Don't Stand So Close To Me

I'm posting this as a reaction to a conversation i had with someone about films and her question if i had seen the film lolita. This is a song by The Police and is actually the first thing that pops into my mind when thinking about Nabokov's Lolita. Mayba i'll write a piece on Lolita that is if i'll have the time...

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Ano ang Irony: Ang irony ay kapag inalis na sa iyo ang isang gawain pero ikaw pa din ang kinukunsulta para magawa ng ipinalit sa iyong tao ang gawain niya... by writing this i am also demonstrating what is sarcasm

Confessions

Done so many things wrong I dont know if I can do right
Oh i, oh ive
Done so many things wrong I dont know if I can do right

At this point in my life
Ive done so many things wrong I dont know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me I hope I wont let you down
If you give me a chance Ill try
You see its been a hard road the road Im traveling on
And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
Ive had a hard life Im just saying it so youll understand
That right now, right now, Im doing the best I can

At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Although Ive mostly walked in the shadows
Im still searching for the light
Wont you put your faith in me
We both know thats what matters
If you give me a chance Ill try
You see Ive been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
Ive been reaching high always losing ground
You see Ive been reaching high but always losing ground
You see Ive conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now Im doing the best I can
At this point in my life

Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All Ive seen and all Ive done
The things Id like to forget

At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Id like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it

You see when Ive touched the sky
The earths gravity has pulled me down
But now Ive reconciled that in this world
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
If you can give it a try
Then Ill reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have
At this point in my life
At this point in my life

I ADMIT IT

I admit it... I am not happy with the way things are rights now. How stupid was I think that what i have done or set out to accomplish, NOT FOR MYSELF, but for the good of all don't mean squat. Maybe it was because i was to abrasive and my manner, and how i set out to do things rubbed people off in the wrong way. But hey if only you saw it with unprejudiced eyes you will understand that in the end it is you who would have benefited from it all. Apparently my work ethic and behavior was not in accordance to what the standard is and not in conformity to how you have wanted me to act. I admit it... to some extent it may be my fault but the guilt is also in your hands. I plead innocent to whatever it is you deemed that i have done. After all i am just a human being and i also feel hurt and dejection more than you think i do.

alienated

sometimes I have to ask myself why do I bother. Well everything I have accomplished is not mine anyway and i am nothing but an expendable cog in the wheel. I am once again put in a situation wherein i have to choose between being where i am now; unhappy and unappreciated or plot out a new course that may or may not lead to something good.

You know what? I am not at fault here but your f@&kng egos. Ah even the judgement of the wisests of men get clouded when their pride and egos are put on the spot. I got news for all of you - YOU CAN'T JUST WRITE ME OFF YET! I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT AND I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING ME DOWN AND KNOCKED OUT! I fully understand now the meaning of labor being alienated.

Sometimes Life Does not go the way we want it to

I Know That I Was Lost
And I Know That It Was Too Too Hard
And Although It Isn't Much
I Give You All I Have.

There's A Mirror In The Old Place
A Place Where We Would Stand
And Wonder At Our Sweet Sweet Selves
Smiling Hand In Hand
This Wasn't What We Planned.

[chorus]
Though The Night Has Fallen
I Close My Eyes And Imagine
A Tiny Glimmer Flickering On The Horizon.

It Takes Time To Get It Right
Takes No Time To Get It Wrong.
I Can't Believe I Didn't See
The Ground Was Caving In

Oh, Can We Just Start Again?

[chorus]

Everyday, Everyday
Living My Life Like It's Over
Like It's Over And Deep Underground.

Little Look, Little Smile
Flick The Switch And It's Over
Like It's Lost And Can Never Be Found.

But Maybe There's A Tiny Glow
That Won't Die And Won't Leave Us. A Lone
Star Shining. The Sun Is Rising.

There's A Tiny Glimmer Flickering On The Horizon.
Can You See It? Can You See It There?
Can You See It? Can You See It There's
A Tiny Glimmer Flickering On The Horizon.

Feeling Like an angst filled twenty something

How can I decide what's right?
When your clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight
All the time

Nor could I ever own what's mine
When your always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see

What kind of man that you are
If you are a man at all
Well, I'll figure this one out
On my own

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here
Well, I think I know

I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true
