Under The Westway

There were blue skies in my city today
Ev'rything was sinking
Said snow would come on Sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing

Bring us the day they switch off the machines
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up shortwave
Somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway

Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty still standing at last call
When the flags coming down
And the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologize
But I am going to sing

Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway

Pretty Words

And I might as well grin and bear it 
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument 
And in any case I'd rather wear it 
It's like a badhead in the morning
~Badhead

I've seen so much
I'm going blind
And I'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again 
~ Coffee & TV

I get up when I want except on wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too
it gives me a sense of enormous well being
And then i'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
~ Parklife

and you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time 
~ Out of Time

All your life you're dreaming
And then you
Stop dreaming
Time to time you know
You're going on another bender
Yes There must be more to life
Than stereotypes 
~ Stereotypes

Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is my heart you know
I'm screwing up my life
Oh Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind
~ Tender

And into the sea goes pretty england and me
Around the bay of biscay and back for tea 
~ This Is a Low

Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes it looks like we've made it to the end 
~ To The End

Badhead

So far I've not really stayed in touch
Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today
I get up around two from a lack of anything to do

And I might as well just grin and bear it

'Cause it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And you have not really stayed in touch
Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today
I get up around two with nothing to do
Except get a touch of flu

And I might as well just grin and bear it

'Cause it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case I'd rather wear it

It's like a badhead in the morning

And I might as well just grin and bear it

'Cause it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case I'd rather wear it

It's like a badhead in the morning

I know

To The End

All those dirty words

They make us look so dumb

Been drinking far too much

And neither of us mean what we say

Well you and I

Collapsed in love

And it looks like we might have made it

Yes it looks like we've made it to the end

What happened to us

Soon it will be gone forever

Infatuated only with ourselves

And neither of us can think straight anymore

Well you and I

Collapsed in love 

And it looks like we might have made it

Yes it looks like we've made it to the end

                

               

              

Happy 311 Day!

How Do You Feel ~ 311

I'm alright, I feel real fine
I don't live a life that's uptight
When there's a fight there's struggling
I can't roll through the world without offering
Questions, what's my direction
Break in the grip of depression
It comes in the day when you let things go
There comes a time to rock a show

You know the time that you feel
That nothing else really matters
Here on this spot in the world
That you belong

That's where I am when the lights going down
I'll find a way to make some fun
I know there is a leak of energy
Through someone

How do you feel?
Cause I couldn't ask for a single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know just what you were for

I'm on a quest with a vision
I've got love and tradition
I'll wear a mask that grins and laughs
So remember what I've done
I'm a vibe under the sun
I penetrate all dimensions
I've come again, rejuvenate within
I'm future animation

I feel the fuel rushing through my veins
In sunburn and flames
You can take on the world
It's all in your brain

How do you feel?
Cause I couldn't ask for a single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know just what you were for

Rise Above gonna start the war
What you want whatcha need whatcha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
Taking me down as the prisoners riot

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

When I feel kinda bad and I'm all distressed
Pass it off on a better day
Well you got whatcha want whatcha never knew
Perfect gift from me to you

Got shackles on my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

Raise up to your ability
You never knew that I could find
What could come when we realize
The sun won't stop with the compromise

Raise up to your ability
Can't stand while I disappear
Run around before I'm filled with fear
Like a glue cause my life is filled with red

Raise up to your ability
I know that you wanna
Throw me into the sea
For my ability

Raise up to your ability
Yeah you're undecided
Yeah I just want to leave it
Yeah I'm gonna wanna runaway

Focus on your ability
Now focus on your ability
Gain again what they want to steal
Gonna gain again what they want to steal

On Melacholy Hill

On Melancholy Hill ~ Gorillaz






Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
'round the world we'll go
Does anybody know, love
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me

Bulletproof.. I wish I was

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bulletproof

Wax me mold me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bulletproof

So pay the money and take a shot
Lead fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bulletproof

Touch

Touch... light as a feather
I will wait for you honestly
I am yours - entirely...
I remember last night's dream
Could it be the one of me?

