BOAT BEAM - The Rain Pauly

Half the world's growing what keeps the rest going

A shot of something hot to show us what you got
Keep you on your toes increase the cortisol
It's all there for the taking

Swallowing balloons, a powder tribute
To idleness and plenty, a letter to the gentry
From the tortoise to the hare, a catalyst accelerating
Let's do business

Seek the rain Pauly
Seek the rain Pauly

Over-stimulated and under-motivated
You start a million things and never finish one of them
It's a big commitment to ask for an opinion
When all our information is chosen with discretion
I felt absurd I had to tell the birds they couldn't use the air
Planes are flying there
There's not enough to go round, but it sounds like we're just not slowing down

Seek the rain Pauly
(You were crying aloud, you were begging on your knees)
Seek the rain Pauly
(with your gold and coal and you're barred now from the feast)

If you don't get it before about eleven
The edges are blurry, no optimism purring
For high definition and just to be efficient
The chemical imbalance must be righted

We'll work harder to open new markets
Divvy up the harvest, retain the luck they're coveting
It's so unbelievably cheap because we didn't really pay for it

Seek the rain Pauly
(You were crying aloud you were begging on your knees)
(Right above the secrets of the earth)
Seek the rain Pauly
(With your gold and coal and you're barred now from feast)
(Right above the secrets of the earth)

The 88 - No One Here

Throw away the paper

And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
Be prepared to feel
And all the expectations
I will never meet
Take you to the point
Of never believing
And you're tired of me

My love,

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there s no one here who knows just ..
How I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is ..
Real and ..
Broken ..
Down ..

So put it all behind you
Where you cannot see
And if you're growing older
Don't forget me
Cause I will disappoint you
Just because I can
And I will bring you back
To all that you say when you wanna call me friend
And every time I show you
How this is gonna end

My love,

But there s no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there s no one here who knows just ..
How I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is ..
Real and ..
Broken ..
Down ..

Cry if you wanna
Tear down the walls
But there s no one here who love you
Or who come each time you call
So throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
But be prepared to feel

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there s no one here who knows just ..
How I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is ..
Real and ..
Broken ..
Down ..

Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

three little birds sat on my window　窗邊飛來 了三隻小雀

and they told me i don't need to worry　它們似乎告訴我要好好放輕鬆
summer came like cinnamon, so sweet.　夏天的味道像肉桂香般 如此甜美
little girls double-dutch on the concrete　看著大街上女孩們開心的玩著跳繩

maybe sometimes,　也許 有時候
we've got it wrong but it's alright. 　做自己其實也沒什麼不好ㄚ
the more things seem to change,　 物換星移
the more they stay the same.　 但舊愛還是最美
ooo, don’t you hesitate.　 好啦 別再胡思亂想了

girl put your records on,　 女孩 點一首歌吧
tell me your favourite song.　告訴我妳最愛哪一首歌
you go ahead let your hair down.　讓自己心情隨風飛揚吧
sapphire and faded jeans,　穿上妳最愛的褪色牛仔褲
i hope you get your dreams.　 祝妳美夢 成真
just go ahead let your hair down.　 讓心像風箏般隨風飛
you're going to find yourself somewhere, somehow.　 學會多愛自己一點吧

blue as the sky,　藍藍 的天空
sunburnt and lonely,　寂靜午後的暖暖陽光
sipping tea in a bar by the roadside.　 在路邊啜著茶
just relax, just relax.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
don't you let those other boys fool you.　再也別聽那些男孩們胡說八道
got to love that afro hair do.　要學會愛上妳那純真可愛的黑人頭

maybe sometimes,　也許 有時候
we feel afraid but its alright.　你會覺得自己與眾不同 但那又如何呢？
the more you stay the same,　妳愈忠於自我
the more they seem to change. 　大夥愈對你刮目相看
don't you think its strange?　妳不覺得這很奇怪嗎？

girl put your records on,　女孩 點一首歌吧
tell me your favourite song.　告訴我妳最愛哪一首歌
you go ahead let your hair down.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
sapphire and faded jeans,　穿上妳最愛的褪色牛仔褲
i hope you get your dreams.　祝妳美夢 成真
just go ahead let your hair down.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
you're going to find yourself somewhere, somehow.　學會多愛自己一點

'twas more than i could take.　我也曾和你一樣
pity for pity's sake.　也曾自哀自憐
some nights kept me awake.　也曾痛苦失眠
i thought that i was stronger.　我想那讓我變得更堅強
when you going to realise　妳何時才會想通呢？
that you don't even have to try any longer?　別再苦苦掙扎
do what you want to.　勇敢的做自己 做你想做的吧

girl put your records on ... 女孩 為自己 點首妳最愛的歌吧 ...

