Mardin is one of the oldest settled areas in upper Mesopotamia. Excavations done in the 1920s discovered remains in the area that dated to 4000 BCE. The first known civilization were the Subarians who were then succeeded in 3000BCE by the Hurrians. The Elamites gained control around 2230 BCE. and were followed by the Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians, Romans and Byzantines. In 692, the Muslim Ummayads arrived and introduced Islam. The Abbasid Caliphate based in Baghdad replaced them in 824. Factions of the Seljuk Turks fought each other over Mardin as it changed hands many times before it was finally taken by Nahm ad-din Ilghazi, the bey of the Artukids, a Turkish dynasty founded by the Seljuk Emir Artuk. During the Artukid period, many of Mardin's historic buildings were constructed, including several Mosques, Palaces, Madrassas and Hans. The lands of the Artukid dynasty fell to the Mongols sometime between 1235 and 1243, but the Mongols never directly governed the area. The Artukid family ruling Mardin became vassal state of the Mongol Empire.[4] During the battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the Artuqid (Artık) ruler revolted against the Mongol rule. Hulegu's general and Chupan's ancestor, Koke-Ilge of the Jalayir, stormed the city and Hulegu appointed the rebel's son, al-Nasir, governor of Mardin. Although, Hulegu suspected the latter's loyalty for a while, thereafter the Artukids remained loyal unlike nomadic Bedoun and Kurd tribes in the south western frontier. The Mongol Ilkhanids considered them important allies. For this loyalty they shown, Artukids were given more lands in 1298 and 1304. Mardin later passed to the Akkoyunlu, a federation of Turkic tribes that controlled territory all the way to the Caspian Sea. In 1517, Mardin was annexed by the Ottomans under Selim the Grim. During this time, Mardin was administered by a governor directly appointed under the Ottoman Sultan's authority. In 1923, with the founding of the Republic of Turkey, Mardin was made the administrative capital of a province named after it. #mardin #travel #holiday #tourist #tourism #turkey

Mardin Mardin is a city in southeastern Turkey. The capital of Mardin Province, it is known for the Artuqid (Artıklı or Artuklu in Turkish) architecture of its old city, and for its strategic location on a rocky hill near the Tigris River that rises steeply over the flat plains.

