Janela
Fechamos os olhos, passa um dia.
Adormecemos... passam anos.
Deixamos o tempo passar pelas nossas mãos... e a vida vai escorregando, sem a conseguirmos apanhar.
Tentamos apreciar o tempo...mas cansamo-nos do tédio.
Tentamos esquecer o tempo... embrenhando-nos em lazeres sem sentido, ou na azáfama quotidiana, e eis que lá estamos nós... a perguntar pelo tempo.
Sem querer, queremos o tempo mas também a ilusão.
Ilusão que nos mostra aquilo que queremos ver, coisas que já passaram... coisas que virão e passarão por nós mais uma vez, até que nos perguntaremos, no auge do nosso individualismo:
Onde se compra tempo?

O tempo

As pessoas desaparecem.
Os objectos despersonificam-se.
As memórias ficam como um vazio que se preenche ao longo de gerações.
As árvores resignam-se.
O Sol volta todos os dias como que para lembrar aos que por cá vão ficando que o tempo não se esquece.
A Noite enche as almas vazias de companhia.
O tempo passa...
Quem fica para se lembrar?

Cliché?
O tempo (livre).
A cumplicidade.
A humildade.
A sinceridade.
A cooperação.
A diferença que a nós nos faz..., bichos da cidade, ao entrar numa terra onde o ar nos enche de alegria e de tempo.
Sim... tempo. Porque no campo, há tempo para trabalhar, há tempo para descansar... e, surpreendam-se, tempo para estar com os outros. Uma verdadeira amálgama de custos de oportunidade ganhos que nos enchem de um espírito de produtividade que, ironicamente, se tornou o símbolo, imagine-se, dos centros urbanos.
Ainda chegará o tempo em que o êxodo será ao contrário. Não faltarão pessoas que, inundadas de cidade, rumarão às montanhas, aos vales, às planícies, aos pássaros, ao tempo, de forma a alcançarem o que os aglomerados urbanos e todos os seus benefícios financeiros nunca lhes pode oferecer... paz de espírito e aceitação.

Em tempos de Abril...
Se alguma dor existir
A roer dentro da toca
Deixa a tristeza sair
Pois só se aprende a sorrir
Com a verdade na boca
Quem canta uma alegria que não tem
Não conta nada a ninguém
Fala verdade a mentir
Cada alegria que inventas
Mata a verdade que tentas
Pois e tentar a fingir
Não cantes alegrias de encomenda
Que a vida não se remenda
Com morte que não morreu
Canta da cabeça aos pés
Canta com aquilo que és
Só podes dar o que é teu

Human vs Animal

I, for one, think that the Human spirit can only lift to universal respect of the human rights if we treat animals in the same respectful way.
In times like these, where the Human not only disrespects the Nature but also its equals, saying we should put Animal rights in a secondary role is only a subterfuge to keep the status quo that serves only the private interests of a minority that tends to tells us how to live.
It is my belief that we can only achieve unity if we treat the Nature as something as important as ourselves. Animals were here way before us, why should we treat them only in productive eyes? The way we treat them not only is hurtful to the Nature itself, but also to the behaviour we have to others like us. Torture, Lack of Basic Freedoms, Genocide, Race and Genre Persecution, Human Trafficking (yes, we even trade our own kind)... I just can't think of anything more beastful than that.
All this eventually leads me to think that we deserve more the adjective "animals" than the real ones...

Naivity Day

Será que só a mim isto me faz confusão?
Carta Universal dos Direitos Humanos... rings a bell? Parece que não.
É este o mundo em que vivemos, em que a economia regula as relações externas, mesmo que estas contribuam para o aumento da miséria daqueles que dos recursos naturais que têm no próprio país nem o cheiro sentem... quanto mais a riqueza que, como por magia, parece chegar sempre ao mesmo destino.
Por mais utópico que este discurso possa soar, em nada traz novidades para ninguém. Afinal de contas, esta é a história da humanidade e assim irá continuar até que a palavra interesses seja definitivamente substituída pelo bem comum, o que, a meu ver, nem daqui a dois milénios acontecerá.
Até lá, ergamos a tenda ao senhor Khadafi, que ele num bom dia até chega a estar bem-disposto...
A nossa economia agradece.

