A last is a form in the approximate shape of a human foot, used by shoemakers and cordwainers in the manufacture and repair of shoes. Lasts typically come in pairs, and throughout their history have been made from many materials, including hardwoods, cast iron, and, more recently, high density plastics.
Lasts are made to varying degrees in the shape of the human foot, depending on their specific purpose. They come in many styles and sizes, depending on the exact job they are designed for. They range from simple one-size lasts used for repairing soles and heels, to hard-wearing lasts used in modern mass production, and to custom-made lasts used in the making of bespoke footwear.
Historically, lasts were made from a number of materials - typically hardwoods and cast iron. These are materials that will retain their shape, even when in contact with wet materials, like leather, being stretched and shaped.
The material used to make modern lasts must be strong enough to withstand the forces of mass production machinery, such as that applied by the pullover machines when bottoming the shoe, and must also be able to hold tacks (known as "lasting tacks") which are used to hold shoe parts together temporarily before the sole is added. Although hardwoods satisfy these criteria, modern lasts, especially those used by mass production factories in places such as China, are often made from high-density polyethylene plastic (HMW-HDPE), which allows for many tack holes before needing repair. Such plastics also have the benefit that they can be recycled and remoulded when they wear out.
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Perry grew up with gospel music, and during her first year of high school she pursued a music career as Katy Hudson, releasing her first studio album called Katy Hudson which failed to chart. She recorded a solo album later, which was never released. After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry.
She first gained recognition with the release of her first mainstream album, One of the Boys in 2008, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"I Kissed A Girl", "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas". Perry supported the album with her Hello Katy Tour. In 2010, her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned five number one singles—"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"—Teenage Dream was the only album (after Michael Jackson's Bad)—to do so, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone. She embarked on the California Dreams Tour, which grossed nearly $60 million worldwide. Perry re-released the album under the name of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection on March 26, 2012, and the re-release has already spawned the number-one single "Part of Me".
Your the last in line, it's time to meet your maker
Your soulless rotting corpse now flesh for the undertaker
What caused this subversive disaster?
What went wrong with your life?
All that now is left
is the last piece of your remnants
Your the last in line, it's time to meet your maker
gave up trying to figure out my head got lost along the way
worn out from giving it up my soul i pissed it all away
still stings these shattered nerves
pigs we get what pigs deserve
i'm going all the way down i'm leaving today
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
everybody's still chipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
look through these blackened eyes
you'll see ten thousand lies
my lips may promise but my heart is a whore
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i know it's all getting away it comes to me as no surprise
i know what's coming to me is never going to arrive
fresh blood through tired skin
new sweat to drown me in
dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i wish i could put the blame on you
i want you to make me
i want you to take me
i want you to break me
Another day in bad times (hold)
back your fears that belong "to me
ride into the last time
I trust in you
for you last adorer
and then we are
into the purensess of my soul (nothing more)
fuck the dreams which drown in (me)
please give up and let it be
A raped woman is a whore, and when the newsman explains how the rapist in
his frustration over his limp dick fucked her with a carpentersknife you
wince in your safe little cubicles, and self-righteously pass judgement.
She deserved it, that just shows how it goes, and it never would've
happened if she had listened to her parents. I say fuck you. If I had the
bomb I'd let it rip. You are culprit and prey in the same sick being.
Parents and politicians rave over our attempts to shut it all out, as if
the drugs and sex are the problems. In this world it's only natural to
seek out oblivion, it's the only way we can survive, once we see the
horror…One last thing, never expect me to try being a part of your heap of
shit. Id rather stay out here in the cold for the rest of my fucking life
She holds his hand and stares off into space.
All she knows now is how much things can change.
It's not her fault.
It's not her, no one is to blame.
It's just that regret has a way of taunting you.
I guess it's hard to hide the past,
the way she struggles to make it last.
I wanna share all I have with you.
Would it change a thing if I was with you?
A broken heart, too much has passed.
I hope someday that something lasts.
Her head hangs low, a tear is in her eye.
It's not the first time someone has made her cry.
Up goes a wall that no one can climb.
The only way in or out is through the heart.
Take your time, don't you rush a thing.
I'll be there waiting for you, never let you down again.
I wanna share all I have with you.
Would it change a thing if I was with you?
A broken heart, too much has passed.
(Diddy:)
Last night.
I couldn't even get an answer.
I tried to call but my pride wouldn't let me dial.
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression.
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child.
