A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.
The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals. In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activity in question, the term smart mobs is often applied instead.
The term "flash rob" or "flash mob robberies", a reference to the way flash mobs assemble, has been used to describe a number of robberies and assaults perpetrated suddenly by groups of teenage youth.Bill Wasik, originator of the first flash mobs, and a number of other commentators have questioned or objected to the usage of "flash mob" to describe criminal acts.

A white ship in the harbour
Had suddenly sailed in one night without a soul to notice
Once i would rest my blissful eyes upon a pale horizon
Now i`m just lying hiding patiently
Behind this ghostly monsterous ship
Foolish me not to
See we could
Believe it would
Know we could
Know we should
And when i dream i dream of you
You smile my way you take my hand
Ant then we walk into the blue
And i can breathe again
My sister`s lent me her blue dress
She says it looks good on me
It`s hard to give in to such tenderness
When the darkness clouds your heart
And so they say it`s new years eve again
The sky explodes with colours
You are the only one i love
I wonder who is kissing you tonight
And when i dance i dance alone
But i pretend you`re by my side
We dance the last waltz of the world
And i can finally breathe again
Thats how it feels when the tiger is loose
That`s how it feels again thats how it fells again
To see we could
Believe it would
Know we could
Know we should
The winter came too soon this year
A white ship in the harbour
Had suddenly sailed in one night
