(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
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!

Hell,
hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay
for your love with your
bones and your flesh...
---Pat Benetar
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
The Rolling Stones, "As Tears Go By"
Listen children to a story that was written long ago,
about a people on a mountain and the valley folk below.
"The Legend of Billy Jack" (a.k.a One Tin Soldier) - as performed by Coven
Dragons live forever, not so little boys...
~Puff the Magic Dragon
Peter, Paul & Mary
I am a child of God
and He has sent me here
Has given me an earthly home
With parents *kind and dear
-LDS children's hymn (*I guess the kids whose parents aren't just sit this one out during Sunday School.)
I know we've come a long way -
We're changing day to day...
but tell me, Where do the Children Play?
---- Cat Stevens
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child ...
(lots of versions)
Little children do be nice
Like little sugars and spice
(a 60's song about a boyfriend wanting the younger siblings to leave the older sister alone for a while?)
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
Bitch ~ Meredith Brooks
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb
And I notice you in children's games
And those who watch them from the shade.
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder.
You are summer.
Every Season
Nichole Nordeman
And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor
The Pretender
Jackson Browne
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Michael Jackson and friends
Every summer we can rent a cottage on the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck and Dave
When I'm 64
The Beatles
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
You can twist and shout.
Let it all hang out, but you won't fool the children of the revolution.
Children of the Revolution by The Violent Femmes
Summers going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older
--"Time Stand Still", Rush
Lady Madonna
Baby at your breast
Wonder how you manage to feed the rest
Beatles
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
-Sunday school song
The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
The cries at night, the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own
I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Whitney Houston
Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Silent Running
Mike & The Mechanics
(in Act I:)
No matter what you say
Children won't listen
No matter what you know
Children refuse to learn
(then in Act II...)
Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn
-from "Into the Woods"
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
-Sting
All you kids get out the back door
I've never seen her this bad before
-Patty Griffin "Mother of God"
"If Children Had Wings" by Gordon Lightfoot
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them their song
With a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by
Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Danger in the shape of somethin' wild
Stranger dressed in black, she's a hungry child
No one knows who she is or what her name is
I don't know where she came from or what her game is
Hot child in the city
(Hot child in the city)
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty
(Hot child in the city)
--- Nick Gilder
When I was a child, my family would travel down to Western Kentucky where Paradise lay
"Paradise," John Prine
I remember children
Feeding flocks of pigeons
"Sunday Will Never be the Same," Spanky and Our Gang (60's)
Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Joni Mitchell
