Sorry I just felt the need to post these lyrics. When I get to my usual angsty non-smitten self again, will let you guys know.



Once Around the Block (Badly Drawn Boy)

You quiver like a candle on fire
I'm putting you out
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
But I'm fascinated by your style
Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There's nothing to give
I'm infatuated by your moves
I've got to search hard for your clues

I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that I stole
From just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear
You're running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in your shoes
Take a left, a sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start again.

  • I forgot to ask, para kaninot this song? I don't think you'll post this song without anyone in mind? (for instance, iyong kantang bruise violet ng babes in toyland, dedicated ito sa mga ex-friendships ko dahil sa mga linyang: Liar! at You have glue instead of spine... at madami pa. Or ang kanta ng The Butchies na Disco (sorry Madame, I think you have listened to it, pero it was a long time ago you may have forgotten all about the song already) ay dinedicate ko kay *. At siyempre, para pa rin sa aking mga ex-friendships (kaya mej tuliro ako ngayon, kasi I felt like I was a good friend, and I don't think I deserve anything shabby from them... but hey, that's how the world spins. so i have to go along with it. no need to worry, after 3 days wala na ito), at ang kantang iyon ay Officially Dead ng Veruca Salt. Kasi feeling ko Officially Dead na ang aking association with them. Pero, ganun eh. You just leave some things behind.

  • naku lola idaan na lang natin sa inuman sa penguin yang angst na yan. i-kwento mo na lang in person ang mga taong ito that you're not associated with anymore. as you know, i went through something similar a few years back. and it's okay. people change. it kinda hurts, but what can you do? at least now you know them for who they really are, and you have real friends (like us!) still hanging around to cheer you on.

    about the badly drawn boy song, well, i texted you all about it already. now you know! it's a nice but funny feeling to be smitten sometimes, cos at the back of your head you still know there's a huge chance it's all gonna be shot to hell. but i'll savor the feeling while i can. ;)

  • Ay true. Natatawa na nga ako minsan kay Madame kapag sinasabi niyang malakas ang tolerance niya kapag tinotopak ako. Ewan ko ba, I can be testy at times talaga. Ewan ko ba. I can be annoying and charming pa naman di ba? :)
