Linked words=I love you

I often feel
like the prodigal son,
take all I need
giving back none.
Our beauty shows
in such different ways,
you're like the light behind the fog,
so soft
but still you burn my eyes away.
I found my brother in there,
deep in my heart.
I found my brother in there,
hold in my arms
I love you.
And if I seem too quiet now,
there are no words to show you how
I love you.

Toad the Wet Sprocket- Brother

[watty]

linked word = beauty

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...


"Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley (originally Leonard Cohen)
[br]

[Artemis]

Linked word = love

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark
Listen to your heart

Roxette, "Listen to your Heart"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = wake

You take a snack to fill the gap
And then you’re ready for another shift
Your attention was diverted
By the girl who smiled and made the lift
The radio is blaring out
It’s in one ear and then it’s out
You didn’t notice that the record’s over

Who cares? you might be dead
Who cares? you stayed in bed
Who cares? you wrote the note
Who cares? you might have spoke

Wake up!

XTC - "Wake Up!"

[watty]

linked word = radio

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing
My senses together
And I think it's about to break

If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline


"Union of the Snake", Duran Duran
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = TV

So I'll do the dishes in the morning
This time I swear I won't forget
I know it's still a little early
But I think it's time to go to bed

Time is passing in the TV light
It's such a shame to waste another night
When there ain't nothing on the silver screen
Can hold a candle to you and me

Richard Shindell, "TV Light"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - dust

Now it's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer,
When it blows in a crimson tide.
Until trees and leaves and the cows are the colour,
Of the dirt on the mountainside.

But when I pass through the pearly gate,
Will my gown be gold instead?
Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings,
And a red clay halo for my head?

Gillian Welsh - "Red Clay Halo"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=halo

For their blindness
she sees much further.
like on a wide-screen viewing
going down on her.
She's so pretty.
Her hair is a mess.
We all love her,
to that we confess.
She has a halo,
we really do adore her.
For she has a halo,
can we touch her?
She believes in everything.
She believes in nothing, in everything.

Texas- Halo

[hermitfish]

linked word = mess

We did not ask how things were defined
Some pieces were missing but the puzzle looked fine
One day we looked up from inside a song
Something felt more right, something was wrong

Should we regret love like this?
It's not a shame, it's tenderness
But we made a mess
And that is how we'll be remembered here

Deb Talan - "Tenderness"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = song

There’s somethin’ about this Sunday
It’s a most peculiar gray
Strollin’ down the avenue that’s known as A-1-A
Feelin’ tired, then I got inspired
I knew that it wouldn’t last long
So all alone I walked back home
Sat on my beach and then I made up this song

Jimmy Buffett "Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = home

And I recall in my sleep
How you changed my life on Magnolia Street
A dream, but it's true:
I am not the same since I met you
And I feel like i'm going home
But not to the one I've known

Catie Curtis - Magnolia Street

[DscoAkane]

linked word - known

So many people walking down the street
So many footsteps on the hard concrete
Everybody's talking on their own cell phone
Why does everybody look so all alone

So much junk mail with my name spelled wrong
So many clubs to which I don't belong
So many things I can call my own
Why do I sometimes feel so all alone

Closer, come closer
cause I need to feel you right here by my side
You're the only comfort I've ever known
When I'm with you I don't feel alone

Jenny Bruce - "Comfort"

[hermitfish]

linked word = phone

Are you still waking in a panic?
Are you still sleeping in a ball?
Are you still eating dinner in your car?
Can't waste precious working hours
And the phone keeps ringing, like a church on judgment day
You say it drives you crazy
Wouldn't have it any other way

What are you running after these days?
Who are you leaving home alone?
I hope that she's strong
What are you running after these days?
You any closer to the spotlight
Now that I'm gone?

