Last Kiss (Pearl Jam)

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy’s car
We hadn’t driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right
I’ll never forget the sound that night
The screamin’ tires, the bustin’ glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up, the rain was pourin’ down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin’ through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
“Hold me darling just a little while.”
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lua, baby what I say
Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny and he’ll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin’ shoes
Here come johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin’ blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what I say
Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There’s just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life
Yeah you do the walk of life

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mind
Softly you whisper, you’re so sincere
How could our live be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms
Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you’ve come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms
Il était mon avenir (Teri Moïse)

jamais aimée avant lui
c’était le début d’un rêve
et désormais j’ai compris
que malgré mes souhaits tout s’achève
et on m’a dit
qu’avec le temps
l’amour se fane
mais il s’est fait une place dans mon âme
excuser-moi
si mes mots vous gênent
mon cœur m’empêche de me retenir
et jamais j’aurais cru
que sans lui je serai si perdue
il était mon avenir
je vivais quelque chose d’ineffable
toujours pour me guider
un amour inoubliable
et j’ai appris que dans la vie
rien est trop sur
et que seuls les souvenirs de l’autre durent
hey oh hey oh yeah hey
si rare l’espoir
d’éprouver un sentiment si intense
est-ce par hasard
qu’on s’est trouvé
une simple question de chance
de notre histoire
au fond de moi est née une peur
ce que j’ai eu je ne pourrai plus
vivre ailleurs
Je serai là (Teri Moïse)

Oublie tes erreurs et tes peurs
Je les efface
A chaque faux pas que tu feras
Je tomberai à ta place
Mon seul plaisir sera de t’offrir une vie idéale
Sans peine et sans mal
J’ai découvert qui je suis
Tout a changé le jour où je t’ai donné la vie
Et si jamais le monde t’es trop cruel
Je serai là toujours pour toi
Que tous tes amours soient sûrs
Tes amis sincères
Pour toi un domaine
Où la haine est la seule étrangère
Je ferai un monde où tout ira bien
Tu seras jamais seul tu manqueras de rien
J’ai découvert qui je suis
Tout a changé le jour où je t’ai donné la vie
Et si jamais le monde t’es trop cruel
Je serai là toujours pour toi
Je voudrais pouvoir tout savoir
Pour te donner une vision plus claire
De ce mystère que l’on appelle la vie
Mon seul désir sera de t’offrir une vie idéale
Sans peine et sans mal
J’ai découvert qui je suis
Tout a changé le jour où je t’ai donné la vie
Et si jamais le monde t’es trop cruel
Je serai là toujours pour toi…

Cool (Gwen Stefani)

It’s hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things, get more comfortable
Everything is going right
And after all the obstacles
It’s good to see you now with someone else
And it’s such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we’ve been through
I know we’re cool
I know we’re cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain
Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown, oh
We have changed but we’re still the same
After all that we’ve been through
I know we’re cool
I know we’re cool
Yeah, I know we’re cool
And I’ll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles
And now we’re hanging out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we’ve been
I know we’re cool
I know we’re cool
C-cool, I know we’re cool
I know we’re cool
so you think you can dance, season 3: first impressions.
By Karen | Thursday, June 14th, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The only reality competition I watch is finally back with season 3 of So You Think You Can Dance. I spent the last 2 hours catching up thanks to our trusty PVR. Initial thoughts:
- The dancers this season are much more impressive than last year’s bunch! I don’t think anyone necessarily deserved to go home in the first round.
- Top 3 fave performances this week: 1) Danny and Anya’s jive; 2) Lacey and Kameron’s contemporary; 3) Jesus and Sara’s routine
- Yeah, yeah, Wade Robson’s choreography is really unique…but it gets less impressive the more routines I see. They all look the same, after a while. Mia Michaels is my favourite.
- I’m constantly disappointed by the poor choreography of every salsa performance I’ve seen on the show thus far. Salsa seems to be lumped with the stiffer latin/ballroom style instead of with tango or street dances. I’ve seen better spontaneous routines from social dancers around the Vancouver scene!
- Very happy to see lindy hoppers featured during the auditions and Vegas trials. Unfortunately, with the pseudo-period costumes and campy music, the pair made lindy seem rather quaint and didn’t showcase how liquid and freeing the movements can be.
- I was sad to see Ricky leave the show so early. I thought he had an amazing solo and did show his range, whereas Domenic was saved by personality alone.
- Benji is awesome and all, but did he really need to drop his pants?!
What do you think of the season so far?
Time in a Bottle (Jim Croce)

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song (Jim Croce)

Well, I know it’s kind of late
I hope I didn’t wake you
But what I got to say can’t wait
I know you’d understand
‘Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it’s kind of strange
But every time I’m near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you’d understand
‘Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song
‘Cause every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song
Yeah, I know it’s kind of late
I hope I didn’t wake you
But there’s something that I just got to say
I know you’d understand
‘Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song
No Rain (Blind Melon)
By Karen | Thursday, June 14th, 2007 | No Comments »
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view but it’s not sane
It’s not sane
I just want some one to say to me, oh____
I’ll always be there when you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made
And I don’t understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there’s no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape
Escape
Escape
Escape___
I just want some one to say to me, oh____
I’ll always be there when you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
Ya don’t like my point of view
Ya think I’m insane
It’s not sane
It’s not sane___