Ali Baba und die 40 Räuber - Spielfilm 1943

Order: Reorder
Duration: 83:19
Updated: 12 Feb 2014

Das berühmteste Märchen aus "1001 Nacht", verknüpft mit historischen Tatsachen: 1528 erobert der Mongolenfürst Hulagu Khan Bagdad. Ali, Sohn eines durch Verrat ermordeten Kalifen, flieht zu den berühmt-berüchtigten Räubern in die Berge. Bis alles zu einem guten Ende findet, gibt es zahlreiche Kämpfe, Liebe, Intrigen und Verrat - und all dies in aufwändig restaurierten Technicolor-Farben. Ein klassischer Abenteuerfilm, der auch nach mehr als 60 Jahren noch durch seine Opulenz besticht. Im Alter von zwölf Jahren verliert Ali (als Kind: Scotty Beckett; als Erwachsener: Jon Hall), alles, was ihm lieb und teuer ist. Mit seinem Vater gerät er in einen Hinterhalt - eine Intrige, die vom neuen Machthaber in Bagdad, dem Mongolenherrscher Hulagu Khan (Kurt Katch) und dem Verräter Prinz Cassim (Frank Puglia) angezettelt wurde. Aber der kleine Ali kann entkommen und findet Zuflucht bei den berühmten Räubern in den Bergen. Ihr Anführer, der alte Baba (Fortunio Bonanova), ist von dem unerschrockenen Jungen mit dem schweren Schicksal beeindruckt und gibt ihm ein neues Zuhause. Zehn Jahre vergehen, und immer noch regieren die Mongolen Bagdad mit eiserner Faust. Mit Hilfe der schönen Amara (als Kind: Yvette Duguay; als Erwachsene: Maria Montez) wollen sie Ali und seinen Männern eine Falle stellen. Amara ist nicht klar, dass Ali, nun Anführer der Räuber, ihre Liebe aus Kindertagen ist; nur ihr Vater Prinz Cassim weiß das. Als Ali gefangen genommen wird, unternimmt der alte Baba einen erfolgreichen Befreiungsschlag, den er allerdings selbst mit dem Leben bezahlt. Einer seiner Männer bringt daraufhin Amara in das Versteck der Räuber - zu einem Wieder-sehen mit Ali nach langen Jahren. Doch ein gemeinsames Leben ist unvorstellbar, so lange Ali auf Rache sinnt. Er schickt Amara, die bereits Hulagu Khan versprochen ist, zurück zum Khan und ihrem Vater. Dort zwingt Amara den Vater, ihr die Wahrheit über seinen Verrat an Ali und seinem Vater zu gestehen, doch schließlich ist sie gezwungen, dem Heiratswunsch des Khan zu entsprechen, um das Leben ihres Vaters zu retten. An ihrem Hochzeitstag verschaffen sich Ali und seine Männer mit Hilfe eines Tricks Zugang zur Stadt und zum Palast. In seiner Wut über den unvorhergesehen Angriff tötet der Khan Cassim. Es kommt zum Zweikampf zwischen Ali und dem Khan, den Amara schließlich entscheidet. Die grausamen Besatzer werden aus Bagdad vertrieben. Unter der Regentschaft Alis und der schönen Amara kann das Land endlich aufatmen. Hauptdarsteller Jon Hall wurde 1913 geboren. Wegen seines muskulösen und athletischen Körpers wurde er häufig in Kostümfilmen besetzt, zu denen auch "Ali Baba und die vierzig Räuber" gehört. Neben seiner Film- und TV-Karriere (er drehte auch eine TV-Serie), suchte er nach anderen wirtschaftlichen Stand-beinen - so betrieb er zeitweise einen Verleih für Unterwasserkamera-Aus-rüstungen, aber auch eine Flugschule. Als sein Gesundheitszustand durch die Behandlung von Blasenkrebs rapide verfiel, erschoss er sich 1979. Partnerin Maria Montez wurde 1918 in der Dominikanischen Republik geboren und starb bereits 1951 an Herzversagen. Obwohl manche Kritiker ihr Talentlosigkeit vorwerfen, wurde sie - ebenfalls oft in Kostümfilmen besetzt- ein großer Star, auch als "Königin von Technicolor" gefeiert. In zweiter Ehe war sie mit dem französischen Schauspieler Jean-Pierre Aumont verheiratet. Ihre gemeinsame Tochter Tina Marquand wurde wie die Mutter Schauspielerin. Gegenspieler Kurt Katch als Hulagu Khan wurde 1896 in Polen geboren und starb 1958. Er studierte bei Max Reinhardt und spielte an zahlreichen jüdischen Theatern Europas, bevor er 1937 in die USA emigrierte. In Hollywood etablierte er sich als Charakterdarsteller - Rollen wie die des Hulagu Khan wurden sein Markenzeichen.