Bird York - "What Are You Running After"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = sleeping

I don’t want to talk about it
I’ve done enough I think
I don’t want to spend more money
Don’t want another drink
I would scratch out all the images
If I had the chance
Don’t ask me what I’m thinking
Can’t you see I only want to dance

Dance without sleeping
Dance without fear
Dance without senses no message I hear
Dance without sleeping
Dance till I’m numb
Dance till I think I can overcome

Melissa Etheridge - Dance Without Sleeping

[JustSkipIt]

Linked word = talk

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

Two out of Three Ain't Bad - Meatloaf

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = never

I brought myself to your attention,
for someone in my situation
the biggest crime against love is having none

Not a million miles from here,
not over there
there's someone here,
an obvious and eager volunteer

I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to feel this way
I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to again

Never Not Going To - Horse

[watty]

ETA: linked word = crime

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no tim
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again


"We can work it out," Beatles
[br]

[DscoAkane]

linked word - knows

You'll do whatever you please
And I'll do whatever I can
Titanic, fare thee well,
My eyes are turning pink
Don't call us when the new age
Gets old enough to drink

'Cause Lord only knows it's getting late
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitate


Beck - "Lord Only Knows"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = I

When you got down on your knee
I had to laugh at what you asked me
And I will tell it all in a story to the children
I'll have with some other man eventually

And if you find that you are around them
And not feeling selfish and not such a clown
Maybe I'll buy you a coffee
And we can go dance one last night on the town

We're About 9, "For One More"

[watty]

linked word = children

comin' down the mountain
one of many children
everybody has
their own opinion
everybody has
their own opinion
holding it back
hurts so bad
jumped out of my flesh
and i said
cash in


"Mountain Song", Jane's Addiction
[br]

[Insanity]

linked word: mountain

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll I’ve ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

River deep, Mountain high; Tina Turner

[Foomatic]

linked words = stronger, deeper, higher

My love is deeper than the holler
Stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes
That fall in late December
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill


Deeper Than The Holler, Randy Travis

[Artemis]

Linked word = river

I wanted to feel like a bird on the wings of time
But it was not our time
I wanted to lie for a while in the fields and dream
But it was not to be

'Cause sometimes you've got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you've got to let love slide
Out with the river, the river of life

Heather Nova, "River of Life"

[hermitfish]

linked word = sometimes

Sometimes I see the half and not the whole
Sometimes I see the face and not the soul
Sometimes I think this place has no part
For anyone who ever had a heart

This is your new thing now
And it looks so good in print
Just a poet and her pimps
But not quite
This is your new thing now
A prom dress and a sneer
The woman of the year
But not quite, not quite

Shawn Colvin - "New Thing Now"

[abtotallyrules]

Linked word - Woman

Leaving your smell on my coat
Leaving your taste on my shoulder
I still fail to understand what it is about this woman

If I could bottle up the chills that you give me
I would keep them in a jar next to my bed
And If I should ever draw a picture of a woman
It is you that would come flowing from my pen

Maroon 5, Woman

[DscoAkane]

linked word - picture

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

Prince - "When Doves Cry"

[dorksrcool]

Linked words=in bloom

He's the one,
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he don't know what it means.
Don't know what it means,
and I say... yeah.
We can have some more -- nature is a whore.
Bruises on the fruit -- tender age in bloom.

Nirvana- In Bloom

[hermitfish]

linked word = whore

I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never gonna cut his hair
It takes more time to make a fake
We night swam down in the lake
Then washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattled on 'bout bad inventions

I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a rat

Modest Mouse - "I Came as a Rat"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = town

I want to find me a bar with a blue light on
Dollar shot specials, a bartender named Dawn
Painting the town, selling the farm
You pierce your nose and I'll tattoo my arm

All the way to heaven is heaven
Caught between the spirit and the dust
All the way to heaven is heaven
Deep inside of us

All the Way to Heaven - Melissa Etheridge - my favourite song in the world, ever.

[watty]

linked word = heaven

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please


"Tears in Heaven," Eric Clapton