Pain

I don't do too much talking
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Woman of the Month

Christine Collins sued the city, and Jones for false imprisonment, and 1,000 furious citizens attended a hearing about the Collins case before the City Council's health and welfare committee. Giant speakers had to be hung from the outside of City Hall to accommodate the overflow crowds.
Christine Collins made a positive difference; she was an unlikely pioneer. One of the final outcomes of her suing the City of Los Angeles was the California State Legislature passing a law that requires law enforcement to have a warrant before a person can be incarcerated in a (lock up) psychiatric ward/facility.
The body of Walter Collins was never found.

Ora, se as próprias pessoas se mostram incapazes de agir para corrigir injustiças que as afectam pessoalmente -porque preferem não ser aborrecidas- como é que se pode pedir a alguém que aja quando a situação não lhe diz respeito (embora a injustiça seja por demais evidente)?
Pois... não pode.
É por estas e por outras que nunca nada há-de mudar neste país.

A Lesson

Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble it won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard

Palavras...
Paz / Verdade
À partida, temos dois conjuntos de palavras que nada têm em comum. Numa segunda reflexão, começam a emergir semelhanças por demais evidentes.
Compare-se conceitos como Guerra e Mentira... ambos estão automaticamente associados com a realidade pura e dura. A Guerra e a Mentira sempre existiram, desde que Eva trincou a maçã. Sempre existiram e sempre existirão, não estaremos aqui com utopias...
Esperem, disse utopia? Palavra não há mais adequada para comparar os conceitos de Paz e Verdade. Afinal, ambos os conceitos são de tal forma abstractos que seria impossível observar um governo a planear com tanto afinco a paz com um dado país, da mesma maneira que planeia uma guerra. Da mesma forma, não se vê um governo a expor toda a verdade por trás dos "processos de paz" ou mesmo do verdadeiro intuito de uma guerra.
Mesmo recorrendo a um ponto de vista quantitativo, que conjunto de conceitos se encontra mais presente na nossa realidade? A verdade? Se assim fosse o mundo seria MUITO diferente. E mais não digo... A paz? Só a consigo conceber num mundo onde as disparidades e a cobiça não existissem entre países... algo que nem daqui a dois milénios deverá acontecer. O resto são apenas cessassões temporárias do conflito, movidas por interesses puramente materiais.
Meus amigos, a cada minuto a mentira e a guerra multiplicam-se, enquanto os outros dois, esses pertencem aos romances, filmes, sonhos.
Seria possível e viável começar a ver tudo isto de maneira inversa? Não sei.
É possível evitar guerras e a mentira? Sem dúvida.
Speechless
You made me believe in your most unbelievable stories.

You made me back you up in the most "unbackable" situations.

Yet...
You never fooled me...
(deep inside I knew something was wrong with you)
Now go play your sick games with someone else

Medo... muito medo.
-Será do penteado à executiva ou dos óculos que conferem um certo tom intelectual (o que para o mais comum dos americanos significa saber apontar o Iraque no mapa...)?
-Será pelo facto da sua experiência se limitar ao cargo governadora desse grande e complexo Estado americano que é o Alaska?
-Será por ter uma filha adolescente com 17 anos, grávida (entre vírgulas porque não tem problema absolutamente nenhum), que romanticamente, vai casar com o seu príncipe encantado e ser feliz para sempre?
Hummm... realmente não percebo. É que além de todas estas virtudes, a criatura reúne ainda todas aquelas qualidades magnânimes dos republicanos:
- é pró-vida
- está a favor da posse legal de armas (mesmo que todos os dias nos EUA morram crianças por acidentalmente brincarem com as pistolas, imponentes e atribuidoras de virilidade, dos seus pais)
- é pró-vida
- é a favor da pena de morte
- é pró-vida
- é a favor da guerra (quantas mais melhor.. mesmo que na Guerra do Iraque,esse monumento ao patriotismo americano, já tenham morrido mais americanos que no atentado do 9/11)
- é pró-vida
- é a favor do lucrativo sistema de saúde americano (responsável por milhares de mortes todos os anos, na maior parte doentes cuja intervenção cirúrgica que lhes salvaria a vidafoi-lhes negada pelas seguradoras de forma a obterem o tão amado lucro)
- é pró-vida

"Estou maravilhado!"

