A heartwarmer & a tear-jerker.

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
It could have been me


Could Have Been Me - The Struts

When you are a nobody (in the grand, grand scheme of things), but you write things down in your diary in the hopes that some day, someone will read it and understand it.

GREASE

The High Llamas - Can Cladders (2007)



Hills and fields of treasured land
The doctor built a house before the railway ran
He left the Caribbean with a cure in mind
He came to cure a nation of a different kind

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people look at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

[Spoken:]
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
For power became known to more and more people
The demands to do something about this outrageous
Man became louder and louder

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

[Spoken:] Oh, those Russians...

Bill Evans - Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1959)



1959 was to jazz what 1967 was to rock/pop music.

This video is me.

The vampire fangs, the sunglasses, the eccentric weirdness, the random gun and then the single fart at the end. Oh & the heart-shaped balloons.

Duran Duran - Rio (1982)



And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it 'til the morning after

Blur - The Great Escape (1995)



There must be more to life
All your life you are dreaming
And then you stop dreaming
From time to time you know
You should be going on another bender

The suburbs they are sleeping
But he's dressing up tonight
