Down

  1. Buying bread from a man in Brussels.
    He was six-foot-four and full of muscles.
    I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
    He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.
    And he said,

    "I come from a land down under..."

  2. For some reason, this was the very first song that popped into my head when I thought of the word "Down." Haven't heard it in YEARS:

    Downtown
    Where the cabs don't stop
    Downtown
    Where the food is slop
    Downtown
    Where the hop-heads flop
    in the snow
    Down on Skid Row

    Uptown you cater to a million jerks.
    Uptown you're messengers and
    mailroom clerks
    eating all your lunches at the
    hot dog carts.
    The bosses take your money
    And they break your hearts.

    Uptown you cater to a million whores.
    You disinfect terrazzo on their
    bathroom floors.
    Your morning's tribulation,
    afternoon's a curse
    And five o'clock is even worse

    [BUM 3]
    That's when you go

    [COMPANY]
    Downtown
    Downtown
    Downtown
    Down on skid row
    Down on skid row
    Down on skid row
    Down on skid row!

    Song: Skid Row (Downtown)
    Artist: Cast of "Little Shop of Horrors"

  3. (So many good songs with this word. Probably going to post every hour. LOL. This one is beautiful for starters:)

    You know what you must do;
    Venture down into the underworld
    to prove that love is true.


    Song: Eurydice (Don't Follow)
    Artist: The Cruxshadows

  4. (And a, well, not so beautiful one.)

    Let me drag you down.
    Let me kiss your neck.
    Please don't be afraid;
    I'll show you things you won't forget.


    Song: Bloodsucker 2000
    Artist: Paralysed Age

  5. Comes from the down - and
    We've changed a lot and then some - some
    You know that we have always been down - down
    And if I ever didn't thank you - you
    Then just let me do it now

  6. Please note that I combined 2 days words into one posting!

    Come on and
    Ease on down, ease on down the road
    Ease on down, ease on down the road
    Don't you carry nothing that would be a load
    Just, ease on down, ease on down the road

    Artist:??
    From the musical The Wiz, don't know who the original Broadway performer was

  7. You get a line, I'll get a pole
    We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
    (Down in the boondocks)
    Five-card poker on a Saturday night
    Church on Sunday morning

    Boondocks - little big town
    I dont really like this song but I do like that it makes me remember crawdad fishing at Grandma Mac's house!

  8. Get up and go out, me and all my friends
    Drink up, fall down, we'll do it all again
    Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
