Off the Record


Sorry Bout The Things That I Had To Say
- And I'll Make It Up To You Right Now At The Penny Arcade.
In An Open Car Or Wherever You Are
- Push Yourself Too Hard And It Might Get Hot.
Well I Really Don't Need The Confusion
- And You Know I Just Ain't The Type
To Get All Wrapped Up In The Illusion Of Doin Something
That I Know Ain't Right - Right Right???
You've Got To Want To Re-Arrange
And Keep It Off The Record. Off The Record.
You've Got To Know That We Will Change
And Keep It Off The Record. Off The Record.
In A Crowded Room Near The Box Of Boom,
To An Artificial Tune, I See You Swoon.
Well You Knew All This Would Turn To Mist
If Your Idea Wasn't Kissed - Why're You So Pissed?
Well I Know You Don't Need The Confusion
And I Know You Just Ain't The Type.
To Get All Wrapped Up In The Illusion Of Doin Something
That You Know Ain't Right - Right Right???
Right Right??? Right Right??? Right Right???
You've Got To Want To Re-Arrange
And Keep It Off The Record. Off The Record.
You've Got To Know That We Are Strange
And Keep It Off The Record. Off The Record.
You've Got To Know That We Will Change
And Keep It Off The Record. Off The Record Come On.

Passion Pit - To Kingdom Come

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnUHtQtJxe8&feature=fvsr



That's a frosty way to speak
to tell me how to live next to your potpourri
all this talking pulls my teeth
I believed in you, you believed in...

Me, I creied out 'God!'
you dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
it feels the way you told me how it'd always feel.

Once I had a name to claim
I scraped it on the walls
like an orthodox saint
I wish for the same old things that trurned me inside out, keeling in such pain,
its a game!

Me, I cried out 'God'
you dared me in the dark,
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels,
it feels the way you told me how it'd always feel

Never have I ever been,
clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,
but thats the kind of state I'm in,
swimming in a pool of godly medicine
Come, come hear it calling me yelling,
like if there was ever there was someone who could make things heavenly again...
Feel Alright!

Me, I cried out 'God'
you dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark,
so now I hide in piles pf pricley orange peals,
It feels the way you told me it would always feel (x2)

Touch Me I'm Going to Scream, music video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlYbHpAtuII&feature=fvst

...if you touch me, well i just think i'll scream
cuz it's been so long, since someone challenged me.
and made me think... about the way things are...
made me think...about the way they could be.
i believe it- why? oh my...
ooh my lord...ooh my lord...i don't even know why...but...

oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!
oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!

feelings...why? oh my: human needs. heartbeats.

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/touch-me-im-going-to-scream-part-2-lyrics-my-morning-jacket.html ]

i can see it...all. by the way you smile.
i'm smiling too! i see myself in you.
i am with it! ooh man i am wired!
ooh my lord! ooh my lord- yeah...now i really know why!


oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!
oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!

Crochet Time!

I'm making a crocheted scarf in long Shirine style!
My friend Shirine made me a crocheted scarf long ways
instead of side to side and it is one of my favorite scarves.
So I am making one myself!
This one is two-ply: dark purple blue and color changing reds.
...well the scarf is finished, it really didn't take that long and its very tightly crocheted. I like it.
