Song Lyrics: The Pierces - Sticks & Stones

Hey, domino

I am keeping you from falling

1, 2, 3 - Don't you dare go down

Hey, waterfall

Oh, can you hear me calling?

3, 2, 1 - Don't you dare touch the ground

[Bridge]:

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

[Chorus]:

Sticks and stones will break you bones

And leave you lying in the mud

But you get scared when we're alone

Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell

But it just might blow your top

And you start to run just as I'm having fun

And it's awfully hard to stop

[It's awfully hard to stop]

Sun in the sky

I am stopping you from burning

All we need is stars and moon

Clock on the wall

I will keep your hands from turning

Or this night will end too soon

[Repeat bridge & chorus]

It's just too hard to stop

I call thee, beloved one

To love me more than anyone

Seven times I pierce my heart

And now you feel the magic start

Bind thy heart and soul to me

As I do will

So let it be

Oh

Hey, loverboy

Oh, now do you believe me?

That's not all that I can do

Sit back down

I'm afraid we won't be leaving

Can't undo my spell on you

[Repeat bridge x2]

(I'm the one you want)

[Repeat chorus x2]

It's just too hard to stop

I don't think I can stop

lovelies&darlings~

i'm quite nearing my end of course for college/TAFE.

and completely behind :\ which is never good.

it would definitely help if I had my own A3 printer,

but they're awfully expensive, and much too large.

i'd love to be able to have more time off

but i'm afraid my parents will not allow this

thus i am to continue study, or better yet

find a proper job i may call my career

under Graphic Designer.

this only worries me as all this "study"

has gotten me entirely exhausted and rather

bored and twitchy, and other assorted things.

it would be nice to get away from it all.

i can only hope though … and perhaps pray.

wish me luck!

i'll be needing it dearly.

Song Lyrics: Bat For Lashes - Daniel

Daniel, when I first saw you

I knew that you had a flame in your heart

And under our blue skies

Marble movie skies

I found a home in your eyes

We'll never be apart

And when the fires came

The smell of cinders and rain

Perfumed almost everything

We laughed and laughed and laughed

And in the golden blue

Crying took me to the darkest place

And you have set fire to my heart

[Chorus]:

When I run in the dark, Daniel

To a place that's vast, Daniel

Under a sheet of rain in my heart

Daniel, I dream of home

But in a good-bye bed

With my arms around your neck

Into our love the tears crept

Just catch in the eye of the storm

And as my heart ran round

My dreams pulled me from the ground

Forever to search for the flame

For home again, for home again

[Repeat chorus]

lovelies~~

My first week of college/TAFE break is almost over.

Just one more week left of it, and no .. I have not done anything yet.

Been house-sitting and looking after my brother, although old enough, does still need some looking after because he lacks etiquette.

Hmm.

Much more lethargic; sleeping in till almost 5p.m.

In a way it's good I'm catching up on my sleep, bad because I wake up feeling more tired than

usual, which is never a good sign.

I suppose I'll live long, unless I really pick up smoking.

But I've been an odd smoker since the beginning and haven't picked up a cigerette in almost about 6 months, and honestly, I can not smoke for the rest of my life but I choose to do it. :)

Like I said

, odd.

Been anticipating to watch all these new movies, that won't come out here in Aus till very late.

It's quite a shame, because I'll most likely DL all of them :S

Never a fan of the big screen .. strecthed images isn't my thing, sorry.

Just hope they

come out with more interesting movies however, as the films out as of late aren't appealing to me, or maybe I'm particularly picky these days.

Hmm.

Some good news.

Finally found some nice music in the form of Bat For Lashes and Lily Allen.

I'm quite excited with the former, being something new to my ears or at least, familiar in that it's sound I haven't heard in some time and fond of; something Björk-like.

She's is awesome, and Bat For Lashes is original herself but you definitely feel Björk's influence over her melodies and sounds and vocals.

Makes me a happy-chappy :)

But something that makes me happy+sad is Shiny Toy Guns'

Ghost Town music video clip.

The song its

elf is pretty epic and funky, but FAROUT the clip is just awful!

I was considering committing some crimes watching it .. because it was such a waste of a song!!

... I only hope STG make up for this.

*fingers crossed + much praying*

Moving along!

Haven't been writing much, or posting many nice pictures on deviantART.

All that's been up so far are haikus :\ and they're not that great.

