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!
Led Zeppelin
"We've done four already but now we're steady
And then they went: One, two, three, four"
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags, my foots outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball
Oh ho
Oh yeah
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar (ooh)
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! (ooh)
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day (ooh)
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way?
I don't know
Oh-oh yeah
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Sitting round singing songs until the night turns into day (ooh)
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
(Ooh)
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
I blow my mind
When the tears are going down
Yeah, yeah
Oh, so good!
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the OCEAN for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here
Oh yeah, the world's a roller-coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air
Saying
I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever I got, well I know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't dig what's in so I guess I'm out
I'm saying these things so you know me baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no OCEAN
The boat that I row won't get there soon
But I got the love if you got the notion
The boat that I row's big enough for two
Me and you
There ain't a man alive can tell me what to say
I choose my own side and I like it that way
I don't worry 'bout all the things I love
There's only one thing of what I ain't got
You know that I'm thinking about you baby
But you better know 'fore you come along
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get there soon
But I got the love if you got the notion
The boat that I row's big enough for two

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, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any OCEAN
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
And how can I feel you're all that matters?
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near?
There's no way any hurt can get through
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
With you
Suddenly, the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly, I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you, ooh

I watch the distant lights go down the runway
Disappear into the evening sky
Oh, you know I'm with you on your journey
Never could say goodbye
And you waken in another country
Greet the morning under foreign skies
Leaving me to face another Monday
It's not easy to get by
It's not the place you're going to
It's just a phase you're going through
Though I won't stop you, I don't want you to
Breakaway
Fly across your OCEAN
Breakaway
Time has come for you
Breakaway
Fly across your ocean
Breakaway
Time has come
Now you travel on your own opinion
Leave your fears and doubts to fade away
Dust your dreams and take them on your journey
Spread your wings and fly away
Stop is all you're trying to find
Something else is on your mind
You need a little space and time
Breakaway
It's not the place you're going to
It's just a phase you're going through
Though I won't stop you, I don't want you to
Breakaway
Fly across your ocean

Time has come for you

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house."
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife."
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was and look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Letting the days go by, same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Once in a lifetime (Let the water hold me down)
Letting the days go by (Water flowing underground)
Into the blue again
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one-note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
On the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the PAGE
Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered so you don't dare make a stand
Oh, here I am
On the road again
There I am
On the stage, yeah
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the PAGE
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Ah, here I go
Playing star again
There I go

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside him, there's longing
This girl's an open PAGE
Book marking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

One time, oh, oh
We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did
Seasons must change
Separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain

Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half of the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away
That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, now that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through the pain
That's alright, let's turn the PAGE

It goes this way, yeah
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad

I don't want you mad
Come on, girl
Woo, ow

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Ah
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
Well, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!
Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
No more!

There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, "Oppression"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded EQUAL rights
They say, "The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light"
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept EQUAL
By hatchet, axe, and saw
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you

Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you, baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you, baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're going, only know just where you've been

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl, girl, girl
When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl, girl, girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there,
You feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to EARN his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?

That teaches every little boy and girl
To EARN as much as they can possibly
Then turn around and spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money that we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So we're shoppin' every Sunday at the mall
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry Hell in every vein
World's possessions, endless tears
Truth and knowledge stolen all their years
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Words are poison, passion bleeds
Two thousand years on Earth has sown the seeds
The time of dreams has turned
The night is gone and light shines on
Where darkness once would hide
With spirits high, our fears were born
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart, oh
Deceiver of night, the stranger that laughs within you
The reason for your restless heart, oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
Wings that carry Hell in every vein
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Can faith destroy desire?
Each breath a prayer, each step brings fear
The eyes of they that see have evil stare
Watch over me
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart, oh
Deceiver of night, the stranger that laughs within you
The reason for your restless heart, oh
Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
What God is this that stands to hear his people cry?
What hand would strike and watch his people die?
What life that takes, what future did we EARN?
It's our mistakes, take heed the Sabbath Stones

APRIL, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
MAY, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
[Verse 2]
JUNE, she'll change her tune
In restless walks, she'll prowl the night
JULY,she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
[Verse 3]
AUGUST, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
SEPTEMBER, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when SEASON ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends
Wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends

It was a hot afternoon
The last day of JUNE
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One tin 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 thirty-one
And I was seventeen
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 Juliet
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her tulip
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
And 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 tin in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

