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!

Tropical summer, balmy day
Sit around you haven't much to say
'Cos the HEAT is on,
The heat is on.
You know you're in the hands of fate
Now you've gone and found me you appreciate
That the heat is on,
The heat is on.
You're on the road to Mandalay
Never gonna make it try another day
'Cos the heat is on,
The heat is on.
Temperature is rising to fever pitch
Sun is getting closer we all get rich
'Cos the heat is on,
The heat is on.
Hot pants and feet
Can't believe the madness sure feels sweet
The heat is on,
Heat is on.
Sun sun sun dazzle,
Sun sun sun dazzle,
Go wild, gonna rattle
When the heat is on.
Tropical Summer balmy day
Don't say much, ain't much to say
'Cos the heat is on,
The heat is on.
The heat is on, the heat is on,
The heat is on, the heat is on.
Hot pants and feet
Sure be sweet
The heat is on,
Daddy yeah...the heat is on.
Tropical Summer balmy day...
The heat is on...
You're on the road to Mandalay
Never gonna make it try another day
The heat is on,
Temperature is rising to fever pitch....

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe the smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance?
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the HEAT of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot spots hold no charm for me
You can concern yourself with bigger things
You catch a pearl and ride the dragon's wings
'Cause it's the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
And when your looks have gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone?
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambitions, you remember well
It was the heat of the moment
Telling you what your heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
It was the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
BY THE WAY, I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE MYSELF AS THE UNOFFICIAL WINNER OF TODAYS “WORD” POST! 🏆

HOT town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt' and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half-dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the HEAT it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evenin' in the city
Dress so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm wheezin' like a bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt', and, and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people lookin' half-dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city

HOT dog, you say you're really coming back
Hot dog, I'm waiting at the railway track
Hot dog, you say you're coming home for good
Hot dog, I'm going to keep knocking on wood
And baby, I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog
I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're coming home to stay
Hot dog, soon everything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I've got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog
You went away and every day was misery
But now you're coming back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walking off the train
Oh how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in
Hot dog, baby, baby, hot dog
We want to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you're qualified, are you gonna do it
Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it
Feel the HEAT pushing you to decide
Feel the HEAT burning you up, ready or not
Some like it HOT and some sweat when the HEAT is on
Some feel the HEAT and decide that they can't go on
Some like it HOT, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it HOT, so let's turn up the HEAT 'til we fry
The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it
Feel the HEAT pushing you to decide
Feel the HEAT burning you up, ready or not
Some like it HOT and some sweat when the HEAT is on
Some like it HOT, some like it HOT
Feel the HEAT pushing you to decide
Feel the HEAT burning you up, ready or not
Some like it HOT and some sweat when the HEAT is on
Some feel the HEAT and decide that they can't go on
Some like it HOT, but you can't tell how HOT 'til you try
Some like it HOT, so let's turn up the HEAT 'til we fry
Some like it HOT, some like it HOT
Some like it HOT, some like it HOT

We've been shearing sheep, we've been mustering stock
We've been culling out roos, we've been spraying the crops
We've been droving cattle up an old stock route
Now it's Saturday night, we pile in the ute
We're the boys from the bush, and we're back in town
Well, the dog's in the back and the foot goes down
We're life members of the outback club
We're the boys from the bush come in from the scrub
We've been out in the heat, we've been loading the trucks
Been fixing fences, we've been choking on dust
We curse the rain, we curse the drought
Now it's Saturday night and we're all in the shout
We're the boys from the bush, and we're back in town
We get high when the sun goes down
We're life members of the outback club
We're the boys from the bush come in from the scrub
We work the land through fire and flood
It's in our hearts, it runs in the blood
We're the boys from the bush, and we're back in town
Well, we raise hell when the sun goes down
We're life members of the outback club
We're the boys from the bush come in from the scrub
Yeah, we're the boys from the bush, and we're back in town
We get high when the sun goes down
We're life members of the outback club
We're the boys from the bush come in from the scrub
We're the boys from the bush comin' in from the scrub

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (heat wave, c'mon)
Can't keep from crying (heat wave)
It's tearing me apart (heat wave)
Whenever he calls my name (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, I feel that burning flame (burning, burning)
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (heat wave)
Can't keep from crying (heat wave)
It's tearing me apart (heat wave)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face (face, face, face)
I can't explain it (don't understand it)
I hadn't ever felt like this before
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I Don't know what to do
My head's in a haze
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (heat wave)
Can't keep from crying (heat wave)
It's tearing me apart (heat wave)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (burning, burning)
Yeah, yeah oh, oh (heat wave)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (burning, burning, oh, oh)
(Heat wave)
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance
Heat wave

The Who
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
Mm, mm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the EYE of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the EYE of the tiger
Face to face, out on the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive
It's the EYE of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the EYE of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
The EYE of the tiger
The EYE of the tiger
The EYE of the tiger
The EYE of the tiger

