The Lament of Lisa - One year on. Happy Birthday Lisa.

When are you sad enough?

WHEN YOU PUT PEN TO PAPER
WHEN YOU PUT BRUSH TO CANVAS
WHEN YOU PUT WORDS TO A SONG
WHEN YOU PICK UP AN INSTRUMENT AND COMPOSE
WHEN YOU START TYPING AND CANNOT STOP
WHEN THE KNOTS GET TIGHTER AND TIGHTER
WHEN THE NEED TO EXPLODE IS OVERWHELMING!
WHEN YOU WALK AND WALK AND WALK AND WALK
WHEN YOU EAT AND EAT AND EAT AND EAT
WHEN YOU CYCLE AND CYCLE AND CYCLE AND CYCLE
WHEN YOU CLIMB AND CLIMB AND EVEN THE TOP IS TOO SOON
WHEN A SWIM IN THE RIVER OR THE OCEAN IS SELF EVIDENT AS THE POOL WILL NOT DO!

Teresa

A Rope - I pull, she pulls - signifies a relationship getting closer.

Initially she pulled. Then she let go. We play pool a few times and the distance seemed to get further. At this point I decided to give up. The party came and she gave a good tug and we went swimming. Since then she's slowly letting the rope slip. Only now, I'm hooked. As she slips away she takes a part of my heart and soul.

I'm pulling harder (maybe too hard - too frightening for her?). My feelings are out and she knows.

She says she has issues. She looks at me though contact lenses coated with her past boyfriends and her father.
It seems her father only sees the negatives in people. I thing there is a danger that Teresa maybe doing this too. Blinded by the perceived negatives you ignore the major positives.
Positives like: How do they make you feel? Are they touchy-feely? Do they give you love? Do they criticise you for being you? Are they trying to change you? Do they crowd you? Do they want the same things as you (e.g. kids)? Do they share the same tastes as you or most of them? We both don't smoke (I hope).

One negative (from her point of view) is age - who knows what will happen tomorrow? Live for today - enjoy whatever time we are given! Better 1 day of love than 2 years of "what if".
Another negative is she's listening to others - the other has a string of "failed relationships". How does having a string of failures qualify you to give relationship advice?
Another negative: My cold hands and feet.

But perhaps I'm deluding myself. If someone is looking for negatives would that not imply that the spark of love is absent?

For me: She's part of every thought. When I'm not busy she's in my plans. A queue of "what ifs" parade through my head.

For her: Is it the same? I suspect not.

America's First Black President

Incredible! I never thought I'd see the speed of change that has happened in my life time. The things that seemed impossible whilst living through them have come to pass having past through them.

I've seen the great threat of the Soviet Union dissipate in a flow of traffic over the borders whilst the red army looked on.

I've seen the symbol of pain, the Berlin Wall, be broken up by the sheer anger and frustration of separated families. I then went on to see total strangers hug and celebrate in the knowledge of 2 halves becoming ONE again.

I've seen Apartheid END after decades of sheer repression and Nelson Mandela become the President. I then went on to see his incredible handling of the emotions, that could have torn the country apart, and allowed a process of healing by talk.

Now I see America, with it's detailed and myriad formats of the history of racism and slavery, elect a black man for President. Where once the hate in a white man meant, no matter the logic if the man is black he must be stopped from progressing, talking, voting, etc and must be kept down. We had the situation where the same white man was forced to think:
"The economy is bad, it's been handled by a republican. I can vote for a new republican with the same ideals or the alternative is...a black man. Mind you he's a black man who is talking sense, he's handling the crisis well, he's talking what I'm thinking"

Children who have seen what has been happening to the planet have now grown up and been given the vote. They've been introduced to politics by the medium they use every day - the PC, youtube, facebook, etc. Where TV never had a chance of mobilising them, Barack's clever and 21st century analysis and utilisation of the new medium has energised the youth and silver surfers alike. He's managed to convince them they do count and they've gotten out of their chairs, waited in queues and made their shout for change a fact.

This win for Obama has generated a euphoria and a feel good wave has spread across the new world, across the oceans and into all the lands of the world. A changed America, one with common sense restored, people sense, could be the start of many possible and more harmonious conditions for the whole world: A more Green America, A black man in charge - how will that affect Al-Qaeda and their recruitment, An America with a greater appreciation for the term "limited resources".

The future is bright...the future is Obama.

Some flames never die.

There have been many changes. Mum has passed on. Her diagnosis was sudden and eventually was her death. Mercifully her passing, taking 3 months, allowed family and friends to bid her goodbye. She was so proud at the revelation she'd generated so much respect within a large group of people.

Her funeral brought together 100 people. There were 3 distinct sets of people. There was family, there was her religious community and there was her medical community. The intermingling allowed each to gather a little more of mum's sole into their memories.

Thankfully my family remains strong. I hate dealing with all the paperwork that goes with someone dying and frankly I'm dealing with it poorly and slowly. There seems to be very little time to do things.

I continue to play my sports...Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I have my good days and put away a handful of goals. I have my bad days when the ball refuses to obey my instructions.

Lisa did briefly enter my life and then I cut her off. However, as my heading implied, she's never out of my thoughts. She's trying for a modelling career and has posted some beautiful pictures. She's expressed a hope for a career in a hotter climate. Her sister joined her sometime last year. Her sister seems to be more mature and appears to be enjoying her second stay in the country.

Time for sleep. I've got an early start tomorrow.

Ironically all these trials and tribulations are what make life...life. I know that consciously but even though I appreciate life could be much much worse...I still wish for a little love and companionship..a little touchy feely comfort on a love level.

TERMINAL LUNG CANCER 1 MUM 0

My Mum died. She died in Hospital. She spent almost 3 months there. She was diagnosed with TERMINAL LUNG CANCER in October 2007. The last 10 days of her life the cancer progressed from her left lung and started attacking her right lung. Towards the end she was breathing deep and fast trying to get enough oxygen to feed her body's needs. She was on the maximum oxygen setting, supplied through her mask. The left lung collapsed 3 months prior and never regained function. So for 3 months she fought to live using only 1 lung and hospital oxygen. She surprised all the doctors with her tenacity.

Irony...she never smoked. She was however a passive smoker...but less so over the past few years.

2007-10-11T23:19:00.001Z

My mother has just been diagnosed with TERMINAL LUNG CANCER.

The deterioration was sudden - all in the space of a week.

She had been visiting the doctor for chest pains and getting general treatments that were having no effect - e.g. antibiotics.
The doctor took blood tests. Red cell count was fine. White cell count slight high - which you would expect if her body was fighting and infection.
Whenever she complained to me of no satisfaction I would tell her to see the doctor again and put on more clothing as it's getting colder.

Finally the doctor booked her for an x-ray at the nearby hospital. At this stage she had a mild cough but was still able to walk, talk and carry out general duties. That sentence just brought back a vision of her trudging off to the shops with her trolley and returning with it laden and her expressing how tired she was getting these days - to me I was helping her keep fit and active.

However she went away with my sister for a week. The woman who returned was a sick person. She was coughing and weak. She had her x-ray. They found a small shadow in her chest x-ray and booked her for a bronchioscopy the following week. I was suprised they let her leave the hospital - she looked so week. She went off with my sister. But she got worse within 2 days and my sister returned her and we called an ambulance.

It's been just over a week. They've run all the tests - including CRT scan, bronchioscopy, blood tests, sample tests, xrays. She's had litres of fluid - rangeing from blood soak to yellow - draining from her one lung on a daily basis.

Today the doctor told my sister that my mum had TERMINAL LUNG CANCER. It is spreading from one lung to the other, has infecting the liver and surrounding parts. She has weeks/months to live.

At least she has lasted long enough to see grand children. J1, the eldest, cried (before he knew the diagnosis) when he left her bed side on his first visit. He's seen his other Nan and Great Nan suffer with Throat Cancer and Alzhiemers and respectively - they are still alive. Mum has outlived all her 4 sisters but not her elder brother. She's brought her children to a safe place, seen them educated and into work and raising grand children. She's seen her grandchildren become good humans who express love and affection to each other and to her.

The news of her imminent death did not phase her. She is more worried about the nature of the rest of her life. She does not want to suffer.

On the chessboard of the Gods - a Queen is about to die.

It's been a while since I last wrote.

Today the 7year old nephew, J3, broke his hand. Here is what I know.

All 3 nephews are here, having spent the night. The 10 year old nephew (J2)had to attend football practice at 2pm. So All 3 kids and the 2 kids (K1, K2)from Next door and I cycled to the football field.

We we got there, the kids mother was waiting and decided to take the 12year (J1) old and the 7 year old off to her mums. So that left the 10year old and the 2 kids from next door and me. We had fun. I videoed J2 playing football and the K1, K2 playing. We rolled about on the hill, did kart wheels, handstands and numerous dances. Then the kids had a go at videoing too.

I got home had some food and was astounded to see the kid's mum arriving as I looked out the window. This was when she told me J3 is in hospital with broken hand. He apparently was racing down a hill and fell off the bike and bent his hand backwards. This resulted in a dislocated bone and numerous lacerations of the hand. Luckily his head appears to have avoided injury. He was in the park with his eldest brother J3. J3 says J1 was screaming at the time of the injury. He got no help from any adults in the park. He eventually managed to calm down J1 enough for them to negotiate their way home to their grandmothers. Grandma called their mother who then drove the kids to the hospital. J3 is to have a general anesthetic tomorrow and the doctors will then fix the bones of the hand back in the correct position and place a plaster cast on his hand.

Meanwhile my sister is on holiday in Jamaica. She is fortunate that Hurricane DEAN missed her island. She and her child are enjoying the sun while the local mosquitoes are enjoying them.

I last played football about 3 weeks ago but found the injury to the waist kept getting worse the more i played. So I have decided to wait until I feel no pain before planting my feet on the football pitch. However doing handstands, cart wheels, jumping over walls, lifting kids up, swinging them around, rolling down hills, is not going to help my cause.

More Celebs - Caught un-maked-up :)

See what you think...

Billy Piper: New Doctor who? - but much better with all the slap on.

Calista Flockhart - A little bit of sun makes such a difference

Cameron Diaz: Spot the Difference :)

Emma Bunton: Oh My - So now you know the future!

Naomi Campbell: In one she looks like she's spent a night with Hugh Grant ;)?

Sharon Osbourne: Pre-Panto Training perhaps?

Life is like a box of chocolates

Last Saturday, 2 weeks after my latest injury, I decided to venture onto the football pitch. For 20 minutes I played. Most of the injuries responded well. However one group of tendons refused to cooperate. The tendons in question exist on the left side at the juncture of the waist and left thigh (on the front and side). The result was that I could not chase a ball at full speed, turning anti clockwise was uncomfortable. After 20 minute I decide to sit it out. But for some stupid reason, after 20minutes, when Dan asked the simple question, "Are you playing?" I decided I would. I actually felt a little better. Within 5 minutes I got the ball, I made a run toward the opposite goal. My team mates were all covered. My only option was a shot at goal, I wound up my left leg and let loose. The ball flew weakly into the goalkeepers arms. I couldn't care less, I was crouching holding my left leg as the agony of torn ligaments hit home and the realisation that I would be out for possibly months - AGAIN!
I could not play on. I limped off the pitch. The group of ligaments, luckily, are such that they do not interfere with cycling.
I cycled to a nearby chemist where a kind security guard allowed me to leave my bike inside the store. I purchased a can of freeze spray, found a little lane and spray liberally over the injured area.