Oh, what a night
Late DECEMBER, back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night
You know, I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feeling
When she walked in the room
And my, as I recall
It ended much too soon
(Oh, what a night)
Hypnotizing, mesmerizin' me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
And I felt a rush
Like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around
And takin' my body under
(Oh, what a night)
Oh, I got a funny feeling
When she walked in the room
And my, as I recall
It ended much too soon
(Oh, what a night)
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I felt a rush
Like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around
And takin' my body under
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do...
Out of the street - get on home
Tail shaking filly running on her own
They say she got loose on the night
She was born
Cranking it up in a school zone
"Kick it out - Kick it out", she said
"kick out your motor and drive
While you're still alive - kick it out!"
Sitting in a bar in a seaside town
Sweet little love getting high getting down
Sailors see her running along the beach
Laugh and jump out of reach
Wild music blowing in her mane
She needs a bareback rider won't give her
No pain
A hard racy game of give and take
Leaves them dazed - half crazed- in her wake
"Kick it out - Kick it out", she said
"kick out your motor and drive
While you're still alive - kick it out!"
And right now, right now
Right now, it's time to
KICK out the jams, motherfuckers
Yeah, I, I, I, I, I'm gonna
I'm gonna KICK 'em out, yeah
Well, I feel pretty good and I guess that I could get crazy now, baby
'Cause we all got in tune and when the dressing room got hazy, now baby
I know how you want it child, hot, quick and tight
The girls can't stand it when you're doin' it right
Let me up on the stand and let me KICK out the jam
Yes, KICK out the jams
I want to KICK 'em out
Yes, I'm starting to sweat, you know my shirt's all wet, what a feeling
In the sound that abounds and resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
You gotta have it baby, you can't do without
When you get that feeling, you gotta sock 'em out
Put that mike in my hand and let me KICK out the jam
Yes, KICK out the jams
I want to KICK 'em out
So you got to give it up, you know you can't get enough Miss Mackenzie
'Cause it gets in your brain, it drives you insane with the frenzy
The wigglin' guitars girl, the crash of the drums
Make you wanna keep a rockin' till morning comes
Let me be who I am and let me KICK out the jam
Yes, KICK out the jams
I done KICKED 'em out

There was a lot of rocking going on that night
Cruising time for the young bright lights
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door
The five lamp boys were coming on strong
The Saturday night city beat had already started
And the, the pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action
And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light
And said "tonight of all nights, there's gonna be a fight"
Billy don't like it living here in this town
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors"
And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores
There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks"
It's a rat trap Billy, but you're already caught
And you can make it if you wanna or you need it bad enough
You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough
Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down
Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town
It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored
You don't know what it is but, there's got to be more
You'd better find a way out, hey KICK down that door
It's a rat trap and you've been caught
In this town Billy says "everybody's trying to tell you what to do"
In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules"
You walk up to those traffic lights
You switch from your left to right
You push in that button and that button comes alight
And hits you
"Walk, don't walk
Walk, don't walk
Talk, don't talk
Talk, don't talk"
"Walk, don't walk
Walk, don't walk
Talk, don't talk
Talk, don't talk"
Hey Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Billy take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Hey Billy, take a walk with me
Take a walk that leads to me
Sweet high school blues
Oh little Judy's trying to watch "top of the pops"
But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop
She takes off her coat and walks down into the street
It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat
Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p
Hey is that any way for a young girl to be?
I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory
Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy money
Now, now, now na na
Her mind's made up, she walks down the road
Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold
She finds Billy down at the Italian cafe
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
But then he mumbles in his coffee and he suddenly roars
"It's a rat trap Judy; and we've been caught"
Rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught (the boys are 'round and they're lookin' for a mate)
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught
In a rat trap, you've been caught

My story is much too sad to be told
But practically everything
Leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old enui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrificly too
Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick, though its clear to me you obviously don't
Adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high
With some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do
Yet I get a kick
Out of you

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

Brother Nigel paints the stairs with the signs of the Zodiac
Throws milk in the mirror as he stands in his plastic bag
My sister Emma rides ever round and round the garden
Spends the whole day saying: "I beg your pardon"
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the HOUSE that Jack built, baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Uncle Joe cracks walnuts in between his toes for fun
And looks through coloured glass at the dark spots on the sun
And Mary, she believes that her mother was a queen
Keep saying you just missed him, King Solomon has just been
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me
Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated by the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you, only for you

This ole HOUSE once knew his children
This ole house once new his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about.
(Ain't a gonna need this house no longer

This ole house is getting shaky
This ole house is getting old
This ole house lets in the rain

Oh his knees are a getting chilly
But he feels no fear nor pain
Cause he seeks a new tomorrow
Through a golden window pain

This ole house is afraid of storms

When the night wind flings it arms
This ole house is getting feeble
This ole house is a needing paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
He's a getting ready to meet his fate

I can see you now living like a queen
In a HOUSE that has everything, everything but love
Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines
Yes you'll really have everything, everything but love
I see diamonds and sables, sapphires and pearls
And as the picture clears
Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
Counting her treasures in tears
Better just a shack where two people care
Than a house that has everything, everything but love

Ah, watch out
You might get what you're after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight
Wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
Ah, all wet
Hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
365 degrees
Burning down the house
Ah, it was once upon a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work
And, baby what do you expect?
Gonna burst into flames, ah
Burning down the house
My house
Is out of the ordinary
That's right
Don't wannna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect
Staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, ah
