[RaspberryHats]

linked word = sweat

So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
That makes me sweat

Inxs - "Need You Tonight"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - moment

Now I don't know that your tie is straight
Your words are crooked and you're gonna pay
In ten years time they're gonna say
That this was the moment when you threw it away

And it's all wrong, handbags at dawn
And turn the radio off to hear a song
Oh please don't give up
You have a voice, don't lose it
You have a choice, so choose it
You have a brain, so use it
The time has come to
Peace the fuck out


Travis - "Peace The Fuck Out"

[GayNow]

Linked word = fuck

tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
who am i
bet you can't even tell me that much

"Untouchable Face" - Ani DiFranco

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = face

I was friendly with this girl
Who insisted on touching my face.
She told outrageous stories.
I believed them
'Til the endings were changing
From endings before.
She's not touching me anymore.

"Untogether," Belly

[watty]

linked word = before

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here


"Creep", Radiohead

Some of you may have seen this brilliant video, set to the acoustic version of Creep. I love it.

[the hero factor]

Linked words = beautiful world

My, my, my it’s a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
Roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
I like driving in my car

"Beautiful World" -Colin Hay

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=roll

Roll the windows down
this cool night air is curious
let the whole world look in
who cares who sees what tonight
roll these misty windows down
to catch my breath again
and then go and go and go just drive me
home then back again
here I lay just like always
don't let me
go take me to the edge

Deftones- Passenger

[hermitfish]

linked word = home

Holes in the cradle and the baby falls down on the floor
They said they didn't see it and they don't understand it anymore
Well, no, they didn't say it quite like that you should have heard
Listen at the door now where the sign it says 'do not disturb'

Home
I want to go home
But it's a long time ago
I'm missing on comforts as they lead us to stray
I'd like to believe you but there's something I missed
Lying flat on the floor
Feeling overrun

Touk - "Ten Overrun"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - baby

Scraping water on chocolate, butterscotch flowers
Vapor action, tropical sunshower
Baby powder, relax, feel for an hour
Sand suntan, snuggled up snug
Snowy days, fireplace, oriental rug
Thugs, lay on the couch, pull it out, perfect balance
Chemical stimuli, two tokes off the chalace

Wu Tang Clan - "Black Shampoo"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = chocolate

It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
And give every new baby a chocolate eclair

Once I was the King of Spain
now I eat humble pie

Moxy Fruvous, "King of Spain"

[GayNow]

Linked Word = laissez faire

Sitting in my easy chair
I got no friends but I really don`t care
I don`t remember birthdays
I don`t remember names
People talk to me
I know not what they say
Well my political policy is laissez faire
You keep off my thoroughfare
My weeds grow like roses
My gardens like greed
My temples are discotheques for refugees

"Planet Z" -- Idina Menzel

[watty]

linked word = easy

You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your frown
You might've succeeded in changing me
I might've been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out


"Leaving New York", REM
[br]

[Leafsdude]

Linked Words: New York

She got out of town,
On a railway New York bound.
Took all except my name,
Another alien on broadway.

Well, something's in this world,
You just can't change.
Something you can't see,
Until it gets too late.

And baby, baby, baby,
When all your love is gone,
Who will save me,
From all I'm up against out in this world?
And maybe, maybe, maybe,
You'll find something that's enough to keep you,
But if the bright lights don't recieve you,
You should turn yourself around and come on home.

Matchbox Twenty/20 - Bright Lights

[ambercissism]

Linked word: Bright

Girl, I miss you and feel you wanting me
over the telephone
I'm still here alone and though it
seems a close to perfect day
Where everything just went my way
Might have the longest night I've ever known

I wish that I was making love to you tonight
I've never seen so many stars or a moon as bright
Babe, you're all that's missing to make it all just right
And I wish that I was making love to you tonight


I WISH THAT I WAS MAKING LOVE
(TO YOU TONIGHT), Alessi Brothers

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=telephone

I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone.
And I don't know what you mean to me
but I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on
These words, "You will be mine."
These words, "You will be mine." all the time.
The fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love, make it rhyme,
Take you in, and make you mine.