Facebook developed immensely over the years, and many features were added. Beginning as a homely website where users can post and share pictures, Facebook today is nothing like its initial stages. In a space called "Wall," users can post their statuses to inform friends of their whereabouts and actions. On every user's homepage, there's a "News Feed" feature which highlights information including profile changes, upcoming events, and birthdays of the user's friends.


One of the most popular applications is "Photos," for users to upload photos, and to "tag" their friends who are also Facebook users in a photo. The friends will be notified that they've been tagged and will be able to find a link to see the photo. There's also a "Chat" application on Facebook that allows users to communicate instantly online. Users can also send virtual gifts to their friends, play games, or maintain farms on Facebook

immensely adv. 極大地，非常
homely a. 普通的，一班的
whereabouts n. 行蹤，下握
highlight v. 使顯著，使突出
application n. 應用程式
upload v. (資料)上傳
tag v. 標示，貼上標籤
instantly adv. 立即
virtual a. 虛擬的
maintain v. 維持，保養

The Elected - It Was Love

You found a way to break away

from the one you say that you love
now you cry out your eyes day and night
you set free the one that you love

and it's true, I don't remember you
but I believe you if you say that we met
I get confused
nights, i've been wondering
I thought I was already dead

but man, I loved
yeah, I loved
when I loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, the closest I got

and the coffee, the cream
the blood in my dreams
are the ones you used to know
and the gas, the plane, the interstate
live the ones you don't have to know
and I regret this sad and awful truth
but my mouth, it'll get away from me
you, I just put up with you, kid
I stayed cause you wouldn't leave

remember love
oh, love
when we loved
it was love
it was love
or at least, as close as I've come

and maybe joan was running all alone
and there is a shortcut
by putting a gun to your brain
man, to take all that you got

and the truth was I was just scared for you
but for me, that's the way that it comes
you'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
but god, didn't we have some fun?
when we made love in the van
and I drove with your hand on my lap
and when san diego got too unkind
we just picked up and left it behind
and we had some love and some hope
a full tank of gas and a wide open road

it was love
to us, it was all that we had
and there's just a day when you just break
the best thing you had
and I still call it love
for now, it's the closest I've come

Nirvana - Something in the Way

Underneath the bridge

The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

(x3)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Robin Hackett - a hard left

Sorry Baby but its getting too much to take

I close my eyes I know my hearts about to break
I'm down on my knees tryin to pick myself up
When the battles over, seems nothins not enough

The way you do me, you know it hurts me to the bone
How you touch me, I'd be better off alone
Sayin I'm sorry till I'm blue in the face
Leaves me empty with no love left to waste

We promise to have, oh we promise to hold
How does a promise ever grow old

So listen baby, I'm gonna get back on my feer
Tuck this old shirt and wipe the crimson off my cheek
Remember these secrets were all that I kept
When I pull out this driveway and hang a Hard Left

We promise to have, oh we promise to hold
How does a promise ever grow old

Quiet - Rachael Yamagata

Baby says I can't come with him

And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything to change when I leave

Simply Red - If You Don't Know Me By Now

If you dont know me by now

You will never never never know me

All the things that weve been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I aint gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh dont get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cos we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight

If you dont know me by now (if you dont know me)
You will never never never know me (no you wont)
If you dont know me by now
You will never never never know me

Weve all got our own funny moods
Ive got mine, woman youve got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as weve been together it should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when you cant see eye to eye, oh

If you dont know me by now (if you dont know me)
You will never never never know me (no you wont)
If you dont know me by now (you will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)

Bon Jovi-You Give Love A Bad Name

Shot through the heart, and your to blame, darling


You give love a bad name


An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

You're a loaded gun ... yeah
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love.....

Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name

Elvis Presley - You Don't Know Me

You give your hand to me
and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell,
you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend,
and that's all I've ever been

No, you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
No, you don't know me
