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!

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
And the lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late, too late, too late
Too late
London boys are gazing as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall
But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Too late, too late, it's too late
Too late
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too LATE, baby, now it's too LATE
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, Oh no no
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too LATE, baby, now it's too LATE
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh no no
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too LATE, baby, now it's too LATE
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, Oh no no no no no
It's too LATE
Baby
It's too LATE
Now darling
It's too LATE

Born too LATE for you to notice me
To you, I'm just a kid
That you won't date
Why was I born too late?
Born too late to have a chance
To win your love
Oh, why, oh, why
Was it my fate
To be born too late?
I see you walk with another
I wish it could be me
I long to hold you and kiss you
But I know it never can be
For I was
Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart
Just couldn't wait
Why was I born too late?
Born too late for you to care
Now my heart cries
Because your heart
Just wouldn't wait
Why was I born too late?
Why was I born too late?
Too late
Well, no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well, no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too LATE to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acts and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well, no one told me about her
What could I do?
Well, no one told me about her
Though they all knew
But it's too LATE to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she acts and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright

Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acts and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Our nights are over
It's just a long flight home
The last touch in the morning
Is forever gone
Mmm, oh baby, I want to hold you once again
Mmm, baby, it would never be the same
Never again, will I look into your eyes
Never again
Never again, will I hold you LATE at night
Never again
Tomorrow's waiting
It's time for me to go
You don't have to say a thing
'Cause we will always know
Mmm, oh baby, we were lovers with a smile
Yeah, baby, we had it all for a little while
Never again, will I look into your eyes
Never again
Never again, will I hold you late at night
Never again
Never again, will I look into your eyes
Never again, oh
Never again, will I hold you late at night
Never again
Never again, will I look into your eyes
Never again, oh
Never again, will I hold you late at night
Never again

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her song to cowboy
As a smoky halo circled round her raven hair
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
Stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer
Faded love and faded memories
How the linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy
Like and old melody out of tune and out of time
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
He paid his check then lonely walked that broken cowboy home
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
It's LATE September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and, mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days
Whoo-hoo-ooh!
The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
Couldn't have been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
When it's LATE in the evening
All the music seeping through
The next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
Singing LATE in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was **** in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
And when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
And it was LATE in the evening
And I blew that room away
The first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well I guess I'd been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I loved you
And it was LATE in the evening
And all the music seeping through
As a side note, the song was “censored” because the word “under/age” was used!

Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'Round my mind
Far more frequently, you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask, "Will you be coming back soon?"
You don't know, never know
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
Lately, I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart
Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping
You just say nothing's changed
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye
Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
Wrapped around each other
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each other's arms
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey, I was your hero
And you were my leading lady
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our own LATE, LATE show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
Honey, can't you remember
We played all the parts
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart
Please say you will
Play it again
Cause I love you still
Baby this can't be the end
We had it all (we had it all)
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old LATE, LATE show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin' at you kid (here's lookin' at you kid)
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
We had it all (we had it all)
Just like Bogie and Bacall

Yeah, right
Did you hear about my baby? She come around
She come round here, the head to the ground
Come round here just about midnight
She makes me feel so good, make me feel all right
She come round my street, now
She come to my house and
Knock upon my door
Climbing up my stairs, one, two
Come on baby
Here she is in my room, oh boy
Hey what's your name?
How old are you?
Where'd you go to school?
Aha, yeah
Aha, yeah
Ah, ah yeah, ah yeah
Oh haa, mmm
Well, now that we know each other a little bit better
Why don't you come over here
Make me feel all right!
Gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria
All night, all day
All right, okey, yey!
You were my queen and I was your fool
Riding home after school
You took me home
To your house
Your father's at work
Your mama's out shopping around
Check me into your room
Show me your thing
Why'd you do it baby?
Getting softer, slow it down
Softer, get it down
Now you show me your thing
Wrap your legs around my neck
Wrap your arms around my feet
Wrap your hair around my skin, yeah
I'm gonna huh, right, ok, yeah
It's getting harder, it's getting too darn fast
It's getting harder
All right!
Come on, now, let's get it on
Too LATE, too LATE, too LATE
Too LATE, too LATE, too LATE
Can't stop, wow!
Make me feel all right!
Gloria, gloria (all right)
Gloria, gloria (all right, okey, all right, okey)
Gloria, gloria (all right, okey, yey!)
Keep the whole thing going, baby!
All right!
All right!
Aaaaah
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too LATE when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too LATE when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too LATE when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word

