Reamonn - Tonight


Reamonn - Tonight

She never took the train alone
she hated being on her own
She always took me by the hands
and say she needs me
She never wanted love to fail
she always hoped that it was real
She'd look me in the eyes and say: "Believe me."
And then the night becomes the day
and there’s nothing left to say
If there's nothing left to say
then something’s wrong

Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful
Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild

And as the hands would turn with time
she'd always say that she was my mine
She'd turn and lend a smile
to say that she's gone
But in a whisper she'd arrive
and dance into my life
Like a music melody
like a lovers song

Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful
Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild

Through the darkest night
comes the brightest light
And the light that shines
is deep inside
It's who you are

Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful
Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful …beautiful
Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
so beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild
So beautiful and wild
So beautiful and wild

Toot Toot for Charles Shaw Wine, and small blow for exotic wine origins
Here is the sub title: "Cornell study shows wine labels can ruin a restaurant meal." My take on this study is that we are influenced by price and expectations, but in some contexts you get what you pay for. I would gladly pay $100 more for a car repair if I know the repair is superior quality. But hooray for Charles Shaw wine, the "3 Buck Chuck". I had a fine glass of his Merlot several weeks back and complimented our host who poured the glass. Wine is fun and should be fun, so the bottom line is that we need more studies like this one in which free wine is given out with an expensive meal. Maybe they'll have the study next in Ypsilanti!!

Edwyn Collins - Out Of This World
http://www.nyclondon.com/blog/archives/2004/11/15/barbican_beauty_is_in_the_eye_of_the_leaseholder.blog"Out of this World"

I'm praying for rain
I'm praying that you'll come to your senses
Because whilst you bask in the warmth of the sun
You're vulnerable and defenceless

There are so many people
Who come to depend on you
There are even some
Impressionable souls
For whom you are a guru

And you turn to them and you say
Love is in the season
But the season changed
Then what will you believe in?

When the winter comes
That's when I'll be leaving
I leave to find a way
To break out of this world

You won't burn out
Yours is a love that smoulders
So why do you feel
That you're carrying the weight
Of the world upon your shoulders?

Not that it amounts to much
But I'd help you if I could
Now don't waste you breath
Refusing my help
That's already understood

And you turn to me and you say
Love is in the season
But the season changed
Then what will believe in?

When the winter comes
That's when I'll be leaving
I leave to find a way
To break out of this world

Yes there's got to be way
To break out of this world
