I know no one that makes me more happy
I got my first postcard from New Zealand! *grin* Thanks james! I really love receiving mail! The cows and sheep are so cute, they look so placid *laugh*
Here's my favourite Kiwi band - The Brunettes! (Not that I know many other bands from New Zealand *laugh*) They're twee and just so adorable! *tweet* and this is my favourite song from them.
We don't really have that many ducks here, but I can't remember a happier time than feeding fish, and terrapins and all the other random animals they have in the pond! *smile*
Honey
Mmm baby
Meet me at the park
I know no one that makes me more happy
Oh baby
Candy oh
I'll be waiting there
It's the closest place to St Elmo's
Candy oh
It's a total K.O.
Such a functional motion
Do the locomotion
And though you're regal
Disillusion halo
Sometimes makes me loco
You're my baby
Holding hands, feeding ducks
When I met you that's what I wanted to do
You in your element
It was a close encounter of the K.O. kind
The Brunettes | Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks
Can't find a streamed version again but here's the video instead! Oh and it's such a coincidence that they're dressed up in costume, considering that it's now Halloween! I want to be a cat!
I guess it's just my luck
Just watched this horrow show based on some Stephen King story about dead singers in Rock and Roll Heaven and yes, rock never dies *laugh*
I love the dark lyrics, sung with such harmony, under the simple chord structure and noisy guitars. It's like being told something that seems so innocuous, and not realising you're being made fun of.
My girl is a little animal
She always wants to fuck
I can't find a reason why
I guess it's just my luck
So at night when she's sound asleep
I head out in the rain to meet
All the things she never gave
To me when I was down
All the thing I had to find
With strangers in strange towns
But at night when she's curled up next to me
I head out for the devil to meet
The Raveonettes | Little AnimalsI can't seem to find a streamed version of this song, or any other song from this album actually. So in the meantime, here's another one I like.Changing your strut when you know I'm behind youChanging your ways 'coz you don't know what to doI only wanna tell you, how I feel insideIf only you could listen, try to change your mindSo I walk right up to youAnd you walk all over meAnd I ask you what you wantAnd you tell me what you needCan't you feel it all come downCan't you hear it all aroundAt the place where lost is foundThat great love soundTalking to you makes me wanna shake and shoutTouching you makes me wanna come right outYou could never want meThe same way I want youI'm love tornado struckI don't know what to doThe Raveonettes | That Great Love Sound
The way you move is a mystery
99 red balloons go by
Well it's october again. And what better way to celebrate Oktoberfest than to have german beer at a german pub, with your german boss singing 99 luftballons, in german. *grin*
Here's the english version, 99 red balloons! I can't understand the german version but it sounds so good! You have to teach me the words one day, mischy!
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message
"Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here
From somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by
99 Knights of the airway
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by
As 99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