I know you can hear me.
I know you can feel me.
I can't live without you.
God, please make me betta.
I wish I wasn't the way I am.
(Keyshia Cole:)
If I told you once, I told you twice.
You can see it in my eyes.
I'm all cried out with nothing to say.
You're everything I wanted to be.
If you could only see your hearts belongs to me.
I love you so much.
I'm yearning for your touch.
Come and set me free.
Forever yours I'll be.
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away.
(Diddy:)
Last night.
I couldn't even get an answer. (You said you couldn't get an answer baby)
I tried to call but my pride wouldn't let me dial. (But that should never stop you)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression. (Sitting there, I can't reach your mind baby)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child. (The way I feel, a baby)
(Keyshia Cole:)
I need you and you need me.
This is so plain to see.
And I would never let you go.
And I will always love you so.
I will...
If you could only see your hearts belongs to me.
I love you so much.
I'm yearning for your touch.
Come and set me free.
Forever yours I'll be.
Baby, won't you come and take this pain away.
(Diddy:)
Last night. (Oh, last night)
I couldn't even get an answer. (Baby why you wanna do me, yeah)
I tried to call but my pride wouldn't let me dial. (Why won't you just call me baby oh?)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression. (Don't sit there baby, no, no, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child. (Alright, I'm so alone; I'm so lonely, baby)
(Bridge:)
Tell me what there is to say to make you come back.
Don't break me like that.
And if it matters I'd rather spend my life with you.
I'm never alone.
Whenever you're home just phone me.
(Diddy:)
Last night. (Yeah)
I couldn't even get an answer. (Couldn't get an answer baby, oh)
I tried to call but my pride wouldn't let me dial. (Call me baby, why couldn't you just dial
me baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression. (Don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child. (Alright, I'm so alone, I'm so lonely baby)
(Keyshia Cole:)
I need you and you need me. (Need you, I need you)
This is so plain to see.
And I would never let you go.
And I will always love you so.
I will...
If you could only see your hearts belongs to me. (Only see)
I love you so much. (So, so)
I'm yearning for your touch.
Come and set me free.
Forever yours I'll be.
Baby, won't you come and take my pain away. (Hey)
(Diddy:)
Last night.
I couldn't even get an answer. (I couldn't catch you baby, no)
I tried to call but my pride wouldn't let me dial. (Call me baby, why couldn't you just dial
me baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
And I'm sitting here with this blank expression. (Don't sit there, no)
And the way I feel, I wanna curl up like a child. (Alright, I'm so alone; I'm so lonely, baby)
(Keyshia Cole:)
Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number?
And call me my baby.
I'm waiting on you.
Why don't you pick up the phone and dial up my number?
Just call me up baby.
Oh take me aback again, take me back again
Just take me back again to that day, take me back again
I still remember your face that day
I still remember your voice, seemed to strange
But I’m trying to remember the things that you said
Trying to imagine what must have gone through your head
And I can’t forget the swollen colour of the bleeding
I keep imagining a storm behind your eyes
You took up your tears and waved goodbye
For the last time
Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time
I could have done nothing
For a friend determined to go
I could have done nothing
How come I think I should have known?
I could have done nothing for a friend
I keep remembering all the words you didn’t say
I keep imagining all the clues that must have floated
away
But I can’t remember was it I who turned a blind eye?
Please help me remember on that day was I so very
blind?
I can’t imagine what I thought when you turned to go
Didn’t I know, didn’t I know, didn’t I know
I felt December in the air but August was near
I felt December in the air but the Summer was here
Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time
I take up my tears I say goodbye
For just one more time – Goodbye
I take up my tears I say goodbye
And you crawled in the room with the serpent
And they sucked from your body the poison
Then the Cyclops arrived there to warn you
And the Whore entered in to adore you
Seems like life has dawned to fade away
Ice bards' ship the frozen bodies
And the ones in the Son are immortal
Then the skeleton hands you the needle
You were born to this day from the cradle
Seems like life dawned to fade away
Reaper's scythe harvest time is upon you
No more use for abuse in this body
Father Time gives the wings now to free you
I'd tear my heart out for you
Cross a mountain for you
I'd give myself up for your sin
Open up I'm falling in
What I feel, what I give
Take from me what I am
It's the last day of you
I watch the last day of you
A lot has passed I told you
The world surrounding us has gone
The world surrounding us goes on
What I feel, what I give
Take from me what I am
It's the last day of you
What I feel, what I give
Take from me what I am
It's the last day of you
Feel my hands upon you
To feel my last touch of you
Feel my breath across your skin
Let go of all you hold within
What I feel, what I give
Take from me what I am
Jesus lifted his last restraint
At the end of the century
And I couldn't even begin to tell you
What he saw in her anyway
She threw her head back
She threw her head back
And that beauty spilled out across the high way
Like a glittering trail of venom and diamonds
Coming down off a mountain of pills
Designed to keep him in ecstasy
And I couldn't even begin to tell you
What he saw in her anyway
She threw her head back
She threw her head back
And that beauty spilled out across the highway
Like a glittering daughter of Isadora Duncan
This is the last fucking time
This is the last time
She's a slow harbor
Looks at me as she comes
Insect sounds in the field
She's the breeze
Takes away the fear in me
Takes away the fear in me
This is the last fucking time
Bring back the good times, forget these bad times, keep moving
I'm running situations through.
