[Pos]
Yo.. we bout to get it (get it) get it (get it)
get it (get it) get on down (down) down (down)
Yo! We bout to get it (get it) get it (get it)
get it (get it) get on down (down) down (down)
Chorus: Pos
We run it, HOT! When we over the drums
To the, TOP! Cause the bottom we're from
We got the, DROP! On your weekend crew
cause you're full-time talkin while we peepin your view
[Pos]
Rahubat(?), you know my name
I run my humbleness with fame
God-body, nuttin plain
while you claimin shepherd that you heard this
you, heard this on day first
Watch my man, he'll make it worse
Ain't no new click, we still Native
[Dove]
Clothes knit, stitched tight, related
that's the way we handle it
Pin us up or mantle it
We on fire you candle lit
Daydreamin, on a rack
Get bought worn and brought back
We sport rhyme thought real tight
[Pos]
to gain sizes much bigger
Live life well, get mail filled with
checks from sales we deliver
[Dove]
Spend a little, make a little
I want it big like white boy wallets
Credit delievered, Fed-Excellent
To my dot com, we on the web like Charlotte's
Hornet, back her up, she too much on it
Your plastic ass'll get swiped
past the limit see you the type
to get yo' cosmetics smeared on pillows all night
Chorus
[Pos]
while we peepin your view
while we, peepin your view
We got they eyes on lock
Let them flock to your wit while I spit after you
[Dove]
Look ma, I'm still rhymin
Baby boy still providin
Breakin bread in four states
Makin these struggles get gone
Private eyes, I see y'all spyin
You watch while I clock
Fertilize my brain data
Makin accounts grow green like the front lawns
[Pos]
Yo I may be old school
but I'm not no old fool
Heard out your mouth words flee
bout "These niggaz ain't nice"
You just barbershop talkin
while we round the world walkin
B, you ain't D.M.C.
You slip and fall on my ice
No lyin, straight shinin
I give you supper from my upper diamond
You got limbs so climb in
[Dove]
Yo, soak up what you find-in
We too pure for you to try
You sniffin maybe's and if's
[Pos]
And if "if" was a spliff
Man we'd all be hiiiiiiiiigh-iiiiiigh.. iiiggghhhhh..
[Dove]
.. but it's not, so sober up
You flashin out like you paparaz'
You'll need to take a liver shot
to feel the heat on how we runnin it, YO
Chorus 1.75X (minus last line, 2nd time)
[Pos]
cause you're full time talkin while we, while we
while we lettin you know I'm in a
certified rhyme meadow for days
If you ask Mercenary bout this shit, it pays
Hitting Willie Mays style out the park
Mastering in this +Art+ that's +Official+
Your ears absorb this like tears, on a tissue
cause my thoughts are dollar bill crisp
Distinct like E-Double's lisp
L.I. alumni, wonder why I got it
Got it? Get a piece
Got product that you all should own and not lease
Some say drummers play synonymous with ill
with wordplay, that keep us all paid like a bill
We're the parent company
You the sub in my D-I-vision
They told me if I write this song for them.
That they would cut my hair for free.
But that's not me no liberties.
They're in to all the coolest bands
And knowing that they're going to the gigs as fans
Entitles me to some decency.
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
I WISH everybody danced like them.
Split visions of a talkative therapy
It makes me bend away it gives me E
Seems hard to say, its insanity.
The same record for the 16th time
Exact same set you did the last time round
Doesn't bother me we're in harmony.
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
I WISH everybody danced like them.
No low emotions rolling tonight
Young heavy hopefuls staying the night
So stick around and wait for the day.
Craziness kills lazyness N happiness
Takes bad bets no one gives a fuck U see we're all out of our little heads.
Craziness kills lazyness N happiness
Takes bad bets no one gives a fuck
You see we're all out of our,
All out of our,
All out of our little fucking heads
Doo doo doo doo...
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
I WISH everybody danced like them.
Can anybody dance like them
Can U tell me
Does anybody dance like them
Can U tell me
Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
(There's cracks on these walls
Ten thousand feet tall
Don't know what to do with them all) X2
I'm gonna build a million metre ladder
And I'm gonna fix them all
Someones tried to get out
Someones tried to get in
You know it weighs a tonne
You know my ego wears a grin
Someones tried to get out
Someones tried to get in
You know it weights a tonne
You know my patience is wearing thin
I'm gonna find a hundred million people and I'll turn them into one...
Of these walls
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
And I think that her time's not done
(The roof is falling down
And the ceiling wears a frown
At the only house in town where the ceiling falls down) X2
So let's rip up every slate and slab and see what's going down
And these walls
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
And I think that the beat is done
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
We've never spoke in three weeks man
And it's starting to freak me out
I hope there's no one gelling my bird
together with all their
sweet and utter charm
We've flown around the world
together we've seen a massive range of sick bags even in
Baghdad call my self your lad but seemingly you're sad
Thinking of poems of poverty
Sitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority
Oh what a soft touch of a boy
He'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self
Visions to his self
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
What we loved most of all, was sitting round the shop, while this young boy was sitting all alone,
Sitting all alone
Pondering times of sanctuary
He was taking his piano lessons, we were on half an E
Invested life in medicine, which isn't the wisest way to go,
Had so much shit going on.
