The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Me and the farmer get on fine
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
If I pull my weight, he'll treat me well
But if I'm late, he'll give me hell
And though it's all hard work, no play
Farmer is a happy crook
Jesus hates him every day
'Cause Jesus gave and farmer took, took
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
He's chopped down sheep, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And worked his workers right around the clock
It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactly true
And through God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through, through
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and SMALL
All we've got is London ****
'Cause farmer owns them all, all
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
Me and the farmer
Me and the farmer

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smilin'?
Hurts so bad cause when I see you, I start trying
Try everything to stop but there's no denying
Falling in love with you girl is just like dying
Oh-oh-oh, don't walk away
Oh-oh-oh, how can I make you stay, don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But SMALL enough to hide till your playin' was through, ah
Girl don't you know we can work it out with talkin'?
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks with tryin' to steal it
Now I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears, I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide till your playin' was through, ah
Now I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears, I feel the tears
But all I can hear are those
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide till your playin' was through
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But small enough to hide till your playin' was through
Words that never were true
Just spoken to help nobody but you

It's a God-awful SMALL affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go, but you never wanna stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play but you never wanna lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that wanna play
Always wanna go, but you never wanna stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always wanna play but you never wanna lose
Oh
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

When I was SMALL
And Christmas trees were tall
We used to laugh while others used to play
Don't ask me why
But time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away
Now we are tall
And Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I
Our love will never die
To kiss and cry, "Come, first of May"
The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
Now we are tall
And Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I
Our love will never die
To kiss and cry, "Come, first of May"
When I was small
And Christmas trees were tall
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Don't ask me why
But time has passed us by
Someone else moved in from far away

Well, I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey
Educated in a small town
Taught to fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic, that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Ooh nah, nah, nah, yeah, ooh yeah yeah
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well, I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in a small town
Oh, and that's probably where they'll bury me, yeah
Ooh yeah yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hi there!
I'm on my way, I'm making it (oh)
I've got to make it show, yeah
(Yeah!)
So much larger than life
I'm gonna watch it growing
The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small, they use small words
But not me
I'm smarter than that, I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out
I've had enough, I'm getting out to the city
The big, big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
So much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big God
As I kneel in the big church
(Big time)
I'm on my way, I'm making it (big time)
Ooh, yes (big time)
I've got to make it show, yeah (big time)
(Big time) so much larger than life
(Big time) I'm gonna watch it growing (big time)
My parties have all the big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always, they're amazed
When I show them 'round the house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
(Big time)
I'm on my way, I'm making it (big time)
C'mon (big time)
I've got to make it show, yeah (big time)
(Big time) so much larger than life
(Big time) I'm gonna watch it growing (big time)
(Big time)
My car's getting bigger (big time)
My house getting bigger (big time)
My eyes getting bigger (big time)
And my mouth (big time)
My belly's getting bigger (big time)
And my bank account (big time)
Look at my circumstance (big time)
And the bulge in my
Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big!

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Ever and ever, FOREVER and ever you'll be the one
That shines on me like the morning sun
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring
My rainbow's end and the song I sing
Take me far beyond imagination
You're my dream come true, my consolation
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream
My symphony, my own lover's theme
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally
Take me far beyond imagination
You're my dream come true, my consolation
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart, you'll always stay
FOREVER young, FOREVER young
FOREVER young, FOREVER young
May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to Heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Yeah
And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
For-Forever young, forever young

I'll never see that day

We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
I'm keeping you forever and for always
Oh
I'm keeping you forever
Got to keep you, baby
Oh, forever

