I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
Well all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perpective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be OK.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Actually, I'm just killing time in the computer room. I've finished my program! Ya! But who needs a fucking program to tell them if they've got an equilateral, isoceles or scalene triangle anyway? No one. No one is so lazy as to measure three sides of an angle, and then not engage the brain circuits which say "Are two or three of these numbers the same, or not?" So, I've essentially wasted several hours of my life that I could have given to the poor children. And I've got a 68000 program due in on Tuesday. The 68000 CPU? Who the fuck uses that anymore? I mean, I loved the Amiga, but the processor is from the MID EIGHTIES! That's gonna help me in the fast paced world of computers "Look! I've programmed Defender of the Crown! And WordWorth! Give me a job! Or I start eating furniture!". Why did Motorola even invent it? "Hey, I've got a great new idea for a mobile! Listen, instead of being like a normal mobile, this one sits inside a computer. And it doesn't make telephone calls either. It's a complex binary unit running at a staggering 7 (yes, SEVEN!) megahertz!" "So, it's actually a CPU, and not a mobile at all? Brilliant! Let's make loads."
And I really should go home too. I didn't get home last night until 3:30, I stayed up and had a chicken cupa soup with mates for half an hour, and then I had to get up at 7:30 for breakfast. Which wasn't even on, cause there's a stupid guest night for old farts tonight. Grrr.
But it's absolutley pissing down. As it has been for about...oooh. 3 weeks now. At least the flood warnings have gone. Now we've only got the petrol crisis to worry about. And I can't get any money out until Saturday due to stupid gay cheques being slow. I've got �1 to last me until then. One whole flipping pound. What can I but for a pound? A bottle of cheap larger? Some cheap porn? 3 and a half bags of crisps? Friday's sure gonna be fun.
*NOTE* You can start reading again. I'm sure someone's posted something fun for you to you read. Have a look. And then post something banal after it. Go on.

Okay, I'm not going to post the whole song. But I couldn't let Liam be wrong, could I? Okay, so the chances are slim that he was referring to "It's My Life" by the Animals, since it's a fairly oft-used title. But, whatever...

O.K. Ya see t'was 1983 when we first walked arm in arm
Across the sea it was my destiny that I'd find her in Hong Kong
There it was a soldier falls in love as we walked through Lan Kwai Fong
Limousines and new wave beauty queens and a romance just begun
Ya Tsunami was her name like a title wave she came
And now I'll never be free
I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy Tsu-tsu-tsunami
Just when you think the worst has past she rises up to destroy me,
Just when you think it's safe to sail again
Ya she rises up and then
I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami
Now some more t'was 1984 tour of duty's almost over
Begged that girl to join me in my world but no man could control her
Out of the south China Sea Tsunami rolled over me
And now I'll never be free
(chorus)
I told you 'bout Europa and me
And how she haunted every memory
Went round the world just to forget that song
To sing a new one for a girl from Hong Kong
And like a killer title wave she washed my heart away
And now I'll never be free
I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami
So long ago so far away she still rises up to destroy me
Although she's half a world away It feels like yesterday
I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami

"What he did to that walrus gentle-man was inexcusable."
-T. Herman Zweibel on "Mr. Woodrow Wood-pecker", The Onion, 7-Nov-2000
I have run, I have crawled,
I have scaled, these city walls.
These City Walls,
Only to be with you.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I have kissed honey lips,
Felt the healing in her fingertips.
It burned like fire,
This burning desire.
I have spoke with the tongue of angels,
I have held the hand of the devil.
It was warm in the night,
I was cold as a stone.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I believe in the Kingdom Come,
And all the colours will bleed into one.
Bleed into one,
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds and loosed the chains,
Carried the cross, and my shame.
And my shame,
You know I believe it.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, oh
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt
Oh ...
Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
I've got no right to take my place
In the Human race
Oh, bigmouth, ha ha ... bigmouth, la
Bigmouth strikes again
I've got no right to take my place
In the Human race
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, oh
As the flames rose to a roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt
Eek !
Oh, bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race
Oh ...
Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...
Bigmouth strikes again