Convinced he'd never win. Convinced he was a sin.
We'd speak of women and cheaper carryouts
We'd turn up to all the festivals, trying to bring down the touts,
What we love the most of all was sittin' at the shop, while this poor boy was sittin' all alone,
Sittin' all alone
We'd talk of treasures and overrated games
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
What we loved most of all, was hanging round the shop, while this poor boy was sitting all alone,
He couldn't find none of his own kind, he didn't have none of his own kind
You should take interest in his mind, not spend all of his time wastin all his money and his time
Thinking of poems of poverty
Sitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority
Oh what a soft touch of a don
He'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self
Visions to his self
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
What we loved most of all, was hanging round the shop, while this young boy was sitting all alone,
Sitting all alone
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
What we loved most of all was hanging round the shop
What we loved most of all was waiting round the shop
What we loved most of all was sitting at the shop,
(Verse)
The fire exit door has never agreed with me
I'm never sure whether to push or pull
The fire exit door has never agreed with me
And leave me burning and I'm more the fool
(Chorus)
And oh the clock, the clock has no sympathy
And oh the clock, the clock's has it's way with me
(Verse)
Stay away if you're fed up of me
I'll never give you the time of day
If you won't give me my way
I'll never say something that I don't mean
Unless I really mean it,
And I really mean it now
(Chorus)
Cause oh the clock, the clock has no sympathy
And oh the clock, the clock's has it's way with me
And oh the clock, the clock has no sympathy
And oh the clock, the clock's has it's way with me
There's no fighting and no hiding
My pains is gone
There's no fighting and no hiding
Now my pain is gone
There's no fighting and no hiding
My pains is gone
There's no fighting and no hiding
My pains is gone
(Chorus)
And oh the clock, the clock has no sympathy
And oh the clock, the clock's has it's way with me
And oh the clock, the clock has no sympathy
And oh the clock, the clock's has it's way with me
Seal me up
(Outro)
'Cause the clock has no sympathy
And the clock's has it's way with me
And the clock has no sympathy
Superstar tradesman
Stand at the bar
Get a trade son
You will go far
You have a house in the ferry
And a new guitar that's never been played before
And it never will
Never been played before
And it never will
The weather is sunny
You're locked inside
The weather is sunny
Oh yes
Ive tried and ive tried
To keep me sane to keep me sane
To keep me sane to keep me sane
I don't want money I want a thing called happiness
I don't want cash you know
I'd quite like memories
To keep us on track
Lets never look back
To keep us on track
Lets never look back
What would you do
If I asked you
What would you do
If I asked you
To sail away to see some sights
Sail away with me to see some sights
Superstar tradesman
Stand at the bar
Get a trade son
You will go far
You have a house in the ferry
And a new guitar that's never been played before
And it never will
Never been played before
Skip away from a drunken day, & wake me up on Sunday.
Steal away from a drunken night, & wake me up on Sunday.
Thinking back on a hopeless night, & wake me up on Sunday.
I left the pub when we got kicked out, & wake me up on Sunday.
Cause when I feel the need to be thrilled I won't ask you.
Or when I feel the need to be thrilled I won't ask you.
I'm not stealing hope from you x2.
I run away from a broken day, & wake me up on Sunday.
Shift is done & I sing this song, & wake me up on a Sunday.
Cause when I'm looking for something new I won't ask you. x2
I'm not stealing hope from you. x4
Take a note of the scenic road, girl
Take a note of the scenic road, girl
Take a note of the scenic road, girl
Jump around, to the stolen, to the stolen sun/sound.
So jump around, to the stolen, to the stolen sun/sound.
I'm not stealing hope from you.
I'm not stealing hope from you.

Skag trendy thought he new just what to do,
He was only seventeen and he was out screwing the brew,
He thought that parents were too old and teachers told him what to do,
He's master skag trendy 'n' he'd like to talk to you.
He told his mother what he was all about,
She didn't acknowledge the cry for help,
She just chucked him out,
Now he's broke sitting outside, sitting on the floor.
Nothing else to think about except another score,
But before he gets this he has to go and steal something.
That's not something that he really wants to do,
But you see since his mother chucked him out,
She signed him off the brew,
I wish somebody would love him,
He doesn't have a hope,
I wish somebody would love him,
He doesn't have a home.
He'd like to speak to his old school friends,
But he needs ten pence for his phone.
He had a girlfriend she was very, very, very nice,
Walks by him now, won't look at him twice,
She liked his dress sense and his cheeky, cheeky grin,
But you see since he's been chucked out,
He's lost all of them, he's got none.
So he writes another sad song, he's got none.
So he writes another sad song.
I'm master skag trendy thought I knew just what to do,
I was only seventeen and I was out screwing the brew,
I thought that parents were too old and teachers told him what to do,
I'm master skag trendy and I'd like to talk to you.
I wish somebody would love me, cos I don't have a home.
I wish somebody would love me, cos I don't have a home.
I'd like to speak to my old school friends, but I need ten pence for the phone.
One thing would happen to someone in this situation,
That is complete and utter social deterioration,
Should have clicked on when he was out pawning his playstation,
Just a young man looking for some variation.