(Hey! Psst Psst! Here she comes now)
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues
She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red EYE shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much
She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, rip her to shreds
Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Yeah, you know her, with the fish-eating grin
She's so dull
Yeah, she got the nerve to tell me!
Huh, she's so dull
Yeah, there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon

By the way she was smiling, with her EYES so beguiling
I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance
She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way
It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call, are you going to fall ?
She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me
What would I do, were I in her place ?
When love is new, it's so hard to face
Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer
Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face
She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside.
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin' the lines
When you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies
You can't escape my
Private EYES
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private EYES
They're watching you
Private EYES
They're watching you watching
You watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain't enough

Don't lie when you're hurting inside
'Cause you can't escape my
Private EYES
They're watching you

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try, turnin' tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your EYES
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the EYE in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving
I am the EYE in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more

Everything I ever had
I let it slip away
Every dream I ever dreamed
Was crossed until today
For I have seen tomorrow
Where my future lies
I see it every time
When I look into
Your beautiful EYES
Oh, I'm holding on now
I'm holding on now
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Maybe I was too afraid
To show my broken heart
Fading in the shadows
And my world just came apart
Looking at you now
I feel what I never felt before
But I'm finally ready
To risk it all once more
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
You can believe in taking chances
Oh...
Baby, take this one with me
Can't you see what I see
I'm holding on
Oh, love, don't let me go
Love, please let me know
Have you been waiting
Just the way that I've been waiting
Love, don't let me go
Love, please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Please let me show
How much I want to
Be the one who loves you now
Mmh
Be the one who loves you now.

By the look in your EYE
I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home
You had romance
Did you break it by chance
Over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
That's my home
Oh, you keep telling me
You keep telling me I'm your man
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy
Who gives girl the eye
Everybody knows
But I love them and I leave them
Break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
That's my home
And I like it that way
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis EYES
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis EYES
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you, she's got Bette Davis EYES
She'll tease you

These arms
Long to hold you
Again
[Bridge]
The hurtin's on me, yeah
And I will never be free
No, my baby, no no
You gave the promise to me, yeah
And you broke it
And you broke it, oh no
These eyes
Watched you bring my world
To an end
This heart
Could not accept
And pretend
[Bridge]
The hurtin's on me, yeah
And I will never be free, no, no, no
You took the vow with me, yeah
When you spoke it
When you spoke it, babe, ah
[Chorus]
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they're never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
[Chorus]
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they're never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they're never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
[Verse 1]
These eyes
Cry every night
For you
These arms
These arms long to hold you
Hold you again, ah
[Chorus]
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they're never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
[Chorus]
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they're never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
[Chorus]
These eyes
Are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they never gonna see another one

But they never gonna see another one
Like I had with you
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't ya know these eyes are cryin' every night
I need you back in my heart
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your EYES
The light, the heat
(Your EYES )
I am complete
(Your EYES )
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
(Your EYES)
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
(Your EYES)
I see the light and the heat
(Your EYES ) I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your EYES
In your EYES
In your EYES
In your EYES
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your EYES
The light, the heat
(Your EYES )
I am complete
(Your EYES )
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
(Your EYES)
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
(Your EYES)
I see the light and the heat
(Your eyes) I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your EYES
In your EYES
In your EYES
In your EYES
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
'Til there's nothing left, woah
It remains there in your EYES
Whatever comes and goes
Oh, it's in your EYES
There's a tear in your eye
And I'm wondering why
For it never should be there at all
With such pow'r in your smile
Sure a stone you'd beguile
So there's never a teardrop should fall
When your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile
And now, smile a smile for me
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away
For your smile is a part
Of the love in your heart
And it makes even sunshine more bright
Like the linnet's sweet song
Crooning all the day long
Comes your laughter and light
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth's hours
Let us smile each chance we get
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
I spent so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car, go to Las Vegas
Ooh, gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh
I'm on a bus, on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
Such a human waste
You're eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb, she'd just turned 21
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down, why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing that you had ever seen
You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe that such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast
You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance
Go baby, go, go
We're right behind you
Go baby, go, go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby, go, go
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby, go baby
Yeah, we're right behind you
Go baby, go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby, go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby, go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby, go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
You hold a candle in your heart (Go baby, go, go)
You shine the light on hidden parts (Go baby, go, go)
You make the whole world wanna dance (Go baby, go, go)
You bought yourself a second chance (Go baby, go baby, go)
Delicate boy (Go baby, go baby, go)
In the hysterical realm (Go baby, go baby, go)
Of an emotional landslide (Go baby, go baby, go)
In physical terms (Go baby, go, go)
Go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby, go, go
Oh, we're right behind you
Honey, why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey, why you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the LIPS of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the LIPS of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No, I don't think she has a clue
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the LIPS of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the LIPS of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the LIPS of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the LIPS of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the LIPS of an angel
Honey, why you calling me so late?

