Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

Stevie Wonder - Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer

all you haven't got

i've been thinkin' 'bout you
you've probably been thinkin' 'bout me
here's what it's come down to
the two of us just can't be
no more contemplating
the possibility
so baby here it goes
baby just so you know
here's what i have to say

i want you to be for me
in every way that you're not
i want you to want me (baby)
and give me all you haven't got
and i wanna be your man
though we know that you don't have
a chance
with me at all

i want to be the shoulder
there for you to lean on
to be right for eachother (baby)
and forget that we are wrong
and i want you to be mine
though we know that you're not quite
the type
that i want

i realize what i'm saying
is trying on my heart
and i realize what i'm feeling
really isn't love at all
'cause there's no way for me to love you
as we are today
so baby here it goes
baby just so you know
here's what i have to say

i want you to be for me
in every way that you're not
i want you to want me (baby)
and give me all you haven't got
and i wanna be your man
though we know that you don't have
a chance
with me at all

i want to be the shoulder
there for you to lean on
to be right for eachother (baby)
and forget that we are wrong
and i want you to be mine
though we know that you're not quite
the type
that i want

as much as you and i
thought that we just might
be able to love for life
it's time to understand
despite whatever plans
that unfortunately baby
i can't be your man

i want you to be for me
in every way that you're not
i want you to want me (baby)
and give me all you haven't got
and i wanna be your man
though we know that you don't have
a chance
with me at all

i want to be the shoulder
there for you to lean on
to be right for eachother (baby)
and forget that we are wrong
and i want you to be mine
though we know that you're not quite
the type
for me at all

an unsure moment

it seems today went back in time
back to when my faith resigned
back to when i lost my way
when my future seemed so disarray

when the shades are drawn on windows of tomorrow
it's hard to appreciate the view
when all you've got is an unsure moment
it's hard to know what to do

what seemed real concealed the truth
that i have yet to find
and what i dreamed revealed that i
am still troubled in my youth

when the shades are drawn on windows of tomorrow
it's hard to appreciate the view
when all you've got is an unsure moment
it's hard to know what to do

don't go letting it all fall apart
don't go letting that smile fall from grace
don't go leaning on a fragile fiction
that leaves you in disgrace

when the shades are drawn on windows of tomorrow
it's hard to appreciate the view
when all you've got is an unsure moment
just do what you can do

You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

eyes of a child

i'm complaining, you're complaining, we all are complaining
that the world needs to be a better place
people slaying, babies paying a debt that they don't owe
and we just shake our heads and wonder why

well, the so-called people that are tearing this world apart
they weren't just born that way
it takes some hard work and determination to learn how to hate
and the first ones that it's taught to
is to the eyes of a child

do do do do do do do...

i point the finger, you point the finger, we all point the finger
that the cure is clearly out of our hands
the truth about it, and don't you doubt it
responsibility lies on you and me for woman, child and man

well, the lives we lead are the determining factors
aboard this planet earth because
it's gonna take some hard work and determination to demonstrate true love
and the first ones that we gotta show it to
is to the eyes of a child

do do do do do do do...

well, it may seem like i'm preaching, but i'm only teaching
from experience, that's something i can't buy
so you'd better take a listen 'cause the love is missin'
but if we work together, we can work it out, work it out yeah

do do do do do do do...

World On Fire

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able

I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able

Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us

We part the veil on Archille's sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able

Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire

my love

all these perspectives of what beautiful should be
will forever be undefinable and indescribable to me
'cause how could beauty be something that's seen
when it always falls short of what's underneath?
a body so beautiful means little on my horizon
when i know there's so much out of my view
so much beyond the visual sensation
of all that i think i see in you
cause beauty is beyond the physical planes
beyond physical stature or physical frames
beauty may be called by many different names
may be found on the skin instead of flowing through the veins
but that's where my perception of beauty wanes
'cause shit so shallow is just bad game
true beauty is found deep down in the soul
found in the parts that make the whole
from desires to ambitions to the deepest of their dreams
true beauty isn't at all what it seems
it's not about a figure that will change with the time
nor is it about society's definition of 'fine'
i'm telling you beauty is something much more
i just wish it wasn't so easy to ignore
in the naive presence of physical attraction
limiting love's sense of satisfaction
with physical obstacles of distraction
that only result in a man's weak reaction
and though the physical may be beautiful
(in some ways it's true)
i want to know more than just the surface of you
'cause i know beyond the surface that i see
is the sole definiton of what beauty should be

SCOTLAND SET TO HARNESS TIDAL POWER
Yahoo News, Sept. 9 2005

ABERDEEN (Reuters) - Scotland aims to generate 10 percent of its electricity from tidal and wave power which would be equivalent to replacing a huge fossil fueled power station, the Scottish government said this week.

Deputy First Minister Nicol Stephen said he was making changes to renewable energy support regulations to kick start millions of pounds of investment in marine energy.

"Tens of millions of pounds of support will be available -- with the potential for hundreds of millions to be invested in new wave and tidal projects around Scotland's shores," Stephen said in a statement.

Expansion of the marine energy industry in Scotland could create thousands of jobs, he said.

Scotland is looking to become a center for renewable technology to supplement its oil and gas industry which will eventually decline as output drops from the UK's aging North Sea fields.

Tidal and wave power technology is still in its infancy. Utility Scottish Power and engineering company AMEC have a pilot wave power project in Orkney but there have been no large commercial wave or tidal schemes in Scotland.

The Scottish Executive will change the rules of the Renewables Obligation Scotland, government-backed rules to support green energy, to award additional Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) to wave and tidal output.

Wave and tidal power generators can sell these ROCS to electricity suppliers who buy them to meet their obligation to supply a certain amount of their power from green sources.

The Executive has a target of generating 18 percent of Scotland's power from green sources by 2010, higher than the UK national goal of 10 percent.

the little things do matter

yesterday the Bic Company announced the sale of the 100 billionth -100,000,000,000- disposable Bic pen since it was invented just after WW2. being 'disposable' i'm sure nearly every one of them was disposed of unless unless recycled somehow. each pen measures 15cm and lined up end to end this would stretch 3,750 times around the globe, or 40 times to the moon and back.

how forever will begin

For A Lifetime

You give and you give
But you never seem to get back in return
What you give
So your heart's in first through third degree burns
And in the end, you just want to give up on love
Oh, you're gonna get yours

Sure as all that greed will die
And showers fall from April skies
A heart that's pure won't be denied
The kinda lovin' that'll rock ya
The kinda lovin' that'll keep ya
Hold ya for a lifetime
Even in the sad times

Your guard's up, and your heart's cold
This might be the one
But you will never know
You're holding onto pain from so long ago
You gotta let it go, you gotta let it go
Oh, and I promise you're gonna find love

Sure as all that greed will die
And showers fall from April skies
A heart that's pure won't be denied
The kinda lovin' that'll rock ya
The kinda lovin' that'll keep ya
Hold ya for a lifetime

Even in the hard times
Even when it's going down
You're gonna find someone's riding with you
You don't have to be alone
You just gotta hold on
You're gonna find true love

Sure as all that breathe will die
And showers fall from April skies
A heart that's pure won't be denied
The kinda lovin' that'll rock ya
The kinda lovin' that'll hold...
Hold ya for a lifetime

Oh, oh...hold ya for a lifetime
Even in the bad times