He made a mistake; he was looking for some variation,
I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down
Life's one big circle
And it doesn't end
When it ends
Will you still be my friend?
I'm not making a fool of myself
Oh tell me
I'm not making a fool of myself
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Oh That's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground
I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down
I take my hats off to the busker man
When they drown all the sorrows singing songs
Now everything has worked out to plan
But believe me it started as long as it can
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Now put your feet back on the ground
I've had the same jeans on for four days now
I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town
Everybody's dressing up
I'm dressing down
My minds not perfect but it's sincere
You'd be amazed at what you can achieve in a year
And you try so hard
But your hearts on a switch
And I know you try so hard
But your hearts on a switch
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground
When you look in the mirror
Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know
Life's just made your head spin around
So get yourself together
Get your feet back on the ground
Same Jeans on for four days now
Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down
I'm not making a fool of myself
Now believe me lady I can't tell
Same Jeans on for four days now
Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down
Im not making a fool of myself
Living on them pills lying in squalor
That's the life of the late night bar crawler
The most outrageous man I met once said
"I could take a belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead"
He wants his song to make you shiver
a little like there's a ghost coming your way
Have you ever been told that something's forever
and had your heart broken the very next day
Shout it from the rooftoop
You canshout it from the rooftop
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid
To be ten different people that's easy, it's easier than being yourself
I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy, picking life off the shelf
He taught me, time wasted, it's time spent well
The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell
Coz when your down they'll kick you
the jury doesn't matter at all
The jury doesn't matter at all
Tell me officer when your baton kissed me
did it make you feel tall?
And no one asked you where you come from
No one told you of these times
And no one asked you where you come from
No one told you of these times
That is your life don't waste it
Why don't you run away?
A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade
Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade
Does it make you quiver a little, the way they say
"We're gonna fuck you". take a little bit of freedom away every day
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
I want you to know I had no place to go
Want you to see what you done to me
Because of him you've thrown me away
You could of gone with him and chose another day
Just because your gullible ranger
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
I'm feeling almost dead you're messing up my head
I'm in the wrong direction still no support
Because of him you've thrown me away
You could of gone with him and chose another day
The road that you have taken now
Is all because of me somehow
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
Just because your gullible range
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you me the life
And I'll love my son, like you loved one
I will become another part of you
I'll carry the weight of you
So I'll love my son, like you loved one
It's now my turn to follow a better day
Think of a better way
I'll love my son, like you loved one
I will become another part of you
I'll carry the weight of you
I want you to know I have no place to go
Chorus:
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
When you drop 6 bottles of your best perfume, I'll turn them into 12
Standing on the shoulders that are slating you I slay them all myself
Your last order of your cheap old wine has never helped your case,
I'll come running with a crate of champagne to brighten up your face
So don't call me crazy, cause it's all for you lady!
Chorus:
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
You're the... my type of girl
Without you I stay a little warm
I'll come running when the window make a chime.
Cause if I take your words in the song I sing,
Like the rock the paper, the scissors that sort of thing
The question is waiting in the pretty scene, how long has it been?
So don't call me crazy, cause it's all for you lady!
Chorus:
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
I'll come running, come running, when the wind don't make a chime
Come running, I'll come running, when the wind don't make a chime
Don't make a chime for me and you
Chorus: (x4)
How long has it been since you've fell in love with a boy like me?
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
I never hear my sweetheart calling
I wonder if the truth stands tall
(Cause?) I'm playing your game
Fighting for your name
I'm sticking around cause I'm lonely
... Cause I'm lonely
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
Although you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad
I never hear your young heart bleeding
My ear is never close to unwanted taps
But I won't let your drip run dry
I'll live with your lie
I'm sticking around cause I'm lonely
... Sticking around cause I'm lonely
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
Although you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad
So when I come I hope you know
That you'll have no place left to go
And I wont find no room in here
For you to chuck me out on my ear
I wasn't born to make you happy
I wasn't born to make you sad
Although you see my sweet surrender
You're still the bitch that makes me mad
Without the L
Without the E
What is love to (for?) you and me
Without the L
Without the E
What is love to (for?) you and me
I wasn't born to make you happy
There's a mile long queue at the chippy
I wish I was at my Gran's for tea
These people call me their friend, but they don't think the same as me
Are you fed up chasing your tail round this housing scheme
Drinkin' your drink now
And staying up too early in the morning
I wander through the streets of Dundee
Mum said you shouldn't walk them alone
A fight's a fight, 'n' that's quite alright
But please leave the tools at home
You lower standards and expectations of love
You never aim for people that you think are levels above
You're always chasing the same skirts round
Round the local pub
Where were you when I needed you?
