Bow in the presence of greatness
Cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness

If you made plans or not

If God put me in your plans or not
I’m trippin’, this drink got me sayin’ alot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me
There’s a thousand yous
And only one of me
I’m trippin’, I’m caught up in the moment right?
‘Cause it’s Louis Vuitton Don night
So we goin’ do everything that Kan like
Heard they’d do anything for a Klondike
Well I’d do anything for a blonde dyke
And she’ll do anything for the limelight
And we’ll do anything when the time’s right
Uh, baby you’re makin’ it

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

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

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
I never seem to get a lot ba ba da da, ba ba da da

For the benefit of the people whom don’t read my MySpace blog…

What a fantastic weekend it’s been!
Friday night I went out with Mil & Jay and watched Never release their new EP. They were supported by The Kidney Thieves and boy did TKT have everyone going off! Man, I *loved* their music the best of the whole night! The lead singer is channelling Mike Patton and the music was reminiscent of his Mr Bungle days. Good thing I love Mr Bungle. Next time they play, I’m gonna go and buy a CD and maybe a Tshirt. IIRC they are playing again at Club Phoenix on June 22nd. The last day their drummer is going to be around, due to family commitments. I hope they get another good drummer soon! (Maybe they already have). I actually liked TKT better than Never. Got home just after 1am yesterday morning.

I got up at 6:40am to go pick up Sienna. The ferry is out this weekend so I had to go the long way around, hence the earlier than usual rise. We got to swimming lessons with plenty of time and Sienna had a ball as usual. She really can float on her own for quite a long time and is very proud, however the first time she did it they gave her a ribbon and now she’s upset she didn’t get another one. At lunch time we drove to Annerley and went to a school fete. One of the young goths from the Brisbane Goth Forums had a fete at her school and wanted other goths to come along so we went. Sienna went on the jumbo slide on her own and came a cropper with a bruise on her arm and chin and leg. We had to then go find an ATM so we could buy her an arm band which let her go on as many rides as she wanted. On the way back we followed some gothy looking people into the school yard. Sienna went on a big fast spinning swing ride and was very excited, then we needed something to eat. She grabbed some ‘cotton candy’ (she won’t say fairy floss) and we saw the goths again so I wandered over to say ‘Hi’. We had a bit of a chat and got directions to the food stalls and headed off. They also had a licensed bar there, but I didn’t buy any booze (WHAT??? Yeah - I know!). I had a couple of souvalaki shish kebabs and Sienna had some chips with tomato sauce on them. We went back to the jumbo slide and I held onto Sienna and went down a couple of times, then it was time to go home. We said goodbye to the goths and grabbed a teddy bear which Sienna was dying to have, on the way out.

Today I’m going to the Botanical Gardens in the city to meet up with some new friends from the Brisbane Goth Forums. I’ll have to go shopping first as I have to get some groceries and we have to take something to eat with us. I’m thinking of making a dip with bread from a recipe I got years ago when I was working at the University of Sydney. It’s really yum, consisting of sour cream, spinach & French Onion mix. Mix it all up and buy a big round cobb loaf thing, scoop it out and put the dip in the middle. Yum! I’m tempted to go check out another band tonight but will see how tired I am. Last night I didn’t get to sleep until after 1am and was woken a few times, finally getting up at 7:30am.

Okay, a couple of things I’ve discovered recently which may help out other people seeking answers.

First off, I use my Sony/Ericsson K800i mobile phone to record movies. These come out in 3GP format which is compatible with Apple QuickTime and so will play fine on your computer, but what if you want to play them on another device… say Pocket PC (or possibly even Palm)?

Here’s your answer: TCMP (The Core Media Player). It handles 3GP files very nicely. The link on the left here gets you the beta version which I believe does not expire. The newer version is Commercial and you will have to pay for it. I expect you can find a beta version for the PalmOS as well. I load it up with stuff I’ve filmed and let my 3yo Sienna loose with it and she can sit there watching everything for ages. I wouldn’t suggest recording her favourite TV shows on there (only 16Mb per 22mins) as that might not be legal.

The next tip is for Windows XP and iTunes with your keyboard’s Media Keys.  I want to use the Play/Stop/Skip >/< Skip / Pause buttons on my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro but the media keys only want to work with Windows Media Player.  Well, Andy comes to the rescue with ITunesKeys. I’ve just downloaded it and tested it on my PC and it works flawlessly.  I’ve just set up a shortcut in my StartUp folder to kick it off whenever my PC starts Windows. Handy stuff!