I've known the face inside the window
And the voice forever in my heart...
Like an angel's arrow

I remember last night's dream
Could it be the one of me?
I've been waiting silently...
Would you risk it all...
With me?

Following The Leader

~from Disney's PeterPan

Following the leader, the leader, the leader
We're following the leader wherever he may go
We won't be home till morning, till morning
We won't be home till morning
Because he told us so

Tee dum, tee dee
A teedle ee do tee day
We're out for fun
And this is the game we play:

Come on, join in
And sing your troubles away
With a teedle ee dum
A teedle do tee day

We're following the leader, the leader, the leader
We're following the leader wherever he may go
We won't be home till morning, till morning
We won't be home till morning
Because he told us so

Tee dum, tee dee
A teedle ee do tee day
We march along and
These are the words we say:

Tee dum, tee dee,
A teedle deelde deeay
Oh, a teedle ee dum
A teedle ee do tee day
Oh, a teedle ee dum
A teedle ee do tee day

Learn To Fly

one of my favorite foo fighters song, the one that always made me sing out loud.
mr. grohl, I heart you :)

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die

And I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly

I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright...

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to

Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

*my favorite song at the moment. love both the original one by Ryan Adams and the cover version by Mark Ronson. I seriously considering to change my name to Amy. Hah! x)

I don't know why I let go, I want to be your friend
Flowers grow through my window and I love you again
Oh, I love you, oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
It's God shining through me I guess
It's God shining through me I guess

Oh, I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

I go to the places where we used to, I feel sad
I am out here looking for you, sometimes I pretend
Oh, I miss you oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
Is God playing tricks on me?
Is God playing tricks on me?

Oh, I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

Oh, I love you, oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
Is God playing tricks on me?
Is God playing tricks on me?

Oh, I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

Baby I Love Your Way

(originally posted on facebook June 13, 2009)

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city but don't hesitate
'Cause your love just won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power shine shine shine
I can see them under the pines
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day

But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
Wish I could dry one out of season
But don't hesitate 'cause your love just won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

My babies, how I love your little way
For Aira & Aidan whose silly little way always remind me to be thankful for all the little yet meaningful things in life.

A Spoonful of Sugar

(originally posted on facebook May 28, 2009)

In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job’s a game

And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It’s very clear to see that…

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along

For a Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

The honey bees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence
They find
Their task is not a grind.

From Disney's Mary Poppins

Stupido Ritmo - Float

(originally posted on facebook May 19, 2009)

You and I painting rainbows when the rain falls on our wall
Smelling raindrops on a hilltop as they fall
You and I laughing loudly with no reasons in our walk
Chasing sunsets, dancing minuet in the dark

Why don't we just disappear
If that could keep us here?

You and I sharing snow fall and the beach sand in our thoughts
Writing love words with our whispers in our hearts
You and I stealing kisses from each other when we fight
Making wishes on the same star every night

Why don't we just dream away
If that could make us stay?
Why can't we just dream away?
We're not real, anyway

Why don't we just stay this high?
Pretend we're all that fly
Why can't we just stay this high?
We might rule our own sky

You and I singing solo our very own silly song
Playing lovers of all edens all life long

You and I, I just love our life together
I heart you, hubby!

Beyond The Grey Sky - 311

(originally posted on facebook March, 3 2009)

It is a gift I know
A moment of bliss that we hold
A firecracker flash of light then on
To the next plane soul remain
Come along if you dare
It's gonna be that you're scared
Lovely life I thank you
For the reason to see the pain through

Light a candle for the dead
The wick is burning returning what we have
It's who we are
We'll reach you if you're beyond the furthest star

Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if
you have to
Find the reason of another's pain if they lose you
If not for your self then those around who care
like I do

One day you'll see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky

Light a candle...
The wick...
It's who we are...

One day you'll see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky


I saw beyond the gray sky at 7.10 am on May 6th 2001
when they handed me my own personal clear blue sky
Syarifa Humaira, I heart you always
