[Emms]

Linked word = 10 million

We are 10 million women
waiting for someone to ask us to dance
we are crossing our fingers
we are flowers wanting flowers
in a garden at the edge of the room
we are fragile and clumsy
we are brilliant and thundering
we are careful we are hopeful
waiting for someone to give us a hand
waiting for the lovers we've never had

The waiting room ~ Julie Loyd

[DscoAkane]

linked word - Garden

Kid,
Is this your first time here?
Some can’t stand the beauty,
So they cut off one ear,
But you’ll be o.k.

Welcome to the garden of earthly delights.
Welcome to a billion arabian nights.
This is your life and you do what you want to do,
This is your life and you spend it all.

XTC - "Garden of Earthly Delights"

[hermitfish]

linked word = beauty

You come from parents wanton
A childhood rough and rotten
I come from wealth and beauty
Untouched by work or duty

And oh, my love, my love
And oh, my love, my love
We both go down together

The Decemberists - "We Both Go Down Together"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = parents

I don't hate my parents,
I don't get drunk just to spite them.
I got my own reasons to drink now.
I think I'll call my dad up and invite him.
I can sleep in till noon anytime I want,
But there's not many days that I do.
Gotta get up and take on that world.
When you're an adult it's no cliche, it's the truth.

"I'm An Adult Now," The Pursuit of Happiness

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=drink

And the pills they will not,
will not, will not, will not let me go,
and I will not, will not,
will not let you drink yourself alone.
You call me up and let me know that,
that my sick guilt is so unwelcome.
You're so unwelcome, you're so unwelcome.
I hear noises in the darkness.
I hear sadness in your voice.
I hear noises in the darkness.
I hear sadness inside you.

Tegan and Sara- I Hear Noises

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = me

All the girls that you'll never see
Forever a mystery
All the girls with their secret ways
All the girls who have gone astray

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

Patty Griffin, "Be Careful"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = bend

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me,
All I want is you.
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy,
All I want is you.
Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me,
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me,
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me,
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me.

"I Think I'm paranoid," Garbage

[the hero factor]

Linked word = down

A candle burning for everything I've ever wanted
A tattoo burned for everything I've ever wanted and lost
I had a long list of names that I kept in my back pocket,
But I've cut it down to one and your name's at the top

Won't you share a common disaster?

"A Common Disaster" -Cowboy Junkies

[watty]

linked word = candle

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California


"Hotel California", Eagles
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = California

I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars

I'd love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working on

Billy Bragg & Wilco - "California Stars"

[meretricious]

linked word= tonight

don't wanna wait,
lord i've been waiting all my life
but i'm too late again i know
but i was scared
can't you see, i'm moving like a train
into some foreign land, i ain't
gotta a ticket for this ride, but i will

please, play a song for the loverstonight

richard ashcroft "song for the lovers"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - foreign

its been a year or more
since they shipped me to this foreign shore
fighting in a foreign war
so far away from my home

if only summer rain would fall
on the houses and the boulevards
and the sidewalk bagatelles, its like a dream

Decemberists - "Legionnaires Lament"

[watty]

linked word = rain

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down


Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me


"Don't You Forget About Me", Simple Minds
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = love

You said you didn't need her
You told her good-bye (good-bye)
You sacrificed a good love
To satisfy your pride
Now you wished
That you should have her (have her)
And you feel like such a fool
You let her walk away
Now it just don't feel the same
Gotta blame it on something
Gotta blame it on something

Milli Vanilli, "Blame It On The Rain"

[willowfan7]

linked word = said

So I wait and I wait
And I run myself in the same old circles
I sit and I stare
And I run old scenes through my tired head
Of the days that we laid by the school and said forever
Was that the best I'll ever be
Can't keep my hands from shaking
Stumbling through the wreckage again
But you're gone

Sister Hazel - Best I'll Ever Be

[hermitfish]

linked word = shaking

Sure look good, but it don't mean a thing to me
Sure look good, but it don't mean a thing to me
I got a hip shaking woman, shake like a willow tree

You better wait baby, you got back a little too late
You better wait baby, you got back a little too late
I got a cool shaking baby, shake like jello on a plate

Howlin' Wolf - "Shake for Me"

[FineyMcFine]

linked word = willow

But such beauty grew from bitterness.
Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart,
oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok.
If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday.

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you
to come back to me, but you're so far away.
I just sit right here in the morning sun,
and I wait under the willow tree.

The Waifs, "Willow Tree"

[watty]

linked word = heavy

The road is long
With many a-winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother


"He ain't heavy, he's mmy brother", The Hollies
[br]

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=brother

Lie down in a field if you can,
look at the night sky
oh, where does it end?
Sometimes it hurts when you
care about me,
but it’s going to hurt more when
they take you away from me
We have go to take cover, brother

The Organ- Brother

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = away

this was bizarre
they huffed and they puffed
they blew me away
like a ten cent cigar

you don't say no
with an empty belly
and a barbed wire bonnet on a wolf
hangin' at your door

Patty Larkin, "Wolf at the Door"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - barbed wire

As I returned across the field's I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

Sting - "Fortress Around Your Heart"

[Leafsdude]

Linked word: Fields

Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love,
Among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun,
In his jealous sky,
As we lie in fields of gold.


Sting - Fields Of Gold

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = sun

Who's afraid of the sun
Who would question the goodness of the mighty
We who banish the threat
When your little ones all go nighty nighty
Well there's no time for doubt right now
And less time to explain
So get back on your horses
Kiss my ring and join our next campaign

Dar Williams, "Empire"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = question

If you were in my movie
You could be the detective.
You could sit behind the desk
With a question on your lips.
Examine her for motive,
Investigate the scene.
In the ever-present danger
Keep the holster at your hip.

"(If You Were) In My Movie," Suzanne Vega

[DscoAkane]

linked word - ever-present

Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas

Butthole Surfers - "Pepper"

[watty]

linked words = traffic and knife

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...


"Ironic", Alanis Morissette
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = break

Where are you tonight
And how’d we get here
It’s too late to break it off
I need a release
The signal’s a cough
But that don’t get me off
I summon you to appear my love

Got the weight of the world
I summon you here my love

Spoon - "I Summon You"

[meretricious]

linked word = world

let's call her halcyon and hope that she holds
cause every shore she's gonna touch
is gonna turn to solid gold
she and i've been wishin'
for a change in our condition
it's not given, but it's obvious to me
there is a world inside the world
that you see

rhett miller "world inside the world"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = wishin'

You're on a mission,
and you're wishin' someone could cure your lonely condition.
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
no fine girls, just ugly faces.

From frustration, first inclination,
is to become a monk and leave the situation.
But ever dark tunnel has a light, I hope,
so don't hang yourself with a celibate rope.

Young MC, "Bust A Move"

[watty]

linked word = lonely

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone


"Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Green Day
