Kate Perry, You´re Hot and you´re Cold

Suummercat by Billie the Vision and the Dancers

I kissed you good bye at the airport.
I held you so close to me.
I said 'So here we are now and I can't stop from crying Lilly'.
And you said 'Hey hey hoo, you know this is the way to go
You will forget about me when I'm on that plane.
Forget about me when I'm on that plane.'

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

The plane took off and my love went with it.
The chilly wind whipped my both cheeks hard.
And the man next to me said 'Everything is gonna be alright'.
I said 'Nothing is gonna be alright, but thank you anyway'.
And then I saw your face in the airplane window.
I waved my hands and I shouted to you:

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I wore a T-shirt and my worn out hat.
Abandoned as a summer cat.
And as I stood there as a broken hearted I realized you got the car keys still.
So I broke into my own old car.
I fell asleep on the passenger seat.
I dreamed of summer sex with you and you whispered in my ear:

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight
Why can't you leave me tomorrow instead?
Why can't you leave me tomorrow instead?

And above the clouds she said to herself 'I can't believe how naive a man can be.
That's why I love you so and that's why I can't be with you

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I´m yours by Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and then you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

(I won't hesitate)
Open up your mind and see like me
(No more, no more)
Open up your plans and man you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, please don't, please don't
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

  Scotland the Brave
  Lyrics
  Hark when the night is falling
  Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
  Loudly and proudly calling,
  Down thro' the glen.
  There where the hills are sleeping,
  Now feel the blood a-leaping,
  High as the spirits of the old Highland men.
  
  Towering in gallant fame,
  Scotland my mountain hame,
  High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
  Land of my high endeavour,
  Land of the shining river,
  Land of my heart for ever,
  Scotland the brave.
  
  High in the misty Highlands,
  Out by the purple islands,
  Brave are the hearts that beat
  Beneath Scottish skies.
  Wild are the winds to meet you,
  Staunch are the friends that greet you,
  Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.
  
  Towering in gallant fame,
  Scotland my mountain hame,
  High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
  Land of my high endeavour,
  Land of the shining river,
  Land of my heart for ever,
  Scotland the brave.
  
  Far off in sunlit places,
  Sad are the Scottish faces,
  Yearning to feel the kiss
  Of sweet Scottish rain.
  Where tropic skies are beaming,
  Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
  Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
  
  Towering in gallant fame,
  Scotland my mountain hame,
  High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
  Land of my high endeavour,
  Land of the shining river,
  Land of my heart for ever,
  Scotland the brave.

THE BOY DOES NOTHING

Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing Lyrics

I got a man with two left feet

And when he dances down to the beat

I really think that he should know

That his rhythms go go go

I got a man with two left feet

And when he dances down to the beat

I really think that he should know

That his rhythms go go go

CHORUS

Does he wash up? Never wash up

Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up

Does he brush up? Never brushed up

He does nothing the boy does nothing(Repeat chorus)

Hey boy how you been?

I got a thousand lines

Where do I begin?

And I, I been here, been there

TravelingI saw you at the corner

My vibe kicked in

AndTwo fieldsI clock you

Wearing tight jeans

A real nice suit

He was smiling like you

Was just seventeen

I asked him for a dance

He said ‘yes please’

Take a sip of dancing juice

Everybody’s onto you

Through the left and to the right

Everybody hit the rhythmIt’s on tonight

I’m gonna feel the heat within my soul

I need a man to take control

Let the melody blow you all away

CHORUS

Does he wash up? Never wash up

Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up

Does he brush up? Never brushed up

He does nothing the boy does nothing(Repeat chorus)

Work it out now

Work it, Work it out now
Do the mambo

Shake it all around now
Everybody on the floor

Let me see you clap your hands

I wanna see you work

I wanna see you move your body in turn

I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now

I wanna see you work

I wanna see you move your body in turn

I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now

CHORUS

Does he wash up? Never wash up

Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up

Does he brush up? Never brushed up

He does nothing the boy does nothing(Repeat chorus)