R.E.M.- Strange Currencies

[Foomatic]

linked words: These Words

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn't find a killer hook
Now you've gone & raised the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...


These Words, Natasha Bedingfield

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = Keats

A dreaded sunny day,
So I meet you at the cemetery gates.
Keats and Yeats are on your side,
While Wilde is on mine.
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones.
All those people, all those lives
Where are they now?
With loves, and hates,
And passions just like mine.
They were born
And then they lived
And then they died.

"Cemetery Gates," The Smiths

[watty]

good one, Cam. Better than laissez-faire? Fight it out!

linked word = side

Thorn in my side
You know that's all you ever were
A bundle of lies
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved


"Thorn in my side", Eurythmics
[br]

[DscoAkane]

linked word - worth


I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say that she loves you
Baby, I don't wanna know
Oh, no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Really, I don't wanna know

Fleetwood Mac - "Silver Springs"

[hermitfish]

linked word = pretty

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

Princess of my dreams
Princess of my dreams
Majordomo plasticomo Barbarella
(She's so fine)
Progenetic you Electric Barbarella
(She's all mine)
My pretty pretty pretty pretty Barbarella

Duran Duran - "Electric Barbarella"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = Barbarella

Got a feeling I’ll lose control and
Got a feeling you’re gonna notice.
I’m forgetting all that I know.
Barbarella, you do this to me.
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Why don’t we change the subject?

"Barbarella," The Bongos

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=change

You walked into the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When it's all too late
It's all too late
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When it's all too late
It's all too late
Change
You can change

Tears for Fears- Change

[Foomatic]

linked words: into the room

Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of Crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.

Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy, Big & Rich

[watty]

linked word = hundred

If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord I’m one, lord I’m two, lord I’m three, lord I’m four
Lord I’m 500 miles from my home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I’m five hundred miles from my home


"500 miles", recorded by many, including Peter Paul & Mary, Elvis, Joan Baez and I think Dylan?
[br]

[Leafsdude]

Linked Word: Train

Bought a ticket for a runaway train,
Like a madman laughing at the rain.
A little out of touch,
A little insane.
It's just easier than dealing with the pain!

Runayway train,
Never going back.
Wrong way on a one way track.
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

Runaway train,
Never coming back,
Runaway train,
Tearing up the track.
Runaway train,
Burning in my veins,
I run away,
But it always seems the same.

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = track

Clickety clack, clickety clack. The wheels are saying to the railroad track.
Well, if you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back. If you go, you can't come back.

Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I use to be, work as hard as any man in town.
I got a purty gal. She thinks the world of me.
Man would be a fool to let her down. Go bum again. Go bum again.

Kingston Trio, "Fast Freight"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=nickel

The big, the fat, the cool cool cats
The psychedelic soul puts the Planets on the map.
The chic, the love, the far out name
The lack of the funk's the main why we came.
The boogie gets done, the colors won't run
The funk hits the square, the kids gotta come.
The pizza with the pop, the west 4th stop
The crew after crew that do the grasshop.
The true cool is black, the new school is fat
The beats by the ounce, the funk by the pack
The hanging off the butts with the fat sole kicks
A nickel bag of funk.

Digable Planets- Nickel Bags

[Emms]

Linked word = Love

All I really need is a song in my heart,
food in my belly,
and love in my family.
All I really need is a song in my heart
and love in my family.

And I need the rain to fall
oh, I need the sun to shine
to give life to the seeds we sow
to give the food we need to grow

All I really need is a song in my heart,
food in my belly,
and love in my family

All I Really Need ~ Raffi

[watty]

linked word = family

But you see it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are cryin'
In your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie
In your head, what's in your head, Zombie


"Zombie", Cranberries
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = guns

Maybe it's the hippies, maybe it's the addicts
Maybe it's the art, maybe it's the sex
Maybe it's the homeless, maybe it's the banks
Maybe it's the clearcut, maybe it's the ozone
Maybe it's the chemicals, maybe it's the car phones
Maybe it's the fertilizer, maybe it's the nose rings
Maybe it's the end, but I know one thing.
If it were up to me, I'd take away the guns.

Cheryl Wheeler, "If It Were Up To Me"
