All night long, we were singing Northern songs

This is my work place
And these are the people I work with
Yuko and hiro
We work together
We work for the company
That works to the future
We work hard to please me
They will protect us

I never see you
We’re never together
I’ll love you forever

~ Blur, Yuko and Hiro. One of my favourites.

Everything We Had - The Academy Is…

You can blame the government for sidelining poetry. You can blame teachers for making it seem so dull. You can even blame poets themselves for their parochialism and wilful inaccessibility. But you can’t get away from the fact that verse appears to be an integral part of the human condition. A generation of kids that found no meaning in Keats, Milton and Larkin can quote endlessly from Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and John Lennon. And somewhere in a bedroom near you, there will be an adolescent poring over the lyrics of the Streets, Pete Doherty or the Arctic Monkeys. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2005/dec/13/highereducationprofile.highereducation

The Worst Day Since Yesterday

Well I know, I miss more than hit
With a face that was launched to sink
An’ I seldom feel, the bright relief
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

If there’s one thing I have said
Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bed
As the four winds blow, my wits through the door
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

Fallin’ down to you sweet ground
Where the flowers they bloom
It’s there I’ll be found

Hurry back to me, my wild Colleen
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

Though these wounds have seen no wars
Except for the scars I have ignored
And this endless crutch, well it’s never enough
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

Hell says hello, well it’s time to I should go
To pastures green, that I’ve yet to see

Hurry back to me, my wild Colleen
It’s been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