You can't fall for me
And I can't fall for you
And maybe this could be the last thing we ever do (x2)
Looks like the right one could have been the wrong one, don't look back
The memories should carry me through.
You can't fall for me
And I can't fall for you
And maybe this should be the last thing we ever do
They used to make no sense to me
All the things you said to me
But now they're making sense to me
You can't fall for me
And I can't fall for you
And maybe this should be the last thing we ever do
Here we go again, beat and stuck up and spent and
Saving for rent on our blood red homes,
Cos a dream with no color,
Well why even bother.
And we know that it won't last, but we force it and force it, and the
Time just proves too much,
And we're wearing down, wearing down again.
Should have been fall, with the memories of summer,
The burn of the sun and the cold, oh, fall,
You're a comfortable lover but I just cant take all the decay.
It's okay if you don't show, but I want you do know you're invited.
I'd tear my heart out for you
Cross a mountain for you
I'd give myself up for your sin
Open up, I'm falling in
Chorus:
What I feel
What I give
Take from me
What I am
It's the last day of you
I watched the last day of you
A lot has passed, I told you
The world surrounding us has gone
The world surrounding us goes on
Chorus (x2)
Feel my hands upon you
To feel my last touch of you
You feel my breath across your skin
Let go of all you hold within
Your the last in line, it's time to meet your maker
Your soulless rotting corpse now flesh for the undertaker
What caused this subversive disaster?
What went wrong with your life?
All that now is left
is the last piece of your remnants
Your the last in line, it's time to meet your maker
What is in the man:
The man
This day is dawning and dawning and what is in the man the man:
This day is
The occupation is predetermined
O working man make it last
We are so far ahead of this future:
O this future that will last forever
Will this future O will it last forever
Are we so far ahead of this future
Drink the breath of death you see you see
Jesus lifted his last restraint
At the end of the century
And I couldn't even begin to tell you
What he saw in her anyway
She threw her head back
She threw her head back
And that beauty spilled out across the high way
Like a glittering trail of venom and diamonds
Coming down off a mountain of pills
Designed to keep him in ecstasy
And I couldn't even begin to tell you
What he saw in her anyway
She threw her head back
She threw her head back
And that beauty spilled out across the highway
Like a glittering daughter of Isadora Duncan
This is the last fucking time
This is the last time
She's a slow harbor
Looks at me as she comes
Insect sounds in the field
She's the breeze
Takes away the fear in me
Takes away the fear in me
This is the last fucking time
more sad songs for the sad song archivelet your honesty
isolate
good luck out there.
i remember the first time we met
you talked liked you already knew me
maybe that's the way its supposed to be
let me have this one this time
oh let me have this one last try
oh let me have this one i dream no other
oh let me have this one this time.
is it faith i have
or blind stupidity?
i used to call it strange devotion
but it aint so strange anymore
here i collapse in futility
go into storm and darkness alone, alone.
like a beacon lost to sight
you'll burn fast and burn bright
oh let me have this one i dream no other
Everything you say is right
When you're not you wanna fight
Looking down to everyone
Boy your life must be just great fun
The time has come to knock you down
Verbally create a frown
Make you learn from your mistakes
Doesn't matter how long it TAKES!
Never know what you're talking about
When you realize you sit and pout
Try to make excuses cause you're wrong
Try to make excuses it won't take long
You'll sell your soul, you'll sell your friend
Think you'll have the last laugh in the end
While you're laughing you are the fool
You're the exception to the RULE!
