Gordian

To be honest is a trait I always followed,
To be good at what I do is another trait I followed
To be fearless when faced with inner demons - I did cast them out

Beyond all emotion is logic, beyond Logic is emotion
The twists and turns of my reality bind me

And I find I have no sword to remove the Gordian knot from my soul.

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'

Apple Tablet ?

Is September the 9th the Launch of the new Apple Mac Tablet ?

Christmas

Christmas is a time for families - The irony of that 'statement' is not wasted on me.

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

Start Afresh

Everything starts afresh, friendships - even to an extent relationships.
For circumstances like the orbits of the planets change position over time.
Nothing is as it was, do not be frightened of that statement understand it for what it is, a declaration that time changes everything and you can no more change time than you can step back in time and change the events that led you to this point you are at now.

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

Keane "On a Day like today" Lyrics

"On a day like today"

On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky
I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Could never seem to say the things I needed to
On a day like today no other words would do

I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Can never find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why

And I don't know why....
And I don't know why....
And I don't Know why....

I saw you...
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I.....
Can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why....
