HOLD ON TIGHT

HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know
But nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me
You never shut-up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These Years

So you found a girl
Who thinks really deep thougts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven
Where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there

Cause what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These.

Years go by
Will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by
If I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds
Raining in head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're too easy Easy Easy

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you here
Take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them

tori amos, silent all these years

PAKS AGLIO OLIO OBVIOUSLY WAS COOKED BY HIM AND THEREFORE WASNT WORTH FISH.
GOTH WAS HOT. (it just got a little time consuming. goth is good for holidays only.)

and "basel, baden and alsace comprise of the regio trirhena, forming an almost neat triangle." sigh the names sound almost good to eat.

"thank goodness the whole gothic thing was over". but yes, thank goodness the whole thing is over. :)

today i cooked for my flatmates and they loved it. asian cooking ftw?

groceries in germany is ridiculously cheap, i spent 30 euros on items that will last me for months; now my kitchen is complete, now i can cook almost anything.

and sam is damn funny lar, like kanna locked out of his house by his fuming angry wife =x hell clearly has no fury like a woman scorned.
