Sometimes there is just too much beauty in the world

All I know

All I know is, what they tell me

All I know is that they like it that way

All I know is that they like me that way

Cos all I know is what they tell me

And what they tell me is all I ever need to know

And all I know is that they like it that way

Please don’t think, of anything I say

For all I know is that they probably planned it that way

Take the kids away for awhile

Don’t come back until technology is out of style

Cos all I know is what they tell me

And they keep telling that they are taking control of me

I can feel them they are taking control of me

I can feel them they are taking control of me

I can feel that I’m losing control of me

I used to dream of a simpler time

It was you and me babe the kids and a bottle of wine

But all I know now is what they tell me

They say my love is rotting in side of me

My love is rotting deep down inside of me

My love is rotting deep down inside of me

My love is rotting deep down inside of me

I’m not saying these words from my heart

I’m just reading from a programmed script in my mind

Cos all I know is what they tell me

And they keep telling me I’m nothing more than their machine

I’m nothing, more than their machine

I’m nothing, more than their machine

I’m nothing, more than their machine

I’m nothing but blowing in the wind

I’m nothing but waiting for my ship to come in

I’m nothing but a pawn in their game

I’M nothing but a tambourine waiting to be played

I’m nothing like a rolling stone

I’m nothing like Quinn the eskimo

I’m nothing but times are changing

I’m nothing now but times are changing

I’m nothing now but times are changing

I’m nothing now but times are changing

All I know is that they like me that way

It’s like I’m falling out of bed
From a long, weary dream
The sweetest flowers and fruits hang from trees
Falling off the giant bird that’s been carrying me
It’s like I’m falling out of bed
From a long and weary dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every root
Every gesture

I’m a heart in cold ground
Like I’m falling out of bed
From a long and weary dream
Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying

As my woman blows her cover
In the eye of the beholder
I’m a fish now out of water
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me

I fell open
I laid under
At the tip count
I was just a number
I want to tip it over
And lay back under

And if you think this is over
Then you’re wrong
If you think this is over
Then you’re wrong
If you think this is over
Then you’re wrong

(Wake me up, wake me up)
If you think this is over
Then you’re wrong
(Wake me up, wake me up)
Like I’m falling out of bed
From a long, weary dream
The sweetest flowers and fruits hang from trees

When I ask you again
When I ask you again
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up

Pink moon is on it’s way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It’s a pink moon
Hey, it’s a pink moon

It’s a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on it’s way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all

Foster the People - Pumped up Kicks

Robert’s got a quick hand
He’ll look around the room
He won’t tell you his plan
He’s got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth
He’s a cowboy kid
Yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
In his dad’s closet hidden in a box of fun things
And I don’t even know what
But he’s coming for you, yeah, he’s coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet
x1

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, yeah, he’s coming home late
And he’s bringing me a surprise
Because dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice
I’ve waited for a long time
Yeah, the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
And say your hair’s on fire
You must have lost your wits, yeah

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet
x1

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet

And I just love this song. Amazing dreamy pop!

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you’re all gone, got your make-up on
And you’re not coming back

Bleachin’ your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under your breath
Bleachin’ your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under my window

Park that car, drop that phone,
Sleep on the floor, dream about me

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you’re all gone, got your make-up on
And you’re not coming back

I heard this on All Watched Over by Machines of Love and Grace.

When I see you alone,
I see what’s in your mind.
You love me yes you do,
you don’t need to tell me.
I know you love me most,
no one else take my place.
You need me, yes you do.
Forever, and ever.

When we kiss,
I see what’s in your heart.
You love me yes you do,
you don’t need to tell me.
I know you love me most,
no one else take my place.
You need me, you do.
Forever, and ever.

We are in love, baby love child
I take you so high, groovy love child
Give me a kiss, baby love child
Do it again

Senna Review

Aryton Senna one of the greatest racing drivers of all time has been given the documentary biopic treatment and what a fantastic surprise it is. I for one am not a huge F1 fan. I watched a bit when I was younger but that was mainly under the influence of my older brother. I knew who Aryton was probably because it was his name that featured on the racing games of that time on the Sega master system if I remember right. I do remember watching the very race in which he died. I would have been ten or eleven. It felt very unreal. The crash doesn’t seem to bad or at least not as bad as some crashes I had seen the drivers get up and walk out of. But these things happen and Senna always looked to god. Anyway just wanted to establish that I am not a diehard Formula 1 fan in fact I have not watched a race for about 15 years.

The documentary is fantastically made. It has a perfect blend of on track and off track footage showcasing his rise to fame into his slightly more troubled years. The editing in particular is second to none and the story never halts. The movie is seamless and demands your attention and empathy immediately. The documentary focuses heavily on Sennas influence by god and his turbulent relationship with teammate Alain Prost. The movie shows all aspects of Sennas persona throughout his most formidable years from 1984 to 1994. It shows him as cheeky new comer, happy and care free, troubled, emotional, influential, outspoken, misquoted and lost. The movie really does have it all it personifies Senna immaculately.

When I heard the movie was a bit over two hours I was slightly put off but I am glad it didn’t turn me off completely as the movie never drags at any point (I will stay away from any racing puns). I went to see the movie in a surprisingly packed out cinema with my girlfriend who hates racing driving but when I turned round to her as the end credits rolled up she had tears streaming down her face and later said that she had been holding them in sine about 20-30 minutes into the movie because she knew how it ended.

The movie perfectly captures the essence of showbiz, emotion, desire, self-fulfilment and heartbreak. To have his life cut short at only 34 was a tragedy as he was an immense role model not just for Brazil but for young men and sportsmen alike throughout the world. This movie is not for fans of formula one racing but for fans of life itself. A must see!

Overall 9/10