History Of The Abbasid Caliphate

Order: Reorder
Duration: 37:19
Updated: 03 Feb 2014

The Abbasid Caliphate (Arabic: الخلافة العباسية‎ / ALA-LC: al-Khilāfah al-'Abbāsīyyah), was the second of the Islamic caliphates to succeed the Prophet Muhammad. The Abbasid dynasty descended from the Prophet's youngest uncle, Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (566--653 CE). They ruled as caliphs from their capital in Baghdad, in modern Iraq, after taking over authority of the Muslim empire from the Umayyads in 750 CE (132 AH). The Abbasid caliphate first centered their government in Kufa, but in 762 the caliph Al-Mansur founded the city of Baghdad, north of the Persian city of Ctesiphon. The choice of a capital so close to Persia proper reflects a growing reliance on Persian bureaucrats, most notably of the Barmakid family, to govern the territories conquered by Arab Muslims, as well as an increasing inclusion of non-Arab Muslims in the ummah. Despite this cooperation, the Abbasids of the 9th century were forced to cede authority over the Persian provinces to local dynastic emirs who only nominally acknowledged their suzerainty. This marked the beginning of a wider breakdown of Abbasid authority, with the loss of Al-Andalus and Maghreb to the Umayyads, Ifriqiya to the Aghlabids, and Egypt to the Shi'ite Caliphate of the Fatimids. The political power of the caliphs largely ended with the rise of the Buyids and the Seljuq Turks. Although Abbasid leadership over the vast Islamic empire was gradually reduced to a ceremonial religious function, the dynasty retained control over its Mesopotamian demesne. The capital city of Baghdad became a center of science, culture, philosophy and invention during the Golden Age of Islam. This period of cultural fruition ended in 1258 with the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols under Hulagu Khan. The Abbasid caliphate, and Muslim culture in general, recentered itself in the Mamluk capital of Cairo in 1261. The dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt, when the position of caliph was formally surrendered to the Ottoman Sultan Selim I. The Abbasid caliphs were Arabs descended from Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, one of the youngest uncles of Muhammad and of the same Banu Hashim clan. The Abbasids claimed to be the true successors of Muhammad in replacing the Umayyad descendants of Banu Umayya by virtue of their closer relationship to the Prophet. Coin of the Abbasids, Baghdad, Iraq, 765. The Abbasids also distinguished themselves from the Umayyads by attacking their moral character and administration in general. According to Ira Lapidus, "The Abbasid revolt was supported largely by Arabs, mainly the aggrieved settlers of Marw with the addition of the Yemeni faction and their Mawali". The Abbasids also appealed to non-Arab Muslims, known as mawali, who remained outside the kinship-based society of the Arabs and were perceived as a lower class within the Umayyad empire. Muhammad ibn 'Ali, a great-grandson of Abbas, began to campaign for the return of power to the family of Muhammad, the Hashimites, in Persia during the reign of Umar II. During the reign of Marwan II, this opposition culminated in the rebellion of Ibrahim the Imam, the fourth in descent from Abbas. Supported by the province of Khorasan, Iran and the Shi'i Arabs, he achieved considerable success, but was captured in the year 747 and died in prison; some hold that he was assassinated. The quarrel was taken up by his brother Abdallah, known by the name of Abu al-'Abbas as-Saffah, who defeated the Umayyads in 750 in the Battle of the Zab near the Great Zab and was subsequently proclaimed caliph. Immediately after their victory, Abu al-'Abbas as-Saffah sent his forces to Central Asia, where his forces fought against Tang expansion during the Battle of Talas (the Abbasids were known to their opponents as the "Black robed Tazi" (黑衣大食: hēiyī Dàshí), "Tazi" being a Tang dynasty borrowing from Persian to denote 'Arabs'. Barmakids, who were instrumental in building Baghdad; introduced the world's first recorded paper mill in Baghdad, thus beginning a new era of intellectual rebirth in the Abbasid domain. Within 10 years, the Abbasids built another renowned paper mill in the Umayyad capital of Córdoba in Spain.

**4 October 2013**Clashes erupt at pro Morsi demonstrations in Egypt

Order: Reorder
Duration: 1:47
Updated: 16 Oct 2013

Clashes erupted in Egypt on Friday after supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi took to the streets. Heavy gunfire and explosions were heard in the centre of Cairo and tear gas was used. The government denied reports that a protester was killed. Troops were out in force to prevent the protesters reaching Tahrir Square. State TV reported further clashes in the northern Sharqiya district and to the east in Giza, as well as in the northern port city of Alexandria. There were also reports of clashes between pro-Morsi demonstrators and civilian supporters of the military government. One demonstrator was killed in the centre of the capital, according to some reports, although state TV carried a statement from the health ministry denying anyone had died. Early curfew The BBC's correspondent in Cairo, Quentin Somerville, said that by early evening all was quiet on the streets of Cairo, ahead of the early Friday curfew at 1900 local time (1700 GMT). A heavy security presence remained, he said. Hundreds of Islamist protesters have died in violence since the Egyptian military deposed Mr Morsi in July. Thousands of members of the Muslim Brotherhood have also been detained over the past two months. Several senior figures, including Mr Morsi and the movement's general guide Mohammed Badie, are being held on charges such as incitement to violence and murder. The authorities portray the crackdown as a struggle against "terrorism". Anniversary plan Our correspondent says the protesters in the capital's Agouza district were chanting "Rabaa, Rabaa", a reference to the square next to the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque where a sit-in was cleared by force in August. Later, security forces fired tear gas at Morsi supporters as they tried to march towards Tahrir Square, the focus of the mass protests against Mr Morsi and his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak. Troops also took up positions on both sides of Qasr al-Nil Bridge, which leads to the square from the Zamalek district. Before Friday's clashes, soldiers and police had tightened security around key sites in Cairo, including Tahrir Square. Morsi supporters have said they will be intensifying their demonstrations in the lead-up to Sunday's 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. Opponents who back the army have also said they will take to the streets. In a statement issued on Thursday, the Brotherhood sharply criticised the officers behind the overthrow of Mr Morsi, comparing them to Adolf Hitler, the Roman emperor Nero and the Mongol conqueror Hulagu Khan. It urged Egyptian soldiers to rebel and said it hoped that Sunday would mark a "victory by the people over those who staged a coup against them for personal gain". On Thursday, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Baroness Catherine Ashton, held talks with armed forces chief Gen Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and interim President Adly Mansour, as well as with religious leaders. "I got a real sense of everyone really trying to go forward in the right way," she told reporters afterwards. The previous day, a 16-year-old boy was killed in clashes between Morsi supporters and opponents in the Red Sea city of Suez. {baslik} {baslik} {baslik} {baslik} {baslik}