Up the posh end of town
You're supposed to protect and serve
Lying in some euphoric vibe
Stories being told, of a girl you'd like to ride,
She seems nice, to the blind man with a drink
But oh man what a tea leaf, no second chance to think
She'll say she's changed, but I know her game,
She'll cane all of your baggies, and leave someone to blame
So I'm never gonna ask her
Don't let the girl come in, Don't let the girl come in,
She'll put you in a spin, take everythin'
Just don't let her in
I enter in, the middle of the night,
This house it seems so empty, I can feel her kickin about,
The door goes crash, and out goes my guitar
Musn't worry much, cos next doors never far,
So I chap the door, and out she comes,
Lookin rather smokin', as if nothin has occured
So I'm never gonna ask her
Don't let the girl come in, Don't let the girl come in,
She'll put you in a spin, take everythin'
Just don't let her in
Just don't let her in
Don't let the girl come in, cos you know,
You know she'll put you, put you in a spin
So stay away, don't answer open,
Answer nothing more,
What's is goin' on in your house.
On in your house
On in your house
On in your house
Don't let the girl come in, Don't let the girl come in,
She'll put you in a spin, take everythin'
Just don't let her in
Don't let the girl come in, (don't let her in)
Don't let the girl come in, (don't let her in)
She'll put you in a spin, take everythin'
Just don't let her in
Just don't let her in

The girl that I've been speakin' to my whole life, (bye bye bye bye bible)
Has left me for my friend (bye bye bye bye faith)
You have a face for the radio,
But I know you'd like to see it in a show,
Claiming to be the next best everything,
Which way will you go?
You're a little smarter than most of us,
You run so fast sometimes it's hard to see you for dust,
Finding some time for you, it tortures me,
Which way will you go?
Wages on a Friday,
Spent on a Saturday,
Lend me a fiver,
Won't do that again,
Oh your trust is not too strong.
You're arrogance in a bag,
Won't spare you a fag,
Superstar wannabe,
Says it comes naturally,
Cemented in your own feeble way,
He watches trainspotting, fifteen times a week,
Thinking it's making him oh so unique,
PC on summer nights and football in the rain,
Doesn't matter how far he is,
He always has money for the train,
Which way will you go?
Nothing against you, love in my heart,
You're really a nice guy, I've known it from the start,
Your conscience is eager, to know where you lie,
Pushing your limits, give it up and remember you can cry.
Remember you can cry, and I know, and I know, and I know that you can cry
Wages on a Friday,
Spent on a Saturday,
Lend me a tenner,
Won't do that again,
Oh your trust is not too strong.
You're arrogance in a bag,
Won't spare you a fag,
Superstar wannabe,
Says it comes naturally,
cemented In your own feeble way.
You have a face for the radio,
I don't know what I have done,
But I'm sure I will in the next five seconds,
You see I have a telephone,
When people call they don't stop ringing for me,
Last night was as mystery,
So the words can create a picture for my mind to see,
Pictures seem to make me sweat,
Something in the morning my sisters told me I would regret.
Refuse to believe what you just told me,
Refuse to believe till you tell me slowly,
Or bring me down gradually.
Aremsee he under-stands,
He's not afraid to tell me about my late night shenanigans,
See I was put here for the world to see,
You can't tell me where I'm going or tell me who I'd like to be,
I don't intend to stop my drinkin',
I know I should and it's clever thinkin',
But don't tell me...
I don't know what I have done, but I'm sure I will,
In the next five seconds,
You see I have a telephone,
And when people call they don't stop ringing for me.
Things they change as you get older,
No longer a devil on each shoulder,
I met a girl at the Cambel town bar
You know the one that plays the guitar
'Yes' she said some things that you shouldn't say
Wonder if she remembers
She was wasted anyway
It's the next day
Who remembers what
No-one knows
Everybody's too afraid to talk about it anyway
These particular times everyone's out of line
It makes no change it's so strange
Everybody's walking around so deranged
She asked me to play her that song everyone likes
She said she'd listen as the day is long and dance shed dance into the night
We talked of dreams, romance and excess
Something inside of her tells me she climbs to be the best
This you have to respect
Stuck in her dead in job
And yes she said, some things that she should not say
She wonders if I remember
I was wasted anyway
It's the next week
We stop and speak
Happens all the times
It's like a trend and it totally drives me round the bend
These particular times
Everyone's out of line it makes no change
It's strange
I'm comin' down, comin' down,
It took so long for me to come around,
They tell you, it smashes brain,
Drain you of all the blood you've left in your veins.
If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me the time to clear my head tonight,
With these stones you cast so fast,
Makes me think that we will never last.
I hear it, do you hear that sound,
Hear that now aloud, it's comin' down.
I'm not eager to be mean, I'm eager to be anyone I want to be.
If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me time to clear my head tonight,
With these stones you cast so fast,
I felt I was one with you,
You probably didn't see,
Oh I'm a nervous one,
My pain it comes easily.
Should I revolve my world around you,
Should I revolve my light around you,
Claudia, Claudia,
You're taunting you're teasing,
You know I have feelings too,
They're all for you,
Claudia, Claudia,
Provoking my heart,
And I still haven't broken the code,
To your heart now, oh no,
I blame it on your upbringing,
You were made around the side of a van,
You call me the trusting one,
Trust it comes easy man,
Should I revolve my world around you,
Should I revolve my light around you,
Claudia, Claudia,
You're taunting you're teasing,
You know I have feelings too,
They're all for you,
Claudia, Claudia,
Provoking my heart,
And I still haven't broken the code,
I love it when you come, I love it when you go.
You bring my tea to the table, but your cooking's always slow.
Your stealing all my light, in my only precious days.