It was a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore, it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing 'bout love
She knew everything
But I sat down beside her
On a front porch swing
And wondered what the
Coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the skies
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down
The front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her
She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two LIPS
And when she looked at me
I heard her softly say
"I know you're young
You don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until
The sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away"
And then she smiled
Then we talked for a while
Then we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand
And a boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man
Ten years have gone by
Since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers
It was a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
When they gave out LIPS like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line
Raven hair and ruby LIPS
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night (woo-ooh)
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room (woo-ooh)
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Ah, oh, ah-ah (aah-ah)
Ah, oh, ah-ah (aah-ah)
Ah, oh, ah-ah
Ah, oh, ah-ah (aah-ah)
Ah, oh, ah-ah (aah-ah)
Ah, oh, ah-ah
Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you, brother
She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed
And there's some rumors going 'round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo-hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
What is the significance of 30, June?

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

Little Big Town, GIRL CRUSH
I've got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a hard rush
It's slowin' down
I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh
She's givin' you now
I want to taste her LIPS
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blond hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, 'cause maybe then
You'd want me just as much
I've got a girl crush
I've got a girl crush
I don't get no sleep
I don't get no peace
Thinkin' about her
Under your bed sheets
The way that she's whisperin'
The way that she's pullin' you in
Lord knows I've tried
I can't get her off my mind
I want to taste her LIPS
Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blond hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, 'cause maybe then
You'd want me just as much
I've got a girl crush
I've got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
It ain't slowin' down
I wasn’t aware that ELVIRA had a version with explicit lyrics. My eyes scanned over the words and I didn’t see anything that looked questionable.
You keep me connected to you, like I was your shadow
You're givin' me answers to all of my questions here on my pillow, oh
Can't nothing get in between us, baby
We've been waiting on this moment for so long
You wanna be reckless, restless, right until tomorrow
Wait
When I put my lips on you
I feel the shivers go up and down your spine for me
Make you cry for me
When I put my lips on you
I hear your voice echoing all through the night for me
Baby, cry for me
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
Just turn off the lights and you could be my private dancer
When we close the curtains
You and me can forget all our manners, oh
The neighbors must think that we're crazy, baby
'Cause look how easily we keep coming undone
You wanna be reckless, restless, right until tomorrow
Wait
When I put my lips on you
I feel the shivers go up and down your spine for me
Make you cry for me
When I put my lips on you
I hear your voice echoing all through the night for me
Baby, cry for me
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you
I feel the shivers go up and down your spine for me
Make you cry for me
When I put my lips on you
I hear your voice echoing all through the night for me
Baby, cry for me
Baby, when I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips on you (when I, when I, when I)

Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife
Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us ROCK-and-roll?
Chuck Berry's got to be the greatest thing that came along
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Hum diddy waddy doo)
Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock-and-roll stars
Yeah, the critics kept a-knocking
But the stars kept a-rocking
And the chopping didn't get very far
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Nothing's really moving until the saxophone's ready to blow
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
And the beat's not jumping until the drummer says he's ready to go
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Do you remember?)
Let's hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
Let's hear the background
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's ROCK
Everybody, let's ROCK
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse ROCK
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang
Let's ROCK
Everybody, let's ROCK
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse ROCK
Number 47 said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's ROCK
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse ROCK, ROCK, ROCK
Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
Let's ROCK
Everybody, let's ROCK
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse ROCK
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake

Well, I'm hanging on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I won't let go and I can't let go
Won't let go and I can't let go
Won't let go and I can't let go no more
(Won't let go and I can't let go no more)
For me, He was chastised, for me, He was hated
For me, He was rejected by a world that He created
Nations are angry, cursed are some
People are expecting a false peace to come
Well, I'm hanging on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I won't let go and I can't let go
Won't let go and I can't let go
Won't let go and I can't let go no more
(Won't let go and I can't let go no more)
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Twenty-four hours a day, you can feel it and you can hear it
Using every angle under the sun
And He never give up 'til the battle's lost or won
Well, I'm hanging on (oh yes, I am)
To a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
I won't let go and I can't let go
I won't let go and I can't let go
Won't let go and I can't let go no more
(Won't let go and I can't let go no more)
She asked me maybe
I would share her sorrow
For all the men that tried to treat her wrong
Though just a baby
A waiting her tomorrow
It's ROCK me baby, ROCK me baby
All night long
She needs an answer to her confusion
Someone to guide her with tenderness
But if she's asking for a solution
All that she gets
You know it's something like this
I don't know where we come from
I don't know where we're going to
But if all of this should have a reason
We would be the last to know
So let's just hope there is a promised land
Hang on till then as best you can
Everybody's ills you know it
Fills her with compassion
That's why she tries to save the world alone
She helps the needy in her own fashion
And tries to give them all her own
She needs an answer for her confusion
Someone to guide her with tenderness
But when she's asking for a solution
All that she gets you know it's something like this
I don't know where we come from
I don't know where we're going to
But if all of this should have a reason
We would be the last to know
So let's just hope there is a promised land
Hang on till then as best you can
ROCK me baby, ROCK me baby all night long
ROCK me baby, ROCK me baby all night long