Osman I - The Founding Father Of The Ottoman Empire

Order: Reorder
Duration: 9:49
Updated: 08 Dec 2013

Osman 1 or Othman 1 or Osman Gazi (1258 -- 1326) Ottoman Turkish: Sultan Osman Ghazi, Turkish: Osman Gazi or Osman Bey or I. Osman, Osman Gazi Han), nicknamed "Kara" (black in Turkish-for his bravery), was the leader of the Ottoman Turks, and the founder of the dynasty that established and ruled the Ottoman State. The State, named after him, would prevail as a world empire for almost six centuries. It existed until 1 November 1922, after being in serious decline since the early 18th century. Osman announced the independence of his own small kingdom from the Seljuk Turks in 1299, and was acclaimed the Khan of the Kayihan tribe. The westward drive of the Mongol invasions had pushed scores of Muslims toward Osman's Anatolian principality, a power base that Osman was quick to consolidate. As the Byzantine Empire declined, the Ottoman Empire rose to take its place. Ertuğrul, Osman I's father, led the Turkic Kayi tribe west into Anatolia, from Central Asia fleeing the Mongol onslaught. His mother was named Khaima. He pledged allegiance to Sultan Kayqubad I of the Seljuk principality of Rum, who gave him permission to establish a beylik and expand it if he could, at the expense of the neighboring Byzantine provinces. This location was auspicious, as the wealthy Byzantine Empire was weakening to his West, while in the east, Muslim forces under the Seljuk Turks were splintered and distracted in the face of relentless Mongol aggression and internal bickering. Baghdad had been sacked by Hulagu Khan in 1258, the very year Osman I was born. In 1231, Ertuğrul conquered the Nicean (Byzantine) town of Thebasion, which was renamed to Söğüt and became the initial capital of his territory. Osman became chief, or Bey, upon his father's death in 1281. By this time, mercenaries were streaming into his realm from all over the Islamic world to fight against and hopefully plunder the weakening Orthodox empire. In addition, the Turkic population of Osman's emirate were constantly reinforced by a flood of refugees, fleeing from the Mongols. Of these, many were Ghazi warriors, or fighters for Islam, border fighters who believed they were fighting for the expansion or defense of Islam. Under the strong and able leadership of Osman, these warriors quickly proved a formidable force, and the foundations of the Empire were quickly laid. 23 years of age at his accession, Osman had already proven his skill as a leader and warrior. His early fortunes and exploits are favorite subjects of Ottoman writers, especially in love stories of his wooing and winning the fair Mal Hatun. These legends have been romanticized by the poetical pens which recorded them in later years. The Ottoman writers attached great importance to this legendary, dreamlike conception of the founder of their empire. Ottoman historians often dwell on the prophetic significance of his name, which means "bone-breaker", signifying the powerful energy with which he and his followers appeared to show in the following centuries of conquest. The name Osman is the Turkish variation of the Muslim name Othman, or Uthman. After the last prince of the family of Alaeddin, to whom Osman's empire was indebted for its foundation in Asia Minor, died, there was no one to compete with Osman for the headship of the Turks of the region and dominion over the whole peninsula, save the Emir of Karamanids. A long and fierce struggle between the descendants of Osman and Karamanogullari princes for ascendancy commenced in Osman's lifetime, extending through the reigns of many of his successors. Osman himself had gained some advantages over his Karamanli rival; but the weak and wealthy possessions of the Byzantine Emperor in northwest Asia Minor were more tempting marks for his ambition than the Karamanoglu plains, and it was over the cities and armies of the ailing Byzantine Empire that the triumphs of the last 26 years of Osman's life were achieved. Osman I left his mark on the history of the region. He is remembered as the founder of a powerful empire and one of the symbols of the Ghazi tradition. A considerable portion of the Turkish people called themselves Osmanlı (Ottoman) until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Osman Gazi appreciated the opinions of the famous Ahi Sheikh, Sheik Edebali, and he respected him. Osman often visited Edebali in his home at Eskisehir where a dervish group met.