"Foi absolutamente magnífico!"
"Perfeito!"
Ora, tendo acabado de visionar a abertura dos Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim, com algum desdém perante a (muita) hipocrisia que ali se manifestava (*cough* Comité Olímpico *cough*) e tentando não cair na teia do espectáculo de cores e movimentos que prentendia fazer esquecer toda a (merecida) polémica que envolveu a China pré-JO, qual foi o meu espanto ao perceber que as pessoas à minha volta tinham de facto caido na armadilha, encontrando-se estupefactas e muito, mas muito, maravilhadas."Duvido que a Inglaterra supere tal feito!" engoli eu ainda num estado de semi-espanto. De repente, o xadrez internacional tinha-se resumido a um mero campeonato de espectáculos de fogo de artifício, colocando em pano secundário o facto de a China ser uma ditadura há 40 anos e a Inglaterra das mais antigas democracia no mundo. "O que é que isso interessa?" provavelmente pensariam os embevecidos... "O que interessa é que o chinês voou ao acender a tocha olímpica!" Realmente, quem é que quer saber das democracias e das ditaduras? Sinceramente...
e enquanto não se revoltarem não poderão tomar consciência."

Old text

Well... I'm back!
During the holidays, I came across this text I wrote 3 years ago.
Guess the years do not affect my mind at any measure...
Clara tem apenas 16 anos, mas vê o mundo à sua volta como o mais vivido dos adultos. É realista e muito, muito crítica. Clara queria apenas ser uma adolescente normal: divertir-se com os amigos, dizer parvoíces (para os outros se rirem), viver sem pensar na realidade e nas consequências, enfim, viver a vida. Porém, Clara destaca-se dos demais adolescentes pela sua inteligência, racionalidade, perspicácia, sentido de oportunidade, ironia e, acima de tudo, pelos seus valores e convicções, que não abandona por nada deste mundo. A sua racionalidade fá-la afastar-se dos demais, fá-la passar por anti-social (seja lá o que isso for), e mesmo antipática... No entanto, ela apenas é fiel à sua personalidade (sim... ela tem uma personalidade própria), ao contrário dos demais que, pela sua falsidade, têm um ar de felicidade radiante, um ar despreocupado. como se nada transportassem sobre os seus ombros. São esses os mais populares, os favoritos dos professores, e dos colegas. Afinal de contas, não são incovenientes, estando sempre no sitío certo à hora certa prontos a "ajudar" com o sorriso, qual máquina automática, obviamente ligado.
Para Clara, tudo isto é claro como a água... «Pena as pessoas terem os olhos vendados e os ouvidos fechados para tudo o que não lhes traz benefício próprio» pensa Clara, só."

Hard work=Success?
I am tired.
Yet I see no results nor rewards.
However, I keep working and putting myself to the limit.
Why all these efforts?
Why all this shitty attitude? What am I trying to prove to myself and the others?
Why keeping with all the struggle if no one around me gives a shit, ?
Why don't I just give up and admit I'm a human too?
Because, in the end of the day, all I want is to say one day, that I've given my best in everything I ever took part.
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
whom these feelings I share
Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear
But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life,
That we're all goin' through

Woman of the Month

Elizabeth Tudor is considered by many to be the greatest monarch in English history. When she became queen in 1558, she was twenty-five years old, a survivor of scandal and danger, and considered illegitimate by most Europeans. She inherited a bankrupt nation, torn by religious discord, a weakened pawn between the great powers of France and Spain. She was only the third queen to rule England in her own right; the other two examples, her cousin Lady Jane Grey and half-sister Mary I, were disastrous. Even her supporters believed her position dangerous and uncertain. Her only hope, they counseled, was to marry quickly and lean upon her husband for support. But Elizabeth had other ideas.
She ruled alone for nearly half a century, lending her name to a glorious epoch in world history. She dazzled even her greatest enemies. Her sense of duty was admirable, though it came at great personal cost. She was committed above all else to preserving English peace and stability; her genuine love for her subjects was legendary. Only a few years after her death in 1603, they lamented her passing. In her greatest speech to Parliament, she told them, 'I count the glory of my crown that I have reigned with your love.' And five centuries later, the worldwide love affair with Elizabeth Tudor continues.

Rambling
People will always get advantage of you in the end. Believe me, if they were honest about what they wanted from you, this would never happen.
If I wanted things to be different? Oh yeah! And that´s why I never get confortable with the reality... that´s why I never act like the others do. I don´t pretend. That´s it. I´m myself. The others... well they´re playing roles that suits their goals... they´re happy like that... and they have to! Afterall... it´s those people who get well on life! Not the fools who keep pointing out the truth looking pathetic before the reproving looks of the people that call you "stubborn", "inconvenient" and so on. I tell you... everyday is a struggle for me. Everyday I get more upset, Sometimes I ask myself if all this worries are worthy... I don´t have to think much about it. My heart knows they absolutely are.
When I speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me"

