

Love has broken you
Love has broken me.

Broken Final - Olivia d'abo. (such beautiful lyrics)

[Foomatic]

linked phrase = Don't look back

I'm gonna start the revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by.
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say


Don't Look Back In Anger, Oasis

[EasierSaid]

linked word = Sally

Until Sally I was never happy
I needed so much more
Rain clouds oh, they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears
Allay my fears

Sent to me from heaven
Sally cinnamon you're my world

Pop, pop, pop, blow, blow bubble gum
You taste of cherryade
There is something hey you must show me
From what you are made
Sugar and spice
And all things nice

"Sally Cinnamon" - The Stone Roses

[meretricious]

linked word = rain

I'm saving nickels and I'm saving dimes
I'm gonna kiss you where the sun don't shine
And all those shadows gonna kiss them too
Just as long as they come in with you

Do open windows keep the rainaway
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay
I thought an open door would bring you in
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

Open Doors, Josh Ritter

[dorksrcool]

linked word = eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

That green eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you,
Must be out of their mind

Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you

"Green Eyes" by Coldplay

[EasierSaid]

linked word = green

She raises from a single bed,
And confidently says, 'goodbye, love'
And dresses in a shirt he wore last night
He always liked her in his clothes
Cause no one ever looked as bold as her
In green
And no one ever felt so right like her
At the beach
He only broke the TV cause she said
'I want something more'
There's no more

"In Green" - Volcano, I'm Still Excited!

[Paint the Sky]

Linked word = love

She only smiles
He only tells her
that she's the flowers, the wind and spring
In all her splendor sweetly surrendering
The love that innocence brings

**
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing

Now I watch closely
And I watch wholly
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender
But will life bend her
I look around is she everywhere

** repeat

He throws her kisses
She shares his wishes
I'm sure he's keen without a doubt
With love so captive
So solely captive
I ask if I could play the part

** repeat

Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing


Almaz - Randy Crawford

[noho]

Linked word = so rare

Baby it's you on my mind
Your love is so rare
Being with you is a feeling
I just can't compare
And if I can't hold you in my arms
It just wouldn't be fair
'Cause precious and few
Are the moments we two can share


"Precious and Few" - Climax

[EasierSaid]

linked word - feeling

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away


"More than a Feeling" - Boston

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: Marianne

Tuna
Rubber
A little blubber in my igloo
And I knew you pigtails and all
Girl when they fall
And they say Marianne killed herself
And I said not a chance
Don't you love the girls ladies babies
Old bags who say she was so pretty why
Why why why did she crawl down in the old
Deep ravine

C'mon pigtail girls and all those sailors
Get your bags and hold down won't you just
Hold down cause ed is watching my every sound
I said
They're watching my every sound

The weasel squeaks faster than a seven day week
I said that Timmy and that purple monkey
Are all down

At Bobby's house
Making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters and my
Traitors of kind
And I’m just having thoughts of Marianne
She could outrun the fastest slug
She could
Marianne
Quickest girl in the frying pan

"Marianne" - Tori Amos

[Paint the Sky]

linked word = seven

there was a guy
an under water guy who controlled the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
from new york and new jersey
this monkey's gone to heaven

the creature in the sky
got sucked in ahole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns
i'll get mine, too
this monkey's gone to haven

rock me joe!

if man is five [3x]
then the devil is six [5x]
then god is seven [3x]
this monkey's gone to heaven

Monkey Gone to Heaven - The Pixies

[EasierSaid]

linked word - cold

Here's the bed, that I lie in
Laugh and sigh and cry in
Or eat a piece of pie in
Under my rock
Under my rock

It's cold and hard and kinda gray
It's the only place I'll ever stay
Got snacks in the fridge and a telephone
In this stone that I call home

Let's rock!

"Under my Rock" - Patrick

[noho]

Linked word = home

I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change


"Change (In The House Of Flies)" - Deftones

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=alive

Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be

And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...

Pearl Jam- Alive

[EasierSaid]

linked word - wrong

Hello darlin', nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be
How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doing fine
Just to know it means so much to me

What's that darlin'?
How'm I doing?
I'm doing alright
Except I can't sleep, I cry all night till dawn

What I'm trying to say
Is I love you, and I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong


"Hello Darlin'" - Conway Twitty

[kisstheviolets]

linked word: darlin'/darling (close enough, yes?)

Creep up and tell me that you,
You love me more,
Each time you look into my eyes, I feel like...
I know you don't mean to be mean.
I'm sure you know the same for me,
When you creep up and tell me,
Darling, it breaks my heart each time you,
Darling, you break my heart each time you...

You slip your hands inside my pockets.
Tell me nothing else would do,
Without me you can't live.
And you slip your heart into my chest.
They both become one of the strongest pairs,
When strangers come.
And darling, this thing that breaks my heart,
And darling, you break my heart each time you,
Darling, this thing that breaks my heart,
And darling, you break my heart each time you...

"And Darling" - Tegan and Sara

[noho]

Linked word = chest

I know I should go
But I follow you
Like a man possessed
There's a traitor here
Beneath my breast
And it hurts me more
Than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat
It would break my chest
But I can see
You're unimpressed
So leave me be


"Rest In Peace" - Spike