I cycled into town, intending to head for home. The main street was buzzing with people and I enjoyed staying on my bike and cycling through them. I only jumped off when E, an ex-Saturday_footy_player, tapped me on the shoulder and we got talking.

So there we are - E,me and my bike. Like a couple of boulders with a river of bodies flowing around us. Suddenly from out of the river I receive a tap. Over 1 year later - it is "the other" Lisa. She was looking GOOOOOOOOD. She had trendy sunglasses, her usual happy teeth exposed in an enormous grin. She's given up on teaching and returned to her earlier career - law. She's enjoying it as it's a different branch. We talked - now a boulder of 3 and the river flowing forever regardless of obstacles. I talked but with shock still in my system.

I emailed her and she's emailed back. I emailed again to see if she's still shacked up with her man of then. I've even hinted at getting out my courter's clothing :).

I've been posting pictures of the football lads on a website and giving them public access. Lisa, she of the above title, belongs to this website but protects her photos behind a layer of friendship - i.e. only her friends can see her photos. She's always done this for as long as I've been aware of her existence. Now, this month, she's gone public. Her latest activities are visible to the world. Coincidence, maybe. Her latest visitor from home also is a publicist - so perhaps she's infected Lisa. Or lastly, perhaps on a subconscious level, I am still a factor? I am not holding my breath - but nothing to lose (hah!).

The boss, who had the stroke 5 weeks ago, is still in hospital. He's more comfortable with his condition. He's unlikely to be coming back to work. Sometimes he says confusing phrases, he says he experiences uncontrolled movements from the afflicted side - I think, like a self repairing computer, this is his brain trying out different pathways, seeing the results and storing them for later usage. THE BRAIN AND BODY ARE SO AMAZING.

The nephews and their friends will be happy with my latest phase of injuries. It means weekends for them are more fun. Hell, the Satuday before the injury (10 June), I took them to a park and dispite my injuries climbed up a 10ft/300m wall and pulled them up - of course they promptly wanted to get back down :).

2007-06-09T10:15:00.001Z

Have to say that when I came across these pictures they really made me feel better! See - we could all look gorgeous with the right clothes, make-up, lighting....... etc

See what you think...

Alicia Silverstone: Not bad - but much better with all the slap on.

Hmmmm Brittney really needs make-up.

Charlize Theron: There is a God!

Lisa Kudrow: Oh My!

Melanie Griffith: Is this the same person?

Rachel Hunter: Quick someone get her a brush

Renee Zelwegger: Proves the case for good lighting and make-up.

Hope that's brightened up your day a bit - it has mine!

Another Injury

Damn, another injury, a new one. This time it's the front of the left leg (the upper leg). I got it chasing down a ball. We were only 15minutes into the game. I and 2 others raced to get to the ball. I got there first only to hear the sound of a tear in my upper left leg. I was unable to carry on playing. Probably a combination of pushing REAAAAAAALy hard and not having warmed up enough for the kind of power I called upon. This all happened on the Saturday game.

The shame is that in the past few weeks I've really been getting on top of my game. Just last Thursday I was the top scorer. We played "1st to 10". I scored 6. There were 8 players in each team. I wasn't just goal hanging either. I was up and down that pitch. I saved more than I scored. We were playing with small goals. We didn't have a keeper. The other team though, did have a bloke who just sat in their goals.

Work. The Friday before the last one I left work as did all my colleagues without a care in the world. On Tuesday, my boss failed to arrive. Later we discovered he was in hospital. On Wednesday we found out the extent of his fate. He has suffered a stroke. He has lost movement down one side and his speech is severely affected. From being the busiest man in the company he now sits in a hospital bed. His brain as razor sharp as ever but the frustration is immense in not being able to communicate, at his razor speed, to any individual. It is very hard to understand what he is saying as he has to speak from the corner of his mouth.

Saturday.
The nephews came down. An emergency. Their mother had suffered some kind of fit and was admitted to hospital too. The kids were not there to see the fit so never really showed any affects through the weekend. They had a great time. They spent most of the day with the next door kids. They spent less than 10minutes on the computer. Most of their games were the best kind - using their imaginations.

Films watched this since last entry: Spiderman 3, The Wild, To Hell and Back.

Activities attempted since last entry:

Salsa
I went to a Beginners Salsa. There were more women than men. I dance with lots of ladies - some really pretty ones too. But none of them generated the magic. I left pretty soon after the end of the training. The venue was crowded and again it was difficult to hear the tutor or see him. The basic steps I got, eventually. The turn I found more difficult. It was not helped by the "grippiness" of my shoes. An now the leg injury puts pay to a quick return to the dance floor.

Pool
Went with the work mates to a pub. We ended up playing the evening on a pool table. It was great fun. It's also nice not having to endure the bloody smokers. There was plenty of laughter and funny moments. There was also the usual depression and boredom of those who descend into "their drunk alter-egos".

My Nephew arrives, Go Kart Special

Saturday Night and a surprise package is awaiting at my front door. Its J3, the 7 year old. He's here to spend the night.

We play for a while - well beyond his normal bedtime. Then he convinces me to read him a book. He opts for Rumpelstiltskin. He loved it - the voices I put on, the exaggeration and of course the story.

The next morning he gets up early (while I snore away). But he wakes me up to fix the DVD player. He wants to watch Willy Wonky 2005. I put the DVD player together (its new) and leave him watching the movie - promising to get up at 10.20am.
10.20am did not take long to arrive - but i did feel refreshed (an hour's lack of sleep can make a huge difference to the rest of the day).

We had breakfast. We mooched. Eventually I fished out a games pack and, to my surprise, he wanted to play chess. So I set up the pieces and he shocked me by his initial moves (they were good). I was fearing losing at his initial moves. But luckily he went on to make some mistakes - but he showed incredible understanding with every move he made. It took me 1hr+ to finally grind he pieces down to just a wandering KING and a further 25 minutes to pin the king down in a checkmate. Then he said, again to my shock, "Lets play again". We didn't. We had lunch and then his mother turned up to take him home (3pm) - where did the time go?

Around 5pm, my brother rings. He and his pal are going GO-KART racing and invite me. "Yes", says I.
We opted for 40minutes at the track costing each of us 30units of cash - expensive. But we had fun. Only 3 of us on the race track. First few laps we were neck and neck. Then one of the others had a bump and the flags came out. Thence we were spread for about 15minutes. For those 15minutes I wondered if the other 2 had left the track. At the 20minute mark, I caught up to his mate and then spend 7minutes trying to overtake him. Suddenly my brother was at my back. Unlike me, he decided to bump into me, causing me to bump into his mate. My bro races off first, me second and his mate third. For the next 4minutes I'm on my brother's tale, close. Eventually he makes a mistake under the pressure and I overtake. Luckily throughout the whole race I had no major mistakes. His mate had a couple of accidents requiring the marshals on the track. My bro had car failure (a flat tyre). I had fastest average time and fastest average speed 68kph(42mph). My bro had average 64kph(40mph) and his mate had 62kph(39mph). However my bro had fastest lap, beating my fastest by 0.09seconds. We were 2 seconds short of the all time fastest lap on the track.

After 40 minutes the palms of my hands were aching, my inner thighs were aching, my soles were protesting too, my shoulders were tight and telling me they had been well used.

We laughed about the session verging on hysterics at the comic moves we'd all made, the accidents and the circumstances, the adrenaline and the need for speed. We compared times and stories.

On getting home and as the adrenaline seeped away, a tiredness started creeping through me.

It was a good day and a good night.

Good night.

What is a Friend?

You may not have ever seen me
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.

I will always be there for you
I am your friend.

Someone to share the good times
As well as the bad.
I make no judgments by what you say
I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.

I will be there for you now and forever
And always please remember
I am your friend!

True Friendship

True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart.
When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing.
True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found
It has profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character.
True friendship does not need elaborate gifts
Or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
True friendship only needs a few key ingredients:
Undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust,
Deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing.
These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor,
Can make a friendship last a lifetime!
This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful
Special ingredients You've brought to my life!
Pass this on to such a friend!

Always Remember Poem

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But don't forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

I'll Be Here

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.

I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.

You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

The Friend Who Just Stands By

When troubles come your soul to try,
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing she can do,
The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.

It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there's nothing she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

Pass this onto all such friends...

What Is A Friend?

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are.

Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.

A friend understands you
Without any words,
Stands by you
When nothing goes right.

And willingly talks
Over problems with you
Till they somehow
Just vanish from sight.

And whether you're neighbors
Or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit.

That shows you once more
Why friendship is life's dearest gift!

Too True, Too Often

Too often we don't realize
What we have until it is gone
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest to our hearts
And we allow foolish things
To tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
Unimportant things into our minds
And then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you
Take that time to say the words
Before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot.

Well the knee held up. I played footy on Saturday and I played on Sunday too. Damn if I didn't play out of my skin on both days. I scored both days and made more goals for other players. I chased lost causes and came out with the ball. I even outran stalwart racehorses. Man I even took one of the best players on the field (though I need an accidental handball for it to come off) - Soz Owain :).

So the only affliction bothering me now is this damned bronchial infection. I'm on my second course of antibiotics.

Got some major deadlines heading my way for the college course. Have taken off some days off to try and get the work...um...started :).

Can I take this moment to thank GOD for the fantastic weather we've been having these past weeks.

OK ya'll PEACE!

Last Link Severed

Lisa has cut the last "friendship" connection. She also cut off some of her new "dodgy" friends. So it appears that she places me in their category :) .

She also put up her latest pic. She looks very slender. She also looks sickly. Something about her eyes suggests she's not well.

My knee is healing. I don't think I'm ready for footy tomorrow. I hope to be ready for Wednesday. Tomorrow I'll probably end up cutting grass and hedge.

OK, Goodnight

As we vibrate through life occassionally we harmonise and good feelings are generated. This tune is currently in tune with my soul.

Another glorious day.

Today's game of football was not as enjoyable. The team I was playing with did not play as a team. They were looking for luck. I was still playing well but not getting many touches of the ball. The surface we chose to play on was very uneven - there were shallow potholes in places. I was running from end to end - this aspect I enjoyed as it makes me feel alive. However, I encountered one of the potholes and landed awkwardly. My right knee felt unwell. I could walk but could not generate push from it. I tried a spell in goal but let 2 goals in. I decided to retire. Hopefully it is justs a bruised tendon due to the awkward landing and having to re-adjust - time will tell.

Cycling is possible in low gears. Stairs are tricky going down. I've iced it, compressed it, elevated it and rested it.

Still maybe for the deadlines I face in the near future - it maybe a necessary break.

Impossible Love

The sun shone gloriously. I did lots of paperwork during the morning and rewarded myself with serious football in the afternoon.

I had a really good game. My touches came off, I scored a couple of goals, saved a lot, prevented players, was full of running. But best of all, the game was played in excellent spirits. There were no arguments - despite the beaming sun. Some long lost faces turned up [we call them SUMMER PLAYERS :) ]. There were smiles on all faces and we laughed gloriously at the gaffs.

