Straw is an agricultural by-product, the dry stalks of cereal plants, after the grain and chaff have been removed. Straw makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. It has many uses, including fuel, livestock bedding and fodder, thatching and basket-making. It is usually gathered and stored in a straw bale, which is a bundle of straw tightly bound with twine or wire. Bales may be square, rectangular, or round, depending on the type of baler used.
Current and historic uses of straw include:
Long hair is a hairstyle. Exactly what constitutes long hair can change from culture to culture, or even within cultures. For example, a woman with chin-length hair in some cultures may be said to have short hair, while a man with the same length of hair in some of the same cultures would be said to have long hair.
Scientists view long hair as playing a large part in natural selection among many species, since long, thick and healthy hair or fur is frequently a sign of fertility and youth. As hair grows slowly, long hair reveals several years of a person's health status and reproductive fitness. Hair length is significantly correlated with female attractiveness, as rated by men as well as women. Hair length and quality can act as a cue to especially a woman's youth and health, signifying reproductive potential. The prevalence of trichophilia (hair partialism or fetischism) is 7% in the population, and very long hair is a common subject of devotion in this group.
Ways of life often viewed as more rigid, such as soldiers and religious cultures, often have explicit rules regarding hair length. For example, Buddhist monks shave their heads as part of their order of worship. Even outside religious structures, cultures often associate male long hair with ways of life outside of what is culturally accepted. Subservient cultures, for example, are sometimes detected by their rulers through hair length, as was the case with the Gaelic Irish under English rule and the Moors under Spanish rule in Medieval Spain.

For today I bought an aeroplane.
I flew away.
All I need now is a name to appraise.
A kind of liturgy, a claim to fame.
Book me a window seat and I closed my eyes and she came.
Does anybody care to see why.
Everybody here's so happy?
Lufthansa go where you want to go.
Lufthansa go where you want to go.
Lufthansa I can't stay.
I dreamed today I boarded a frequent flyer.
And had my wicked way.
Recline a window seat.
I closed my eyes and she came.
But it's uncommon courtesy.
Now everybody here seems happy.
Lufthansa go where you want to go.
Lufthansa go where you want to go.
Lufthansa I cant stay.
Danke fräulein, schöne scheinwerfer liebchen, auf wiedersehen.
Lufthansa go where you want to go.

He said I'll never be the face on a magazine.
I hate my clothes and my hair and my genes.
Type it out with 40, 000 chimpanzees.
And come and play the muppet that looks like me and my friends and everyone else who knows me.
Always a pleasure never a chore.
A red light flashing on and off for applause.
Comfort blanket for the open sores of my friends and everyone else who knows me.
Everybody loves me.
Always thinking of me.
Everybody wants to be my special friend oh joy.
Everybody loves me.
Always thinking of me.
An anthem for the low in self-esteem oh boy.

But this is a place that we all must be.
But you and I will never be blessed with the best of the rest and the 50 worst dressed of the decade.
Everybody loves me.
Always thinking of me.
Everybody wants to be my special friend oh joy.

I'm wasted at closing time.
There's only lovers left alive.
Counting the corpses eyes.
Washed up on the morning tide.
Taking it easy.
Taking you home.
We don't belong to you.
We don't belong to you.
To you.
Watching the forum lights.
Watching the Tom Jones look unlikely.
This is the end in sight.
The beautiful friend turns ugly.
Making it easy.

I was falling over.
I was comatose.
I was drinking it in tomorrow.
I was stealing poses.
I was seeing ghosts.
I was looking to shake my shadow.
Confusing myself.
Choosing the short straw.
I'm moving to hell.
I'll send you a postcard.
Feeling unwell.
Even the nurse reminds me of you.
This is the last day of the war.
This is the last day I will want to fight with you.
This is the last day of the war.
Don't blame it on me.
I was floating over.
I was overdosed.
I wasn't planning on going solo.
Now I'm slipping under.
Now my eyes are closed.
I was dreaming about the photo.
Confusing myself.
They're shooting the wrong horse.
I'm moving to hell.
Going to send you a postcard.
Being unwell.
Feeling the nurse reminds me of you.
This is the last day of the war.
This is the last day I will want to fight with you.
This is the last day of the war.
Don't blame it on me.
Don't blame it on me.

Don't blame it on me.
This is my reward.
Don't blame it on me.