Top Hilljack, This Could Get Good

Ohhh.
This could get good
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Well its a full moon at half past 8
And the cowboys have just got paid
And some hilljack fan is on the stage
Turn it up
And the parking lot is nothing but
Mud and muck and pick-up trucks
And wild women that just wanna get fired up
Oh yeah
(this could get good)
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Might make the morning grapevine
All over town
Dont wanna miss a single minute of it
Youll wanna stick around
This could get good (this could get good)
This could get good (this could get good)
This could get real real real real good
Well the place is fillin up to fast
And the fire marshal has come to cash
And drives off in his red Cadillac at show time mmm hmmm
But the lights come on
And the band kicks off
And their linin up rows of moonshine shots
Theyll be twirlin skirts on table tops in no time
And in no time
(This could get good)
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Might make the morning grapevine
All over town
Dont wanna miss a single minute of it
Youll wanna stick around
This could get good
~*~Guitar Solo~*~
Ive been keeping my eye on you
And maybe Ive got a loose screw
But Im thinking when this night gets through
We should
(This could get good)
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Might make the morning grapevine
All over town
Dont wanna miss a single minute of it
Youll wanna stick around
This could get good (this could get good)
This could get good (this could get good)
This could get real real real real good
Oh yeah yeah yeah
(This could get good) this could get good

Oh yeah
Real..good

Top Hollowick, Breaking Out

I am the atom bomb oh just you wait and see cause I don't think you know just what you do to me I am invincible with nothing left to lose you souldn't play with the fire cause you just lit the fuse
Here we go another fight just like the ones before this time I really got you stuck under my skin and I can't take it anymore I'm breaking out
Put down the cigarette pick up the telephone cause I've been trying to call I know you're not alone you said you're with your friends I'm parked in front of your house and you're with another guy
Here we go another fight just like the ones before this time I really got you stuck under my skin and I can't take it anymore I'm breaking out Can't stop me now I'm breaking out Can't stop me now
Gasoline is in the air take the match, strike anywhere I'm so high above the ground light me up, can't stop me now

Top Hollowick, KING OF THE WORLD

Mamma doesn't let me keep a gun under my bed She's afraid I'll use it on the voices in my head She's gonna treat me like a man when I am
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign Mess with your mind so you could feel my pain maybe then you'd never break my heart again
And when I'm hangin' with the angels in the sky You're in the gutter with the devil getting high You're gonna burn baby burn when I am
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign Mess with your mind so you could feel my pain maybe then you'd never break my heart again
I know that everybody wants to be invincible well maybe if we didn't have to try so hard we could start over again Now you've got to run away You'd better run every time that you see my face cause I'm the joker lookin' for my sweet revenge and yuo're so easy to blame when they make me
King of the world, only for the day I'd take the sun, over you I'd reign

Top Hollowick, There Goes Another One

I should have know it was over It's just another re-run That always ends with her driving into the sun There goes another one
There goes another one Another last chance that I'm never gonna get back
There goes another one I said that I was sorry, sorry don't mean jack I've changed my ways a little too late There goes another one
I've had my share of misfortune I've had my fun When the oasis has faded I'll come undone There goes another one
There goes another one Another last chance that I'm never gonna get back There goes another one I said that I was sorry, sorry don't mean jack I've changed my ways a little too late There goes another one
And it's all my fault I'm the one to blame And if I had it my way I'd do it all again

