梁靜茹 – 別再為他流淚

你走了太久一定很累
他錯了不該你來面對
離開他就好就算了
心情很乾脆
他其實沒有那麼絕對
遠一點你就看出真偽
離開他不等於你的世界會崩潰
轉個彎你還能飛

就別再為他流淚
別再讓他操控你的傷悲
就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
也不要太狼狽
他不值得你的淚
把那遺憾留在大雨的街
你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
以後為自己醉

每段感情都非常珍貴
他的好你就放在心扉
記得有個人曾讓你那樣的心碎

你笑了照亮夜幕的黑
什麼夢都不比你的美
多少年以後想起他還有些體會.
那時你已無所謂

就別再為他流淚
別再讓他操控你的傷悲
就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
也不要太狼狽他不值得你的淚
把那遺憾留在大雨的街
你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
以後為自己醉
就別再為他流淚
別再讓他操控你的傷悲
就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔
也不要太狼狽

他不值得你的淚
把那遺憾留在大雨的街
你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追
以後管他是誰

Quote of the Day #3

The paradox of transportation in the late twentieth century is that while it became possible to travel to the moon, it also became impossible, in many cases, to walk across the street.

- Joell Vanderwagen, 1995

Rachael Yamagata – Quiet

Baby says I can’t come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything

Take care
I’ve been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I’ll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don’t cry
You know why
And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It’ll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything
I don’t expect anything to change when I leave

It’s Elementary: Kids Offer Livable Streets Advice to 44:

At the American Academy of Arts and Letters in Washington Heights, K-5 students from Hamilton Heights Academy and P.S. 28 (along with at least one parent or guardian) added a livable streets flavor to the ‘If I Were President’ display.

I never said what I do is rocket science.

Obviously, we ARE something else and kangaroo

No offence to friends from the States.  I know you are a lovely bunch and all.  And I do know the fact that NOT all the Americans think that way.  But I was first shown the second picture by an American friend when he had to introduce his country in front of a master class.  Anyways, enjoy and have a crack!

After 2003, the world changes:

Sparkle Me – Buffseeds

I almost never ever just post lyrics as a proper entry, but I will make an exception for this song:

Suzy was a winner
At every end of year dinner
Drinking the sea and then laughing loudly
Her eyes were made of sequins
They lined up just like penguins
To flap their wings and then kiss her feet

But you, fall on me, and watch TV
Pass me the phone, I need a conversation
You’re feeling down, just like this town
Your eyes they always sparkle me with love

Alice was a poser
The kind who’d take her clothes off
And sit in a room full of frozen faces
I heard she went to find God
In the Indian sub-continent
It’s mad she had to go so far

But you, fall on me, and watch TV
Pass me the phone, I need a conversation
You’re feeling down, just like this town
Your eyes they always sparkle me with love

Now I’m no Jackanory
But this is allegory
We run to the world but we creep indoors
And I know I need you more now
To run and never turn around
Sparkle the world with what Alice found

And you, fall on me, and smash the TV
Rip out the stupid phone, we need a conversation
You feel this time, to be just mine is
To shake the world alive

And you would think this is sung by a girl…
