Guilt?

Should I feel guilt at the fact I don't think of you both everyday?

Re-Evaluate.

Everything in your reality should be re-evaluated at one time or another.
In order to safeguard oneself from 'treading water'
But only from a position of security may I add, thus avoiding a mistaken case of 'Dress rehearsal rag'

It's pointless

'I hear you've got something to say
But first you need some people to say it to
Just before you rise from the dead'

Bloc Party - Biko (Lyrics)

BIKO

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Was my love not strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
(You're not doing this alone)
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

So toughen up,
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
I need you to be strong for us (Resist! )

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
This world isn't kind to little things (Resist! )

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Placebo -'For what it's Worth' Lyrics

Placebo - For what it's Worth

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it's worth
I always aim to please
But I nearly died
For what it's worth
Come on lay with me
Cos I'm on fire
For what it's worth
I'd tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

Broke up the family
Everybody crying
For what it's worth
I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry

For what it's worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide
For what it's worth
Fill the cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

No-one cares when your out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No-one cares when your down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover
No-one cares when your out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No-one cares when your down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover

For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
Got no friends
Got no lover.

Friend?

Somebody once told me ' A good friend is like a good book, You can pick it up from the shelf and just go back to where you left off'

Let's be clear in this ...the supposition of the above statement is that neither you or the 'Friend' will never change over time. For instance the things that motivated you and your friend and even your friendship are they the same 'now' as they were ten years ago, or maybe even a year ago ?

Friendships are like water always moving and sometimes 'clear' and sometimes 'murky' and time passes like a 'current' between the strands of that friendship, sweeping it along or maybe even sweeping it 'out to sea'

To summaries Friendships are like any 'relationship' they need to be nurtured and cared for if they are to continue.

Right Where it Belongs - NIN (Lyrics)

Right Where it Belongs

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side your on ?
Then I look to closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on ?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all ............Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really are alone

You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the worlds
Are you hiding in your dreams ?

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see

Mama Lay softly on the Riverbed (Lyrics) - "Years of refusal" -Morrissey

Mama why did you do it?
mama who drove you to it ?
Was it the pigs in grey suits persecuting you
uncivil servants unconcerned by how they frightened you
life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you


Mama why did you do it?
mama who drove you to it ?


(?) british money men who scared the life out of you
bailiffs with bad breathe I will slit their throats for you
life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you


life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you
(soooo)
I want you
When I come to you
we're going to lie down beside you mama
we're going to met you
We're going to join you
we're going to lie down beside you mama
and we will be safe and sheltered in our graves
we'll come before you and we will kiss you
by way of one fine (?) mama

You Alone ?

If your whole world of reality exists only inside your head.
How does anyone else really know how you feel emotionally about the things that are important to you ?
The things that exist within your soul - not the things that you mention day to day - but the things that motivate you and also scare you into realizing what it is to be you and you alone ?

Say Farewell.....

'Say farewell to your fair-weather friends , and not a second to soon'

Placebo 'Soulmates' Lyrics

Soulmates

The sea's evaporated,
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing,
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written,
But we can't read between the line

Hush, it's okay, dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye,
Soulmates never die

~This one world vision turns us into compromise~
What good's religion when it's each other we despise?
Damn the government damn their killing, damn their lies
~It's okay~

Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes,
cos' soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die


Never die


Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

Leonard Cohen 'Avalanche' Lyrics

Avalanche

I stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.


You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold;
he does not ask for your company,
not at the centre, the centre of the world.


When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare.


You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.


I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.


Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
don't love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear.

Taken from the Album 'Songs of Love and Hate' 1971 Leonard Cohen

"They locked up a man
Who wanted to rule the world
The fools
They locked up the wrong man"

Keane 'Try Again' Lyrics

Try Again

I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I want to see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow

Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting

God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

Old Thoughts.....(July 2007)

Found this amongst my 'kipple' just now.....Interesting insight to my mind at that time.
(What a difference a year makes in your attitude to life)

-----------------

I don't want anything from anyone anymore, I've had enough of being misunderstood - misinformed and ridiculed by people with an IQ about seven circles beneath me...

All I've known, All I understand, I've fought for.

I've kicked against the pricks to get to this.

The Sisters of Mercy 'Marian (Version)' Lyrics

Marian (Version)

In a sea of faces,in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wake
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the

Marian

Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the waves
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...

Was ich kann und was ich konnte (What I can do and what I could do)
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr (I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas schoenes (Give me something beautiful again)
Zieh mich aus dem meer (Drag me from the sea)
Ich hoere dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Kannst du mich schreien hoeren (Can you hear me calling?)
Ich bin hier allein (I am here alone)
Ich hoere dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Ohne deine hilfe verliere ich mich in diesem ort(Without your help I am lost
in this place)

I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the waves
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian
Marian......
