Linked word = Darling

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

Tegan & Sara - And Darling

[nerdbert]

linked word: strangers

I've seen that life
Touches us with pain
And we change
Becoming strangers to our friends
Tell me what happens along the way

I thought of us
Hard to talk these days
Did we change
Or were we strangers all along
Tell me what caused us to turn away

October Project - "Wall Of Silence"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = days

I draw a jackal-headed woman in the sand.
Sing of a lover's fate, sealed by jealous hate
And wash my hands in the sea.
With just three days more
I'd have just about learned the entire score
To Aida.

"Verdi Cries," Ten Thousand Maniacs

[justin]

linked word = sand

Sundown all around
Walking thru the summer's end
Waves crash baby, don't look back
I won't walk away again

Oh, baby, anywhere you go,
We are bound together
I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever !

Circle in the sand
'Round and 'round
Never ending love is what we've found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand

Circle in the sand - Belinda Carlisle

[watty]

linked word = around

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.


"Rock around the clock", Bill Haley and the Comets (1953, man!)

[hermitfish]

linked word = five

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water we've played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too

And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade

Mazzy Star - "Five String Serenade"

[DscoAkane]

linked work - drew

Lord, I got to ask a favor
And hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood


Jon Bon Jovi - "Blaze of Glory"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = stand

I’m ready as I’ll ever be
I’ve done all one man can
No one now will rescue me
Here I’ll make my stand

The State Police, they came around
They said I should not stay
I thanked them for their kind concern
And sent them on their way

Richard Shindell, "Waiting for the Storm"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = police

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no.
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain’t nice.
And when I fall asleep I don’t think I’ll survive the night.

"Dream Police," Cheap Trick

[meretricious]

linked word =night

i can surely keep you out of sight
forget about the way you look
your smile, the way you speak
but i've heard in the dead of night
outside my window silence breaking
with the solid destination of your lonesome speed

"wheels", lone justice

[nerdbert]

linked word: look

If they asked me, I could write a book;
About the way you walk, and whisper;
And look.
I could write a preface;
On how we met;
That the world will never forget.

And the simple;
Secret of the plot;
Is just to tell them;
That I love you, alot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
How to make two lovers of friends

Frank Sinatra - "I Could Write a Book"

[EasierSaid]

linked word = whisper

love comes
down upon us till it flows like water
burning with the hope of insight
feathered books, the colors of the bright elation
stolen in the sight of love

we are we are we are we're just children
finding our way around indecision
we are we are we are rather helpless
changes forever
whisper to a scream

"Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)" - Icicle Works

[DscoAkane]

linked word - helpless

You know I have never washed a sweater
I never knew when my hair was to long
I got the cab calls out of my hi-fi
I learned a lot since you've been gone
I've done a lot since you've been gone

Not bitter-beat the vicious cycle
Typecast as the model couple
I'm sorry but I don't feel awful
It wasn't the end of the world
I'm sorry I can't be helpless
It wasn't the end of the world

Waitresses - "No Guilt"

[hin768]

linked word = sweater

If you want to destroy my sweater
Pull this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel i'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone

Weezer - "The Sweater Song"

[watty]

linked word = floor

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn


"Torn", Natalie Imbruglia
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = faith

I have faith in you
I have trust in me
I feel the pull of the river now and I want to go
I hope you find your river soon and you meet me
When we have followed our rivers down to the sea

Deb Talan - "Something Burning"

[lollipopgirl]

linked word = go

Dig deep, fly low, celebrate a tv show
Raise the stakes, drop the pressure, happiness you'll never measure
Bite your tongue, pay the man, time to start your five year plan
Holiday in Vietnam, then blow a kiss to Uncle Sam.

And that's the way to go!
And that's the way to go, to go!

Fake it baby - They won't even know!
You can make it
Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go

Rogue Traders - "Way To Go"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = happiness

Misery
Says, "I believe in destiny"
Says, "Destiny says brought us together"
Says, "Who's that asshole in the corner?"
Happiness
Doodles on a cocktail napkin
And waits for you to figure out
That you should really lose this loser

Susan Werner, "Misery and Happiness"

[watty]

linked word = corner

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved


"She will be loved", Maroon 5
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = rain

Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too

All through the morning rain I gaze - the sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

Shuggie Otis - "Strawberry Letter 23"

[willowfan7]

linked word = morning

Well an angel kissed my hands
While I slept last night
And when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some
Get some while I'm still tall
Oh, let's tell the world we're unheard

Heavy-Tegan and Sara

[DscoAkane]

linked word: angel


Why am I standing on a cloud
Every time you're around
And my sadness disappears
Every time you are near


You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
And just now I realize

Madonna - "Angel"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = wonder

And sometimes
When I'm sleeping,
I dream of you
And I wonder

And sometimes
When I forget,
I call for you
And I wonder

Gary Numan - "I Wonder"

[hermitfish]

linked word = dream

Do I have to spell it out for ya'?
What must I do to get it through your head?
Do I have to tell you what I'm thinking all the time?
I didn't like the things she said

And when I dream at night
And when I feel alright

I think about the things she said
And the things you do in bed
And I think I didn't like the things she said

The Cogs - "The Things She Said"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = said

The Sergeant said, "Sir, with all this equipment
No man will be able to swim."
"Sergeant, don't be a Nervous Nellie,"

Men, follow me, I'll lead on."
We were -- neck deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool said to push on.

Pete Seeger, "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = follow

I was on the inside when they
Pulled the fours walls down.
I was looking through the window,
I was lost, I am found.
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away.
I will follow.

"I Will Follow," U2

[willowfan7]

Linked word = away

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly

Gavin DeGraw - Chariot

[watty]

linked word = place

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


"Sweet Child of Mine", Guns N Roses
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = childhood

So you're trying to talk
Any day now you'll walk
You'll be running around
Make me act like a clown
'Cos I live and I breathe
For my little girl
Our little girl
The most important thing is this whole wide world
Now daddy know what he's saying
Your in my arms and I'm praying
That I'll be given the strength and time
To make yours just as happy as mine
Your childhood

The Proclaimers - "Your Childhood"

[Leafsdude]

Linked Word: World

And the one poor child who saved this world,
And there's 10 million more who probably could,
If we all just stopped,
And said a prayer for them.

So take these words,
And sing out loud.
'Cause everyone,
Is forgiven now.
'Cause tonight's the night,
The world begins again.

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days
