I wish you that all your dreams come true and you will achieve everything you set your mind to. It’s possible, I prove it, I met Elvis.

JFK: “tired of getting up every morning”

admin — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:48:38 +0000

… to quote the ‘official site of the presidential medal of freedom‘. in full: theodore sorensen, special counsel of the 35th president of the united states, john f. kennedy, said he “was tired of getting up every morning and reading what Khrushchev and Castro were doing; instead, he wanted to read what the President of the U.S. was doing”. kennedy replied: “That’s so, and I’ve been hearing some criticism about it. People are saying that they are tired of getting up every morning and reading what Kennedy is doing. They want to read what Khrushchev and Castro are doing.” either way, we learn: independent of what you are tired of, you are getting up every morning.

Be able to use both arms

admin — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 00:54:41 +0000

these lyrics aren’t mine
they are taken from a security leaflet
in an air plane for those seated
next to the emergency exit on the wings

be able to use both hands
both arms and both legs
as well as maintain balance
and be strong and flexible enough
to operate the exit and
any escape slide mechanism
and be with no one who requires special care

Other than a friend and a lover

admin — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 00:45:08 +0000

(he tried to explain but either i didn’t get it or i didn’t listen. he who can talk.)

tell me why i need a partner
what’s a partner other than a friend and a lover
is the other just the promise that you make
to your partner
the promise you won’t keep
another promise you won’t keep
another promise you won’t keep
another promise you won’t keep
another promise you won’t keep
you won’t keep

Yes, my life has been

admin — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 00:58:10 +0000

(sorry for the long silence. i had a heavy bronchitis - and you can still hear it. i try to cluster it away with too many guitars. that’s feverish dreams for you…)

yes, my life has been easy
to easy at times
when it wasn’t mine
if that’s what you mean
yes, my life has been heavy
dark and drowning
when it was mine alone
if that’s what you mean
but i’m glad to see that now
i’m glad to stand a chance now

Dowanload ‘Yes, my life has been’

They need brave men

admin — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 23:47:12 +0000

(don’t listen to what your friends say. go and see transformers. do it for me.)

they have come to protect us
so that some won’t destroy us
they need brave men
i’ll be brave then
they come in fantastic colours
look much cooler than the others
we adore them
we implore them
they’re fast and they’re bright
change their shape as they fall
they’re angry and proud
they feel nothing at all
i try to stay out of their reach as they fight
their power’s so huge that they block out the light
and once the fight has ended
they will stay on our planet
live amongst us
and protect us

Pressing buttons only

admin — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 23:35:54 +0000

i wonder i wonder i wonder
if we’d achieve the same
one day
i wonder i wonder i wonder
if we’d achieve the same
by pressing buttons only
if we’d achieve the same
by pressing buttons only

For help

admin — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 00:09:16 +0000

(it did make me angry. it would have made you angry, too.)

i know that you are offline
and i really don’t mind
to help
you know i would not decline
to call if i had the time
to help
but if you’re so pressed with time
why don’t you call their hotline
for help
the reason i want to call
was not to help you at all
i want to hear if you’re fine
and only then i don’t mind
to help
and get you online

Just a part of you

admin — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 00:28:37 +0000

i’m not your partner
i’m not the other
i’m just a part of you
i need no distance
to be your lover
i’m just a part of you
i hope you can see that
i hope you can feel that
i hope we can be that

Something is happening

admin — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 00:56:56 +0000

(yes, i do mean ‘come’ in all possible interpretations. so what.)

something is happening
i come by myself
something is happening
i come with myself
something is happening
i come to myself