... lots of neg

ativity towards my own works, huh.

ANYWAY.

I'm over it, and just want to get my head into a workin g-mode that it never gets into so that I may you know, somehow finish my unfinished projects for TAFE/college.

.. so help me.

------

FAMILY

------

That's right.

Family came down/up from Melb to do the traditional Chines

e cleaning-up tombstones.

Afterwards, some fun ensues & much catching up or at least, a little more chit-chatting than before and got to snap up some pics :)

Song Lyrics: Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do?

We walked arm in arm

But I didn't feel his touch

A desire I'd first tried to hide

That tingling inside was gone

And when he asked me

'Do you still love me?'

I had to look away

I didn't want to tell him

That my heart grows colder with each day

[Chorus]:

When you love so long

That the thrill is gone

And your kisses at night

Are replaced with tears

And when your dreams are on

A train to train wreck town

Then I ask you now

What's a girl to do?

He said he'd take me away

That we'd work things out

I didn't want to tell him

But it was then I had to say

Over the times we've shared

It's all blackened out

And my bat lightning heart

Wants to fly away

[Repeat chorus]

What's a girl to do?

(Hah-haaah)

What's a girl to do?

(Hah-haaah)

What's a girl to do?

(Hah-haaah)

Video & Song Lyrics: Priscilla Anh - Willow (Weeping)

I fell in love with boy in bloom

I don't know why

But I felt like I could fly when he was near

If he only knew

I fell in love with hands on you

Slender sincere

How shy I disappear

Oh, he is dear

If he only knew

Will he see what's becoming of me

I'm a pedal

Will he please come and tend to me

I'm a willow, weeping, willow (0h, oh, oh)

Do you think that I am pretty

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't

Look at me

Tell me honestly (ee)

Will he see what's becoming of me

I'm a pedal

Will he please come and tend to me

I'm a willow, weeping, willow (0oh)

(Aaah, aaaaah, haahaaaaa)

Will he see what's becoming of me

I'm a pedal

Will he please come and tend to me

I'm a willow, weeping, willow (oh, oh, oh)

Please note, just listening and writing what I think are the lyrics.

So it's either pedal or petal, I'm not too sure.

Song Lyrics: Shiny Toy Guns - Stripped

Come with me

Into the trees

We'll lay on the grass

And let the hours pass

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Let's get away

Just for one day

[Chorus]:

Let me see you stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you speaking just for me

Let me see you stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you crying just for me

Let me hear you make, decisions

Without your television

Let me hear you speaking just for me

[Ooh, Hooo]

Metropolis

Has nothing on this

You're breathing in fumes

I taste when we kiss

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Where everything's ours

For a few hours

[Ooh, Hooo .. Hoo]

[Repeat chorus]

 Let me hear you crying just for me

Let me hear you speaking just for me

Let me hear you crying just for me

Let my hear you speaking just for me

Let me hear you crying just for me

----------

lovelies~

Guess my year didn't start off with much of a bang.

I'm currently healing from bruises to my arms, legs and head.

Though the legs are feeling normal, my head still feels slightly sore and my arms are still recovering, but then again, I got extra sores because of that injection my generation gets for free to prevent me from getting cervical cancer, I believe.

As for the reason my body is sore in the first place is another thing, and mostly due to me prefering to shower later and my dad making a bigger deal out of it, as per usual.

Mind you, I was trying to wash the plates as he pretty much, puched me all over like a punching bag of sorts, thus me trying to move away and stuff, leaving the water running costing him money :) life is a little grand that way, but just.

A few little things happened while I was away:

• Relatives from Melbourne, who hadn't visited since back in 1990-something, came to stay at my place for a week. The 2 older boys are near my age so yes, we get along well. Got royally annoyed to the shits by the youngest one though (3 boys in total).
• Had New Years celebrationing in the form of a family get-together @ my Grandma's. Took some shots then.
• Day after that, again, celebrated the new years at my Uncle's, who daughters - my cousins, one older than me and one younger - had the whole Guitar Hero set; which we played constantly until;
• my relatives from Melbourne (mentioned earlier) came by too.
• Also received my 2nd shot of that injection preventing me from cancer - my 3rd and final shot should take place some time in May.
• Paid for my school fees, but something went wrong so gotta sort that out tomorrow, fuck.
• Buying more books/design mags/receipe books to read & enjoy;
• Finally bought myself some closed-toe-wedged high heels, and they're like a metallic brown copper colour which looks of awesomeness :)
• Got myself pursuaded to join this wilderness society club donation thing, so now I'm getting $20 less every month which, my mum is super pissed about :D

And that, pretty much sums up what's been happening with me whilst I was away.

