linked words = home, alone

Summer was gone and the heat died down
And Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply

The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply

Nick Drake - "Time of No Reply"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=reply

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
For what I read between the lines, your lies.
Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh or does it cry?
Reply?
Leavin' on a southern train only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

Stone Temple Pilots- Interstate Love Song

[DscoAkane]

linked word - Southern

I use to think the north was the end
Cause people go there and they don't come back again
but my father's father was a man of the sea
He lived a southern life two blocks away from me

Yeah I was a south bound child
Yeah I had a small town life
But I turned out alright in the north
Livin' that southern kind of life

Kasey Chambers - "Southern kind of Life"

[watty]

linked word = small town

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that’s me

But I’ve seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she’s small town just like me


Man, the title of this song is so difficult to guess

"Small town", John Cougar Mellencamp
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = Jesus

Well, Jesus was a homeless lad
With an unwed mother and an absent dad
And I really don't think he would have gotten that far
If Newt, Pat, and Jesse had followed that star

So let's all sing out praises to
That long-haired radical socialist Jew

Hugh Blumenfeld, "Long-haired Radical Socialist Jew"

[meretricious]

linked word = long-haired

when i go outside to mingle in the snow
my head looks like a globe
ain't no hair on it at all
do i buy a wig, should i grow my beard
and comb it upwards around my ears

well i can't wait for the kids to come
i can't wait for the kids to come
say hey, babe, you no go no barbershop
cause i want, yeah i know i want for certain
i want the child to be a long-haired child

devendra banhart, "long-haired child"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = globe

And when the night comes down
The houses close their doors and dream of her.
Their shuttered eyes are closed
Inside their curtains wrap around her form.
And in a globe of frogs, we're linking tongues and moving on.
And in a globe of frogs, you know what's right, you know it.

"Globe of frogs," Robyn Hitchcock

[Leafsdude]

Linked Word: Curtains

The sandy-hair son of Hollywood,
Lost his faith in all that’s good.
Closed the curtains,
Unplugged the clock,
Hung his clothes on the shower rod.
But he never got undressed,
And, no, he never make a mess.

It’s funny how life turns out,
The odds of faith in the face of doubt.
Camera one closes in,
The soundtrack starts,
The scene begins.

You’re playing you, now.
You’re playing you, now.
You’re playing you, now.
You’re playing you, now.
You’re playing you, now.
Take a bow.
Take a bow.

Josh Joplin Band - Camera One

[hermitfish]

linked word = Hollywood

Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry

That's sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
Come on, come on, no one can see you try

R.E.M. - "Imitation of Life"

[meretricious]

linked word = come on, come on

it's a need you never get used to
so fierce and so confused
it's that loss you never get over
the first time you lose
tonight i'm thinking of someone
seventeen years ago, we rode in his daddy's car
down the river road

come on, come on it's getting late now
come on, come on take my hand
come on, come on you just have to whisper
come on, come on, i will understand

mary chapin carpenter "come on, come on"

[Foomatic]

linked word: seventeen

The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes colors
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow, sad, graceful flow of age I went forth
with an age-old desire to please on the edge of seventeen

Oh love

Just like the white winged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin'
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin'
Ooo baby, ooo, said ooo


Edge of Seventeen, Stevie Nicks

[watty]

From one Stevie Nicks song to another.

linked word = sea

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly calm inside

So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm
I have always been a storm


"Storms", Fleetwood Mac
[br]

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=hour

In one more hour
I will be gone.
In one more hour
I'll leave this room.
The dress you wore,
the pretty shoes
are things I left
behind for you.
Oh, you've got the darkest eyes.
I needed it.
(I know it's so hard for you to let it go.
I know it's so hard for you to
say goodbye.
I know you need a little more time.)

Sleater-Kinney- One More Hour

[Foomatic]

linked word: dress

I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress

Fancy, Reba McEntire

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = New Orleans

Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son,
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car.
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.

Steve Goodman, "City of New Orleans"

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = bottle

Today I went and bought myself a bottle,
Like we used to do, reminded me of you.
Today I saw a train roll by the river,
Blowing off steam, reminded me of me.
That's when I threw the bottle in the river,
That's when I started running for the train.
There's nothing that you need
I can't deliver.
Carry me away.

"Carry Me Away," Concrete Blonde

[hermitfish]

linked word = train

Won't we know when the feeling's over
And aren't we sure that our time has passed
I'm moving on like a slow, dark freight train
Can't send for you and I won't come back
Can't send for you and I won't come back

CC Railroad - "Slow, Dark Freight Train"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - back

I feel like an old railroad man
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station's empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back

Eels - "Railroad Man"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = faster

Harder faster, forever after,
harder faster, forever after,
harder faster, forever after,
forever after.

None of you can make the grade,
none of you can make the grade,
none of you can make the grade,
none of you can make the grade.

Placebo - "Bionic"

[hermitfish]

linked word = harder

And we don't need them
To cast the fate we have
Love don't always shine through
‘Cause I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving
This life ain't fair

You don't get something for nothing
Turn now
Hmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet

Portishead - "It Could Be Sweet"

[watty]

linked word = nothing (does nothin' count?)

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

"Money for nothing", Dire Straits
[br]

[tarawhipped]

nothing (does nothin' count?)

Technically, it is supposed to be an exact match. You used "ain't" however, which is a match, so I'll let it slide this time...but I'm watching you, young lady.

-Cam

[DscoAkane]

linked word - Money

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world

ABBA - "Money,Money,Money"

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = I

Hey Marianne where you going with that guitar in your hand
I just want to be a singer in your band. Hey Marianne.

Hey Marianne don’t you hang your head you’re doing the best you can
I swear some day they’ll all understand. I do Marianne.

Hey Marianne you know you taught me how to just be who I am
And that we only leave our footprints in the sand
And then they’re washed away. Well that’s okay Marianne.

Rachel Bissex, "Hey Marianne"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word= Marianne

The weasel squeaks faster than a seven day week.
I said that Timmy and that purple monkey
are all down
at Bobby's house
making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters and my
traitors of kind.
And I'm just having thoughts of Marianne
She could outrun the fastest slug
she could....
Just having thoughts of Marianne
quickest girl in the frying pan.

Tori Amos- Marianne

[the hero factor]

Linked word - house

Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

"Our House" -Madness

[watty]

I'm watching you, young lady

young.heh.


linked word = loud

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore


"Luka", Suzanne Vega
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = that

I must've been Gandhi or Buddha or someone like that,
I must've saved lives by the hundreds everywhere I went.
I must've brought rest to the restless, fed the hungry too,
I must've done something great to get to have you.

Cheryl Wheeler, "Gandhi/Buddha"

[hermitfish]

linked word = restless

I was wasted
Couldn't find my center
I was dancing on a lunar plane

I was too fast
Family convention
Out of cruising viva chemistry

I was restless
Took it out on my skin
I read my skin like a diary

Moses McCartney - "Paxil Pusher"

[Foomatic]

linked word: fast

Driving fast now
Don’t think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are

Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe of beads of sweat
Slowly you say "I’m not there yet!"


Secret, Maroon 5
