Do not believe what others have said
When I die, I’d really be dead
Not in the dark plumes of a crow
You won’t find me in a circus show
Not in a Mumbai local train
I won’t be found in a bacterial strain
When you’re applying makeup and blush
I am not your oily hairbrush
Full of scurf and lice that bite
I am not your defunct tubelight
You may seek me; yes you may try
Or don’t; I have said my goodbye

we have a chameleon
living in places
a chameleon shouldn’t live
in a garden
watching
the flowers wilt
fall
root
rise
it just woke up one day and decided to become a flower
bees come for honey
the chameleon smiles
~ and feeds on them
Miley Cyrus’ Flowers, but written by a guy
I can buy myself powers
In my favourite videogame
Stay on it for hours
Do things you don’t understand
I can continue all night
With my online clan
Yeah, they can love me better than you can
We Didn’t Start The Fire: A Football Edition
This is a complete cover of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire. Last week I put a short cover out and I thought I’d top that one now. With so many controversies surrounding the beautiful game recently, I felt it was apt to make this song solely about it rather than global issues/affairs. Initially I was hesitant because I thought I would run out of ideas to put in the lyrics but it turned out not to be the case. In fact I had a lot of fun doing the lyrics. The lyrics are mentioned in the video’s description. As you will notice, the names/events mentioned in the song relate mostly to the 21st century; that is the period during which I have personally experienced and enjoyed football. So head over to youtube and enjoy the video! Waiting to hear your response.

Did we start the fire?
Was it always burning
Since the world’s been turning?
Did we start the fire?
Did we help to light it
Or we tried to fight it?
to the tune of Oasis’s Live Forever
Really, I would do anything for you
You know I would really do
Because I can’t think straight
Baby, did you ever hear a doubt
When I am about
Let me put it straight
Baby I would never leave
Bring you joy you best believe
I would never say goodbye
I would never hide or lie
I think you’re the same as me
I think we are meant to be
You and I are gonna be together
Really, I would do anything for you
You know I would really do
Because I can’t think straight
Baby, did you ever hear a doubt
When I am about
Let me put it straight
Look at me and you will see
All the love I hold for thee
You know our love would never die
Spread your wings and start to fly
If you’d only just believe
Everything we can achieve
You and I are gonna be together
Gonna be together
Gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