You know we're living by the night, I hope your candle comes my way
I hope your candle comes my way
I hope your candle comes my way.
When I'm laughing,(You're doing a little more) I'll be crying
When I'm living,(You're doing a little more) I'll be dying.
I love it when you come, I love it when you go.
You know, my Jupiter and Mars are covered in your snow.
So cover up your eyes then cover up your ears.
When I'm laughing (You're doing a little more)or the crying.
When I'm living (You're doing a little more)of the dying.
When I'm laughing (You're doing a little more)or the crying.
When I'm living (You're doing a little more)of the dying.
So cover up your eyes and cover up your ears.
Don't feel me crash done no more.
So cover up your eyes and cover up your ears.
I love it when you come, I love it when you go.
You know I love it when you come, I love it when you go.
So cover up these eyes, and cover up these ears.
When I'm laughing (You're doing a little more)oh, I'm crying
When I'm living (You're doing a little more)and I'm not dying.
When I'm laughing (You're doing a little more)or the crying.
When I'm living (You're doing a little more)of the dying.
When I'm laughing, I'm crying.
When I'm living, I'm not dying
When I'm laughing, I'm crying.
IVfeel like a sun without a sky
Feel like a socket without an eye
Feel like a house but not a home
Just a dog without a bone
How can you wink without an eye
Like a greivance but with no cry
A house, but not a home and I don't know why
Just a pig without a sty
The best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
Feel like a sail but I've been slashed
A viglante that's been unmasked
Feel like a raft, but not a ship
Sinking on this south facing tip
I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave me
And I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave me
But the best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
Together again woah
Together again
Have you ever felt like a story untold?
A catwalk model that's growing old
Hard to imagine what's more important
The rainbow, the pot or the gold
I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave me
And I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave me
Thinking about what it is that made you change
Was it the quarks, the dosh or the dames
When did I become so deranged
Think of the time when blood ran through your veins
When she looked as sweet as a candy cane
As she looks through the window paine
Through the window pain and the rain
I say it again and again, the best lasts forever
The best lasts forever
The best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave me
And I know that before when you answered the door
I told you and the world to leave mr
I've been on my knees on so many streets
Not just the ones in Dundee
Fell on my face been a legless disgrace
Ten thousand laughing at me
But still, the best lasts forever
The best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
The best lasts forever woah
I love the dress sense and the colour of your hair
The way you say that people who are working
they are aiming to be posh my dear
People flocked around you by the smokeys in our school
Teachers they contained in all anger as you
regulary, broken their rules. And everyone done the pill.But solvent abuse it can KILL!
The first taste of heaven there was
splattered on your screen. Floating with the schemers and the part-time Halloweeners and the Lochee team and everyone the pill. But solvent abuse can kill
5 Rebbecca's all of them are close to me 1 of them's a cook, 1 of them does history 1 of them's my niece and 1 lives close the 1 I love the most has turned into a Junky
So under satisfied with minors at your age, and something so deceiving when you find yourself conceiving on a holy day
So anachieveable with minors at your height, and something so deceiving when you find yourself conceiving on a Sunday Night
And everyone's on the pill. But solvent abuse can Kill
5 Rebbecca's all of them are close to me 1 of them's a cook, 1 of then does history 1 of them's my niece and 1 lives close the 1 I love the most has turned into a Junky
Poor Miss Rebbecca you'll be missed my girl. If it wasn't for the treasure you'd be rich my girl, saved you from the terror and your so-called friends. Took a back seater but they kicked it in the end though
You're sitting really cosy in your humble black cave doesn't seem likely for a girl your age
Us cupid little kids can never look back, when one of us is lying in the big brown bag
5 Rebbecca's all of them are close to me 1 of them's a cook, 1 of them does history 1 of them's my niece and 1 lives close the 1 I love the most has turned into a Junky
I love the dress sense and the colour of your hair
The way you say that people who are working
Listening to you, not listening
This is the wasteland, we call this the wasteland
Where fewer little posh boys can't believe we treasure beer cans
Where'd you get those fans? Found them at the shop, man
Peculiar place to find them but they're dedicated View fans
You think it's cynical to this home a miracle
It's not a miracle, we're just so strangely typical
Initiate in one gang, initiation is tough, man
Imprisonment is on the cards, we're heading for the quick sand
Sign on the brew 'cause there's nothing to do
Nothing to do but listen to you
Not listening to you, my parents told me not to
Listening to you, my parents told me not to
This is the wasteland, our idealistic wasteland
Regurgitated circle of a seven hour shop stand
So steal a car, chief, the police are off the beat, thief
They'll find it funny when they see insurance relief
Sign on the brew 'cause there's nothing to do
Nothing to do but listen to you
Not listening to you, my parents told me not to
Listening to you, look, my parents told me not to
Think you're a hard prick, something quite sadistic
No, you weren't sadistic when he'd done you with the brick wick
Your land is boring, so very, very boring
You wouldn't need to wonder if it's raining or it's snowing
We call this the wasteland, wasteland, wasteland
Idealistic wasteland, wasteland, wasteland
This is the wasteland, your trick is the wasteland
Idealistic circle of a little bit of wasteland
take a look at the red light my fever spreads
I want to make you bad and disillusionized
feel the pain of the spotlight I am your life
pick up your telephon believe what I say
it's a view of your whole life are you surprised?
