    I never felt magic crazy as this
    I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
    I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
    Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
    But now you’re here
    Brighten my northern sky

    “She stayed with me until she moved to Notting Hill,
    She said it was the place she needs to be.
    Where the cocaine is Fairtrade, and frequently displayed
    Is the Buena Vista Social Club CD.”

    “When the people of the country have forgotten how to disagree,
    The national economy is said to be ‘OK’.
    The wages that you get will help you to forget,
    Will you keep your ideologies or throw them all away?”

    This seems a good moment to make my first post

    I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
    England is mine, and it owes me a living

    “Money talks
    But it don’t sing and dance
    And it don’t walk”
    (Neil Diamond)

    The first song lyrics that made me think as a kid. Maybe corny nowadays, but still has a place in what I feel is important in life.

    Lime and limpid green, a second scene
    A fight between the blue you once knew.
    Floating down, the sound resounds
    Around the icy waters underground.
    Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
    And Titania, Neptune, Titan.
    Stars can frighten
    .

    Sin sinners, I got to talk to you about your sins
    Sins on street corners, Sins in your shops
    Sinny Sin Sins in your streets of yours
    Sins in your eyes, sins gonna make you cry
    Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
    Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
    There are no Sins like sins.

    I was raised in a pentecostal Church of God
    My father was the deacon, he used to stand preaching
    I used to to steal collection, I used to catch a beating
    Forgive me Lord, I knew not what I did
    I was just a kid, trying to hustle up a quid
    Feeling kinda ashamed, riding in the Church right
    Bible in my hand, dressed in my sunday best.
    Reach a Churchyard and I’m feeling depressed
    I’m in the midst of the well-dressed, talking ’bout singing, singing
    thanks and praise to the king of the Jews
    And I’m all confused, ‘cos I can’t see the sense
    Why should I turn the other cheek and get beat?
    Ain’t no peace without war so who am I?
    The faster drives benz, got me looking to the sky
    singing soon, very soon, we gonna see the king
    Soon oh, very soon, we all gonna be blamed.

    Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
    There are no Sins like sins.

    Woke up one Sunday, feeling kinda raw
    I said “Dad, I don’t really want to go Church no more”
    Soon as I said shit, I felt a slap to my jaw
    He said “Son, as long as your living under my roof
    Your gonna heed my interpretation of the truth
    And the truth is right here
    It’s written in this book the Holy Bible
    It’s the key to survival so you best heed the word”
    He said, “Do as I say, not what I do
    And you’ll see, goodness will follow you”
    begrudgingly, I ironed my shirt, polish my shoes
    Went to Chruch and I took in their far-out views
    with their strange perceptions of Heaven and Hell.
    To this very day I still fight down their spell
    ‘Cos all that we pray, we still stay poor
    With that leaky roof dripping on the front room floor.

    Sins gonna make you cry
    Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
    Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
    There are no Sins like sins.

    Please don’t get me twisted, I’m far from a heathen
    This is just a simple song of basic rhyme and reason
    It’s not my meaning to demean or blaspheme
    But most things in the Bible ain’t as plain as they seem
    Can I trust King James to translate these papers?
    Do I need a middle-man to link with the creator
    Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
    Church band plays, now I’m spending my pound
    Looking for a short-cut to the road to Zion
    We can’t fool God, but we wasting time trying
    Two third of the truth is yet to be told
    Two thousand years of corruption soon unfold

    Sins in your eyes, sins gonna make you cry
    Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins?
    Oh Lord can you help me with my sin sin sinners?
    There are no Sins like sins
