Carry on...

... beautiful song by Fun


Well I woke up to the sound of silence
the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
and I found you with a bottle of wine
your head in the curtains
and heart like the Fourth of July

You swore and said
"We are not
We are not shining stars"
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends
at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
about how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you are to me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Whoa
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

Introducing Newton Faulkner - Been thinking about it




If I was lost. Lost at sea. I'd grab the flag and I'd swim all the way home. Cause it's it in my genes

I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it.

If I like you, And you like me, Why the hell are we wasting our time ? Are you too afraid to cross that line ?

I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it.

If this was to end right now. I'd go with a grateful smile

I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it.

If life's so short. Then what's the cost. Of working day and night five days a week ? You say you hate it but it makes ends meet

I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it.

My time here on earth could be. A fragile and fleeting thing. But if this was to end right now. I'd go with a grateful smile

I've been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it. Been thinking 'bout it. I've been thinking 'bout it.

If I like you. And you like me. Why the hell are we wasting our time ?

Black rain - by jack savoretti

This is a beautiful song, but for the first time I fell for the lyrics. I generally like the music and never listen to the lyrics, but this songs is amazingly relavant. It sad more people are not listening to this guy. 


Lyrics - 


A dirty rain is falling at my feet
And people walk pretending not to see
And I don't know why everybody wants what they don't need

It's everybody's world, one man's grave
And heaven only knows what's hidden up this late
Using diamonds, clubs, and spades, he'll win your heart
And build a house of cards
And build a house of cards

'Til we all fall down
And we all fall down
Watch us all fall down
Like black rain

The building's getting tall; watch it scrape the sky
Can't see the stars at all through the city lights
When the fuel runs low, who cares if we're getting high?
It's not the things you know, but the things that you deny

That make us all fall down
And we all fall down
Watch us all fall down
Like black rain
Like black rain
Like black rain

A dirty rain is falling at my feet
And people walk pretending not to see
And I don't know why everybody wants what they don't need

Well we all fall down
'Til we all fall down
Watch the oil fall down
Like black rain
Like black rain
