linked word = breath

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

"Every Breath You Take" by POLICE (abridged)

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

linked word - move

I've often seen the faces of despair
And been in situations, people don't care
They take advantage of your every move
That ain't cool cause I'm no fool
They monopolize your time
Try to redesign your mind
The very time they use to find
You're in this love for sharing


"Karma" - Angie Stone

linked word = fool

I'm feeling kinda strange
'Cause of all the things you say
Yeah I know, too good to believe
This probably won't work
'Cause your kind of a jerk
And for sure you're way too cool for me

Yeah I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't give you up
I'm a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I'm a fool for love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm a fool for love
Can't get enough, can't get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I'm a fool for love

Stefy - "Fool for Love" (abridged)

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

WOW, 71 pages of lyrics. It looks like a good time to include a friendly reminder of the rules of this fun little game.

Rules:
- Please use bold tags on your linked word so they stand out.
- Don't link words like 'and' or 'the.'
- Don't quote the entire song, just several lines (enough to give the next person an adequate buffet of vocabulary goodness).
- Don't use the same word as a link two times in a row.
- Please wait for at least two other people to post before you post again.

Linked word: give

Those windows,
These eyes,
Don't worry, I won't pry
And if you go,
Should I stay?
And if I lie,
Which way?

If I love again
And end up just the same,
If I move away,
Will you give chase?
Will you give chase?

Tegan and Sara ~ Give Chase

linked word - again

We wake up with pounding heads
Bruised down below
I should have built better walls
Or slept in my clothes
So if I see you again
Desperate and stoned
Keep your prison locked up
And I will leave my gun at home

"I Don't Want Love" - The Antlers

linked word = desperate

If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health
Would you put me up on the bookshelf
With the books and the plants

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious

Adam Ant, Desperate, but not serious

you toyed with my heart like it was a toy heart ~ lisa simpson

linked word = health

Beat my brow
Beat my chest
Beat the ones who love me the best
Oh how could they be liars?
They assure me health, life, and fire

Thao with The Get Down Stay Down - "Beat (Health, Life, and Fire)"

linked word - could

Yes a heart will always go one step too far
Come the morning and the four corners I see
What the moral of the backstory could be
Come with me, go places


"Go Places" - The New Pornographers

Linked word = far

Day after day
They send my friends away
To mansions cold and grey
To the far side of town
Where the thin men stalk the streets
While the sane stay underground


"All The Madmen" - David Bowie

Linked word: cold

These days when I see you
You make it look like see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too

When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Cold Shoulder - Adele

linked word = waste

My head feels weak and suddenly
It's clear to see it's not them but me
Who's lost my self-identity
As I hide behind these books I read
While scribbling my poetry
Like art could save a wretch like me
With some ideal ideology
That no one could hope to achieve
And I'm never real, it's just a sketch of me
And everything I've made is trite and cheap
And a waste
Of paint, of tape, of time

Bright Eyes-"Waste of Paint"

Linked word = suddenly

Change
The river is blocked
The road is hot
The sky is blazing
Black smoke on the rise
The weather holds until it's on you
And then suddenly it breaks


"Breaking The Yearlings" - Shearwater

Linked word: black

she says forget what you have to do
pretend there is nothing
outside this room
and like an idea she came to me
but she came too late
or maybe too soon
I said please try not to love me
close your eyes, I'm turning on the light
you know I have no vacancy
and it's awfully cold outside tonight

the rain stains the brick a darker red
slowly I'm rolling out of her bed
the rain stains the streets a darker black
I dress my face in stone
because I can't go back

She Says ~ Ani DiFranco

Linked word = dress

She's cruising the streets
making damn sure she don't run into that old man
around him she hardly even speaks
she slips into an old retreat
I saw her strutting in a dress that was lucky last week
keeping an eye out for a shady
who's holding something sweet

Opelousas, Victoria Williams (or Maria Mckee)

Linked word = sweet

Sweet City Woman
Russell - The Stampeders

Well, I'm on my way, to the city life
To a pretty face that shines her light on the city nights

And I gotta catch a noon train
Gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

Swee-ee-eet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city woman
Oh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin', yeah, yeah,

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

Linked word = life

They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark, well so do I

I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay


"Letter To Hermione" - Robert Glasper Experiment

Linked word: cry

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

Glitter in the Air - Pink

Linked word: ring

Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver

So many times I've let you down,
so many times I've played around.
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you.
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

But I'm leaving on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go.

Ariel
How I Met Your Mother

Linked word - wedding

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.

White Wedding - Billy Idol

Linked word: superman

I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Kryptonite ~ Three Doors Down

Linked word = alive

If you're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart still beats...
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer


"Help I'm Alive" - Metric

Linked word = life

I want to travel where life travels,
Following its permanent lead.
Where the air tastes like snow music,
Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden,
I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture,
I would bathe in a world of sensation,
Love, goodness and simplicity.

(While violated and imprisoned by technology)

'Song of Myself' - Nightwish

Awakening

Linked word: grass

The grass was so green against my new clothes,
And I did cartwheels in your honour.
Dancing on tiptoes,
My own secret ceremonials,
Before the service began.
In the graveyard, doing handstands.

And I heard your voice as clear as day,
And you told me I should concentrate ,
It was all so strange,
And so surreal,
That a ghost should be so practical.

Florence and the Machine ~ Only if for a Night

Linked word = surreal

The best song wasn’t the single, but you weren’t either
Livin’ in Ladera Heights, the black Beverly Hills
Domesticated paradise, palm trees and pools
The water’s blue, swallow the pill

Keepin’ it surreal, whatever you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
Keepin’ it surreal, not sugar-free
My TV ain’t HD, that’s too real
Grapevine, mango, peaches and limes, the sweet life


"Sweet Life" - Frank Ocean

linked word = hills

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

Bob Seger Hollywood Nights

Linked word: nights

If I could sleep for forty days
And I would dream for forty nights
To walk myself amongst these ruins

Call you up at 3 a.m.
'Cause someone broke my heart again
This time it wasn't even you
Said this time it wasn't even you

Meghan Tonjes ~ Space Between

linked word = You

You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

Titanium - David Guetta (feat Sia)

Linked word = down

A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...

Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
For my sake.


Shinedown - For My Sake

I’m gonna shout till the devil gets on his knees
Shout till my angels say pretty pretty please
Shout till I feel it runnin’ through my veins
Shout till everybody thinks that I’m insane
I’m gonna shout now, oh
I’m gonna shout now, oh
I wanna wake up