For instance one of our players was having a mare of a day. He missed an open goal from inches away. When he was in goal, he powerkicked the ball. I was facing away from him. His kick hit my arm and rebounded past him and into the open goal mouth. He gave another goal away when he tried to do his tricks while defending - failed, gave the ball away and the opponents gratefully scored. But we all enjoyed the irony, the day, the moment, the sun, our good health.

I played for 2hr 30min. I'm still on antibiotics - due to complete on Sunday.

In the past 2 weeks another nephew has joined my family tree.

Is your own happiness worth the good health of the family. When I used to read of people giving their souls and happiness for the good of the family, or friends, it used to make romantic sense. Living it is another thing. But ask me if I would and despite the pain and anguish I could not change my mind. I love those kids and my unhappiness is still a small price, logically if not emotionally.

Some loves are hard, if not impossible, to forget.

This caught my eye - I had to share.

Viral attack slowly being defeated. Only the dead, coated soldiers being cleared, slowly by the winds of breath. The lungs infested by a web of sticky coated strands of repulsiveness. I wish I could stick a candy stick down my bronchi and with applied spin drag all sticky death out and straight into the bin. But TIME for ceremonial death , it seems, is part of the viral contract for surrender.

Outside the sun shines. If it were an Olympic sport then the sun outside my house would win. Over my head hangs umpteen assignments with imminent deadlines - and i am typing a blog. OK. I'm out. See ya.

Viral Attack

Almost a week now and the little flu blighters are still aggressive. They are attacking my head, nose, mouth, lungs, airtube, stomach and arse. Been unable to attend work.

Came across some ancient attempts by myself at wordery (cos it ain't poetry), when it's online I shall dump the paper version:

The tree...it fell in the wind

The wind...was oh so wild

Wild...is the way of man

Man...whom not God could control

Alone...feared by all

The animals...too stupid, they die

Death...So oft misrepresented

A Servant for those who come.

__________________________________________________

The Road is strewn with flowers

The tears of a nation that mourns

The Sun is the only thing smiling

Perhaps it knows where she's gone

The procession is immaculately attired

The silver burnished like chrome

The disabled are certainly able

to fulfil a role that is their own.

The air is a hotbed of emotion

A rain forest of people

The cause...the only sound to be heard.

_________ Obviously a Diana moment _________

The Sun, whose daughter is the wind

Whose father, long since dead

In a picque of uncontrollable rage

did commit suicide having witnessed

the last child die - killed by

her own children.

The children playing with the

life force of their grandparent!

The wind blows hot as again

history comes full circle

Another child stumbles forward

is touched by the wind

Stumbles no more, falls, and dies.

The wind whistles silently through

unrecognisable unnatural structures

It makes no sound

For nothing is left to hear it.

The sun, whose daughter is the wind

begins to mourn the death of it's mother

Elsewhere, life trys again

Another father watchs anxiously.

Dreams
Last night I actually dreamt.
I dreamt I was walking with Lisa. We were talking coherently and like pals as we ambled down a pavement.

In the dream: It was a chance meeting, there were no others.
Me: blah blah blah...until you got angry and stopped all comms.
Lisa: Yes, blah blah blah, you needed me TOO much.
Me: Yes, blah blah blah.

Weird how talking can be so coherent but writing/reading is impossible in dreamworld - I guess talk is "old brain" and writing/reading "new brain".

Football
So far I have played:
Passing with 2 others on Wed 28th
Full game on Sat 31st
Full game on Sun 1st
Full game yesterday, Wed 4th.

The R hamstring still feels tight.
One of the things that came to light about this past year of injuries is: Sometime last Fall I started taking showers after footy and stopped taking baths. Baths, I now believe allow the muscles to soak in warm water and this massages the muscles. I now believe that a shower is not as effective. So in hopes my theory is correct I am soaking in a bath after every footy session.

The bike is hanging together. I will buy a new one soon.

Mariah Carey _ Without You

lyrics: http://lirama.net/song/39642

Well I am back on the football pitch. I scored a goal and made a few more. Am in pain (aching muscles). About to go to sleep. I even managed to do some course work - but plenty more left to do and deadlines approaching.
Had a drink in a pub with some of the work colleagues. None stayed long enough for a night club. I ventured into one night club (around 11pm) but it was empty, apart from staff, so i wandered back out.
Cycle is in real need of a service and repair. I buckled the back wheel, the front wheel has a slow puncture and the pedal still keeps coming off. I am torn between buying a new bike (same model), buying a different (2nd hand) model, and repairing the current bike. It all depends on the cost.
Torn between applying for new jobs with greater pay and keeping current job with course in mind. I also like the colleagues. My dilemma may prove mute as the contracts may well dictate my future anyway.

2007-03-25T19:21:00.000Z

Another beautiful day. I woke up late and did a mixture of course work and play. I didn't get out until 7.30pm. Then I did a quick 15mile cycle at full pelt.

I came across an interesting gif:

I'm thinking of trying the routine out :)

The flame of ardour is low

The flame of shame is high

The road to desire is mined

All packages are returned

All communication is closed or concealed,

and then closed too

Confusion is the evil genius,

with it's claws tight around my every thought and deed.

The Last Day of Hols

I've been checking out some websites:

Here's one with good music and a sexy lady: Natalia Estrada:

Get it while it's unblocked :)

Superwoman...Faster than a speeding typist!.

Within less than a day. The following has happened:

Lisa has been online.
I am no longer a "friend" on her online account.
I still have no access to her online account.
She has added 2 additional friends to her online account. That makes total 2.

So what do u make of that? 99% probability that she's reading this. 1% coincidence :). I'm a betting man.

HI LISA :)

Long time no contact. Questions I have are many :) (Yoda style)

How are you?
What effect do I have on you?
Do you feel any emotion regarding me?
Do you remember me?
Do I scare you?
Do I annoy you?
Surely you agree, with your training: It is better to deal with a situation than to ignore it and hope it goes away.
Why did you panic, last year, when I showed concern, by knocking on your door, having failed to hear from you?
Is it me? Is it your history with man/men? Is it both?
Why did you email me with your address?
Why did you/your sister initiate BEBO contact and then stop?

LET ME KNOW THE FACTS and I'll act accordingly. Don't ignore the situation. Just let me know how you feel.

Here is added irony. You actually like the "real" me. The twist is worthy of an Aussie Soap.
I'm not talking about the polite, all thumbs, guy around you when I was still trying to gain your trust. You are not the innocent you portray either. We just never got a change to show each other our true selves.

2007-03-18T23:59:00.000Z

Angels Disguised as Mummies
It's a great line. Kudos and admiration to you Lisa for coming up with it.

OK. This weekend I had the newphew J3 - age 7. He came over Saturday evening. Lisa, coincidentally was babysitting too. She however has placed my user in her "BLOCKED USER" section - I keep getting kicked in the balls and I keep smiling (more like inane grin). The irony is that I am still listed as "friend" under her account - the only friend. It's little nuggets such as this that fuel my paranoia/faith/dream/passion/devotion/craving/crush/infatuation.
I sent her a couple of anonymous texts, a couple of jokes. She liked them and replied. The first reply was to ask who i was, the second reply was to call me "another mobile quack quack". I have texted her before, using the same mobile and told her who I am. She presumably just deleted it and decided not to store the number. I've since texted a few more jokes but now I seem to have found another medium by which she can ignore me.
I even tried good old fashioned writing a few months back :).

Methods of Contact: So I've tried: Writing, texting, emailing, blogging, messaging, phoning, calling, knocking, praying. If you have any methods I haven't tried let me know.

Sunday was like a camping adventure. J3 and I eventually got outside on our bikes only to have the elements turn on us. We set out with the sun shining. J3's mother had not thought to bring a coat and I couldn't get in contact with her. So we set out in fleeces. As soon as we got to the BMX ramps the heavens opened and liquid H2O descended. Luckily J3 knew exactly where to shelter. I began to roll video, intending to show how tough the footy boys were, as they refused to shelter, in the onslaught of the rain. However, as I turned to them, it was to see a mass exodus of the field and the entire footy squad heading to our shelter spot. The shower only lasted 10minutes (if that). However it was enough to turn the ramps slippery and unusable. The sun had disappeared behind clouds, dark clouds. Without the direct rays of the sun on our bodies, it turned cold quickly. J3 wanted 1 race around the cycle track - it was a decision he would regret. By the end of the lap his hands, and mine were chilled. His fleece was cold and so was he. I fished out my gloves for J3 and we headed home.
Hopefully its a taste of the fun to be had this summer. Summers with the kids are less fun when one is fully employed.

The rest of the nephews J1 and J2 popped in later with their mother. My brother and his girlfriend also popped in with their lil child C1 too. He's about 2years old and my glasses were reminded of the power and fascination 2's have with them. So Sunday afternoon and evening were fun too. Socialising :). Lots of pictures and video taken - only thing, as usual, I'm behind the camera :).

2007-03-09T19:03:00.000Z

Here's Looking...for...you kid.

I am at the end of my first week off from work. I went to work on Monday. I had Tuesday morning off but then attended college in the afternoon - only to find the first lecturer had called in sick. So using the democratic process most (I hope) of the class decided to head home.

I spent Wednesday reading up in preparation for a 2500 word assignment due in on Friday. It was labourious as most of the reading is pure theory and is other peoples ideas. I would read and then play on the computer (urban terror - can't seem to get tired of it).

I then did 1300 words on Thursday and completed the work by Friday 4.30pm. I then cycled into town and dropped the work off at the Uni. I cycled through the pedestrian zone in the centre of town narrowly avoiding people - avoiding only because it's the law :). I am obviously hoping to see Lisa and keep expecting Divine Intervention.

On arriving back home I found myself continually sneezing. It was only when my nephew showed up with Hay fever symptoms that I realized that I too am afflicted. It might also explain the lethargy and headaches that have been my bane for the past month. In fact I kept putting off the coursework because I felt so lousy.

We went Go-Karting last week. It was great fun. One of the guys ended up with 3 broken ribs. I didn't win - I kept taking the sharp bends too fast and kept coming to a complete stop. The Go-karts had poor acceleration. Next time, hopefully there will be a next time, I shall endeavour to maintain my inertia and rely on the kart's speed. Karting is fun but expensive too.

Injuries continue to hound me. I am in my second week of a hamstring pull (right leg). This was caused by my failing to warm up. My left side torso muscle is still refusing to heal. None of these aches stop me cycling but the hamstring stops me playing football. I suspect a possible contributory factor may be the saddle on my bike - it tends to dig in to the hamstring in question.

2007-01-28T20:53:00.000Z

Played football yesterday. Left ankle twisted, but after 3minutes rest, I was able to carry on. I got a few knocks and my L waist muscle is not fully healed ( My L waist muscle caused me to stop playing early last Sunday - 21Jan07. It just happened - no sudden turn, no knock). I played the full game yesterday 27Jan07.

My L waist muscle caused me to pull out early again today (at 4pm, we started at 2.30pm). Hopefully a week of footy rest will help.

My L elbow still twinges. I warm up achilles and thighs before playing now. I warm down too.

Not heard anything from Lisa. I still look for her when I'm in town. Can't get the chick outta my mind.

Sister is back in work. She's increasing her hours slowly - from part time, to half days, to 3/4 days, etc.). The lil guy keeps growing - so fast.

