Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

I'm up on the eleventh floor and I'm watching the cruisers below.
My heart's in the basement.
My weekend's at an all time low.
Queen Bitch by David Bowie
Goin' up the stairs and goin' down the stairs and goin' up the sideways stairs.

We're gonna go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better.
Go up the ladder to the roof--
We can be-e-e closer to heaven!

Protected by a silver spoon

Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good St. Nick.
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
Up On The Roof ~ James Taylor in my head
Things like this are never final
I'm still paying on the vinal flooring in the laundry room
It's multicolor and waterproof

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to

She would be ready but she'd always make them wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,

In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
In the Garage - Weezer
So I'm waiting by the doorway
But I will not linger long

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Just got home from Illinois
Locked the front door oh boy
Got to sit down have a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in
Pretty soon I'm singing
Doo doo doo looking out my back door

There were three gypsies a-come to my door,
And downstairs ran this-a lady, O!
The one sang high, and another sang low,
And the other sang, "Bonny, bonny, Biscay, O!"
-"Wraggle-Taggle Gypsies"
I sat on the floor, biding my time, drinking her wine...
I... crawled off to sleep in the bath

I can hear them there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today

Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed

This is my private place, Everything is neat and clean,
The skeletons are hidden in the closet,
This is my private place,
Come and get me out of here....
Private Life

Makin' love in the afternoon
With Cecilia up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place
-Paul Simon (& Garfunkel, too?)
My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark.
The living room is still;
I walk by, no remark.
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines.
I hear her call sweet dreams,
But I forgot how to dream.

Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays

I sat on the roof
And kicked off the moss
Your Song

There'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans on your door
One less voice a talking

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
Wonderful
Everclear
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big, yellow taxi
Carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone?
They've paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
-"Big Yellow Taxi" Joni Mitchell
"Hyacinth House" by The Doors
I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me

I was sitting down in my basement
I'd just rolled myself a taste
of something green and gold and glorious
to get me through the day
"I got stoned and I missed it"

The kids are playing up downstairs.
Sister's sighing in her sleep.
Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around.
Our house, in the middle of our street.
Our House by Madness
(the 'Our House' by Crosby, Stills Nash and Young made me think of it)
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the ol' banjo
Well my friends the time has come,
to raise the roof and have some fun,
throw away the work to be done,
let the music play on...
---Lionel Richie, "All night Long"
Tin roof
rusted
love shack, baby, love shack...
---The B-52's
On a weather-beaten transom in the house
walks a friend of mine we call the old King Mouse
He dances in the moonlight and sleeps out on the steps

Sittin in the kitchen a house in Macon. Loretta's singing on the radio
Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
Car wheels on a gravel road

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

But the one I really want to share is a joke one, how my friends and I used to sing it, "Don't go around tonight, it's bound to take your life, there's a bathroom on the right."