What can I do for you? Your life is a lie
take a look at the spotlight it's all the same
what has you done for me? That's all what I say
I've been working hard
go my way too smart
I believe in god
I'm afraid in blood
what else can I do?
Make my heaven blue
give me anything
I think I'm everything
it's the sound of an earthquake you feel the end
your name flies with the wind and light is far away
what's the matter with your love you are so bored
all girls you ever had said: you must be alone
what's the matter with your love
what's the matter with your life...
take a look at the spotlight it's all the same
what has you done for me? That's all what I say

A view is what can be seen in a range of visual perception (i.e., from a certain perspective). The word view may imply a scenic outlook or extraordinary vantage point:
“ | The barrier Rhine hath flashed, through battle-smoke, On men who gaze heart-smitten by the view, As if all Germany had felt the shock! |
” |
—William Wordsworth, The Germans on the Heights of Hochheim (1816)[1] |
View may also mean:
Laws or regulations in various jurisdictions may protect a view as an easement, preventing property owners from constructing buildings that would block the view from another location. For example, planning regulations in London protect the view of various historical buildings, such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.

Michelle Malkin |
Michelle Malkin (née Maglalang; born October 20, 1970) is an American conservative blogger, political commentator and author.[2][3] Her weekly syndicated column appears in a number of newspapers and websites.[2] She is a Fox News Channel contributor and has been a guest on MSNBC, C-SPAN, and national radio programs. Malkin has written four books published by Regnery Publishing.
Contents |
Malkin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Philippine citizens Rafaela (née Perez) – a homemaker and teacher – and Apolo DeCastro Maglalang, who was then a physician-in-training.[1] Several months prior to Malkin's birth, her parents had immigrated to the United States on an employer-sponsored visa.[4] After her father finished his medical training, the family moved[5] to Absecon, New Jersey. Malkin has a younger brother.[6] She has described her parents as Reagan Republicans who were "not incredibly politically active."[1]
Malkin, a Roman Catholic,[1][7] attended Holy Spirit Roman Catholic High School, where she edited the school newspaper and aspired to become a concert pianist.[1] Following her graduation in 1988, she enrolled at Oberlin College.[1] Malkin originally planned to pursue a bachelor's degree in music, but changed her major to English.[1] During her college years, she worked as a press inserter, tax preparation aide, and network news librarian.[8] While attending Oberlin, Malkin was hired to write for an independent, right-of-center student newspaper by fellow student Jesse Dylan Malkin. Her first article for the paper heavily criticized Oberlin's affirmative action program and received a "hugely negative response" from other students on campus.[1] She graduated in 1992[9] and later described her alma mater as "radically left-wing."[1][10]
Malkin began her journalism career at the Los Angeles Daily News, working as a columnist from 1992 to 1994. In 1995, she worked in Washington, D.C., as a journalism fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute,[11] a free-market, anti-government regulation, libertarian think tank.[12][13] In 1996, she moved to Seattle, Washington, where she wrote columns for The Seattle Times. Malkin became a nationally-syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate in 1999.[14][15]
For many years, Malkin was a frequent commentator for Fox News Channel and a regular guest host of The O'Reilly Factor. In 2007, she announced that she would not return to The O'Reilly Factor, claiming that Fox News had mishandled a dispute over derogatory statements made about her by Geraldo Rivera in a Boston Globe interview.[16] Since 2007, she has concentrated on her writing, blogging and public speaking, although she still appears on television occasionally, especially with Sean Hannity on Fox News and Fox & Friends once a week. In December 2009, Malkin began writing for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
In August 2004, following claims by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that presidential candidate John Kerry had exaggerated his record during the Vietnam War, Malkin appeared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews and stated that there were "legitimate questions" over whether Kerry's wounds were "self-inflicted." When host Chris Matthews asked her eleven times whether she meant Kerry had shot himself on purpose, she dodged the question,[17] but ultimately said that other soldiers had made this claim.[citation needed] Malkin criticized Matthews and the MSNBC staff in her blog the following day.[17] Georgia Senator Zell Miller accused Matthews of "browbeating" Malkin.[18]
Malkin has written four books, all published by Regnery Publishing.