All would seem to be well....seem :)

3 in the same Day.

Water lay everywhere along my path to work. I was only 1minute out of my house when I had my first accident. I was cycling along having narrowly missed a couple of people. I was speeding along, on my peddlebike, on a straight part of the path when suddenly my front wheel starts slipping. To my left are some large boulder which the the owners of the building have decide are suitable decorations. I try and control my skid so as to vear away from the boulders. Suddenly I am falling, I am now skidding along on my back and am still heading from the boulders. I am still holding onto the bike and the wheels are in the air. For some reason my only concert is to ensure the wheels do not impact the boulders. All is still. I have stopped skidding. I am on the floor and the bike is still between by legs with the wheels in the air. I have not hit the boulder. I get up, I seem ok. I check my bike - only the back mudguard seems to be affected. I adjust it. My right knee is sending signals of concern. I lift up my leg covers and find I am bleeding from my right knee - the skin is peeled away but it's not bad enough nor bleeding enough to stop me getting to work.

I get back on my bike and continue my journey to work. Half way I encounter a bike heading the other way. The cyclist is looking down so I vear right to avoid him. He then looks up and veers in my direction. I apply brakes and he shouts out "NO BREAKS". We touch handlebar but stay on our respective bikes. We say our apologies and I cycle away.

Finally the worst accident happened on my way home. I'd had some adreniline close shaves soon after leaving work but this just spurred me on to greater risks. I am speeding along on the pavement approaching a busy crossroad. The road crossing my path is full of cars left and right. A bus is approaching but I judge that if i speed up I can make it across the junction before it gets there. What I totally forgot/didn't account for is that it's 2 lanes of traffic going left and 2 lanes of traffic going right. As I get ahead of the bus I encounter a car crossing my path. My front wheel gets crushed, I end up on the left side of the bonnet. I watch as I somehow dismount my bike and watch the back wheel swing away from me heading, in a circle for the right-front side of the car (with the bike front wheel acting as a pivot). In my head I am saying "don't let the back wheel hit the car". Luckily I am OK. The bike front wheel is a gonner. The car appears OK. Some clip on panel has fallen off and is retrieved by the driver. He asks if I'm OK, He checks his car, He gives me words of advice. I am obviously wearing my usual grin.
He says, "I could have killed you, don't laugh".
I say, "I am grinning because I am still alive". He gets back in his car and drives off. I head for home pushing my bike (balanced on the back wheel) home.

Happy New Year Welcome 2007

Emotionally 2006 has been a nightmare of a year. Physically too, when I think about it - I had almost forgotten the groin strain injuries, but I am physically fitter than this time last year and only yesterday scored 5 goals. But at least when it comes to close family and friends, touch wood, its been stable.

I rang Lisa just before Xmas She didn 't remember me. She sounded like she was well into a bottle of wine. I asked if she 'd recieved the flowers I sent she had and thanked me. She 's going home, Portugal, for Xmas. I wished her the best and feeling her discomfort said bye and hung up. I was a little in shock at having been forgotten.

My cousin, in canada, sent me a HI5 invitation. I decided to resurrect my old account and informed HI5. They reactivated it and I invited my cousin to be a friend. I then discovered a friendship invitation, from Lisa, dated a OCT 2006 . I acceded to her friendship request.

I missed her over the Xmas period. I cycled past her house and saw windows open. So I knocked on the door. The landlord answered and told me "They " had gone back home. I am assuming the other person is Lisa 's sister but don 't know for sure.

I am trying to live by the old adage "Carpe diem " and life is too short for nuroses. Everything to gain and the repurcussions can 't be as bad as the endless circles the thoughts keeps going around in.

I dropped her a card today, with my feelings let loose from my heart and put down in perpetuity on a single A 4. The A 4 contained within a Pink Card with various colour feltip pens used to further my cause. However, when I posted it through her letter box it landed on the floor. The problem lies in the fact that this is her outer door, leading to the back garden and has no roof. This means as soon as my card landed on her floor it started getting wet, as it is raining here and she has no roof between her inner door and outer door. Sometimes I think that life is a hollywood script.
The thing with feelings is they are like animals in a cage. They go stir crazy when kept in captivity. So they gotta be let out. So sometimes you punch a bag, drive crazy, cycle crazy or run hard(but that is like bad surgery - like crying in the kids movie; Monsters inc). What I did today, i feel, is like keyhole surgery - applied straight to the point best suited for best results (like laughter in Monster Inc). Weird is the beast that is me :).

Wow first blog post of 2007.

Hey I am attending college, part time. Prior to the Xmas break, we all went out for a meal and a nightclub. One of the girls described my dancing as being with Patrick Swayze (brings a smile to my face each time). They even tried guessing my age (29 she said and that was before my dancing).

Saturday
The kids finally watched Forrest Gump. They loved the the first 1.5 hours but the latter part they started playing. They casually listened to the music in order to look up for "special moments" and only wanted to know how it ends.

Later in the afternoon they left with their mom for a game of bowls. Since their mom is working now, she now uses the weekend to spend more quality time with them. They spent a good deal of time with their dad last week.

Sunday
12.30pm I revived the dead bike (but it was not a pleasurable ride) and popped into work. I did some necessary preparation and left at 2.30pm. I cycled home and prepared to play football. I got to the pitch at 4pm and played until 5pm. The injured groin held up well. There was no acute pain just the pain of long unused muscles. The opposite team were good and score plenty of goals. Our side kept calling for "last goal the winner" and the other side score a couple (but for some reason they didn't count).

So I get the ball, no players are coming towards me. I look up to see the goal is empty and player nearest to the goal would have to run fast to stop an attempted shot. So I attempt a shot and GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL. So technically we win - thanks to the age old tradition of "last goal the winner" :)

2006-11-03T23:38:00.000Z

Its now coming up to Midnight. The kids are finally asleep.

The day has been hectic. Teaching is hectic enough, but it's being made more difficult by the lack time for admin. I didn't leave until 6.45pm and still hadn't finished. But I was damned if I was going to let work superseed my time with my nephews. So I didn't finished all the damned admin shit. My brother picked me up, the kids were in the car with him. The kids were loud and excited. I joined in and slowly my first "work headache" (real not a technical term) started to ease.

The kids calmed down as soon as we got in. The 2 youngest (6.999, 9) calmed down on a settee each to "The Simpsons". The eldest (11) chilled talking to his girlfriend on his mobile. Around 8pm I gave them a choice of DVDs and they chose "CARS". They enjoyed it and recalled all the funny moments (as they've seen it before umpteen times). By the time it ended it was around 10pm and well past their usual bedtime. As they got dressed for bed I quietly slipped on "FOREST GUMP" and THE KIDS WERE HOOKED. HANKS' voice and way of speech enthralled them and the story (I only let them watch 16minutes - to just beyond the scene when FOREST, as a kid, begins to run) had them taking in every scene...until I stopped :).

Imagine Monday. They go back to school and start doing FOREST impressions and soon all the kids start renting FOREST..wow. The film is older than all the kids (1994), but the story is for every generation, forever.

Lisa, My Love,

I MISS YoU

My 3 newphews were dropped down late last night. They watched a movie before bed (StormBreaker) It's a good movie - a kind of British Cody Banks. They fought tiredness to get to the end credits.

This morning we walked to the river (my bike has died - yeah the new one,chb d-seven, ebay reviews were good alas the bike was cheap, new and of crap quality, B1 took his bike to his Mom's house, the other 2 have a bike each here). The walk was pleasant. The river was high but a bank was present and accessible. So we journeyed down and found plenty of "skimming stones". B1 and B2 are practically experts now at throwing stones.

The youngest, at 6, B3, is struggling to generate power to skim. It is weird the lil boy can climb most structures with ease but throwing is a skill yet to develop. It will come I have no doubt.

B1 has homework so after about 1 hour we journeyed home. I fed them and then let them do as they were wont.

I typed some stuff and then popped downstairs. The kids were watching a movie. I lay down on the floor.

B3 got up and came to lie on my back. This is the way love should be. I loved it and he loved it.

Why is it easier for me to get the trust of a child than it is to capture the heart of an adult?

But soon their mum arrived and off they went.

rule the world with plastic smiles

i won't let the sun go down on me
i won't let the sun go down

mother nature isn't in it
three hundred million years
goodbye in just a minute
gone forever, no more tears

pinball man, power glutton
vacuum inside his head
forefinger on the button
is he blue or is he red?

break your silence if you would
before the sun goes down for good

i won't let the sun go down on me
i won't let the sun go down

Earth, wind & fire - September
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember - how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah.

Hey hey hey,
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember - how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember - the true love we share today

Hey hey hey
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day.......there was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

Now our bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing.
Do you remember every cloudy day - yau!

There was a

Frank Sinatra - Swinging on a star
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

Earth, Wind and Fire - After the love has gone
For awhile, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
In our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night, something right
Would invite us to begin the day

Something happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Something happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had

And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?

For awhile, to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong, oh, baby, wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared
This affair would lead our love into

Something happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Something happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?

I got you Babe

These days it seems to be about the songs...all about the songs. A paranoid man might think that the interrogation is going well. After all if there are secrets to be found where, but the subconscious, would they reside.

My mp3 player hasn't had a battery in it for over a month - so a true test of the flash memory me thinks :). I've let my mind roam about picking random songs off the ether. I've let my eyes take in the beauty of the people around me. I've just gone along for the ride.

Today's hits include:
Quantum Jump - The Lone Ranger
Barry Manilow - Copacabana

The Kinks - Come Dancing An Interesting Link

Quantum Jump - The Lone Ranger

Deep within Apache forest

But who was that masked man you say
That was the Lone Ranger
Fill up pipe of peace for Tonto
Kimosabi friend and brother

Tonto fall about with laughter
He a head our great white brother

Hi ho Silver away

Never ever have a woman
Tonto know that Kimosabi
Tonto sometime stop and wonder

Maybe masked man he a poofter
Try it on with surly Tonto

Ride into tomorrow today
But who was that masked man you say
That was the Lone Ranger

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Brand New Friend

The High Chaparral

Messin about on the River

Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Brand New Friend
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtleneck
I was much happier then

If I were to ask you
What would you do with yourself?
If I were to tell you
Would you just talk to yourself?

Am I asking oh for so much?
I'm not asking to be understood
Am I asking oh for so much?
I'm just looking for a brand new friend
A brand new friend

Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtleneck
I was much happier then

Am I asking oh for so much?
You could do anything you wanted to
Am I asking oh for so much?
No, just something that I can hold down
'Cos it's all downhill now

So let me count the times that we swore and lied that we'd
Tie ourself to the railway line
Let me count the times when of course we lied
Well we knew no better, it was no crime
Let me count the times

I, well I don't know when I, when I'll be content
But I do know I need a brand new friend

Messing About On The River
When the weather is fine you know it's the time
For messin' about on the river
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice
As messin' about on the river
There's big boats and wee boats and all kinds of craft
Puffers and keel boats and some with no raft
With the wind in your face there's no finer place
Than messin' about on the river

Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I listen to your favorite song
playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

[CHORUS]

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
Thunderbolt and light'ning, very, very fright'ning me.
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go.
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.