And if the man can’t dance, he gets no second chance

Edgar Allan Poe

This year we celebrate Edgar Allan Poe´s bicentenary. Here you can read his biography:

Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19th 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts and died on October 7th in Baltimore, Maryland. He is a famous short-story writer, poet, critic and editor known for his cultivation of mystery and the macabre.
His mother was English and she was an actress. His father was American and he was an actor too. After his mother died in 1811, when he was only two years old, he was grown up by John Allan, a Richmond merchant and his wife, but they never adopted him.
From 1815 to 1820 he lived in Scotland and England, where he was given a classical education and then moved to Richmond again. Then he studied at the University of Virginia for 11 months, but his guardian got angry with him because he had lost money by gambling at the university and he had to drop out. So he came back to Richmond to find her girlfriend engaged to another man.
Then he went to Boston and in 1827 he published a pamphlet of poems, Tamerlane. As he was very poor he was forced to join the army under the name of Edgar A. Perry. When her foster mother died, Allan took him out of the army and helped him enter the Military Academy at West Point. Meanwhile Edgar published a second book, El Araaf, Tamerlane and other poems.
In 1831 he got himself dismissed from the Academy by being absent from all the drills and classes for a week and went to New York, where he published a book , Poems. He then returned to Baltimore to live with his aunt and started writing prose tales. Five of these appeared in the Philadelphia Saturday Courier in 1832.
With the December issue of 1835, Poe began editing the Southern Literary Messenger for Thomas W. White in Richmond; he held this position until January, 1837. During this time, Poe married his young cousin, Virginia Clemm in Richmond on May 16, 1836. She was only 13.
Poe was dismissed from his job in Richmond, apparently for drinking, and went to New York City. Drinking was in fact a problem in his life.. While in New York City in 1838 he published a long prose narrative, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, combining (as so often in his tales) much factual material with the wildest fantasies. In 1839 he became coeditor of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine in Philadelphia. There a contract for a monthly feature stimulated him to write “William Wilson” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” stories of supernatural horror.
Later in 1839 Poe's Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque appeared (dated 1840). He resigned from Burton's about June 1840 but returned in 1841 to edit its successor, Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine, in which he printed the first detective story, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” In 1843 his “The Gold-Bug” won a prize of $100 from the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper, which gave him great publicity. In 1844 he returned to New York, wrote “The Balloon-Hoax” for the Sun, and became subeditor of the New York Mirror under N.P. Willis, thereafter a lifelong friend. In the New York Mirror of January 29, 1845, appeared his most famous poem, “The Raven,” which gave him national fame at once. Poe then became editor of the Broadway Journal, a short-lived weekly magazine , in which he republished most of his short stories, in 1845. His The Raven and Other Poems and a selection of his Tales came out in 1845, and in 1846 Poe moved to a cottage at Fordham (now part of New York City), where he wrote for Godey's Lady's Book (May–October 1846) “The Literati of New York City”—gossipy sketches on personalities of the day, which led to a libel suit.
The year 1846 was a tragic one. Poe rented the little cottage at Fordham, where he lived the last three years of his life. The Broadway Journal failed, and Virginia became very ill and died on January 30, 1847. After his wife's death, Poe perhaps yielded more often to a weakness for drink . He was unable to take even a little alcohol without a change of personality, and any excess was accompanied by physical prostration. Throughout his life those illnesses had interfered with his success as an editor, and had given him a reputation for intemperateness that he scarcely deserved.
In his latter years, Poe was interested in several women. They included the poetess, Mrs. Sarah Helen Whitman, Mrs. Charles Richmond, and the widow, Mrs. Sarah Elmira Shelton, whom he had known in his boyhood as Miss Royster.
The circumstances of Poe's death remain a mystery. After a visit to Norfolk and Richmond for lectures, he was found in Baltimore in a miserable condition and taken unconscious to a hospital where he died on Sunday, October 7, 1849. He was buried in the yard of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland.
In personal appearance, Poe was a quiet, shy-looking but handsome man; he was slightly built, and was five feet, eight inches in height. His mouth was considered beautiful. His eyes, with long dark lashes, were hazel-gray.
