Rihanna - Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z)

Album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007)

[Intro: Jay-Z]
(Uh huh, uh huh) Ch-Yeah
(Uh huh, uh huh) Rihanna
Good girl gone bad
(Uh huh, uh huh) Take three… Action!
(Uh huh, uh huh) Hov!

[Jay-Z (Rihanna)]
No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane into fame (Eh, eh, eh)
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone
We roc-a-fella (Eh, eh, eh)
We fly higher than weather and G5’s are better
You know me, an anticipation for precipitation
Stacks chips for the rainy day (Eh, eh, eh)

Jayy
Rain man is back with little miss sunshine
Rihanna where you at?

[Verse 1:]
You had my heart
We’ll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines but you’ll still be my star
Baby ’cause in the dark you can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share because

[chorus:]
When the sun shine we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’mma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more then ever know that we’ll still have eachother
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

[Verse 2:]
These fancy things will never come in between
You’re apart of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took his part
When the world has delt it’s card
If the hand is hard together we’ll mend your heart because

[chorus:]
When the sun shine we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’mma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more then ever know that we’ll still have eachother
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

[bridge:]
You can run into my arms
It’s okay, don’t be alarmed
Come into me
There’s no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more because

[chorus:]
When the sun shine we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’mma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more then ever know that we’ll still have eachother
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

[Outro:]
It’s raining (raining)
Oh baby it’s raining (raining)
Baby come into me
Come into me
It’s raining (raining)
Oh baby it’s raining (raining)
You can always come into me

[only in album version:]
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I’m a little bit shy
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I’ve gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don’t you like me
Why don’t you like me
Why don’t you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I’ve gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you like me?
Walk out the door!

Yay! It’s Cheerios time again.

There’s been a fight over affordability. Just Right has been on sale for a while and cheaper than Cheerios but this time the Cheerios were worth it. I don’t remember if they were a bit dearer since JR got off Sale but I really really wanted them ;) heh.

Might check out a couple of homes today.  Looked at one yesterday but it was musty and smelly.. especially the old carpet. I think the previous tenants may have had a dog and it stunk up the place.  The house wasn’t all the special anyway. A pissy little AC unit in the main bedroom and the rest of it looked old. It really needs a renovate.

There’s a really nice looking one in Indooroopilly available for inspection today at 11:30am so I’m gonna go. If it looks as nice as the photos I’m gonna put in an application straight away.  Pray to whichever deity for me? :)

Batty. If you are reading this, the Atom feed should be fixed now. All the permalinks (aka mod-redirects) were broken for some reason and I reset them in WordPress.   None of the links on the main page worked at all either.

It looks like I found a way to clean up the Orange Juice and chocolate stains in the carpet: Vinegar! What a multipurpose liquid.  You can pour gallons on your fish and chips and let them float in it only to soak it all up, filled with chip and fish fat, into bread and eat it before the bread breaks up and falls on the floor… or you can use it to clean up stains in the carpet.  I’m sure it has other uses, but that’s all from me ;)

While Googling (is that capital G?) around for OJ stain cures I found this: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-remove-fruit-juice-from-your-carpet

VideoJug seems to have quite a few handy tips in video form. Sweet! It’s like YouTube but with handy hints instead of porn and idiots killing themselves :)

Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

It’s been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma i fell in love again
It’s safe to say i have a new girlfriend

And i know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And i’m afraid i might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin’

I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And alka seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain’t love then i don’t know what love is

We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know i’m young but if i had to choose her or the sun
I’d be one nocturnal son of a gun

ba ba da da, ba ba da da

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

It’s been awhile since we talked last and i’m tryin’ hard not to talk fast
But dad i’m finally thinkin’ i may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son

And i know you heard the last song about the girls that didn’t last long
But i promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name ba ba da da

I love the way she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain’t love then i don’t know what love is ba ba da da

It’s gonna be a long drive home but i know as soon as i arrive home
And i open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She’ll be back in my arms into my arms once more for sure

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

She’s got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I’m not done
She’s got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn’t stop there
Man i swear
She’s got porcelain skin of course she’s a ten
And now she’s even got her own song
But movin’ on
She’s got the cutest laugh i ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin’ one word
And i would still cherish every moment
And when i start to build my future she’s the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere i go i keep her picture in my wallet like you

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one i got ba ba da da
Not much of a girlfriend

Yesterday we went to check out some places.. went to a few Real Estate agencies and it became apparent that my rent value will be the same (or MORE) wherever I go… so I figure if I’m going to be paying city-rate rent I may as well have the convenience of it.

I went to one place (not that great looking, but cheap — obvious why!)  and about 30 people turned up to see it! It’s not far from the city and walking distance from a big shopping centre (Indooropilly) and train station.  No wonder so many people turned up.

So, I’ve decided to bite the bullet and find a really really nice place with some extra conveniences closer to the city than where I am.   I’ve found a few (about a half dozen with a quick look) that are around $300pw and have Air Conditioning, Dishwasher and nice views of the city, etc.  Today Sienna and I checked them all out from the outside. I forgot to take my Refidex, so it’s damn lucky the website pages I printed had little maps on them or we would have been stuck. I didn’t realise I had no map book until we got near the first place and it’s about 30 mins drive from where I currently live! Ack!

We looked at about a half dozen places and from the outside and the descriptions they look like possible winners. I rang all the agencies on the off chance that one is open today, but no such luck. Tomorrow morning I’ll ring them all at 8:30am (the time most said they are open) and start arranging inspections.

I will also pick up a lot of boxes and start putting stuff in them now. Even though I won’t be moving out for about 4-5 weeks, I figure it’s best to get stuff started now while I have the time rather than killing myself in the last week or few days trying to get it sorted out.  I’ll move most of the furniture and stuff into the garage and leave the car outside. That’ll let me get the carpetted rooms empty and I’ll hire someone to give them a damn good cleaning.  Hopefully they can get out chocolate and orange juice :-/ Next place, the first thing I’m buying is a giant cheap rug to stick in the lounge. You can’t stop them from eating in there no matter how hard you try.  Kids will be kids.  I also have to clean the pen off the bathroom door on my ensuite.  about 50% of it is rubbed off so far.

*Sigh* I had been planning this for over a week now, but it’s gone sad to say. :(

My rent is going up (yet again! it just went up in March ffs!) so I’m spending my Annual Leave week off looking for a new place to live.

Oh well, at least I can find somewhere with ADSL2 and stop whinging about broadband (or the lack thereof) on here.

Hopefully I’ll find a cheaper place closer to the city.  Here’s hoping…

*Fingers crossed*