Top Hollowick, Just Another Day

Pills don't seem to kill the pain I'm just a voice without a name were so far gone now, so far gone
I don't need to hear you speak your empty words don't mean a thing I can't hate you if I can't love you Today is just another day today is just another disappointment shut my mouth and close my eyes I don't need a reason why today is just another day of tragedy
In life, in death, in hate I find there's nothing left to leave behind I can't hate you if I can't love you today is just another day today is just another disappointment shut my mouth and close my eyes I don't need a reason why today is just another day
When did my heart stop beating? Why do I wake up screaming? When I've got nothing left to lose
Have all the rules been broken? Have all the words been spoken? Or are we giving up to soon? We're so far gone now, so far gone pills don't seem to kill the pain I'm just a voice without a name

Top Hollowick, Not There Yet

Up in my room alone I get to thinkin' My head is always gettin' in the way if every day's the same Where are you future? My days are open, come on out to play c'mon
I'm walkin' to nowhere Lookin' at the stars above my head I want to be somewhere Somewhere I belong before I'm dead and I'm not there yet Under the city lights a fire's burnin' It's up to me to make it out alive Don't need no fairy tails No happy endings Forever after is a waste of time c'mon
I'm walkin' to nowhere Lookin' at the stars above my head I want to be somewhere Somewhere I belong before I'm dead and I'm not there yet
Pack up my suitcase Crawl out the window I've got get away From everything that I known and I'm spinning around my head But I'm still not there just yet

Top Hollowick, One Day

There's a girl I never knew On Olive avenue Who sells herself away I saw her walking by with the black around here eye and the tears still on her face What a shame
One day you'll see What goes around comes around One day you'll say Nohing's gonna hold you down
And the kid who lost it all is waiting for the call to take the pain away But the point he never missed is pressed against his wrist and who are we to blame What a shame
One day you'll see What goes around comes around One day you'll say Nohing's gonna hold you down
Life is just as simple as it's supposed to be Make me closer to you bring me closer to me
Make me closer to you bring me closer to me I lost myself today before the snow could melt away there's got to be a better place somewhere away from here

Top Hollowick, Timebomb

Don't call me in today, to work my life away Already given in my mental resignation Don't wanna hear about, how bad your stressing out And how I should be more like Carl in accounting
Your lips are moving but I don't know what your saying I'm thinkin' dirty thoughts a million miles away I really wish that we could have this conversation But you've got nothing to say
I've got the time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head again It's one step closer to the very end, for you
When I come home to you, all that I wanna do Is turn the T.V on and stare up at the ceiling Don't wanna talk about, what you can't live without And how the world should be revolving around you
Your lips are moving but I don't know what your saying I'm thinkin' dirty thoughts a million miles away I really wish that we could have this conversation But you've got nothing to say
I've got the time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head again It's one step closer to the very end, for you
Hey yea everybody run for cover I'm sinking everybody's going under
Time bomb tickin' in my head again Time bomb tickin' in my head

Top Hollowick, Beautiful People

Hey little creature Pleasure to meet ya I bet you never met a freak like me Ya I'm the outcast The on you walk past Could I be just another casualty How can I be someone someday?
Look at all the beautiful people Being all that I'll never be I've taken all I can take but the world is no place for somebody like me
Hey Cinderella Where are your fellas? They onlycome when it is up for free and when they get some Do you feel so dumb? Now that you're just another freak like me How can I be someone someday?

Look at all the beautiful people Being all that I'll never be I've taken all I can take but the world is no place for somebody like me It's no place for somebody like...

Top Hollowick, Taking Me Over

You are the one that I want No other fish in the sea But when I shut my eyes I realize you've got your hook in me and now you're killing me slow cause every time I try to say goodbye you sink me like a stone
Somewhere far beyond the rainbow you're the fallen angel calling me close I tried walkin' on the water drowned before I got there, never to hold ya still I feel your heartbeat taking me over your love is taking me over
I like th way that it sounds when you've got nothing to say and when the words are wrong I sing along when the music plays I've got my back to your blade so do what you've got to do it's just the price to pay for a guy like me to love a girl like you
Somewhere far beyond the rainbow you're the fallen angel calling me close I tried walking on the water drowned before I got there, never to hold ya still I feel your heartbeat taking me
Oooh why don't you say it? Why don't you say sorry to me? Oooh why don't you say it? Why don't you say sorry to me?
Sorry sorry so...
