Lyrics of the week; It Bites - Oh My God

Oh My God - It Bites

             

Oh my God, the genius of it all

The way the words spit from my mouth

I'm self-assured and meaninglessly bored

and all these things straight through your heart

So when you talk to me there's nothing left to say

And only one thing can remain, so please refrain 'cause

I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

I'm so strung out that nothing else will do

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

Oh my god, how boring I've become

I'll say this again and again

I'm self-obsesses and tedious at best

I'd wish this on no one but you

And when I talk to you I find it hard to say

You're wasting all these words again, I feel ashamed now

I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

I'm so strung out that nothing else will do

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

Hoping these letters will carry you through in the old dramatic way

And I still recall as I bury the wall

It's a gentle reminder there's always the time to go sailing

Hey, you've got yourself to blame

And these promises spoken, like hearts will be broken

I' wrapped around your finger, your words still mean something to me...

I'm so wrapped up in writing words for you

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

I'm so strung out that nothing else will do

(I got your words I got your words, I got your words, I got)

The Last Of The Super Villains!

Well, not really...

"JANUARY 6--A Minnesota man is facing felony charges after police discovered that he had retrofitted a vibrator, turning the sex toy into a homemade explosive device."

Good speech. Quite 'Presidential'.

Obama gave a speech for the people killed in Tucson last week. Good speech, emotional but with quite some depth.

Now reading... Kurt Vonnegut - previously unreleased

I found a 'new' collection of short stories by my favourite non-SF writer Kurt Vonnegut. It's called 'Look at the Birdie' and it contains a number of short stories from his early writing years. None of the stories were previously published. Which makes me wonder which publishers were asleep at the while at the time.
Some stories are better than others. Recommended; 'The King and Queen of the Universe'.

This is Humanism at it's finest.

Welcome To The Cruise

This is a very old song dating back to the 70ies. It was written and performed by Judy Tzuke(born Judie Myers) from London, who at the time was one of Elton John's proteges. Mrs. Tzuke still performs regularly. She wrote many more great tunes but this one sticks out in my mind like a huge cliff. Great voice, sung just desperate enough, great arrangement, what more does one want. And it keeps haunting me...

Welcome To The Cruise - Judy Tzuke

Don't want no darkness in my days, I've got to tell you that
Don't want no clouds to fill my skies, no more goodbyes
I know that this time you have come to me, and run in on me
Good love is running in on me
Don't try to take my time, don't question what is on my mind

Welcome to the cruise
Love come down and run in on me
Welcome to the cruise

No words from me will change your ways, I want to tell you that
Nothing that I see will change your days, nothing will change
'Cause I know this time you have come to me, come to run with me
I know that you will run with me.
Don't try to dim my eyes, don't ever try to live my life

Welcome to the cruise
Come on down and run in with me
Welcome to the cruise

Don't want no darkness in my days, I've got to tell you that
Don't want no clouds to fill my skies
Don't want the earth, no crooked lies,
Don't want the night,
No more goodbyes...
