In architecture, construction, engineering, real estate development and technology the word building may refer to one of the following:
In this article, the first usage is generally intended unless otherwise specified.
Buildings come in a wide amount of shapes and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, to land prices, ground conditions, specific uses and aesthetic reasons.
Buildings serve several needs of society – primarily as shelter from weather and as general living space, to provide privacy, to store belongings and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the outside (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful).
Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasess of artistic expression. In recent years, interest in sustainable planning and building practices has also become part of the design process of many new buildings.
I should have known that you would be somebody
Who would take me back to school
Everything I've known is suddenly in question
When I start to share it with you
I should have seen that you would be the kind of girl
Who'd make my mind up for me
Everything I've thought is making no sense to me
When I started to see it your way
When I started to see it your way
Are you bringing me down
Or are you making me more then I am?
Are you breaking me down
Or are you building me up to your plans?
I can't get along without you
But girl, you make it hard to
Live my life in peace when
I'm so damn busy changing
I can't get along without you
But girl you make it hard to
Live my life in peace when
I'm so damn busy changing
I should have known that you would be somebody
Who would take me back to school
Everything I've known is suddenly in question
When I start to share it with you
I should have seen that you would be the kind of girl
Who'd make my mind up for me
Everything I thought is making no sense to me
When I started to see it your way
When I started to see it your way
Are you bringing me down
Or are you making me more then I am?
Are you breaking me down
Or are you building me up to your plans?
I can't get along without you
But girl, you make it hard to
Live my life in peace when
I'm so damn busy changing
I can't get along without you
But girl, you make it hard to
Live my life in peace when
I'm so damn busy changing
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
no I don't just hate everyone
no I don't just hate everything
you know I won't just love anything
you know I won't just love everything
baby... love is building,
our lives are building
hate is a building torn down
love is building,
you know we didn't know what to think,
you knew all along we would work it all out,
you know we didn't know what to believe
baby... love is building,
our lives are building
hate is a building burned down
love is building
WERE YOU
IN DOUBT
OF A NEW DAY,
YOU LIFTED
MY DOUBT
OF A NEW DAY
building,
love is building,
building
love is building
building.
love is building
Building Lyrics
Unbelievable Truth
Im in a city where the people help each other to their beds. Say what you want. Say what you want.
Complete the picture with a girl who only listens to the dead. Say what you want. Say what you want.
And did I choose to be the one who is left? Or is this something sinister? Or is this proof against my ignorance? Or am I meant to waste away?
Complete the picture with a girl who only listens to the dead. Prays to them please. Say what you want.
Say what you want. (Say what you want.) Deliverance can wait. Say what you want. (Say what you want.) And how I should behave, just call.
Trapped in a building With the ghosts of all the people Ive betrayed. Say what you want. Say what you want. And theres no reason to step out into a nation that wont see me. Say what you want. Say what you want.
And is this proof against my ignorance? Or am I meant to waste away?
And did I choose to be the one who is left? Or is this something sinister?
One last smile
As we turn away in wrong directions
Feeling the kick
From a multitude of cooled reflections
Me building on my life alone...
One last look
As we turn our backs on deeper feelings
This new release
And think ahead to all who see
Build it, build it, build it very high
Build it, build it, up into the sky
Build it up, build it up, build it very tall
Build it very tall and then stand back and watch it
fall fall fall
We're gonna build a castle with a wall going round
A big draw-bridge that lowers to the ground
We're using
Tall bricks, short bricks, big bricks, small
Build up our castle, build it very tall
Build it, build it, build it very high
Build it, build it, up into the sky
Build it up, build it up, build it very tall
Build it very tall and then stand back and watch it
fall fall fall
hammer - hammer - hammer - hammer
hammer - hammer - hammer - hammer
saw - saw
saw - saw
hammer - hammer - hammer - hammer
hammer - hammer - hammer - hammer
saw - saw
saw - saw
We're gonna build a rocket soaring up to the stars
We'll fly around the universe and stop off at Mars
We're using
Long bricks, short bricks, big bricks, small
Build up our rocket, build it very tall
Build it, build it, build it very high
Build it, build it, up into the sky
Build it up, build it up, build it very tall
Build it very tall then stand back and watch it fall
Stand back and watch it fall
Stand back and watch it fall