No, I haven't enjoyed myself much this start of the new year.

And not to mention, we're going to see a lot of Black Fridays.

&& if you're a believer, just because, we have about 3 years left before the world ends.

So, I'm REALLY NOT KEEN to keep continuing studies after I finish my final half of my course. 

Though, if the world doesn't end by 2012, I suppose I'll do a follow-up course of a 3rd year to get myself an Advanced Diploma, or maybe, try my luck at applying for a University course instead and wish me luck that I don't have to do more than 2 years.

FINGERS CROSSED!

... if I could find a site to upload a sound clip of my sighing by the time it gets to this line, that would be pretty cool, kthnxbye.

=============================================

Song Lyrics: Finger Eleven - First Time

I have never thought

We were hanging on

But the fall looks very far

Staring at the ground

What flesh will do to you

Will do to me too

Be free and on your own

It's not that simple

It's not that simple

It's never that simple

[Chorus]:

It feels like the first time

That we've fallen behind

And we faltered too far down

No one can save us

It feels like the first time

And we're standing above them

And no one can touch us

The worst is over

The worst is over

I could say to you

A bitter word or two

There's no stopping now

Just get it out in the air

Heard it through the fog

And hurt by it all

I'd take it back today

But it's out of my hands

It's out of my hands

But it's out of my hands

[Repeat chorus]

Lost in the flim again

All the signs were showing

Watching a single frame

When the wind begins

You're never anywhere

'Cause you're caught in my weather

Caught in my weather, every time

Feels like the first time

We've fallen behind

No use is the other one to wait

But I can hold on

As sure as I'm strong

Get over the faithful yesterday

Yeah, day, yeah

[Repeat chorus x2]

The worst is over [x2]

=============================================

you should have aborted me.

i.

Last night

as I looked myself over

in the mirror

with my black eye makeup

running black tendrils down my cheeks

I was a classic case of

disaster and absolute disgrace.

ii.

In one moments thoughts

there I was, digging into my flesh trying

to cut out a poison

born in blood

but another thought enters

about my pre-cut nails, didn't seem

adequate to pierce through skin

-- finally a rational idea

if I may say so myself.

iii.

Tips of blades

frighten the cores of me

thus, that plan has backfired

before it began.

iv.

It is quite an amusing thing how

easily the heart and soul are crushed

and the mind so readily tricked to

falling into a state of darkness that

as quickly switched on as it is off, such like

the humble light bulb who can produce

brightness into a room while just as simply

banishing it's source and welcoming

overwhelming false night.

v.

I haven't felt very human in

a long while and

I'm quite daring to test

whats ever left of

my humanity--

perhaps I'll see you in Hell, daddy dearest.

vi.

Not that I'd enjoy your

very presence though

-- sorry for the wake up call.

vii.

But someone had to do it, its

what I'm made for, for

being the very thing

-- your catalyst of

disaster and absolute disgrace.

viii.

I'm no future of yours

I'm no saviour of yours

I am flesh of 

another with genetics of you

I am flawed remnants of you and

by your God, I wish to

rid of you.

ix.

Though, as you say

not so lightly

"I'm stupid", "puta"

"A piece of shit" and other

vulgar terminologies.

x.

Don't be too surprised when I

snap and beat you when you

are weak and a defenceless

sorry excuse of a being

like you have made me.

Song Lyrics: Ladyhawke - My Delirium

Late night, waiting by the phone

Tonight waiting for an answer

Heartbeat drumming double time

I need one more chance to be near you

[Bridge]:

Still hanging on (for what)

Can't operate (fired up)

I won't eat eat and I sleep for you yeah

Not rest till I (get through)

'Coz I'm holding out (for you)

Am I the only one who's insane

[Chorus]:

Hey, you're playing with my delirium

And the longer I wait the harder I'm gonna fall

Stop playing with my delirium

'Coz I'm outta my head and outta my self control

Still here in this quiet room

Deep in delusion sending my over

Outside watch the world go by

Inside time stands still as I wonder

[Repeat bridge & chorus]

(I won't eat eat and I sleep for you, yeah)