In June 2004 she launched a political blog, MichelleMalkin.com.[35] A 2007 memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee described Malkin as one of the five "best-read national conservative bloggers",[36] and Technorati ranks MichelleMalkin.com consistently in its "Top 100 blogs of all types".[37] The people search company PeekYou claims Malkin has the largest digital footprint of any political blogger.[38]
After Malkin criticized hip hop artist Akon for "degrading women" in a Vent episode, Akon's record label, Universal Music Group, forced YouTube to remove the video by issuing a DMCA takedown notice,[39] but decided to retract this notice[40] after the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined Malkin and Hot Air in contesting the removal as a misuse of copyright law.[41]
In an interview with BusinessWeek magazine in July 2007, Malkin said, "We’re doing what few other blogs can do. We serve up terabytes of bandwidth... I'm shelling out for gold-plated servers. That's expensive, and we want to be able to withstand huge traffic surges."[42]
She continued to contribute frequently to MichelleMalkin.com, and in June 2007, she revamped it, moving it to a larger server on WordPress.[43] With the new redesign, she re-enabled comments on her blog, which she said she had disallowed after February 2005 due to a high level of obscene and racist comments.[44] Subscribed readers could once again post comments, although registration for the comments is rarely open. Malkin states her policy thus: "I may allow as much or as little opportunity for registration as I choose, in my absolute discretion, and I may close particular comment threads."[45]
Malkin was one of several bloggers who questioned the credibility and even the existence of Iraqi police Captain "Jamil Hussein" who had been used as a source by the Associated Press in over 60 stories about the Iraq war. The controversy started in November 2006 when the AP reported that six Iraqis had been burned alive as they left a mosque and that four mosques had been destroyed, citing Hussein as one of its sources. In January 2007, Malkin visited Baghdad, and stated, "the Iraqi Ministry of Interior says disputed Associated Press source Jamil Hussein does exist. At least one story he told the AP just doesn’t check out: The Sunni mosques that as Hussein claimed and AP reported as 'destroyed,' 'torched' and 'burned and blown up' are all still standing. So the credibility of every AP story relying on Jamil Hussein remains dubious."[46] Malkin has issued a correction for her denial of Capt. Hussein's existence.[47]
In April 2006, Students Against War (SAW), a campus group at University of California, Santa Cruz, staged a protest against the presence of military recruiters on campus, and sent out a press release containing contact details (names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses) of three student leaders for use by reporters. Malkin included these contact details in a blog column entitled "Seditious Santa Cruz vs. America".[48] Malkin claimed the contact information was originally taken from SAW's own website, but that later SAW had removed it and had "wiped" the "cached version".[49] The students asked Malkin to remove the contact details from her blog, but Malkin reposted them several times[50] writing in her blog: "I am leaving it up. If you are contacting them, I do not condone death threats or foul language. As for SAW, my message is this: You are responsible for your individual actions. Other individuals are responsible for theirs. Grow up and take responsibility."[48]
SAW remarked: "Due to the continued irresponsible actions of some bloggers, members of the group have received numerous death threats and anti-Semitic comments through phone calls and emails."[51] A blog war ensued. Malkin claimed that she received hostile e-mails[52] then her private home address, phone number, photos of her neighborhood and maps to her house were published on several websites. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported receiving an email from Malkin saying that this forced her to remove one of her children from school and move her family.[53]
Another controversy involving private addresses began on July 1, 2006, when Malkin and other bloggers commented on a New York Times Travel section article that had featured the town where Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld owned summer homes. The article included a picture of Rumsfeld's long tree-lined driveway that showed a birdhouse and small portion of the housefront.[54] Malkin declared that this story was part of "a concerted, organized effort to dig up and publicize the private home information of prominent conservatives in the media and blogosphere to intimidate them." In fact, the photos of Rumsfeld's house were taken with Rumsfeld's permission.[55]
On April 24, 2006, Hot Air, a "conservative Internet broadcast network" went into operation, with Malkin as founder/CEO.[56] She intended the blog to provide "content and analysis you can't get anywhere else on a daily basis–both on the blog and in our original video features".[57] Her staffers included 'Allahpundit' and Bryan Preston, though the latter was replaced by Ed Morrissey on February 25, 2008.[58] In February 2010, Hotair.com was bought by Salem Communications and is no longer administered by Malkin.[59]
Malkin believes that the custom of granting automatic U.S. citizenship at birth to children of foreign tourists, to temporary, foreign workers and to "anchor babies" delivered by illegal aliens on American soil undermines the integrity of citizenship. She argues that the custom of blanket birthright citizenship is supported neither by the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment nor by American legal precedent.[60]
Malkin also opposes sanctuary cities, in which local authorities do not enforce all national immigration laws or coordinate with agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following the August 2007 execution-style murder of three college students in Newark, New Jersey, she repeated her criticisms of politicians' posture toward sanctuary cities. In particular, she criticized former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's proposal for a tamper-proof identification card with this comment:
"What Rudy-come-lately fails to comprehend is that there are already multiple alien tracking databases mandated by federal law that have yet to be fully implemented, integrated and used. The reason they don’t work is because open-borders interests have sabotaged them by restricting funding for them, objecting to them on civil liberties grounds, and pushing local and state governments to forbid public employees from checking them to verify citizenship status. Ring a bell, Rudy?"[61]
She supports coordination with federal authorities through the use of Section 287(g) of the IIRIRA to investigate, detain, and arrest aliens on civil and criminal grounds.[62][63] Malkin supports the detention and deportation of some immigrants, regardless of legal status, on national security grounds.[21]
During an appearance as a news analyst on the roundtable segment of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on August 2, 2009, she explained why she opposed another 13-week extension of unemployment benefits: "If you put enough government cheese in front of people they are going to just keep eating it and kicking the can down the road... people will just delay getting a job until the three weeks before the benefits run out."[64]
In a February 2012 column, Malkin called the "War on Women" a false narrative, arguing rather that, "It's the progressive left in this country that has viciously and systematically slimed female conservatives for their beliefs."[65]
At Oberlin, she began dating Jesse Malkin.[66] Jesse was granted a Rhodes Scholarship to begin study at Oxford University in 1991.[67] They married in 1993, and have two children. Jesse worked as an associate policy analyst and economist focusing on healthcare issues for the RAND Corporation.[68] In 2004, Malkin reported on her website that Jesse had left a "lucrative health-care consulting job" to be a stay-at-home dad.[66][69]
In 2006, Malkin gave a lecture at her alma mater, Oberlin College, discussing racism, among other topics.[70] She refuted allegations that she had been insensitive to the "plight of minorities" by listing several racial epithets that had been used against her, and by relating a lesson she learned from her mother for which she is "eternally grateful."[70] When in kindergarten, Malkin went home in tears one day because her classmates had called her a racist name. But, her mother comforted her with the words, "....Everyone has prejudice."[70]
The Malkin family lived in North Bethesda, Maryland,[71] but relocated to Colorado Springs, Colorado[72] in November 2008.