Any way the wind blows

Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach
I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time

REPEAT AND FADE

Laura Branigan - Gloria
Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody,
you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown,
so be careful not to show it

You really don't remember,
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you,
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line,
oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria),
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember,
was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria,
how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line,
or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money,
take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away,
don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember,
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you,
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line,
oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria),
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember,
was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

More Songs that race through my mind - self generated songs winding around in the subconscious and every now and then one dives out to enter the realm of consciousness to escape and get transmitted as a song or as a whistle - to my sheer enjoyment and (well the rest of the staff don't actually comment - how weird!)

This day (blogged on 09/10/2006, but a record of 25/9/2006) I only managed to note down 1 song - how weird!

I'm Not In Love - 10cc

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lyin' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made, ooh

I'm not in love, I'm not in love...

Camp Granada

Camp Granada Lyrics
Hello muddah, hello faddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy.
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

Now I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh muddah, fadduh
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me out in the forest

Where I might get eaten by a bear.

Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mes the house with other boys.
Oh, please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day.

Dearest fadduh, darling muddah,
How's my precious little bruddah?
Let me come home, if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's bettah
Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter!

Follow On version

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh.
I am back at Camp Granada.
And I'm writing you this letter
Just to say my compound fracture's getting better.

No one here knows where my trunk is
And my bunk is where the skunk is.
And this year the food's improving
'Cause the little black things in it are not moving.

Our camp nurse is quite a swimmer.
She says swimming makes you slimmer.
Her name's Mrs. Balagreeni.
Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini?

All our bathrooms have such thin doors.
Gee, I wish they'd move them indoors.
We're all tired of Mother Goose here.
So next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here.

Let me stay, oh Muddah, Fadduh.
Let me stay, I love Granada.
Every night the camp fire's really keen.
Oh mom, please send some Ovaltine.

Let me stay, out here in mother nature's land
And tip-toe through the tulips grand.
To leave would be a shame.
Besides, I'd miss the poker game.

Please don't worry, Fadduh, Muddah.
I'll take care of little brudda.
He plays ball here and he rows here
And I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here.

He wakes up at half past six and
Goes directly to the quick sand.
He was lonely, now he's better.
He's like all of us except his bed is wetter.

Thursday Rules Baby but Friday CONQUERS :)

Move Along…Nothing to see here!

Hi Viewer (and with some optimism...ViewerS).

Below are the tunes that once again my head resolved to sing through out the day.

Busy busy days have I been through.

My brother decided to take back his bike this week (funny how brothers do that...the bike had been sitting unattended for months in the shed with a puncture and needing attention. Once I had made it road worthy and a joy to ride...he suddenly wants it. Ofcourse the fact that some drunk had crashed into and wrecked his Audi convertable car may have had something to do with his need for transport - until the insurance decides to pay up.)

Donny Osmond - Puppy Love
And they called it puppy love
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love
Just because we're in our teens
Tell them all it isn't fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back in my arms once again

Someone, help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love

Jamelia - Superstar
People always talk about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
All the things they're all about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Write it on a piece of paper,
Got a feeling I'll see you later.

There's something 'bout this,
Let's keep it moving,
And if it's good let's just get something cooking.
'cause I really wanna rock with you,
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do.
(you do, you do).

refrain:
I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know who you are,
But you must be some kind of superstar,
'cause you got all eyes on you no matter where you are, (you just make me wanna play)

Baby take a look around (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Everybody's getting down (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Deal with all the problems later,
Bad boys on their best behaviour.

There's something 'bout you,
Let's keep it moving,
And if it's good let's just get something cooking,
'cause I really wanna rock with you,
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do,
(you do, you do).

refrain

I like the way your movin' (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
I just get into the groove and then (you just make me wanna play)
If you just put pen to paper (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Got that feeling I'll see you later.

Make your move, can't we get a little closer?
You rock it just like you're supposed to,
Hey boy I ain't got nothing more to say,
'cause you just make me wanna play

I don't know what it is,
That makes me feel like this,
I don't know,
Gotta be, gotta be a superstar,
All eyes on you.

refrain (2x)

Elton John/Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

"It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Is getting wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

The Everly brothers - Wake up little Susie
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock, and we’re in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

I told your mama that you’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la”
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Sunday 17th September 2006
My 3 nephews: J1, J2 and J3 spent the night here yesterday. J1 and J3 woke up early and were soon joined by J2.
Around midday we all played a lil tennis in the back garden. After a lot of discussion the boys agreed to a compromise and we would cycle to the BMX track.

When we got there it was very crowded by kids with “Attitude”. The language was colourful. Their opinions on various topics were loud and proud. I suggested to the kids we leave and none objected – they’d all had about 15minutes on the track by this time.

I mentioned to the kids we would venture into the hills. I was hoping to show them a reservoir located on a nearby mountain. J1 wanted to go home to his mum’s house. Since it was in the same direction as the mountain I decided we’d pass pop in. His mum kept him in because of his attitude.

J2, J3 and I continued on our journey. We followed the same lanes as yesterday. At the end of the lanes we took a new direction and began the journey up. The gradient was gradual and initially both boys found the going easy. When the gradient started increasing I took them on a side road to investigate some greenery down a blocked off road – it was a good decision. We found an acorn tree and a blackberry bush. The kids were amazed by actually seeing a real live acorn – on a tree. They are so used to seeing them in books yet here was one on a tree – that they could touch and pick off…ACORNS!!! J3 wanted me to reach various black and red berries.
I cycled off in hopes of pulling them away. I hid around a side road. I heard J3 saying, “Where is he?”
J2, now aged 9, wiser and older, and knowing my tendencies now said, “He’s hiding”.
I could hear them but could not see them and thus they could not see me.
3 minutes later J2 cycled past and said “Hi!” with a grin.

We cycled back to the main road and started heading up. We soon came to a bridge which spanned across a motorway. I got the kids to wave to oncoming cars below. It’s amazing the “Good feeling” you get when total strangers wave back! J2, MR MOODY, was smiling broadly with each wave back. He counted each wave-back and reached 13 before I said let’s roll.

We found more blackberries, which we investigated orally. The incline became steeper. I ended up pushing J3’s and my bike. We then headed off the tarmac road and started climbing a dirt track onto a tree-ridden mountain. Surprisingly we encountered around 10people on that mountain as we journeyed up and up and up.

Eventually we found a fallen tree and decided to break out the picnic. We each had a chicken sandwich, J2 had most of a pair, some apple. J3 had a sandwich too and 2 chocolate biscuits.
They saw some kids and teens in the distance and wandered off to investigate.

It turns out that by pure random walking/cycling we had come upon a favourite haunt of adventure mountain cyclists and mountain boarders (like a skateboard but with bigger, pram size wheels; but with grip). The cyclists were basically jumping off a piece of earth the size of a two-story house into a dip and then racing up the other side. The mountain boarder was racing down the mountain in spurts, jumping over obstacles and going round trees and rocks.
J1 and J3 spent an hour making friends and watching the teen boys too.

Eventually the teens left and the mountain boarder stayed only a little longer (he was only 10). Now came one of the most fun parts of the day. Having taken the effort to journey up a mountain WITH A BIKE... WE WERE NOW GOING TO GO DOWN…AT SPEED!!!!
The first part was going down the dirt track – to the right of which was a drop at an angle of 45degrees. J2 raced down and was out of my eyesight. J3 cycled down with great skill and good speed – scary speed for me! AND when we got to the paved road…WOW those boys had no fear. They must have gone down that road at 35-45kph! During all this mad speed the kids had broad grins and vocalised their thoughts “THIS IS BRILLIANT”.
It was a shame that J1 had not come along.

The journey home had a few more eventful moments. When we got home, their mother and J1 were waiting to take them. The timing of our arrival was incredible. The kids had dinner and were soon whisked off, as tomorrow was a school day. They would sleep well I was certain.

At his mum’s home J1 had played a lil on his Xbox but had soon fallen asleep. He had been tired the poor guy. So when we met him he looked happier and healthier.

I was bushed and suddenly felt it once the kids had left. Still every time I thought of the bike journeys and the smiles of joy I could not help but feel good. Once again I had come through with the loving entertainment.

During the time the kids had gone off to investigate the bikers, I encouraged the sprites of the woods to aid me in enabling my dreams to fruit.

Night Night :)

Saturday 16th September 2006
My nephews were dropped down yesterday evening. They looked tired. I soon got them changed into nightclothes and they watched HOODWINKED [yes again :) ] – it’s a very funny movie with plenty to make kiddies, teens and adults laugh. After it they all headed up, reluctantly brushed and were soon asleep.

This morning we all had breakfast and chilled. Eventually the youngest fell to my charms and agreed to go out. He then suggested we play tennis in the garden. I rolled out my tennis rackets (the first time for months – I have 4, always prepared) and we were soon in the back garden having fun. Soon we were joined by the rest of his brothers and we deep into fun, climbing, arguing, sniping, teaching, sermonising – u know regular parent type activities :).

Then J1, the eldest suggested we go play on the tennis courts. Since his bike had a puncture he suggested we walk. WALK…DID HE SAY WALK! NO WAY! I WILL FIX YOUR BIKE BEFORE YOU SEE ME WALK! So I fixed his bike, it took me all of 10minutes to replace his inner tube with a spare I had hanging around. Despite it only taking 10 minutes J3 still asked me “Are you ready yet?” about 10 times during those 10minutes :). We cycled to their new home first, so that J1 could pick up some shorts. The ride was fun, a convoy of 4, past many kids and adults and no doubt all assuming I was the father of the cute kids. J1 and J2 would motor ahead while J3 (soon to be 7years old) kept me company with his views of the world. E.g. “Lets go this way, I know where this goes”, “Lets go in the jungle, it scares me, are you going with me”, “Don’t go in the mud you’ll sink”.
When we got to their new house their mum was slightly hung over with 4 work-girl-friends. The kids soon raided the kitchen for immediate sweets, J1 went up to find some shorts. J2 decided to also find shorts but failed to his mum’s chagrin, he tried again and failed again, so of course Mum found them and a belt too. Soon we were off.
Soon after we discovered an abandoned industrial estate and went investigating. Broken glass was everywhere as the abandoned building had been visited by hooligans. The building had not long been vacated and that added to the feeling of excitement. The kids discussed “cops” being around the corner, of hidden cameras watching our every move. The only thing that scared me was the thought of the kids cutting themselves on pieces of glass left in doors.
We then cycled on and found some lanes that we’d never been down before. We stopped to check out some blackberries (that were far from traffic and so I felt were safe to try). I like the bitterness of the red berries and the sweetness of a really good blackberry. I got J3 to try a red, and did prepare him for a “bitter/sour” taste (but since kids are into “bitter/sour” sweets now felt he would understand – and he did). His face screwed up…then he asked for more…red ones :). J2 only likes the black berries :).
We soon found ourselves crossing a private golf course. We tried to stay away from the players as I knew we were technically trespassing. I soon found a break in the hedge that would allow us to escape “rich mania” to a busy road on the edge of town. J2 checked out the break in the hedge and noticed the thorns and nettles. The brave guy managed to get himself and his bike, with obvious difficulty, through all these obstacles. J1 followed and he too found it awkward but managed it. I took J3’s bike through and J3 followed through on foot. Then I journeyed through.
The guys recognised where we were and loved crossing busy roads (they obviously took it as a milestone in their growth to manhood). We stopped by the shops and I purchased Ice creams, drinks, crisps and sweets. We sat down behind the shops to eat, talk, watch and do kiddie things.
Finally we set off and finally arrived at the tennis courts. J2 was, in hindsight, obviously tired, as he was very moody. J1, J2 and I played mostly. J3 had a little go but soon disappeared to play in the rest of the park. J1 and J2 soon had a bust up and J1 decided to cycle around the park. I had a few more rounds with J2 and he did play some sweet shots. But every time he played “what he thought of as a bad shot” he would berate himself and then play lazy tennis on the next shot. Eventually I stopped as my groin started complaining – caused more by sudden attempts at bursts of speeds – the good news is the left groin is doing more that it could 2 months ago so there is some progress.