I woke up to howling sunlight.
Prayed for the morning silence to end.
Based on my favourite pastime.
I'm going to kill your boyfriend.
I will wait till summer's over.
I will waste away till somehow overdone.
I'm gone.
Long gone.
But is that all?
I'm going to kill your boyfriend.
I'm going to kill your boyfriend.
Summer's like broken winter.
Watching the people fade from view.
Keep passing the open windows.
I guess I'm still falling out with you.
I will wait till summer's over.
I will waste away till somehow overdone.
I'm gone.
Long gone.
But is that all?
If I choose not to do.
I don't need nobody.
If I choose not to do.
I don't need nobody else.
I'm unhappy with myself
Happy with myself.
Unhappy with myself.
Happy with myself.
Happy with myself.
Happy with myself.
Somehow overdone.
Choose between the sunburn and the blues.
Scrape the suncream from my undone shoes.
Like the surfers I'll be bored again.
Hate in truth it's a formula I use.
Watch the waves cut me in two.
Been kicking sand into our faces again.
Soon I'll be opening the wounds.
I'll be singing out of tune.
No change there then just indifference.
This is the soundtrack of the summer.
Everybody said we were happy going nowhere.
The soundtrack of the summer.
You've got to sing along just to get the damn thing over.
Cruise it's a missile I could use.
To detonate our last excuse.
Inflate the lilo drifting out to sea.
Summertime the tide is rising.
I close my eyes see tampons floating by.
Just you and I.
Hitting the gulf stream.
As we wave goodnight.
This is the soundtrack of the summer.
Everybody said we were happy going nowhere.
The soundtrack of the summer.
You've got to sing along just to get the damn thing over.
You in silence, me in silence, the ice creams melted in my hand.
You in silence, me in silence.
We're never going to find our way out of here.
This is the soundtrack of the summer.
Everybody said we were happy going nowhere.
The soundtrack of the summer.
You've got to sing along just to get the damn thing over.
Are we going nowhere?
Are we going nowhere?
At least it's somewhere.
Are we going nowhere?
Are we going nowhere?
Let me make a fashion statement.
I don't like that shirt you're wearing.
You stand around here looking vacant.
It seems to me you're way past caring.
I'm trying hard to save your bacon.
Time and time again you're taking taking.
Taking me shoplifting you go.

A starring role in crown court.

Galveston oh Galveston.
I still hear your sea wind blowing.
I still see her dark eyes glowing.
She was 21 when I left Galveston.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I still hear your sea waves crashing.
While I watch the cannons flashing.
I clean my gun and dreamed of Galveston.
I still see her standing by the water.
Standing there starng out to sea.
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I am so afraid of dying.
Before I wipe the tears she's crying.
Before I watch the sea birds flying in the sun.
Galveston.

Standing there staring out to sea.
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run.
Galveston oh Galveston.

Before I wipe the tears she's crying.
She was 21 when I left Galveston.
If we get dropped I will sail out the window.
Clutching the artwork to my debut single.

The door was open so she lay down on a rug.
"You policeman you do to many drugs..."
She took her shirt off and said "This is a bust..."
I put my hands up but got trampled in the rush.
And then she dared me to guess what her mother had said on her deathbed.
It was "Dracula has risen from the Grave".
Oh yeah.
Has risen from the grave.
Oh yeah.
Has risen from the grave.
Oh yeah.
Has risen from the grave.

I lost my direction, something came up.
My 'resurrection' wasn't top of the pop-ups.
She made me blush so I hid beneath the rug.
"I'd like to help you but you do too many drugs..."
And then she dared me to guess what her mother had said on her deathbed.
It was "Dracula has risen from the Grave".
Oh yeah.
Has risen from the grave.
Oh yeah.
Has risen from the grave.

Has risen from the grave.

The handcuffs were on but the jury was out.
When she read me my rights she took everything down.
And it scares me to think where her truncheon was found.
But I've got the polaroids and it's freaking me out.
Because she's handing them out.
Oh yeah.
Now Come on.
Oh yeah.
Everybody swears at me and you.
Everybody swears you know they do.
You know they do.
If I learned to sing I would in a telephone booth.
Urine, junk and chewing gum looking down on my street.
I'm cracking up I'm happy you noticed.
I wrote a song for all of us I forgot how it feels.
I am a weird superman.
I could not fly but on alcohol I can leap tall buildings.
I'm indestructible yeah you could try but I'm a weird superman.
I have been called.

I am a weird superman.
I could not fly but on alcohol I can leap tall buildings.
I'm indestructible yeah you could try but I'm a weird superman.
I have been called.
in the midst of changing times
I look around and fear unknowns
fear changes in my mind
we're seeing all this change
we're hearing promises
but will these changing days
mean a bright new tomorrow?
In my mind
in my mind it's all the same
when assumptions of the past
come crumbling down like berlin walls
and everything we thought would last
becomes nothing at all
evil empires fade away
and all the fears we knew dissolve
but will these changing days
mean a bright new tomorrow?
In my mind
in my mind
it's all the same
and if I close my eyes
Come on then.
The welcoming sound of the fallout shelter.
I was working it out on the fingers of one hand.
This is the way that she planned it.
Yeah.
Happy to bite on the hand that felt her.
She was thinking about the shape of things to come.
This is the way that she planned it.
Yeah.
Sneaking a look at the cards I dealt her.
I was slurring my words so that she won't understand.
This is the way that I planned it.
Yeah.
All she ever wanted was the word.
Wake up.
All she ever wanted was the word.
Wake up.
All she ever wanted was another song.
And she'd become Miss World.

Leaving a note.

Taking my phone out and talking to myself.

Yeah.
Pressing the first floor.
It's somewhere to take her.
Closing the door she has opened up so well.
This is the way that I planned it.
Yeah.
All she ever wanted was the word.
Wake up.
All she ever wanted was the word.
Wake up.
All she ever wanted was another song.