In the early MORNIN’ ' rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
And I missed my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big 707 set to go
Well I'm out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Where the liquor tasted good
And the woman all were fast
There she goes, my friend
She's rolling out at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds, she flies
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shine
She'll be flying o'er my home
In about three hours time
This ol' airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
'Cuz I'm stuck here on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Can't jump a jet plane
Like you can't a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten and time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the MORNING, take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive
Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here, time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Well I woke up Sunday MORNING, with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more, for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet, for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair and, stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before on, cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid cussin' at a can, that he was kickin'
Then I crossed the empty street and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin', that I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
On the Sunday morning sidewalks, wishin' Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin', half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city side walks, Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park I saw a daddy, with a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened to the song that they were singin'
Then I headed back for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On the Sunday morning sidewalks, wishin' Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin', half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city side walks, Sunday mornin' comin' down

Monday MORNIN’ it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me
Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
But Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah (yeah)
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time

Oh Monday, Monday

Lighthouse
One fine MORNING, girl, I'll wake up
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Go outside and feel the sunshine
Then I know I'll realize
That as long as you love me, girl, we'll fly
And on that mornin' when I wake up
I'll see your face inside a cloud
See your smile inside a window
Hear your voice inside a crowd
Calling, "Come with me baby and we'll fly"
Yeah, we'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly
We'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly
And on that mornin' when I wake up
We'll go outside and live our dreams
I'll buy you candies made of stardust
And little dolls dressed up in moonbeams
And everywhere we go we'll laugh and sing
I'll kiss you morning, noon and night
And all the universe will smile on us
'Cause they know that our love is finally right
Yeah, we'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly
We'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly
Yeah, we'll fly to the east, we'll fly to the west
There'll be no place we can't call our own
Yeah, we'll fly to the north, we'll fly to the south
Every planet will become our home
Yeah, we'll fly-y-y, yeah, we'll fly
Yeah, we'll fly to the east, we'll fly to the west
There'll be no place we can't call our own
We'll fly to the north, we'll fly to the south
Every planet will become our home
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart.
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start.
I see no need to take me home,
I'm old enough to face the dawn.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Then slowly turn away from me.
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow.
If morning's echo says we've sinned,
Well, it was what I wanted now.
And if we're victims of the night,
I won't be blinded by the light.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Then slowly turn away,
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day,
Of the years, baby baby baby.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
Just call me angel of the MORNING, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling

Out in the street, it's 6 a.m.
Another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee, but I can't clear my head
From what went down last night
Know we both have our own little way
But somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk but you don't hear what I say
I guess it don't even matter
Blue MORNING, blue day
Won't you see things my way?
Blue MORNING, can't you see
What your love has done to me?
I've always listened to your point of view
My ways I've tried to mend
And I've always been a patient man
But my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well, honey don't telephone, 'cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better
Blue MORNING, blue day
Won't you see things my way?
Blue MORNING, can't you see
What your love has done to me?
Blue MORNING, blue day
Won't you see things my way?
Blue MORNING, can't you see

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle MORNING, I'll come followin' you
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle MORNING, I'll come followin' you

Wake up in the morning with a head like, "What ya done?"
This used to be the life, but I don't need another one
You like cuttin' up and carrying on, you wear them gowns
So how come I feel so lonely when you're up getting down?
So I'll play along when I hear that special song
I'm gonna be the one who gets it right
You'd better move when you're swayin' round the room
Looks like the magic's only ours tonight
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two FEET can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you
Cities come and cities go, just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile
You got so many colours, make a blind man so confused
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?
So I'll just pretend that I know which way to bend
And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
Just please understand, when I see you clap your hands
If you stick around I'm sure that I'll be fine
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you
You can't make me dance around
But your two-step makes my chest pound
Just lay me down as you float away into the shimmer light
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
I'd rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you

You say I know it's a waste of time
There's no use trying
So scared that life's gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Not long ago
I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear is now overcast
With mixed emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through

Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
I think it's true
That we've all been through some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There's so much in life that's meant for you
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get up and make it happen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action
You gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get on your feet
Get up, get up, get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up, stand up and take some action
Get on your feet

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your FEET
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your FEET
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your FEET
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your FEET
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'

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
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

It's a LONELY man
Who wanders all around
It's a lonely man
Who roams from town to town
Searchin', always searchin'
For something he can't find
Hopin', always hopin'
That some day fate will be kind
It's a lonely man
Who travels all alone
When he has no one
That he can call his own
Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man
Always so unhappy
Taking shelter where he can
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man
Here I am
Come meet a lonely, lonely man

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right, say, the writing's on the wall, yeah
And it's a high time to fight when the walls are closing in
A-call it what you like, it's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely, your spirit's sinking down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town
Red lights, green lights, stop and go jive
Headlines, deadlines jamming your mind
You been stealing shots from the side
Let your feelings go for a ride
There's danger out tonight, the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite, the boys are set to prowl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight? Do you wanna take it all?
Slowdown, showdown, waiting on line
Showtime, no time, changing your mind
Streets are ringing, march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down
Somebody's watching you, baby, so much you can do
Nobody's stopping you, baby, from making it too
One glimpse'll show you now, baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now, baby, it can happen to you
No more sleeping, wasting our time
Midnight creeping's first on our mind
No more lazing around the TV
You'll go crazy, come out with me
Say you're lonely?
Come out
Lonely is the night
You don't have to be lonely
Come out
Lonely is the night

No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely 'til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely 'til you
Never knew lonely could be so blue
Never knew lonely could tear you in two
Never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you
I can't make up for the times I've been gone
I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms, girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely 'til you
Never knew lonely could be so blue
Never knew lonely could tear you in two
Never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you
Never knew lonely could be so blue
Never knew lonely could tear you in two
Never loved someone like I love you
Girl, I never knew lonely 'til you

Oh I cried last night
How I cried last night
For I knew warning you've given me last night
Now it's over yes its over
And all my tears are all too late
I won't sleep tonight
I will weep tonight
But the year fill with tears would not put this right
For I have lost you, I lost you
Now I'm only little miss LONELY
A tear is such a very lonely thing
But crying is the only thing that I can find to do since I lost you
I'm wiser now, so much wiser now
But my wisdom is the wisdom of a fool somehow
For I love you, I still love you
But I'm only little miss lonely
Move yourself, you always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself, you are the move you make
Take your chances, win or lose
See yourself, you are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself, you're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(It's much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now, the eagle in the sky
How he dancin', one and only
You lose yourself, no, not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself, give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(So much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision, they confused me so (owner of a lonely heart)
My love said, "Never question your will at all"
In the end, you've got to go
Look before you leap (owner of a lonely heart)
And don't you hesitate it at all, no-no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(So much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(So much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart (owner of a lonely heart)
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start (owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all (owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it (owner of a lonely heart)

Only the LONELY
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way

Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one-man show
Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely, I'm so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low

Feel so low
I feel low, low

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues, please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up, please come see what you do to me
The Impressions
People get READY
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
So people get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers' coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own (believe me now)
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

Catch a star if you can
Wish for somethin' special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listenin'
One melody, you're all for me
I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you
I'll paint a masterpiece just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you
Are you READY, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?

You're the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be the one for me
Say the word, I'll be there
Lovin' you forever
Don't let me go, just say it's so
We'll hear the music ring from the mountaintops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world with a lullaby
So the angels will know us, angels will know us
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am
Yes I am

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom, some
Some boys are tryin' too hard, he don't try at all though
Younger than my exes, but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you READY for it?
Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin' sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist, and
We'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every love I've known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know (No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Oh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin

I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone

In the middle of the night (Night), in my dreams (My dreams)
You should see the things we do (We do), baby (Baby), hmm (Eh)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (My dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you (I know I'm gonna be with you)

She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Look at me, can't you tell
I'd be so thrilled to see the message in your eyes?
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly, I don't need the answers

You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day
Your T-shirt, dish dirt
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
Big mouth, big mouth, drop out, drop out
You get what you deserve
You're strange, insane, one thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back yeah standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
Abused, confused, always love the one that
Hurt ya hurt ya hurt ya
It's a crack, baby I'm ready to go
