I was listening to a podcast featuring Lily Allen yesterday and was reminded of some of her lyrics, she’s really blunt but very clever I think. Even though I don’t actively listen to her songs I do like her & her talents. The Fear is a really good one.
The jam
Down in the tube station at midnight
They smelt of pubs, and wormwood scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
Filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth, it blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
I'm down in the tube station at midnight, oh
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight, oh
"I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right"
Rise Up :yesyes:
This Is Me :D
Does anyone know how (Tony)is aka mezzaninedoor?
"You're in love with a psycho, and there's nothing you can do about it"
I sing this to my husband. :madness:
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
- Time, Pink Floyd
"Well, the truth about a mirror It's that a damn old mirror Don't really tell the whole truth It don't show what's deep inside Oh read between the lines It's really no reflection of my youth"

He said Captain, I said wot?
(He said Captain, he said wot?)

"We've all seen enough wrong and right To know everything's not black and white There's always something in between No matter how long or well you live You don't get anything you don't give Still no slate is clean For better or worse, anybody can Take a look around and find a better man Upright no matter how he's faring No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing The shoes he's wearing They don't make the man So many people out running around Handicapped before they hit the ground Thinking there's nowhere to go Shouldn't we all be looking for ways To keep on seeing our better days We're not chained to what we know But if your eyes are open and your mind is free There's no tellin' what a man can be Upright no matter how you're faring No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing The shoes you're wearing They don't make the man But if you can't walk through the best of times And the worst of times Find your feet still walking the line You'll never carry the load worth bearing"