Joy Behar (born Josephina Victoria Occhiuto; born October 7, 1942)[1] is an American comedian, writer, actress, and a co-host of the talk show The View. Behar had a commentary program, entitled The Joy Behar Show, on CNN's sister network, HLN.[2] It was cancelled on November 17, 2011.[3]

Behar, an Italian-American, was born Josephina Victoria Occhiuto in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on October 7, 1942. Her mother, Rose (née Carbone), was a seamstress, and her father, Gino Occhiuto, was a truck driver for Coca-Cola.[4][5] Her grandfather was Giuseppe Occhiuto born in Fagnano Castello, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy.[6] She started off her career as a teacher at Lindenhurst High School. There she taught English class.[7]
Joy Behar got her start in show business in the early 1980s as a stand up comedian, including appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, and The New Show, a short lived Lorne Michaels NBC project. In 1987 she had a talk show on Lifetime Television called 'Way Off Broadway'. From there she continued to work the comedy club circuit, was a regular on NBC's Baby Boom, and had minor film rolls including Cookie, This Is My Life, and Manhattan Murder Mystery. She also was a WABC (AM) radio talk show host, and made appearances on HBO Comedy Specials 'One Night Stand' and 'Women Of The Night 2',
In 1997 Behar became one of the original cast members of Barbara Walters's ABC television creation, The View. Originally, Behar appeared only on the days when Walters was away from the show; ultimately, Behar became a regular co-host, with the panel expanding to five when Walters rejoined. Behar often hosts a segment called "Joy's Comedy Corner" in which she presents up-and-coming comedians.
Star Jones, former co-host on The View, and Behar had well-publicized disputes. On March 27, 2006, Star Jones called in to the show to discuss a recent operation that she had undergone. After talking with the show's co-hosts, Behar abruptly stated to Jones, "OK, Star. That's enough about you. On to us. Bye. Keep your [breasts] perky!"[8] Jones then responded, "Even today, you [Behar] are still a bitch."[8]
In August 2009 Behar, alongside her co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Barbara Walters and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, won the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Talk Show Host. It follows over a decade of nominations for The View. None of the co-hosts of the show traveled from New York to Los Angeles to attend the ceremony, however.[9]
Behar has also made theater appearances in The Food Chain and The Vagina Monologues. Behar wrote a book of humorous essays and stories called Joy Shtick — Or What is the Existential Vacuum and Does It Come with Attachments?, published in 1999. She has also written a children's book called Sheetzucacapoopoo: My Kind of Dog, published in 2006.
Behar frequently incorporates her Italian-American culture into her comedy and once told Charlie Rose on his PBS program that her grandmother kept a picture of Mussolini in her home.
She appeared on the eighth season of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown and finished in fourth place, behind Robin Tunney, Christopher Meloni and Macy Gray, but ahead of Andy Dick. She played for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
Beginning in 2007, she has occasionally filled in as a guest host on Larry King Live. On June 11, 2009, Behar announced that she would be hosting her own news/talk program on CNN's HLN beginning in the fall of 2009, titled The Joy Behar Show. She did not leave The View, but worked on both shows simultaneously.[2] The final broadcast of the The Joy Behar Show was on December 15, 2011.
Behar played the part of "Dr. Lucy" in the 2011 comedy film Hall Pass.[10]
Occhiuto married Joe Behar in January 1965; they divorced in 1981. They have one daughter, Eve (b. 1970).[11] Joy Behar has been in a relationship with Steve Janowitz since July 10, 1982, whom she called her 'spousal equivalent'. On March 17, 2009, Behar announced on The View that she might eventually marry Janowitz.[12] Behar called off the engagement three months later[13] because she wanted people to stop talking about it. On August 11, 2011, Behar married Janowitz.[14]
Behar holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Queens College (class of 1964), and a Master of Arts degree in English education from the State University of New York at Stony Brook (class of 1966). She taught English in the late 1960s and early 1970s at Lindenhurst High School on Long Island, New York. She has identified herself as agnostic.[15] She resides in Manhattan. Behar became a grandmother on February 28, 2011 when her daughter had a son, Luca.[16] Behar is a member of the Delta Zeta sorority.[17]