Taurus

I have never been someone to pay attention to astrology, horoscopes or whatsoever... neverthless, the following is a very precise description of my being, which quite surprised me:
- "Tactile and sensuous, you have a nose for personal comfort and physical pleasure.
- You are nevertheless quite pragmatic, with a good appreciation for the financial values as well as any aesthetic qualities.
- Taureans are very strong-willed and often quite creative.
- You are kind and generous with friends, with whom you develop an unspoken rapport.
- Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, love music.
- You tend to be rather subdued, but you have a fine sense of humour, and enjoy your social life.
- Down to earth, a no-nonsense approach, saying what they mean with a very strong sense of values.
- Their mind is closed to new ideas and a certain unwillingness to change, determined and do not buckle under pressure and adversity.
- They are also extremely patient, and dependable along the way.
- Patient, loyal, caring, shy and reserved, taureans are slow to anger but once annoyed, they will rage and turn ferocious and unstoppable.
- They are stubborn, carrying this trait to all spheres in life, thereby, in a way, closing the options for a better life.
- Taureans love to reap the rewards.
- They simply want to get things done, and it is that steady, dogged persistence which begets the nickname 'stubborn'.
- Their strength is in their stability, loyalty and dogged determination. They want to get the job done, and they will."

A song (I wish was written for me)

It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll bee here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeah
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care"

19 years old

The last year of teenager they say... Maybe that can turn out to be a relief! Who knows...
I can only wish for more peace of mind and perhaps even happiness in my life... although that´s something you have to work throughout all your life.
I also wish I could be more calm and less worried about things from now on... maybe even being more impulsive and less rational (if that´s possible).
Anything apart from that, I don´t want to change. I love myself, and besides not getting any kind of recognition, I´ll stick to my beliefs until someone can finally understand me.
Well... let´s just wait and see what my 19 years old are to bring...

Where are the others?
Deprime-me a falta de bom senso.
Deprime-me a falta de humildade.
Deprime-me a hipocrisia de pessoas que dizem compreender-me mas que no fundo, estão muito longe de tal facto.
Deprimem-me pessoas sem carácter.
Deprimem-me PSEUDO-intelectuais.
Deprime-me o não cumprimento da palavra dada.
Deprime-me a desonestidade.
Deprime-me esta solidão constante proveniente do meu vínculo fechado para com os meus valores.
Deprime-me esta pouca liberdade de estar presa às minhas convicções que teimam em ser defraudadas a cada dia que passa.
No entanto, sei que neste Mundo tão grande e complexo, não sou a única pessoa a pensar desta maneira. A pergunta que coloco nestes momentos de total inconformismo, é a seguinte:

Loneliness

You start talking and there´s no one to hear you.
You start dreaming... there´s no one to share the dreams with.
You feel lonely... no one gives a shit.
You are misunderstood... because no one even tries to get your point.
You sit alone because suddenly, you aren´t the funny one anymore.
You start crying... there´s no one to confort you.
You want to breath... but you can´t.
You want to scream... but deep inside... you know that won´t help.
Yes... you´re alone. But the more lonely you are, the more powerful you get. Because deep inside, you know that you´re growing up, into something better, than all the insignificant rest.
"When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well"

Trust

You might think I´m too cold or something like that. Maybe I am... but quite sadly, based on my life experience, that has always proven to be the best/smartest decision I could ever made.
That way, I can always see it coming. That way, I´m cautious and I don´t get caught (again) in surprise by acts of people you thought you could trust.
In the end, in this life, you´re all alone, all by yourself, and when you trully need someone to give you some strenght, guess what? The other people are way more interested in their own business. I don´t blame them... Individualism rules the world... but is it too bad to stop for a while, and care, maybe just a little, for the one who is next to you? I really wish that was possible. But life taught me it isn´t... so, guess what? I can´t count on anybody but myself.
Maybe one day, I´ll find a person that really gets me, and REALLY cares. Until then... I´ll keep pursuing my dreams and my beliefs, on my own. :)

Amsterdam, Dreams & Company

I must add that during this trip, which was coming along almost perfectly, I saw two of my dreams coming true... which had never happened before in my life, in my last hours in Amsterdam.
I was getting kinda hopeless towards my dreams, thought they´d never come true. But finally, it happened. Guess if you keep struggling, you get there (and thrust me... sometimes it takes too long, but do never lose the hope).
What were those dreams, you might be wondering...
1) Watching Velvet Revolver in the front row, on the Slash´s side of the stage (which I did, in another country, in a venue I didn´t know, and just getting 1h before the show).
2) Meeting Slash and other members of the band (which coincidentally, they were right there, on the airport, on a departure gate in front of mine... can you believe it!? haha :D).
For you, this might be insignificant, maybe somehow foolish, but for me, making these two come true, in less then 8h, means everything in the world. It means I can do it. It means I can accomplish things. I know it represented a role in my life, it was one of the things I wanted to achieve and I did it. And I sure feel more complete now. And this sure came in the right timing, as I was feeling too lost and hopeless in this world (as you can see in my somewhat depressing posts below).

