The world will never love us, but they will think we have a great personality.

Ya know what, all the times I've visited your beautiful country, the people stand out as the best and worst features, but I've always come away with a great memories that overwhelm any bitterness.

But your politicians... Damn... I really feel for your boys and girls overseas and their families.

I think he's rushing it.


Probably to fit it all into the time spot, or maybe because he was so excited to be playing such a great Bowie song. I know I get excited about anything off that album.

"Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk"

Sigh, such a good song.

man you put this up here just to show off your beautiful girlfriend, admit it!

"Black Monday" by Lowest of the Low
http://www.lyricsdownload.com/lowest-of-the-low-black-monday-lyrics.html

Black Monday is coming around again
And it feels like a friend that just won't take a hint
'Cause it's hanging me up
And it's hanging around

And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound
When the tone of my voice is the loneliest sound
My heroes have all become pathetic clowns
And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound

My friend Kate, you laugh like a tidal wave
But "Charlie don't surf" on your laughter on Black Mondays
And the shadows I feel are the shadows in me

And not even your face or your beautiful smile
Or the curve of your breasts or your laughing bright eyes
Could make me believe I'm a winner tonight
When Monday morning is just out of sight

I know a story
About a man who couldn't see past his fingertips
To reach out and touch it
Was just too much like he needs it

And I know a woman
Who reached out to me and all she got were my barbed-wire hands
And I won't be too proud
If she can't depend on me when Black Monday starts coming around

My friend Kate, you are sad and beautiful
And the way I am has never been too good for us
'Cause I'm too blind to hear, and I'm too deaf to see

But I still have a voice that can call out your name
With a gut full of beer and a head full of pain
I can lie in your arms and be lovers again
And thank God Tuesday morning is just hours away

Do you know, I won't let you down?
Rest your head when I come around
Do you know, you can count on me?
Laugh out loud, I see what you see

Guess I'm lucky to be an ugly dude. I believe Frank Zappa said "Just remember if your cute or your beautiful, theres a lot more of us ugly motherf***ers than you all". I take solace in that fact

Here's the joke:
My girl's passport is quite old, not british, and when she tried to get into the UK they stopped her, made a phonecall and said "your government does not recognise you", made her shit her pants for 15 minutes while i was not allowed to talk to her, then said "oh go on then, off you go!" and let her through. WTF?

On the way back out of the UK they make you give up all your liquids (including my beloved peanut butter) and pack everything into one item of hand luggage only, carry your beauty products in a transparent bag and queue for ages while all this happens. I expect it's stopped, oh, 0.000045 terrorist attacks?

And when I go through to Belarus the border guards are normally either coldly efficient or very friendly. Never seem to be on a power trip. Only the Lithuanian guards get cocky and give me hassle for having a heavy record bag or whatever. The most "authoritarian" thing that happened to me on the border was the lithuanian guards stopping our coach 5 minutes before lunch, lining us up to check our luggage, and then literally going to lunch and leaving us for 45 minutes.

pencils down, ladies!
