Now Playing: Roger Waters - Watching TV

We were watching TV In Tiananmen Square Lost my baby there My yellow rose In her bloodstained clothes She was a short order pastry chef In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway She had a shiny hair She was a daughter of an engineer Won't you shed a tear For my yellow rose My yellow rose In her bloodstained clothes She had a perfect breasts She had high hopes She had almond eyes She had yellow thighs She was a student of philosophy Won't you grieve with me For my yellow rose Shed a tear For her b… Continue

Now Playing: Lines In The Sand - Dream Theater

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss And the passion, we're craving There's a message we miss Sometimes when, the spirits left alone We must believe in something To find if we've grown Tragic reflex, shattered calm Static progress, senses gone Numb awareness, final psalm Swept away with the tide (Swept away with the tide) Through the holes in my hands (Through the holes in my hands) Crown of thorns at my side (Crown of thorns at my side, yeah, yeah, yeah) Drawing lines in the sand Sometimes, if y… Continue

Now Playing: Blackfield - My Gift Of Silence

If I compiled All my crimes and my lies, Into one mistake, Would you come back to me, The smile on my lips Is a sign that I don't hear you leaving me, And I don't hear my own soul scream, I'll read your lips, Watch your scarf play at your hips, And I know its true, But I don't hear him call to you, Don't blame yourself, Don't change yourself, Just want to be over you Save you love, Don't hate yourself, If I compiled All my crimes and my lies into one mistake, Would you come back to me, The s… Continue

Now Playing: Ian Moore - Stain

I'm lookin' through a compromised solution Humble till I'm livin' like a slave Make a stand if there was somethin' I believe in But I can't relate, y'all, I can't relate Stain my life, let me go on livin' Stain my eyes let me see my way Stain my heart, let me be forgiven Free my mind Searchin' for a soulful interaction Somethin' I can hold as my own But every time that I find somthin' I hold sacred My identity you strip from me, my heart, my soul Stain my life, let me go on livin' Stain my ey… Continue

Now Playing: Demians - Sapphire

Feeding the machine From this inner cage I made my body My son is staring at a sun that’s still to come But go figure it all, was it worth searching far beyond? Scratching the surface From this inner grave I built my country My love, i finally found the one I belong to But go figure it all, was it worth waiting for so long? To become the stone...? Follow me here, I’m on my way back (home) Crimson, we’ve become the stone and time may come See the man I’ve become And follow the child inside unt… Continue

Google Desktop - anyone use it?

So I just discovered Google Desktop (not sure what took me so long) and for the initial reaction, I'm kinda digging it. Got myself a cpu/battery monitor widget, digital clock, weather and gmail notifier. All in all, very cool. Anyone else using it and know of some cool widgets? Looking for a decent RSS widget.

Now Playing: Porcupine Tree - A Smart Kid

Stranded here on planet earth It's not much but it could be worse Everything's free here, there's no crowds Winter lasted five long years No sun will come again I fear Chemical harvest was sown And I will wait for you Until the sky is blue And I will wait for you What else can I do? A spaceship from another star They ask me where all the people are What can I tell them? I tell them I'm the only one There was a war but I must have won Please take me with you. -- Steven Wilson Continue
