My hero Mr E supporting an impressive beard!
Belle and Sebastian – Dirty Dream Number two, from the album ‘The Boy With The Arab Strap’
Skin – Skunk Anansie – It Takes Blood and Guts – Paranoid and Sunburnt
Leave your head in the cloakroom, and leave your heart at the door
This just came on my shuffle and led to reminiscing – also a reminder of what a great song this is… so turn in up loud and enjoy
Lose yourself for a few minutes on a Thursday…
Benjamin Francis Leftwich is my date for this evening…Yes I’m excited
Having become convinced Tina Turner could well be the answer to world peace, and that Florence Welch and I will make a fantastic lovers I am not sure there is anything more beautiful in the world that this. The lyrical genius of Tina along with the dulcet tones of Florence….ah heaven
King Charles reworked version of Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire‘ genius…
Kate Moss, 50 Cent, Obama is the president
Peace is scarce, no one dares,litvinenko
climate change, live aid, katemine, new rave, loose morals, hearts are hollow,
indie on the radio
down with self esteem, another beauty magazine,
Bridgeport, suicide, Facebook the face dies,
hedge funds, boys with guns, manic state mania,
immigration stole the nation, Mother Russia, Abu Hamza
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it
Putin has a breeding camp, but Mugabe stamps his people out,
the gallows take Saddam Hussein, the closing of Guantanamo Bay,
Tracy Emin and Doherty, Have we found a new disease?
David Beckham, Posh Beckham, earthquake, and vanity,
the Rolling Stones still play, we all know Tom Cruise is gay,
lime light celebrities, the season lost integrity,
Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman, Madeline is still missing, 20 virgins up in heaven,
what’s the cause of 9/11?
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it
sensitive Islamist, satire struggles to exist,
cartoons, teddy bears could start a holy war,
X factor, Glastonbury, Laura Marling, ecstasy, Prince Charles and Camilla,
the media is a bloodsucker,
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, they owned Koreas before the crown, I’m still loyal to the Queen, and she’s still loyal to you and me
Credit Crunch, cash for honors, northern rock, John Prescott,
labor government you embarrassed us all
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it
advancing on the Israelites, terrorist for animal rights,
ununited generation, love is just a hippie notion,
Queen Mother laid to rest, absurd Diana inquests,
the grace of the Prince has stand it’s test,
?
Bombs over Baghdad, troops to Afghanistan, war on terror, friendly fire,
what’s the truth and what’s a lie?
Man has made himself a slave to oil, porn, gold and fame
But as the dollar weakens even further
Britain will be great forever
We didn’t start the fire
The new pornographers say ‘It’s going to be alright’ and whenever I listen to this song I believe them.
I guess there are times we all wonder if it really will be ok, but I think the key is to knowing eventually it will be. As hard as things get, there will be some light at the end of the tunnel. I’d ask you to look at where you were this time last year, or the year before and think of all that you have achieved in that time. How you have developed and personally grown. Not the things you lost but the ones you have gained.
Yes we sit, bitch and moan about the world but we are here in it, living it and we have so much left to live. So many stupid things to laugh at, cry about, laugh at more and I’m to do it with you. Cynical Cat Hater (CCH as you will be known from now) I say to you, don’t forget where you were 2 years ago and don’t forget where you are now. To all my friends who have had more than their fair share of shit this year, we are still here and we are even funnier than we were before and life is forever funnier and we are kicking life’s ass even if it gets a left hook in every now and then.
Anyway remember reality is a good place for a holiday but I wouldn’t want to live there….so lets just leave whenever we need.