One more night
One more night
I've been trying, ooh, so long
To let you know, let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
'Cause I can't wait FOREVER
Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone
Please give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you
Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind, you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn
Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune it
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always know sometimes it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes"
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Unforgettable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time
A place for a moment
An end to dream
Forever I loved you
Forever it seemed
One summer never ends
One summer never began
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer
Sometimes I never leave
But sometimes I would
Sometimes I stay too long
Sometimes I would
Sometimes it frightens me
Sometimes it would
Sometimes I'm all alone
And wish that I could
One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer
And then suddenly
Last summer
One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer
And then suddenly
Last summer
Until suddenly
Last Summer
And then suddenly
Last summer
Until suddenly
Last Summer

With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into SUMMER
With his travelogues of "maybe next year" places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for it with years he cannot buy back with his tears
When he finds out there's been no one keeping score
And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer
And he thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare désolée
Une valise à ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montrent de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sens la pluie comme un été anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derrière un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
We fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English SUMMER
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a backdrop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Oh, summer breeze (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking on the plates for two
Feel the arms reaching out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Oh, summer (summer breeze) makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Oh, summer (summer breeze) makes me feel fine

(Ah-ah, SUMMER nights) well let's talk about love
(Ah-ah, SUMMER nights) on a hot SUMMER night, hey!
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no Internet
But man, I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
Catching walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll
While we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
(Man I'd love to see that girl again) Yeah
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-SUMMER long

All-SUMMER long
See the curtains hangin' in the window
Even on a Friday night
A little light-a-shinin' in the window
Lets me know everything's all right
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
Music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer
The jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home
From a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there
Not a care
Not a care in the world
See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Food cookin' and the plates for two
Feel your arms reachin' out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, yeah
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
I don't want you cook my bread
I don't want you make my bed
I don't want your money too
I just wanna make love to you
I don't want you be no slave
I don't want you work all day
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
I can tell by the way that you, baby, talk
I can see by the way that you switch and walk
I can tell by the way that you treat your man
But I could love you, baby, it's a cryin' shame
I don't want you wash my clothes
I don't want you keep a home
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you
I don't want you be no slave
I don't want you work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you
I don't want you keep a home
I don't want you wash my clothes
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love

TELL me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Well, I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to leave me, oh, so bad?
All I do is hang my head and moan
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
If it's something I'd have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Well I, begging on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

I tried not to see you
'Cause I couldn't take the heartache again
The past was behind me
Wouldn't compromise, it's never the same
But when we met lost in the candlelight
And you smiled at me
Knew I had to be with you
And suddenly, closer to me
(You're there, you're there).
You're there in the morning
And the hurt is slippin' away (slippin' away)
And though I laugh through teardrops
I can't face another day,
I don't know how to tell you
There's so much that I wanted to say (wanted to say)
Do you know that I love you forever?
I want you to stay.
We shouldn't be lonely
But a broken dream shatters away
We're lost in our troubles
When a dream is gone, somebody pays
I never tried, counting the memories
Leave them all behind
But I can't live without you
Stay with me, please let me find
(You're there, you're there).
You're there in the morning
And the hurt is slippin' away (slippin' away)
And though I laugh through teardrops
I can't face another day,
I don't know how to TELL you
There's so much that I wanted to say (wanted to say)
Do you know that I love you forever?
You're there in the morning
And the hurt is slippin' away (slippin' away)
And though I laugh through teardrops
I can't face another day,
I don't know how to tell you
There's so much that I wanted to say (wanted to say)
Do you know that I love you forever?
You're there in the morning
And the hurt is slippin' away
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do?
Though love is blind, make up your mind, I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him, he'll have to go?
You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with another man
Do you want me? Answer yes or no
Darling, I will understand
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
TELL me, TELL me, TELL me lies
TELL me lies
TELL me sweet little lies
(TELL me lies, TELL me, TELL me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
TELL me lies
TELL me sweet little lies
Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
We're better off apart let's give it a try
TELL me, TELL me, TELL me lies
TELL me lies
TELL me sweet little lies
(TELL me lies, TELL me, TELL me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
TELL me lies
TELL me sweet little lies
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
TELL me, TELL me, TELL me lies

(TELL me lies, TELL me, TELL me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise

TELL me sweet little lies
(TELL me lies, TELL me, TELL me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
TELL me lies

Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To-ah! Oh, the summer nights
Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh
TELL me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
Uh huh (doo doo)
Uh huh (doo doo)
Uh huh (doo doo doo doo doo)
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put a fight?
Dow, doobie do, doobie do
Doobie, doobie, doobie
Dow, doobie do, doobie do
Doobie, doobie, doobie, dow
Took her bowling in the Arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'til ten o'clock
Summer fling, don't mean a thing
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
'Cause he sounds like a drag
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, yeah!
He got friendly, holding my hand
Well, she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well, she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But, oh
Those summer
Nights!
(Tell me more, tell me more, more, more)
Drifting into the lives
Seep
Into
The
Soul
Where emotions hide
Dark skies were beating me down with shadows
Of deceit, slashing at trust till it forever bleeds
With doubts
With pain
With trust
Is
Pain
When you think of me,
In your multidimensional mind
Try and wash the evil from your mind
And open it
When
You taste the truth
You will see like others
Before me to you, I am past a story to tell
To you I am past a story to tell
Tell it
If you think you own the end
Take another look
At
The script
Of sadness
Etched
In the book
Dark skies were beating me down with shadows
Of deceit, slashing at trust 'til it forever bleeds
With doubts
With pain
With trust
Is pain
When you think of me
In your multidimensional mind
Try and wash the evil from your mind
And open it
When
You taste the truth
You will see like others
Before me to you, I am past a story to tell to you
I am past a story to tell
Tell it

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please TELL me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh take it, take it, take it, yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please (Oh won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me)
I know it sounds absurd (Oh won't you help me)
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Ooh it's getting unbelievable, yeah

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Will you, won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out, 'cause here she comes

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him
Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Looking back in time
Through verses set in nursery rhyme
At oil painted eyes
Of muses left behind
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
She stands with arms stretched out
Towards the mountains and the clouds
Oil painted eyes
Blind yet hypnotized
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
Me dry
How near, how far, how lost they are
How near, how far, how lost they are
How near, how far, how lost they are
How near, how far, how lost they are
How near, how far, how lost they are
How near, how far
I've rendered every line
Every contour of a muse's eye
Painted in my mind
On canvases of time
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
Me dry
Me dry

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So NEAR, yet so far away
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Oh, oh, oh so near, yet so far away
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Yeah, I got a reputation
Never had a single thought of settling down
As the train gonna left the station
Never shed a single tear just, said my good-byes
But you touched me deep inside
Now I can't believe
I'm the one who's looking back
As you said good-bye to me
Whenever you're NEAR, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're near
Yeah, 'cause my share of sorrow
I walked off on promises and love's passed me by
But now you've turned the tables
See you make me feel as though it's my turn to die
There's a little girl inside
Who's lost on her way
Only you can bring me back
I know you know the words to say
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're near
I feel your chemistry, boy watcha do to me
I lose all control
And when the morning comes, yeah you loved and gone
Don'tcha know I need it over and over and over and over again
Yeah, you touched me deep inside
Now I can't say no
Dragged my heart around
I'm never gonna let you go.
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Boy you don't understand whatcha do to me
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're near

And now, the end is NEAR
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
People look to me and say
"Is the end near, when is the final day?"
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me, I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show?
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
You gotta believe in someone
Asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow
Don't ask me, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself
You gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose
You can choose, don't confuse
Win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you
It's up to you
It's up to you
Go, go, go
People look to me and say
"Is the end near, when is the final day?"
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind, I'm lost
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me, I don't know
Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one NEAR
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man

There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone, and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, "I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn?"
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, oh
She looked like a raver
But, I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings, boy, you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better, she said
"Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star"
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers, and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be NEAR you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le, le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le ro le le lo le, le ro le le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be NEAR
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Le ro le le lo le, le ro le le lo le
Think out loud
Say it again
Le ro lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