The cool guys in The Tenth Stage have finally released the video clip to go with their great song “Francois Martin“.. go check it out!!!

When I went to see Tycho live on Wednesday, 14th March I filmed a couple of minutes of Tycho Brahe on my K800i mobile phone. The resolution is small and if you don’t center the video it will look grainy. The place wasn’t well-lit enough for video, but you can get the idea anyway…

Had a great night out at The Troubadour in the Valley. I got there about 9:30pm and went in. I was ‘on the door’ so got in free as a guest of one of the bands..

We saw “Tycho Brahe” and after that “Crystalline Effect”. Tycho are a Brisbane band and CE are from Sydney. They flew up just for this gig, so that was way cool. I’ve added them on my MySpace friends list.

I swear Ken is singing “Jam in a circle” and not “Ten minutes ago”. I put a note to that effect on his MySpace comments heheh. With a photo!

TB sang a couple of songs I haven’t heard from them before. I have some which I sync to my iPod in the mornings (among all the other bands) so it was nice hearing some new stuff. I was hoping for the George Bush song “Military Option”. I like that one. Well, to tell the truth I like a lot of their songs, even ones about Jam or Tempura Circles.

The show finished up around Midnight so we all headed off home. I got home about 12:40am and into bed by 12:47am. Whew! Woke at 6:30am when the builders next door started unloading equipment off their trucks.

I’ve got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I’m emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I’m missing
And why can’t I let it go

CHORUS:
There’s gotta be more to life…
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I’m…
Trippin’ out thinkin’ there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure… There’s gotta be more

(Than wanting more)

I’ve got the time and I’m wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I’m half-way out the door
Onto the next thing, I’m searching for something that’s missing

CHORUS

I’m wanting more

I’m always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin’ like there’s something I missed….
Always… Always…

CHORUS - repeat twice

More to life
There’s gotta be more to life (more to life)
There’s gotta be more to life (more)
More to my life

The long awaited rains
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
And carved their way to where
The wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rains
I have been carried here to where the river flows yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
As I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back
Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice
Thats telling me its time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

I’m diving in I’m going deep in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush lost in the flow in over my head I want to go
The rivers deep the rivers wide the rivers water is alive
So sink or swim I’m diving in

There is a supernatural power
In this mighty rivers flow
It can bring the dead to life
And it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing
Worth living and worth dying for yeah
But we will never know the awesome power
Of the grace of god
Until we let ourselves get swept away
Into this holy flood
So if you’ll take my hand
Well close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on lets go

A new song I just downloaded from iTunes .. by Nickelback. It’s only been released in Australia so far (according to Wikipedia) and should be out for everyone else by the end of the year. Did they get religion? If so, good on them!!

NICKELBACK LYRICS

“If Everyone Cared”

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died

And I’m singing

Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
(I’m alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died
When nobody died…

[Chorus]

We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died

“Round Round” - by Sugababes

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round, baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
(Free free free free)

When your still in my face
You’re messing with my brain
If you’re trying to resist me
Then you better think again
If you move to my music
The music’s got to give
If I’m too complicated
That’s the way I want to live

If you hate me
I will show you
How to brain me
Into something new
If you want me
Run away now
If you stop me
Then I’ll hit the ground
(Can we go, here we go)

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go

Explainations - no you don’t need one
Having a good time
Getting down to the fun
And it’s your time
Just tonight he’ll be mine
And he’s gone
Yeah

People moving, bodies grooving
Never ending
Place is moving
(Don’t you worry ’bout a thing all you need is off your sting)
All my girls are here with me
Worry now they’ve got their need
(Do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me)
Woo

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody but my honeys
When I go

Ooh
Does it hurt, when you see
How I’ve done
Without you
Thought that I could belong
Never thought that you could be so cruel
All you need is some friends
Won’t be by yourself
Let’s go round and round and round and round and r-o-u-nd

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me

Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody but my honeys
When I go

“Who knew” - Pink

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you’d be around
Uh huh
That’s right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That’s right

If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I’d give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
‘fore they’re long gone
I guess I just didn’t know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I’ll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won’t forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong and
That last kiss
I’ll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
