linked word = mouth

May God strike me dead
She shouted from her bed
I said look at your mouth
It's bleeding now so it all pours out
Too easily you choose
My version of the truth
When all I ask of you
Is send me a postcard when you get there

Buffalo Tom - "Postcard"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = choose

Where the haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the boss
Where you win or you lose
And it’s them who choose
And if you don’t win then you’ve lost

Housemartins, "Happy Hour"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = night

Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
And when the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head

Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter let me in

Duran Duran - "Lonely In Your Nightmare"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - nightmare

Junk metal in the air!
It's a total nightmare
At 20,000 feet!
Junk metal in the air!
It's a total nightmare
At 20,000 feet!

Are you ready for a rough ride?
This could be suicide
Turbulence ahead
I think my lunch
Is on the uprise!
Far out! This dread ain't funky
My hair's on end
There's no blood left in me!

Pop Will Eat Itself - "Nightmare at 20000 Feet"

[hermitfish]

linked word = metal

Need a metal man just to pick up your feet
It's a long time since you cared enough for me to even be discrete
I know what this metal is for
The white lady loves you more

Elliott Smith - "The White Lady Loves You More"

[EasierSaid]

linked word = enough

what's beginning? a brand-new winning, I can't stop kissing, I can't
undo your buckle while you bite at my neck
I've waited no end
I've made enough friends
we're down to nothing and I can't stop shaking
you're nothing but skin
I think we're done in

"I've Made Enough Friends" - The Wrens

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = nothing

We got into her car,
Away we started rolling.
I said "how much you pay for this?"
She said "nothing, man, it's stolen."
Punk rock girl, you look so wild,
Let's have a child.
We'll name her Minnie Pearl.

"Punk Rock Girl," Dead Milkmen

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = car

Lucille was 50 and I was 19
And you know it never bothered me
Not even when they called out in the bars.
I'd get tough and I'd bust some heads
Lucille would laugh when the cops got there
We'd sneak out the back and take off in my car.

Fred Eaglesmith, "Lucille"

[justin]

linked word = back

Two weeks away it feels like the world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it to tomorrow till unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To real life where I can't watch sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time


sand in my shoes - Dido

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = weeks

When I returned
You buried my last two weeks
My last two weeks
Of my new times
So it didn't seem like
A wasted mouthful
A wasted mouthful
Because of a trip
That was trapped inside you

Peter Murphy - "My Last Two Weeks"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = buried

It's true that I stole your lighter,
And it's also true that I lost the map.
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to,
I had to take your word on that.
But if you'd known how that would sound to me,
You would have taken it back,
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground.

"Divorce Song," Liz Phair

[meretricious]

linked word= lost

day after day, the same faces i see
in this bubble
and time after time
i go back the same way that i came
and sometimes i see a light at the end
before i reach out, i'm back here again
and i can't forget it, i can't forget that i'm lost

the open, "lost"

[justin]

linked words = time after time

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds

if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

time after time - Cyndi Lauper

[hermitfish]

linked word = lost

Maybe I'm just damaged goods
And, baby, you're a babe in the woods
And me, I'm just a little lost lamb
But you love me whatever I am
And maybe I've been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And now I walk this planet

Forever in search of, the alternative to love

Brendan Benson -"Alternative to Love"

[the hero factor]

Linked word = red

You almost always pick the best time,
To drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm,
Red flashing lights.
Well, this time I'm not going to watch myself die

"Buried Myself Alive" -The Used

[DscoAkane]

linked word = lines

When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years bad luck (I wanna tell him)

When you say you love me you're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practised lines your, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before

Lush - "Ladykillers"

[nerdbert]

linked word: mirror

Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's
More trouble than it's worth
In the sun

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'

[the hero factor]

Linked word = west

Forty-seven dead beats living in the back street
North east west south all in the same house
Sitting in a back room waiting for the big boom
I'm in a bedroom waiting for my baby

She's so mean but I don't care
I love her eyes and her wild wild hair
Dance to the beat that we love best
Heading for the nineties
Living in the wild wild west
The wild wild west

"Wild Wild West" -Escape Club

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = wild

I despise every word that he speaks,
Cause he tries to make her feel weak.
And he'll put her down in public,
And he treats her like a child,
But he'll never make a lap dog
Out of something so wild.

"Something So Wild," Bettie Serveert

[hermitfish]

linked word = public

They're for all to see
Self-contained lovers
Welded orally
No run for cover
I'd join in the fun
If I had someone
But it seems I'm undone

These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
I can't wait for my next rejection
I'm always the first in the queue

Morcheeba - "Public Displays of Affection"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - selfcontained

Now I'm free-lance with more risk to take
Now a rhymin merc, finding certified androids
Hit a convention, signin autographs for fan-boys
They admire
My enhanced stanzas
And how I dodge man-hunts
And security cameras
Avoided apprehension in sub-atomic dimensions
And even more impressive cause of what we livin
A self contained environment, I suggest I'm just a minor threat



Del The Funky Homosapien (Deltron 3030) - "Love Story"

[nerdbert]

linked word: security

If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security

Joss Stone - "Security"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = shoulder

Put jelly on your shoulder,
Let us do what you fear most.
That from which you recoil,
But which still makes your eyes moist.

Put jelly on your shoulder,
Lie down on the carpet.
Between thought and expression
Let us now kiss the culprit.

"Some Kinda Love," Velvet Underground

[watty]

linked word = carpet

Pull up to a premiere, red carpet good
You take my coat, get my chair, like I hoped you would
You're funny and your flirting is really working for me
But where it goes from here
Better wait and see

Baby I'm a hopeless romantic
You pick the view to kiss to
Make me go
And baby it'll all turn out tragic
And you'll push for more
Back at my front door
More than I'm ready for


Frogs and Princes, Natasha Bedingfield

[justin]

linked word = kiss

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm


The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!


Let it snow - Dean Martin

[Foomatic]

linked word: fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

I'm On Fire, Bruce Springsteen

[watty]

sorry if I'm playing too soon, I've been waiting to use this. It's one of my favorites.

linked word = train

Hey Mom
Why didn't you tell me
Why didn't you teach me a thing or two
You just let me go
Out into the World
You never thought to share what you knew

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same
I've sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good
I want to do it again


"Buses and Trains", Bachelor Girl
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = bus

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, "Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it, wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it. By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waitin' at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are goin' to be the same

The Hollies - "Bus Stop"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = summer

Twelfth of June, a gibbous moon,
Was this the longest day?
I’ll walk down to the bay,
And jump off of the dock and watch
The summer waste away.

Then I’m bailing this town,
Or tearing it down,
Or probably more like
Hanging around.

"Ghost World," Aimee Mann

[the hero factor]

Linked word = town

Dear darling,
Haven't seen you in a while.
Found some change in my pocket,
I thought I'd take a chance and dial.

I'm all right,
Just right now, a little down.
'Cause it gets chilly over here,
It's a cold part of town.

"Cold Part of Town" -Concrete Blonde
