    8 things that have changed in '08:

    1. Finally broke the $100 mark on a pair of jeans (of this, I am not proud)

    2. Started 2008 with absolutely no scheme for world domination (this is a first for me)

    3. Doubled my international repertoire

    4. Now know exactly where I want to be living 3 years from now.

    5. Have no idea what "Love" is (this is also a first for me)

    6. After a long dry spell (2 yearsish) I am back into playing guitar and writing songs

    3. Lost

    4. Big Shots

  • Lastnight we were walking through a meadow

    holding hands

    The moon shining on our faces

    when

    A darkness blew over us and filled your hair

    My heart was dry

    I longed to gulp that which was lacked

    Your fingers fell to your side

     

    I called for you

    Then I woke

    The darkness spoke to me:

    "These pleasures are a vapor, they will never fill your cup"

  • Leaving on a jet plane.

    Lookout London, here I come... With my mum :)

    She Smiles

    She’s nobodies girl, she makes her own rules

    She’ll make you a winner, then she’ll make you lose

    You’ll never know it’s over,

    Till she’s moved along

    And what you thought you had

    Is suddenly gone

     

    Then she’ll hold your hand

    And she’ll take your heart

    And she’ll smile at you

    While she tears it apart

    Then she’ll look at you

    With those lonely eyes of hers

    And she’ll smile --- yeah she’ll smile

     

    She’s nobody’s girl, and some might disagree

    They think they can tame her, but then she runs free

    They cannot have her

    Cause she can’t be had

    And they’ll never understand

    Why they want her so bad

     

    But she’ll hold their hand

    And she’ll take their heart

    And she’ll smile at them

    While she tears it apart

    Then she’ll look at them

    With those lonely eyes of hers

    And she’ll smile --- and she’ll smile

     

    She gave him her world, and he took it with him

    She gave him her rose, and he gave her back a stem

    He said she was missing

    What he thought he’d need

    He cut her so deep...

    I can still see her bleed

     

    And she held his hand

    While he took her heart

    And she smiled at him

    While he tore it apart

    Then she looked at him

    With those lonely eyes he gave her

    And she smiled --- yeah she smiled

     

    ****

    Just when I thought, I’d learned my lesson

    And I was sure I’d never fall again

    I built myself up as strong as I could be

    That’s when I caught her staring at me

    ****

     

    Now she holds my hand

    And I hold her heart

    And when she smiles at me

    Well that’s just the start

    She looks at me

    With those loving eyes of hers

    And she smiles

     

    Cause when I hold her hand

    She holds my heart

    And when we smile at each other

    That’s just the start

    And when I look at her

    With these loving eyes of mine

    She smiles --- and she smiles
