from "Like a Stone" by Audioslave
On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
next word: page(s)

The Pages of My Mind - Ray Charles
'Cos I still here the songs that we sing,
Each step I take down memory lane,
Just takes me further back in time,
Those memories are all I see,
Like photographs of you and me,
As I turn the pages of my mind,
The pages of my mind.
Next: Further

(is it "further" or "farther"?)
Sevendust says "further". From "Reconnect":
Another day I feel further from myself
If you could only wear my shoes
Then you'll see...(I NEED A DAY TO RECREATE)
How we could feel so removed
From what could be (I NEED A DAY TO RECONNECT)
next word: shoes

Give in to the beast, boy, give in to the thrill
It’s just human nature to hunt and to kill

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and trophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn

Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous

It's Still Rock and Roll To Me - Billy Joel
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Second Hand Rose ~ Fanny Brice and, later, Barbra Streisand
Father has a business, strictly second hand.
Ev'rything from toothpicks, to a baby grand.
Stuff in our apartment, comes from Father's store,
Even things I'm wearing, someone wore before.
It's no wonder that I feel abused.
I never have a thing that ain't been used.
I'm wearing second hand hats, second hand clothes,
That's why they call me second hand Rose.
Even our piano in the parlor,
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar.
Second hand pearls, I'm wearing second hand curls,
I never got a single thing that's new.
Even Jake the plumber, he's the man I adore,
Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before.
Everyone knows that I'm just second hand Rose,
From second avenue.

Before He Cheats - Carry Underwood
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick,
showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Next: Dancing

For the Abba fan Step..
Dancing Queen ~ Abba
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
next word: young

Kind of (what our family thinks) is a funny story about Carrie Underwood. All of us kids listen to various forms of metal; I prefer alt-metal, Bobby is hardcore, and Mike fell somewhere in-between. There were hundreds and hundreds of CDs to go through after he died - all of them varying forms of metal - except for quite an extensive collection of Carrie Underwood CDs; I think he had everything she recorded. None of us knew he was an Underwood fan, much less listened to Country music, not even his best friends. Secret crush. It makes me smile.
from "Confessions (Without Faith)" by Sevendust
So why did you take him out of our dream
That kept me young and trusted?
Singled out and dazed
What else can you do for me to keep me standing?
Everyday's a new confession
Vulnerable, are we all?

She's an excellent choice for a secret crush. Or a not-so-secret crush.

Word On A Wing ~ David Bowie
...
Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as well
Don't have to question everything in heaven or hell
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?

from "Not Falling" by Mudvayne
Always known in, all my time,
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize,
That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and
Just be.
Sinners, casting stones at me
next word: middle
My kids tease me whenever I listen to this song for a number of reasons....one of them being that that there sentence ("That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and") along with a couple of others in the song, are the longest sentences ever sung in a song. They love to sing along just to see if they can get all the words sung in the same amount of time as the vocalist does.
They never do.

Grandma's Feather Bed - John Denver
After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks would spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and the war, Granny'd sing a ballad or two
And I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I’d know I’d wake up in the mornin' in the middle of the old feather bed
Next: Fire
