How Soon is Now, because it is all about shyness. Shyness has influenced so many decisions & directions I've taken in my life.
(Please forgive me if thia entry appears twice. I wrote something similar 2 days ago, but that post looks like it has been deleted.)
Girlfriend in a coma... well she must be cos I aint seen her in a looong time
"This Charming Man" because I have had wonderful inspiring men in my life. And the writer of the play is a charming man. Seems fitting.
"There is a light that never goes out" because of its killer melodies, multiple changes of tempo and, most of all, its awesomelyrical content - a paean to pure love - using the metaphor of driving with one's loved one in a car ready to die by their side when under a double decker bus or 10 ton truck
Youve Got Everything Now....do i work to be happy or am i happy at work?Learnt in my life that the capitalist monster doesn't necessarily make u happy.
Who is rich and who is poor i cannot say.
I've seen u smile but never really heard u laugh.........