Just because...
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong"

"Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me"
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?
The story is old - I know
But it goes on
The story is old - I know
But it goes on
Oh, goes on
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

Shall we start moving, shall we wait?
Shall we keep hitting the same button, shall we move on?
Can one start over, for real?
So many questions...

Thinking...

Wouldn´t it be much easier if sometimes you could shut your brains down? And just live... without thinking... Now that sure would be interesting!
It´s whithin these days that you find that you don´t have anything which fulfill your needs... and you have to go on with it (as if you weren´t used to it already). And boy... it sucks (hard)!

You spend a lifetime looking for someone
And then they come and youre just so uneasy
You get the feeling that if I dont come
Then theres one more story be on your way"

Alcohol

Fica aqui uma música de umas das minhas bandas favoritas, acerca de todo o desencanto pela vida e pelas pessoas, assim como o poder do álcool, refúgio de tantas e tantas pessoas face a um Mundo tão injusto e cruel...
I'm tired of everyone I know
Of everyone I see
On the street
And on TV, yeah
On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side
I hate them all, I hate them all
I hate myself
For hating them
so I'll drink some more
I'll love them all
I'll drink even more
I'll hate them even more than I did before
On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side
Here we go
I remember when you came
You taught me how to sing
Now, it seems so far away
You taught me how to sing
I'm tired of being so judgemental
Of everyone
I will not go to sleep
I will train my eyes to see
That my mind is as blind as a branch on a tree
On the other side
On the other side
I know what's waiting for me
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
I know you're waiting for me
On the other side

Patience
Wouldn´t it be wonderful if we had some sort of remote control where we could skip some parts of your life? Imagine fast-forwarding it.. or going backwards... to that moment where you were the most happiest person in the entire world... untill it vanished at the speed of the light... and the world was back again on full gas... Was it a dream? It was all so fast...
How come good things happen and end so quickly while bad stuff keeps coming and coming without a deadline (imagine a disclaimer saying: bad days due to end soon)? It would be really damn nice you know?
Oh well... guess what? Just a little MORE patience...

People...
My own way
I´m on my way
My own way
Will you come along?
I´m sure you won´t.
You don´t understand.
No one does… but me
I didn´t mean to hurt you
But I´m on my way
My own way.
I see things differently
Blame me if you want… but it ain´t easy to be me
I know nothing about love
It doesn´t make sense to me
But…afterall
nothing does
Again, I´m on my way
And I´m sure you don´t want to come along
It would be too hard for you
Too much to think… too much to say
And I´m on my way, all by myself
Seeking the truth that no one cares about…
But me.

I´m this person...

I´m this person who believes that our hard work, our efforts, our values and our moral will lead us to a good path in this life... that someday, we will get rewarded for having behaved fairly, according to justice, and to our own beliefs.
I´m this person who believes that one day, honesty will prevail above hipocrisy...
...that and one day, I will wake up and tell myself that all this that I´m going through now was worth it... because, in the end, all that matters is that I lived as I believed.
Here´s some lyrics of this beautiful song by Whitney Houston which in part relates to what I´m feeling and have exposed in this post:
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us how we used to be
And if by chance, that special place
That youve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

The beginning...

I have no idea what will be brought out from this blog, but I assure it will come right from my soul... as I´m honest that way. Talking about honesty, wouldn´t world be a much better place if we all were a bit more sincere? haha... I´ll talk about that on another occasion... For now, I´ll just post the lyrics of my favourite song of all time, and basically, the theme of my life.
Can anybody find me somebody to love
Each morning I get up and die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody (twice)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day) I take home my hard
earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees and start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord-somebody-somebody
Please can anybody find me, somebody to love?
He works hard
Everyday-I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
they say I'm going crazy
They say I've got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Anybody find me someone to love?
Got no feel I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and
losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright he's alright)
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday, I'm gonna be free Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me....Somebody to love?
Find me somebody to love...
by Queen
(Thank you Freddie... wherever you are right now)