I remember when ROCK was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will
Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
But the years went by and the rock just died
Susie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
It's gotta be ROCK’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends
(Together again)
When I meet my friends
(I'm gonna see them now)
And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool
It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it's only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(You know you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose
It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must've been about 17
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love ROCK 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love ROCK 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'Cause it's all the same"
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love ROCK 'n roll

So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on and singin' that same old song
Yeah, with me, singin'
"I love ROCK 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love ROCK 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
I love ROCK 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

So come and take your time and dance with-
I love ROCK 'n roll

The fields of Eden
Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
We'll never get it back
People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town
We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock, yeah, and a hard place
This talk of freedom
And human rights
Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire
End up nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah
We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
(You'd better stop)
Put on a kind face
Between a rock, yeah, and a hard place
We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Building dream churches
With the silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, yeah, get a load of it
Give me the truth now
Don't want no shame
I'd be hung, drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb
Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
A rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Can't you see what you're doing to me
Between a rock and a hard place
(That's what I said)
Between a rock and a hard place
(Yeah)
You'd better stop
(Stop, yeah, you'd better stop)
Put on a kind face
(Just a little smile)
Yeah, come on and lay better now, yeah
Come on now, yeah
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
Stood there boldly, sweatin' in the Sun
Felt like a million, felt like number one
The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong
Like a ROCK
I was 18, didn't have a care
Working for peanuts, not a dime to spare
But I was lean and solid everywhere
Like a ROCK
My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
And I held firmly to what I felt was right
Like a ROCK
Like a ROCK , I was strong as I could be
Like a ROCK, nothin' ever got to me
Like a ROCK , I was something to see
Like a ROCK
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
20 years now, where'd they go?
20 years, I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall, I recall
Like a ROCK, standin' arrow straight
Like a ROCK, chargin' from the gate
Like a ROCK, carryin' the weight
Like a ROCK
Oh, like a ROCK, the sun upon my skin
Like a ROCK , hard against the wind
Like a ROCK, I see myself again
Like a ROCK
Oh, like a ROCK
Goanna
Out here, nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light of day
Talkin' 'bout a chosen place
They wanna sell it in a marketplace, well
Just a minute now
But they were standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Right down the line
I wanna follow up, but incase I'm needed
Be formidable on a playlist
My community don't need savin'
My community don't need saviours
I'm ancient, I'm current, I'm present, I'm knowledged
My sixty thousand turned into album, turned into public forum
Your validation on your resume
Now without a station, would you really stay
Is you for the people or is you for the pay
Are you thinkin' equal or do you talk with pain
They won't see me for a day, I'm processin' the pain
I'm dealin' with the life and one step that remains
My death gon' by my death, but my boast before the chain
My life won't be my life if these policies remain
I done seen my grandma cry, she just toss another lid
I see life expectancy singing every single step
I see brilliant man on corner, he be aimin' for my neck
They forget, you forget, I remind you they were standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Hey, blowin' down the line
They forget, you forget, I remind you they were standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin' down the line

So you want to be a ROCK and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play
And with your hair swung right
And your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two if you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart
The price you paid for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim
Don't forget what you are, you're a ROCK and roll star
La, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la
Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating
We were the first band to vomit at the bar
And find the distance to the stage too far
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
Long live rock! I need it every night
Long live rock! Come on and join the line
Long live rock! Be it dead or alive
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong
Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
Long live rock! I need it every night
Long live rock! Come on and join the line
Long live rock! Be it dead or alive
Landslide, rocks are falling, falling down upon our very heads
We tried but you were yawning, look again
Rock is dead
Rock is dead
Rock is dead
The place is really jumping to the high watt amps
'Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
In the blackout they danced right into the aisle
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock, long live rock
Long live rock
Long live rock
Long live rock
Long live rock
Long live rock
Long live rock! I need it every night
Long live rock! Come on and join the line
Long live rock! Be it dead or alive

Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin'
We will, we will ROCK you
We will, we will ROCK you
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
We will, we will ROCK you, sing it
We will, we will ROCK you
Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes, gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will, we will ROCK you, sing it
We will, we will ROCK you, everybody
We will, we will ROCK you, hmm
We will, we will ROCK you
Alright
Led Zeppelin
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has
It's been a long time since the Book of Love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
Whoa, whoa, oh
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Oh, seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Oh yeah, open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
Yeah!
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