I cycled home, J2 stayed in the tennis courts in a mood. J1 went back to get him (as I waited around the corner). J3 complained that the other 2 were allowed to stay so why couldn’t he? I cycled on 100m and then waited. J3 soon came. We stopped by a tree, which had a smaller branch, at about head-level, that looked like a snake sitting on a bigger branch. So I showed it to J3. As he went to make a closer investigation, J1 and J2 appeared in the distance. Soon all were investigating the “apparent snake”.

A happier convoy then set off for home. They had dinner and watched “Attack of the Clones”. J1 was first to head off to bed (before the movie completed), J2 followed. J3, the youngest, managed to keep awake for the entire movie.

Paul Owen - Favourite waste of time
You're mine - you're my favourite waste of time

Mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time.

Here I am

I'm playing day dreaming fool again - my favourite game

And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above

You're the one that I love
'cause -
You're mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time

I don't care if being with you is meaningless and ridiculous

If it's wrong or right
I'm gonna give you my love tonight

And tomorrow night
'cause -
You're mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time

'Cause you're mine - I must be out of my mind

Yes
you're mine all the time - I'm wasting all time!

Even though the love you give to me
never shows I can take the blows
And there's one last thing
I'm gonna give you my love tonight

And the bells gonna ring
and -
You're mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time

You're mine - you're my favourite waste of time

Mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time

Mine - baby
you're my favourite waste of time

UB40 ft. Chrissy Hynde - I Got You Babe
They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out till we grow
Well I don't know why that's true
Cause you got me baby, I got you

refrain:
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earn'd our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

refrain

I got flowers in the spring
I got you, you wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared you're always around
And then they say your hair's too long
But I don't care, with you I can't do wrong
Then put your warm little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

refrain

I got you to hold my
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go
I got you who loves me so
I got you, babe

Boyz II Men - Motown Philly
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz ii men going off
Not too hard, not too soft

It's long overdue but now
Philly is slammin'
Boyz ii men, abc, bbd
The east coast family

Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South street
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
And all the Philly steaks you could eat

Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you

refrain:
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz ii men going off
Not too hard, not too soft

The spotlight is on us now
Watch us do this
Da da, daaa da da, da da da da da da

Live and direct from Philly town
Rap and hype and we can get down
We are ready to roll
So now the world will know that we were

Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you

refrain

Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa

Leo Sayer - How much love
How much love do you need
Before you give your love to me
How much time before it grows
How much love I wanna know

What can I do
What can I say
The last thing I want
Is to drive you away
How much love does it take
How much love for heaven sake

How much love, how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
How much love, how much love

Am I tryin' too hard
Give me some kind of clue
There must be a way to get through to you
Should I come on strong or do I hesitate
Do I rush right in or do I wait

How much love, how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
How much love, how much love

I get so much love
Don't know where to begin
I'm pleadin' with you babe
You gotta give in

Fugees - Killing me softly "
Strumming dub plates with our fingers,
Eliminate sounds with our song,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
Taking sound boys' lives with this dub,
Killing him softly with this sound.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song

Yo l-boogie, take it to the bridge

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was. . .

The Weeks fly by, The Months Whizz, The Year draws to a close.
The groin strain finally appears to be on the final stages of healing – so I thought. I hope to be back in sporting action by the end of the month – I doubt it. I continue to cycle. The groin strain has curtailed my exercise regime and I have only been able to do 90 press-ups and 80 sit-ups per session during this time. – still a fact.

The following music flowed through my head on 14/9/6:

Tears For Fears - Shout
Marvin Gaye - Heard it Through The Grapevine
Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach
?

Nateo - My Cherie Amour
Robbie Williams - Old before I die
Lily Allen - Smile
?

Cameo - Word Up

?

Martha & the muffins - Echo beach
I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down
From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around
From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time
REPEAT AND FADE

Robbie Williams - Old Before I Die live
She's taking me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say
I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
She's not feeling stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beating faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days we're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay
I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to see the day
The pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say, I say, I say
I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
Old before I die
Old before
Old before
Old before I die
Old before I die

Lily Allen Smile
When you first left me
I was wanting more
But you were fucking that girl next door
Whatd you do that for
When you first left me
I didnt know what to say
Id never been on my own that way
Just sat by myself all day
refrain:
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end
Now youre calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And its only because youre feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
Yea it makes me smile
Yea it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back
And I tell you it don't mean jack
No it don't mean jack
I couldnt stop laughing
No I jus couldnt help myself
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
refrain
Now youre calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And its only because youre feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
Yea it makes me smile
Yea it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I jus smile
I go ahead and smile

Cameo - Word Up
Yo, pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
Cause they're about to throw down and you'll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Gilde by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word
Word up everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up it's the code word
No matter where you say it you'll know that you'll be heard
Now all you sucker dj's who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
you try to put on those airs and act real cool
But ya got to realise that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it we need to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word
Word up everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Low
Dial “L” for Low
C'mon all you people say
W.O.R.D. up, W.O.R.D. up, W.O.R.D. up, W.O.R.D. up

Sadness Reigns

Sad news arrived from another continent. My aunt, and last remaining sister of my mother, died in July. She received the letter today. I last met my aunt over 10years ago. At that time she had last seen me as a nursery child. So when her younger sister turned up with all the descendents (me, my bro and sis), we were all greeted with incredible fondness and love. The greetings we were given were not just from immediate family but from the entire village. At that time we were greeted by her 3 sisters and 1 brother. Now she is left with a just brother who is not entirely well either - the other sisters having died during the intervening years.

J3 fell over and cut his head, again, in school. He was taken to hospital as the bleeding looked bad and as a precaution (happens with all head injuries). He is ok. Initially the story was that he was pushed by one of his school mates - but tomorrow I get told by J1 that it was an accident (though it was in school).

The following music flowed through my head on 13/9/6:

Bring me Sunshine - Morecombe and Wise / Willie Nelson
Wonderwall - Oasis
Ebony and Ivory - Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney

Bring me Sunshine - Morecombe and Wise / Willie Nelson
Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,
Bring me Laughter, all the while,
In this world where we live, there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow,

Make me happy, through the years,
Never bring me, any tears,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes,
Bring me rainbows, from the skies,
Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun,
We can be so content, if we gather little sunbeams,

Be light-hearted, all day long,
Keep me singing, happy songs,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

Wonderwall - Oasis
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me (3x)

Bob Marley - I Shot The Sherrif
(I shot the sheriff,
but I didn't shoot no deputy
Oh, no, oh
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah

All around in my hometown
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy
But I say, oh, now, now...

Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I said, I shot the sheriff, Oh Lord
And they say it is a capital offense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hear this

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows."
He said, "Kill them before they grow."

And so, oh, now, now,
Read it in the news

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Where was the deputy?
I said I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down
And I say, if I am guilty I will pay

I shot the sheriff, but I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooh, no, oh
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy
Ooo, ooo, ooh

Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket a-go-a well
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out
I say, I, I, ...

I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy, no

Lisa In The Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
(15x)

Gary Numan - Cars

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars

Here in my car
The image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door
In cars

Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars

I know I've started to think
I know I've started to think

Assertiveness, Beauty, Thrillseeking, Sports - Her Turn-ons :)
My internet has been out of action for a few weeks. I'm back now and running at 10Meg :).
Saturday I got myself ready and cycled 5miles to the market where I intended to purchase a new bike. When I got there I found a cycle stall with 4 old bikes and various accessories at ordinary prices. I purchased nothing, mainly because there was nothing of interest.

I then wandered about the other stores, passing in and out of people. I bumped into H, the football buddy, and his girlfriend. He stopped to talk for about 3 sentences each. His girlfriend ignored us and carried on walking. She has an ass that reminds me of safari shots of our big eared brothers in Africa and India :). So he left soon so that he could catch up to her.
The market was a buzzing, but the goods more resembled boot-sale products than "market no-shop front, no rent, goods". So I left.

I cycled into town and tried out some shorts and a shirt in the town centre sports shop. It was as I got to the till I discovered I could not find my wallet. I was 49% sure that some no good thief had opened my side pockets and made off with it, but I was 51% sure I had left it home - during some side-thoughts moment. I cycled home and found my wallet laying on the coffee table. So I cycled back to town and purchased my goods, which the kind salesman had kept behind him (more likely he had been too busy to move from the till - town too was buzzing).

Thence to home and major surgery on a hedge. Nephews J2 and J3 were brought over by their dad. J2's bike chain is broken. So J2, J3 and I cycled to the bike shop. The bike man refused to repair and instead sold me a chain repair tool and a couple of links. Outside the store the kids played in the totally empty car park of a cashNcarry. I failed miserably in trying to fix the chain with the supplied tools. Eventually we headed back home.

The next day the kids were joined by their elder brother and had a day of fun with their dad. I meanwhile was able to keep busy fixing J2's bike (successfully, resorting to a hammer :) after about 3 hours). Being a glutton for hard work I then carried on to replace "my" current bikes back bike rim and back brakes. I also disassembled the back brake mechanism and finally figured out how it works and what the "meaningless" screw on the side does.

The most important effect on me was the sense of achievement. Fixing a bike chain was a key memorable ability, that I knew my father had performed on a bike, that I had, upto this point in my life, not. The fact that I had now also done it was a poignant moment.

The heading: This refers to a website I discovered. It lists Lisa's turn-ons. By Friday I was feeling chuffed at having gotten her mostly out of my head. Sadly Saturday and my roaming on the internet led me to "taking more Lisa drugs" and suddenly I appear to be hooked again.

The groin strain finally appears to be on the final stages of healing. I hope to be back in sporting action by the end of the month. I continue to cycle. The groin strain has curtailed my exercise regime and I have only been able to do 90 press-ups and 80 sit-ups per session during this time.

During the past month my brother lost his, and his kid's pride and joy - his open-top family sports car. Some youth full of alcahol failed to take a turn and crashed straight into his car. 10minutes earlier and it would have contained him and friends. The car is a right off but thankfully no person was harmed. The drunken lad got away dispite an adreniline based chase by my brother - who tried to chase him, on town streets, with no shoes on.

Watched Zathura - loved it :). Still got the kid in me.

The following music flowed through my head on 7/9/6 and 8/9/6:

Amazing Grace
As Time Goes By
Ebony and Ivory - Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Hey Jude - The Beatles
Celine Dion - River Deep Mountain High

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Wet Wet Wet - love is all around

Marvin Gaye - Heard it Through The Grapevine
?
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

As Time Goes By
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Ebony and Ivory - Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why don't we?

refrain:
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?

Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh

refrain

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?

Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony

Hit the Road Jack - Ray Charles
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.

Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hey Jude - The Beatles
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
The you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na na na
Na na na na

Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let get into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

Hey Jude
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you can begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh

Na, na na na na na na
na na na na, hey Jude

Celine Dion - River Deep Mountain High
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High

Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, ba

Marvin Gaye - Heard it Through The Grapevine
Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Dontcha know that I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Dontcha know I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey, honey, I know
That you're lettin' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine

Today: Bike got a puncture, 3 staff didn't turn up. Plans changed. The bike is now acting like a zimmer frame. I got my bro to deliver a bike pump and spare innertube, but i forgot to tell him to bring spanners, tube remover. Luckily they had all I need at work. Sadly I got home too late to play with the nephews. I have, hopefully, repaired my brothers bike and will, inshallah, use it tomorrow.

I had great fun with the youngest nephew yesterday. We went to the cycle track. He pulled off some of the big bumps yesterday. He did scuff his knee but never stopped. He didn't want to leave. We then walked 200m along a 1.7m wall, which is 15cm wide. It was great fun and we were soon copied by kids all around. Getting up and getting down were tricky for me as my groin is still a long way from comfortable.

Minnie Ripperton - Lovin You
Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful
Making love with you is all I wanna do
Loving you is more than just a dream come true
Everything that I do is out of loving you

No one else can make me feel the colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in Spring-time
Loving you has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my life is filled with loving you
Loving you I see your soul come shining through
And everytime that we oooh I'm more in love with you

The Marcels - Blue Moon
Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Stevie Wonder - Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love.

Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
[INTRO]

Whhooaa, whhooaa, whhooaaaa

I get the same old dreams, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the back street light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

[INTERLUDE]

If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong

Huhhhhh

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Ever since, you been gone

[GUITAR SOLO OUTRO]

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Since you been gone, since you been gone

[FADE]

Tina Turner - Simply the best
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong baby

You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go

Let's make lots of -

I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be rich?

You've got the brawn, I've got the brains

You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne

I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them

I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously, you know, it makes sense

Shout (2x)
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
(2x)

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy (2x)

refrain

They gave you life
And in return you gave them Hell
As cold as I ice
I hope we live to tell the tale. (2x)

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart (2x)

Leo Sayer - When I need You
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

Oh, I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

Oh I need you darling

Brotherhood of man - Save all your kisses for me
Though it hurts to go away

And I really should be gone
But You keep me hanging on for one more smile

And grace will lead me home

And flesh shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess
Within the vail
A life of joy and peace

How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Saturday - Sunshine on a Rainy Day.

Spent half the day checking out bikes. My back up bike is coming to the end of its life. Body part on it are beginning to fail. The chain is coming off more frequently. It appears the front cogs have worn away and become triangles (instead of trapezoids). Square part have rounded off. I now only have 2 operating gears on the backup bike. I have to accelerate with care lest the chain pop off with the power surge generated by SUPERTHIGHS :).

I tried a MARIN, and could not get on with it. I tried a TREK 7100 with front suspension and felt home again. I negotiated a good, at least familiar price. However I did not purchase it today.
I cycled over to another bicycle shop and tried out a RIDGEBACK VELOCITY and again it felt good but they would not negotiate on price. I then tried a GARY FISHER bike and again found it a good ride.
So I am left to ponder. Obviously the more you pay the better the parts you get. I am tending towards the TREK, as I have experienced its worthiness.

Only one of the kids over today. He is 6 and is CUTENESS epitomised. He also loves cuddles and has a constant smile and grin on him. He sees the best in everyone. We get on really well. The older kids are starting to look for peers to play with. The eldest, at 11, gets bored here now and misses playing with his local friends. So today he is at his friends. The middle child is spending a day with other relatives.

The weather meant we spent most of the afternoon and evening inside. Tomorrow has arrived but he is asleep, though he did wake up having suffered a bad dream. He asked for a glass of water. I asked him if he remembered the bad dream - he'd already forgotten the content of the dream. Isn't the brain a funny organ, you are left with the knowledge "it was a bad dream".

MY SOUL SINGS

HERE ARE A LIST OF TODAY'S TRACKS

Doris Day: QUE SERA, SERA

Doris Day: QUE SERA, SERA
When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, "What will I try?
Should I paint pictures"
Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

When I grew up and fell in love.
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be."

Now I have Children of my own.
They ask their mother, "What will I be?"
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly:

"Que sera, sera,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
Que sera, sera,
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera!"

The Spinners - Workin My Way Back To You
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been paying every day)
Do, do, do, do, do

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
But how I cried over losing you

See, I'm down and out
But I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'll pay and, girl, till the day I die

I'll keep workin' my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do

Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
You'd be here, baby, loving me

Now my nights are long and lonely
And I ain't too proud, babe, I just miss you so
Girl, but you're too proud and you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Been payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do

(You, you, babe)
My road is kind of long
(You, you, babe)
I just gotta get back home

Whoa, I'm really sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry, ooh, little girl
I'm really sorry for throwin' away our love, sweet little girl
I'm really sorry for makin' you cry
I really mean it, don't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm really sorry for telling you lies for so long

Oh, please, forgive me, girl, come on (Give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey, (Let's have romance)
Ooh, forgive me, girl (Let's try again)
Come on, forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over and over again

Won't you give me one more try
If you don't I believe I'll die

I'm sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry, little bitty girl
I'm really sorry for throwin' away our love

Please, baby, forgive me, girl, oh (Give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me, girl, hey (Let's have romance)
Please forgive me, girl (Let's try again)
Forgive me, girl
I want you over and over and over and over and over again

I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Hey, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
Do, do, do, do, do
(Payin' every day)
Do, do, do, do, do

I keep working my way back to you, babe
Oh... yeah (Burning love inside)
I keep workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died

I let it get away
(Do, do, do, do, do)
Paying every day
(Do, do, do, do, do)

I keep working my way back to you, babe
Yeah... (Burning love inside)
(Working my way back to you, babe)
And the happiness that died

LEO SAYER - HOW MUCH LOVE
How much love do you need
Before you give your love to me
How much time before it grows
How much love I wanna know

What can I do
What can I say
The last thing I want
Is to drive you away
How much love does it take
How much love for heaven sake

How much love, how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
How much love, how much love

Am I tryin' too hard
Give me some kind of clue
There must be a way to get through to you
Should I come on strong or do I hesitate
Do I rush right in or do I wait

How much love, how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
How much love, how much love

I get so much love
Don't know where to begin
I'm pleadin' with you babe
You gotta give in

Rod Stewart - Da ya think I'm sexy
Sugar, Sugar, mmm Ooh

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
he's so nervous avoiding all the questions.
His lips are dry her heart is gently pounding
don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so.
Tell me so, baby.

He's acting shy looking for an answer,
Come on honey, let's spend the night together,
Now hold on a minute before we go much further,
Give me a dime so I can 'phone my mother,
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment,
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant.

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on honey tell me so.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know.

His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got his girl home
relax baby now we are alone
Oh

They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing,
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking.
Outside it's cold misty and it's raining,
They got each other neither one's complaining,
He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee,
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie.

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so.
Oh, .... , Sugar

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know.
If you really, really, really, really need me
just let me know
just reach out and touch me, mmm
If you really want me
just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
if you, if you, if you really need me
just come on and tell me so

Pet Shop Boys - What have i done to deserve this?
You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money
(Got to have it)
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
(Can't take it)
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I ...

Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to - forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I ...

Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through? (tell me)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through? (baby)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through? (yeah)
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

Gonna get through?
Gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
I'm gonna get through, right?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
You never ever left me, baby, think of me...
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Oh, babe
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Forever
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, baby, yeah,
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?

Rock-a-bye, baby
Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

Baby is drowsing
Cosy and fair
Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings

From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep
Until morning light

Imagination - Body Talk
Morning, afternoon, and night
We lay together side by side
Searchin' for lust
Searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life

No words are spoken
the only sound we hear
is body talk, body talk

The heat of passion is such
a beautiful thing as it overflows
Pleasure grows all the dreams it can bring
Ooh, your lips in my eyes and gentle sighs
With body talk, body talk

Cool and kind, so soft and pure, a touching moment
Heated feelings once explode, but have melted
We were two souls torn apart with bitter ages
Through expression not aggression, we have become one

Body talk, body talk

Cool and kind, so soft and pure, a touching moment
Heated feelings once explode, but have melted
We are two souls torn apart with bitter ages
Through expression not aggression, we have become one

Searchin' for lust
Searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life

No words are spoken
the only sound we hear
is body talk, body talk, body talk, body talk, body talk

Baa dee daa dee baa ree ree daa
[Body Talk] Ooh Now sugar
[Body Talk] Aah aah aah
[Body Talk] Oh ah
[Body Talk] Baa dee dee daa
[Body Talk] Ooh body to body

SMALL FACES - LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbors
But they make it very clear they've got no room for ravers

They stop me from groovin, they bang on me wall
They're doin me crust in it's no good at all,

Lazy sunday afternoon, I've got no mind to worry, close my eyes and
Drift away

Here we all are sittin in a rainbow(do do do do)
Cor blimey hallo missus Jones hows your Berts lumbago?
I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune
I'll sing at your party while you suss out the moon, oh yeah

Lazy sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry,
Close my eyes and drift away, yea

Aroo de do de do aroo de do de di day
Aroo de do de dum aree de de do dee

Theres no one to hear me, theres nothin to say,
And no one can stop me from feelin this way

Lazy sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away

Lazy sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift a-
Close my eyes and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away...

Tina Turner - What's love got to do with it
You must understand how the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

*(What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken)

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen

Ghost Town Lyrics
This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days
Before the ghost town?
We danced and sang,
And the music played inna de boomtown

This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry

This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town

The Four seasons - December 1963 (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh what a night,
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

Oh what a night,
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

Joan Armatrading - Drop the Pilot
I'm right on target
My aim is straight
So you're in love
I say what of it
Things can change
There's always changes
And I wanna try
Some rearranging

Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins
There's no smoke
No flame
If you lose that pilot
I can fly your plane
If you want solid ground
Come on and try me
Or I can take you so high
That you're never gonna wanna
Come down

Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I said
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Eurythmics - Missionary man Missionary Man
Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin...

My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother -
But don't mess with a missionary man."

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well the missionary man
He's got God in his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those Bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've a message for you that you better believe."

(Chorus repeats...)

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,

Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.

Don't hear your wicked words every day

that my love was an addiction.
When we cling our love is strong.
When you go you're gone forever.
You string along, you string along.

My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say oh my Lord

Making 'em sweat that's what I'm giving 'em
Now they know when you talk about the Hammer
You talk about a show that's hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin' so pass them a mic
Or a tape to learn what it's gonna take
And now he's gonna burn
The charts legit either work hard
Or you might as well quit
That's word because you know

Break it down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh) (x2)

Bump bump bump yeah

The Reflex - Duran Duran
You've gone too far this time but I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around with my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it another day to make my stand oh-woah
High time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand oh-whoa
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it

The reflex is a lonely child just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding a treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I wanna get off but they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set don't wanna be around when this gets out
So why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it

The reflex is a lonely child he's waiting in the park
The refelx is in charge of finding a treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

So why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it

The reflex is a lonely child just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a question mark
Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding a treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Everylittle thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

SEAL - KISS FROM A ROSE
refrain:
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

ROSE GARDEN
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
ran along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
but I don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
so you better think it over.
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
but what would it matter.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
but if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
but there's one thing I want you to know.
So look before you leap still waters run deep
and there won't always be someone to pull you out.
And you know what I'm talking about.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can.

