A cup of cryptic, anyone? No?

day in out all the way you wont see
all the way frozen in time time was frozed
electric felt cold razor sharp edge dont run it
against your veins you might feel it dig in
too little deep hurt you will it wont last
not now no kilowatts run straight across your head
bleed it will out it goes ulcer its like
trapped in sideways you will see only once more
until more ends even so then veins will bleed
even more then never ever heal much of this
of what brings rounds of happinessend it will

Patterns, always have, always will be. The result is:

Radiohead - The Rip (Portishead Cover)

I lied when I said I was going to sleep on it. Ended up I couldn't sleep till late, which resulted in me romancing away with my laptop. I found this really cool Radiohead clip. They covered a song called The Rip which was done by Portishead. Melancholy was filling up the room, definitely. Check it out
here:

Radiohead - The Rip (Portishead Cover)

Here's the lyrics to this beautiful song:

As she walks in the room
centred and torn
hesitating once more
as I take on myself
and the bitterness I felt
I realise that love lost
While white horses
they will take me away
and the tenderness I feel
will send the dog home to me
will I follow ?

Through the glory of life
I will scatter them on the floor
disappointed and soar
in my thoughts I have bled
from the riddles I've been fed
another light moves over
While white horses
they will take me away
and the tenderness I feel
will send the dog home to me
will I follow ?

Lunch time :)

Describing Radiohead Live

How can one actually use words to do it? Well if I had to, the word 'Awsomeness', just like Barney would say it really comes to mind. For those who have no idea what I'm yapping about, I was in Westerpark, Amsterdam on July 1st to watch Radiohead perform live. People keep on asking me, was it worth it? Every single penny sir.

My whole Euro trip was awesome as well. Still waiting for Fairol to come back with 'em pictures. You see, my camera got cocked up on the 2nd day of the trip. Don't worry, the photos will come! Well, selected ones anyway *GRIN* (like Yeh said, whatever happens in Amsterdam, stays in Amsterdam).
After the whole trip, I made a discovery when I came back. I fell in love with Stereophonics's Language, Sex, Violence, Other? album. Their first song which introduced the band to me was their cover of 'Handbags & Gladrags', which was done brilliantly. It's funny how I never took notice of them before. Here's the lyrics to the song:

STEREOPHONICS - HANDBAGS & GLADRAGS
-------

Ever seen a blind man cross the road?
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old?
trying to make herself a bride

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you off
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
well You are still a young girl
And you've bourne everything in style

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie

They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy

so you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

------

and indeed folks, what does happen when we're stripped off all our handbags and gladrags?
I'm gonna sleep on it. G.N
