Let's still believe in love (Parlons encore d'amour)

Song recommendations: The Ugly and the Beautiful and La Bête et la Belle by (the real) Tuesday Weld





Well after all that we've been through
Would you still call this love baby?
Cause love's the only proof
That the ugly could be beautiful

God knows i'm feeling spent
Though i've still got my money honey
Money's the revenge
Of the ugly on the beautiful

Well the drugs just ain't enough
Though i like the way they made us crazy
But love's the only drug
It turns the ugly into beautiful

And i can't tell you why
I'm still so much afraid of dying
Dying reconciles
The ugly with the beautiful

Though we've been burned by it
Let's still believe in love
Cause love's the greatest gift
Of the ugly to the beautiful
(repeat 1x)

Au lendemain de nos déboires
Pourra-t'on parler d'amour
Mon amour
Écoute bien cette histoire
C'est l'histoire de la bête et la belle

Dieu sait que j'ai ramé
Mais j'ai gardé mes sous ma pauvre
Dignité
Car l'argent est la revanche
Que la bête prendra sur la belle

Les drogues étaient trop douces
Mais quelle exquise petite folie
Mon amour
Les drogues sont la seule route
Qui fera de la bête une belle

Non ne me demande pas
Pourquoi j'ai tellement peur de mourir
Alors que la mort verra
La bête s'unir à la belle

Bien qu'il nous ait brûlés
Parlons encore d'amour
Car l'amour est le plus vrai
C'est le cadeau de la bête à la belle

Non ne me demande pas
Pourquoi j'ai tellement peur de mourir
Alors que la mort verra
La bête s'unir à la belle

Happy birthday! (Your life still isn't over)

This Post is dedicated to my best friend AI.  Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!

(Happy Birthday by the Arrogant Worms)



Once a year we celebrate
With stupid hats and plastic plates
The fact that you were able to make
Another trip around the sun

And the whole clan gathers round
And gifts and laughter do abound
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song

Happy birthday!
Now you're one year older
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn't over
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn't die this year
I guess that's good enough

So let's drink to your fading health
And hope you don't remind yourself
your chance of finding fame and wealth
Decrease with every year

Does it feel like you're doing laps
And eating food and taking naps
And hoping that someday perhaps
Your life will hold some cheer

Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You're starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It's downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
Your best years are all gone

If cryogenics were all free
Then you could live like Walt Disney
And live for all eternity
Inside a block of ice

But instead your time is set
This is the only life you get
And though it hasn't ended yet
Sometimes you wish it might

Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money
Happy birthday!
Your life's so sad it's funny
Happy birthday!
How much more can you take?
But your friends are hungry
So just cut the stupid cake

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, dear...

What I got to do to be heard?


Song recommendation: Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word by Elton John




What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.

What do I do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Yeh. Sorry

What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Dig out the cancer of all human greed


Song recommendation: Rise Up by Flogging Molly




God you say is always the answer
But what is the answer for our cruelty
We punish a life 'til it's life ever after
Ever after the place that we all end up being

O' such is a morn' as this to awaken
Forgotten the hour that was yesterday
With a standing blow to the head of frustration
Divide and we fall have you nothing to say?

[Chorus]
So let us rise up
Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
On that let's agree
Rise up
Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility

Many's the word that's been broken true anger
Lips that are sealed as the hour slips away
Belief is a joke to this lost generation
Building the walls as the mind segregates

But when all is said
The voice that is silent can't be heard

[Chorus]

For we, we shall overcome... someday

So we bring the head of the ol' palace tribe
For there is the rapture that bleeds out a life
Hand over fist from their pulpit they spew
Liars they'll crumble not knowing the truth

But when all is said
The voice that is silent can't be heard

[Chorus]
So let us rise up
Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
On that let's agree
Let us rise up
Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of futility
Rise up
Stand and be counted, stand and be counted
On that let's agree
Let us rise up
Dig out the cancer; dig out the cancer of all human greed

For we, we shall overcome...
