First days of spring- Noah and the Whale

The Virgins - Fernando Pando

Crowds pushed and shoved down the street in a bus fume haze
Building for a new day
Will become of you and me
Our love

I want to shout from the roof and all these things they just don't do
Will they wait for me and you
Or just leave us both behind
I don´t know

She said, "Man I don't wanna play around with words,
I just want to lay with you.
I can't solve the problems in this world
It's breaking my brain in two."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
We´re waiting on you
Don´t want you for your time
They promised you a lie
I say it isn't true

Lately I can tell that you´re scared
Well we're growing up
Said "Maybe if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough for
Kids I used to know that died
Now they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down"

Want to walk to your door
So I head from the store
And I ring on your bell
Cause I see that you're home
And I wait for a while
And I look up to the sky
But nobody comes

Back on my feet
I went straight to the place
Where we were when you said
All the words that you meant
For me then
Do you still feel them now?
Well I can't see how you do
But I hope that it's so

She said, "Well right now you and I we're getting high,
But it don't have to be this way.
Baby I don't want to say goodbye,
But it's all that I aim to say."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
We´re waiting on you
Don´t want you for your time
They promised you a lie
I say it isn't true

Lately I can tell that you´re scared
Well we're growing up
Said "Maybe if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough for
Kids I used to know that died
Now they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down"

Quotes

"If I think about all the girls I've known or slept with or just desired, they're like a bunch of Russian dolls. We spend our lives playing the game dying to know who'll be the last, the teeny-tiny one hidden inside all the others. You can't just get to her right away. You have to follow the progression. You have to open them one by one wondering, "Is she the last one?"

Talisman

Some say it´s sad... I just find it peaceful.

Mayonaise

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed

Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June

We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
DreamI'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream

And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad

When I can, I will
Words defy the plan
When I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will

Needless suffering


There is something very sinister about human fascination with the tragedy of others...

Bad mistakes, I´ve made a few...

"You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday don't count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it’s made out of. Nothin else."

Day in Day out

Company´s often gather up dozens of people in a group to come up with an idea or to set up a project. More often than not it´s the groups of one who get things done...

Wilde, very Wilde Oscar

"Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of the luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak. That is all that can be said for them. They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account."

Books that carve out scars hard to forget


"He walked out into the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of an intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it."


PS - Fuck the movie.

Go slow...

Lá estarei no dia 25 de Maio. Embora goste bastante da acústica da Aula Magna se calhar dava jeito mudar o concerto para um sítio em que possa ir mais gente.

Artigo 83.º, n.º 1 do Estatuto da Ordem dos Advogados

"O advogado é indispensável à administração da justiça e, como tal, deve ter um comportamento público e profissional adequado à dignidade e responsabilidades da função que exerce..."

Pergunta: Será que isto se aplica à malta do Liberdade 21?

Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring


Los Campesinos! are back with their new album. It’s good fun Indie. But then again, I’ve been overly excited with Florence and the Machine and The XX for a while so, hard to be impartial on this one!


Here´s their new single There Are Listed Buildings


Enjoy
