(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!

robbed a wishing pond
in a fleeting bond
vowed to share the wealth
"impersonality" (goo goo dolls)
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul.
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead as your goal.
(Jenkins/Bishop, "Blue Prelude")
Steal away, steal away,
Steal away to Jesus
Steal away
Steal away home...
(that last part might be about baseball... :-)
take me, break me
feel me, steal me
tap me, wrap me
and fly me to the moon
"e-g-o" (beatsteaks)
Who's gonna steal the peanut butter?
I'll get a can of sardines
Runnin' up and down the aisles of the minimart
Stickin' food in our jeans
Jimmy Buffet
I'll steal you, Johanna,
I'll steal you.
Did they think that walls could hide you?
Even now I'm at your window...
"Johanna", from Sweeney Todd
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
Bob Dylan
i'll stare you down
i'll steal your crown
without a sound
tell me, are you ready for a knock-out
in the final round?
"get going" (donots)
Been caught stealing
once
when I was 5
I enjoy stealing
it's just as simple as that...
---Jane's Addiction
She robbed them of silver
She robbed them of gold
She robbed them of costly apparel...
"Maid on the Shore," a ballad
My daddy was a bankrobber
He never hurt nobody
He just loved to be that way
He loved to steal the money
The Clash
There's not a crust, not a crumb can we find
Can we beg can we borrow or steal
from Oliver
Some'll rob you with a six-gun
Some with a fountain pen
"Pretty Boy Floyd," by Woody Guthrie
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store
Simon and Garfunkel
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot,
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
from "The Pirates of the Caribbean"
He floats through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young man on the flying trapeze
His movements are graceful, all the girls he doth please
But my love he has stolen away
He robs from the poor and gives to the rich
Stupid bitch
-Monty Python, "Dennis Moore"
Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest
- Roger Miller (about a thief)
I know every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
-Roger Miller, "King of the Road"
Oh better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly
Than to play a sanctimonious part
With a pirate head and a pirate heart
-Gilbert & Sullivan, the Pirate King song
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
folk song (English, I think)
Darlin', you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
-Michael Peterson
Ruler of my heart,
Robber of my soul.
Where can you be?
I wait patiently.
Ruler of My Heart - Neville Brothers
I'm wasting time thinking about a girl, and stealing her away from her world.
Blink 182
the way you stole my heart
you musta been a crook
The way you do the things you do - UB40