DION - RUNAROUND SUE
Chorus:
Hayp hayp
Bumda hady hady, hayp hayp
Bumda hady hady, hayp hayp
Bumda hady hady hayp.

Chorus

Ah, I should have known it from the very start,
This girl will leave me with a broken heart.
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue.

I miss her lips and the smile on her face,
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue.

Chorus

Ah, she likes to travel around,
She'll love you but she'll put you down.
Now people let me put you wise,
Sue goes out with other guys.

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows,
I fell in love and my love still grows.
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue.

Chorus

(Repeat last two verses and Chorus)

Sister Sledge - Lost In Music
We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

Have you ever seen
Some people lose everything
First to go is their mind. huh
Responsibility
To me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh

I want to join a band
And play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

Mmm, hmm, in the spotlight
The band plays so very tight
Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity
To me, it's my sanity
I could never survive

Some people ask me
What are you gonna be
Why don't you go get a job, uh-uh
All that I could say
I won't give up my music
Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh...oh...

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap (Caught up in our music)
No turnin' back (Ooh...ooh...ooh...)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music)
Feel so alive (Feel)
I quit (I quit) my 9 to 5 (Yeah)
We're lost in music

We're lost in music (Melody is good to me)
Caught in a trap (I'm caught up in it)
No turnin' back (No, no, no)
We're lost in music (Ooh...doo doo doo doo doo doo)

We're lost in music (La da da da da da da da, mmm...hmm...)
Feel so alive
I quit (I quit) my 9 to 5
We're lost in music (Lost in music)

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music

Tommy Steele - Half a sixpence
I read in the Sunday papers what lovers' tokens are
There's amulets and there's talismans
Like a ring or a lucky star
It says that half a sovereign
Is a thing they use a lot
But sixpence is the only thing I've got

Still, half a sixpence
Is better than half a penny
Is better than half a farthing
Is better than none
It's a token of
Our eternal love
When you're far away
Touch it everyday
And, though, that half a sixpence
Can only mean half a romance
Remember that half a romance
Is better than none
But when I'm with you
One and one make two
And, likewise, two half sixpences
Joined together make one

Olivia Newton-John - Physical
I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like, makin' good conversation
I gotta handle you just right, you know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie
There's nothin' left to talk about, unless it's horizontally

CHORUS
Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk

repeat CHORUS

I've been patient, I've been good, tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back, you know what I mean
I'm sure you'll understand my point of view, we know each other mentally
You gotta know that you're bringin' out the animal in me

CHORUS repeats 2x

Oh, let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk

Let's get animal, animal, I wanna get animal, let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk, let me hear your body talk

(mostly instrumental to end)

Let me hear your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Frank Sinatra - New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York

New York...New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York New York!!!

Bananarama feat. Fun Boy Three - It ain't what you do
refrain:
It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it (3x)
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it (3x)
And that's what gets results

You can try hard don't mean a thing
Take it easy and then your jive will swing

It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it (3x)
And that's what gets results

I thought I was smart but I soon found out
I didn't know what life was all about
But then I learnt I must confess
That life is like a game of chess

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results

You can try hard don't mean a thing
Take it easy and then your jive will swing

refrain

It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it (3x)
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it (3x)
And that's what gets results

Trapped - Colonel Abrahams
Should I listen what you say
or listen what your folks say?
It's a tough decision to make.
I don't really wanna lose you

but I don't want your folks to
Turn me over to the hands of the law.

I guess they think that I'm not good enough for you.
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes.
As the tears roll from my eyes I feel the hurt inside.
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused.
Oh
oh
I'm trapped
like a fool I'm in a cage.
I can't get out
you see I'm trapped

can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out
you see I'm trapped

like a fool I'm in a cage.
I can't get out
you see I'm trapped

can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out!

If you love one another
why should you let this go further?
Can't you see it's gonna pull us apart.
If you think I can't afford to
support you if you want to

Ever think about ever settlin' down.

I guess they think that I'm not good enough for you. . . .

Can't you see I'm so trapped
and I don't know what to do.
Can't you see I'm so trapped. so in love with you.
See I'm trapped
and I'm so confused

I'm like a man in a cage
and I'm so in love with you.
I'm trapped
your thoughts are in the way

And I don't know what to say
you see I'm trapped.
Oh
I told myself
if I ever love again

What am I gonna do about it? Say it again - trapped.

Oh
baby
'I'm trapped - can't you see I'm so trapped?
I'm so confused - and I don't know what to do -
I'm like a man in a cage - can't you see I'm so trapped -
And I'm so in love with you
love with
love with you.
Oh
I'm trapped
feel so confused
so impressed - trapped.
Hey
I'm so in love with you

Oh
I'm trapped
baby
oh
I'm trapped
baby.
Oh
I'm trapped
baby.
Can't you see I'm so trapped
and I don't know what to do.
Can't you see I'm so trapped
so in love with you.
I'm going out of my head
it seems I'm crazy for you.

Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you

Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door

You're about as easy as a nuclear war
Cos the dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say

Gloria Estefan - Anything For You
Anything for you
Though you're not here
Since you saod we're through
It seems like years
Time keeps draggin' on and on
And forever's been and gone
Still I can't figure what went wrong

I'd still do anything for you
I'll play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though you'll never see me cryin'
You know inside I feel like dying

And I'd do anything for you
In spite of it all
I've learned so much from you
You made me strong
But don't even think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

I hope you find someone to please you
Someone who'll care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to

And I'd do anything for you
I'll give you up
If that's what I should do
To make you happy

I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though inside I feel like dying
You know you'll never see me cryin'

But don't even think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

R KELLY - I Believe I Can Fly
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1] - I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Power Station - Some Like It Hot
We want to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you're qualified, are you gonna do it
Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot

Some like it hot, some like it hot

Tell It To My Heart - Taylor Dayne
I feel the night explode when we're together.
Emotion overload in the heat of pleasure.
Take me I'm yours into your arms.
Never let me go.
Tonight I really need to know.
Tell it to my heart
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
The passion's so complete. It's neverending.
As long as I receive, the message you're sending.
Body to body, soul to soul
Always feel you near.
So say the words I long to hear.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Love, love on the run, breaking us down,
Though we keep holding on.
I don't want to lose, no I can't let you go.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Tell it to my heart. Tell me from the start. Tell it to my heart.
Tell it to my heart. Tell me from the start. Tell it to my heart.
Never make it stop. Oh, take it to the heart.
Tell it to my heart...

CLOUT - SUBSTITUTE
Sam
you've been waiting much to long
Now it looks like she's not coming home.
Sam
you've been loyal
true and faithful
All this time with being alone.
If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation
If she doesn't come back

Chor: If she doesn't come back

I'll be your substitute
Whenever you want me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
Whenever you need me

Sam ev'ry day you waited for her
I've been waiting here for you.
Sam
all this time I've been lonely
I know what you've been going through
I'll wait until an't chances will come
'Cos you can't keep alying on her
If she doesn't come back.

Chor: If she doesn't come back.

I'll be your substitute
Whenever you want me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
When ever you need me

Each day by your window you sit and sigh hoping to see her face.
Ay
you might as well forget about her and find someone to take
her place.

Chor: If she doesn't come back

I'll be your substitute
When ever you want me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
When ever you need me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute...

Barbados - Secret
Noone who knows, does somebody here got a story to sell?
Where did you go?
I´m writing you letters and sending you mail
A day passes by
A night fades away, dreamed you will come back and stay

Chorus:
Got to know your secret
I promise I will keep it
(keep it close to your heart) Keep it close to my heart
Got to know your secret
I´m here for you believe it
(you never let go) I promise I´ll never let go

A moment of love
A minute of passion,
i know you´re the one
I´m looking above
Can somebody help me, don´t know where to run (don´t know where to go)
A day passes by
A night fades away, dreamed you will come back and stay

CHORUS: ...........

A day passes by
A night fades away, dreamed you will come back and stay!

CHORUS: twice .......

I promise I´ll never let go!

BLONDIE - SUNDAY GIRL
I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl

Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl

When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
I got the blues

The Lil Guy Leaves
6pm The lil guy and his mum have left the county. He gave me a great big hug.
I said, "I love you."
He said, the 5year old, " I love you too."
I said, "I'll miss you."
He said, "I'll miss you, but I miss my dad. Never mind, I'll be back."
He didn't cry, not until later. He kept a smile on his face. But when we did final hugs with my sister, his mum, suddenly he started the water works. Didn't last long, just long enough for him to get it out of his system. Then he laughed at my antics :).

Later, it starts to get stuffy in da house. So I lighten up my look, put on some duds, get out ma bike and ride into tha wind. It's late but the sun still hangs up there. It's warm enuff if ya cycle hard enuff - I do. Beat the car to the first gate, beat the next car to cross the road and have to slow for a noob stumblin' thru the first narrow. I over take "him".

I fly through the 2nd narrow and hit the brakes on the third. This side of the gate lies a bike, a mum and a kid in a bike seat. Just about to enter the 3rd narrow, and the cause of me braking, is a smilin' male pensioner enjoyin' bike riding in the park. I give him his space, smile back at all present and jump through the gate. I attempt to overtake some joggers and the chain falls off the cog - on the uphill bit of the damned bridge. I manage to retrieve the situation insitu and pass the joggers at the second attempt. On passing I give the gents a swift apology.

I fly across the main-car-encrusted-bridge without needing to slow, the chain jumps off again but again I am able to swiftly retrench it back into place with need to stop. I reached the coast and cycled for around 8miles around there before heading back.

I decide to pass through town. The town is full of the "beautiful people". I come to the main junction on the Main High Street and am force to wait by red lights. On green I push my bike and the bloody chain falls off MAJOR STYLE. It refuses to jump back easily and I'm forced to get off and roll it to the side. I look around for something to stop my hand getting oily and find a shopping receipt. But the chain has major kinks and needs my hands. After about 5minutes, my hands are oil-black, people are walkin' by, bouncers are hangin' in their doors, and I am down on my feet, knees bent, playin' wit da chain.
When it's finally on, I look around for sometin to use to clean da gunk on my lims. NOTHIN! So I cycle to da park, find some grass and lay da hands on it. I find some leaves, rip em, and do the jesus on dem.
I headed for home.
Here I am.

James Brown - Fever
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.

Ev'rybody's got the fever
that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afire
Fever yea I burn for sooth'

Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses,
Oh daddy, won't you treat him right'

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

REM - Losing My Religion
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

Melissa Errico - Wouldn't It Be Loverly?
All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair; Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'late for me to eat; Lots of coal makin' lots of heat.
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still!
I would never budge 'til Spring crept over my window sill.
Someone's head restin' on my knee; Warm and tender as he can be,
Who takes good care of me; Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.

The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)
