For
An easy hard one. The preposition "for." Not the number. Not the meaning. Just "for."

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!

For amber waves of grain

Still don't know what for;
Don't matter anymore.

From Me to You
Janis Ian
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out,
If it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye.
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, it's getting old
I am wiser now, I know
But still as big a fool
Concerning you
(Janis Ian, "In The Winter")
(all the other Janis Ian entries made me remember this one!)
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
What a field day for the heat.
A thousand people in the street,
Singing songs and carrying signs,
Mainly saying, "Hooray for our side."
--Stephen Stills, not sure what the title is.
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like the ripples in a stream
Now Jesus don't like killing
No matter what the reason for
And your flag decal won't get you
Into heaven anymore
