Beyoncé - Disappear



Glazed over on first listen, but really got to appreciate this (and the album as a whole, mostly) while I was away.

Shame she has to seperate herself into two halves so much for distinction, though.
The end result means some songs blur into one another purely because of this.



If I begged and if I cried
Would it change the sky tonight
Would it give me some light
Should I wait for you to call?
Is there any hope at all
Are you drifting by?

When I think about it
I know that I was never there
or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share
with you
I try to reach you
I can almost feel you
You're nearly here
And then you disappear

And when I lie all by myself
I see your face, I hear your voice
My heart stays faithful
And time has come and time has passed
If its good it's got to last
It feels so right

I missed all the signs
One at a time
you weren't ready
What did I know?
Starting our lives
Now my love,
I'm ready to shine.

Memoirs of a Geisha

'If a tree has no leaves or branches, can you still call it a tree?
The heart dies a slow death, shedding it's hope like leaves until there is nothing left to shed.'



I have no words to describe how incredibly beautiful this movie is.
It's a shame I never discovered it til now.
I truly adore this film.

Honesty

Commitment.
You.
Me.

Us.



They mean nothing, all I need is a holiday and a new face.
No more advice, no more pity.

See you in the new year.
Or hopefully not.

YOU ARE SCUM



you give chlamydia a bad name.
Don't let the bitter taste stay in your mouth too long
why not gag it with a cock.

Nerina Pallot - Sophia



Incredible.
I forgot how mesmerizing this video was.
I love this song with everything.


Five o’ clock and a fire escape symphony
Spilling out across the road and the square
And the sky’s the same as your own, do you think of me?
Do the parks and trees and the leaves reach you there?
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me
Calling out, again, and again

Sophia, Sophia, I’m burning, I’m burning
It’s a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, Sophia, I’m learning that some things
I can’t go without
And one of those is him.

And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,
Learn the language, form the words when I speak.
But he changed me, I’m his ghost since he came around
Now I count the hours, and the days and the weeks.....
In passion and silence,
Every word, every line a measure
It’s the science of the soul.
And his books, they breathe a reason
And now, I want to know

Sophia, Sophia, I’m burning, I’m burning
It’s a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, Sophia, I’m learning that some things
I can’t go without
And one of those is him.

And you, with your new born eyes,
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
Do you hurt, but still feel alive
Like never before?

Sophia, Sophia, I’m burning, I’m burning
It’s a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, Sophia, I’m learning that some things
I can’t go without
I can’t go without him.

Be Your Own Pet - Food Fight!



This song is pure jokes.

AMAZING.



LUNCH TIME IS
JUST NOT FAIR
HOT DOG MUSTARD IN YOUR HAIR

SUCKS FOR THE JANITOR...
FIGHT ON
SUCKS FOR THE JANITOR...
FIGHT ON, FIGHT ON
FOOD FIGHT

CRASH A SIX YEAR OLDS BIRTHDAY PARTY
SMASH SOME CAKE IN HER FACE
MAKE HER CRY FOR MUMMY
GOTTA STAND YOUR FUCKIN GROUND
FIGHT ON
YOU GOTTA STAND YOUR FUCKIN GROUND
FOOD FIGHT

PIZZA PARTY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A FOOD FIGHT?
HAWAIIAN STYLE AND LOTS OF MEAT
GOING DOWN YOUR PANTS IN TO YOUR FEET
EXTRA CHEESE
IN YOUR FACE
DON'T FUCK AROUND
GOTTA PICK UP THE PACE
A PIZZA PARTY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THERE'S GONNA BE A FOOD FIGHT?

LUNCH TIME IS
JUST NOT FAIR
HOT DOG MUSTARD IN YOUR HAIR

SUCKS FOR THE JANITOR...
FIGHT ON
SUCKS FOR THE JANITOR...
FIGHT ON

Johnny Foreigner - Waited Up Til It Was Light



Awesome awesome album.
Slowly getting the music taste back on track.
And in a complete circle of fate, Lewes Herriot does all their artwork.



Salt, Peppa & Spinderella
And at the point of taking you right outside
hanging suspended in the air
in the room where I used to stay
You'll find the time if you need it
2,500 miles apart but I never saw you clearer
We played for moments like this
Little sparks, little hits from someone else's garden
Hanging out of 15 storey windows never felt so relaxing
Bring out the real front.
Turn on the real drums.


Yes! You Talk Too Fast
And I'm a lost ghost stalking out grammar school corridors
(Oh, you'll never, oh oh you'll never)
Like the worst kind of habit
How you're only gonna get ignored
(Oh, you'll never, oh oh you'll never)
If I'm a car crash, then you're a car crash too
Like the worst kind of habit
How they're watching while we're at it


Hennings Favourite
I see the girls at your shows
They wear their battles in their hair
You spend too much time indoors shouting "Fake!" at the walls
I thought, I thought that wars were fought for this
I guess, I guess, I guess we lost
At least you know where you stand
So you raise your middle finger to the garage rock
Like zombies are crawling out over the top
How your girlfriend is convinced but you are not
Until the garage rock assimilates

'Greek Week'

How did we switch up these places?



Why am I the weakest now?
Is it because you are so good at being okay?

I'm fed up of fighting to be on top.

"Oh, I've had my chances
And I've taken them all
Just to end up right back
here on the floor."
