Here are the lyrics to the beautiful Pulp song "I Spy".
I couldn't find them online with the correct line breaks, so here it is
Did you know that in France, people cannot put copyrighted song lyrics online, since it's forbidden by law? Isn't that retarded?



Pulp - "I Spy"
Jarvis Cocker

I spy a boy
I spy a girl
I spy the worst place
in the world
In the whole wide world
Oh you didn't do bad
you made it out
I'm still stuck here
Oh but I'll get out
Oh yeah
I'll get out

‘How slow the horses go’

How slow the horses go,
how dim the lantern’s gleam!
These strangers surely know
where they’re taking me.

I’m confident in their care,
I’m cold: sleep, my desire:
Catapulted at the corner
Towards the starry fire.

A head nodding feverishly
a strange hand, tender, icy,
and outlines of dark fir trees,
there – unseen by me.

‘Ласточка/The Swallow’

I've forgotten the word I meant to say.
A blind swallow returns to the palace of shadows
On clipped wings, to play with transparent things.
A night song's sung in unconsciousness.

You wake up in the night and you feel
Like everything around you is so real
You cannot find the day and let go
Of all the things that touched you from within
Of all the things that make you feel so unreal

As I was telling a friend of mine recently, judging a film by its director or its cast is pretty much like judging a book by its cover.
Numerous technicians who are very often ignored or overlooked by filmgoers still provide a visible, and essential, element of the experience. People usually stay convinced that it is the technician’s charge to remain invisible, yet a film is a ( more... )

When I was just a little kid I had this "Car Dominos" game where you're supposed to be a good little boy and go from point A to point B which is, basically, putting together two cards that represent two halves of the same car.
But when you're a creative kid and you think boundaries are for lame, uninventive people, you would do just like me and put together whatever car halves looked cool when put together.
And in your little kid brain you'd think something along the lines of "whoa... when I'm old I'm so going to chainsaw cars and put all the cool halves together with all the cool halves and leave alone all the boring halves, and then I'll have lots of cool looking cars no one else will have..." And, eventually, you end up not doing it.
But you still come across the domino game every once in a while, just like one would come across any toy that lets your imagination develop, toys you just can't toss because they're STILL sources of inspiration even when you're grown up.
And that's when you think that your mom could have taken you to see a shrink he would have said "madam, I'm really sorry, but your son is going to be a creative person. I really hope we can fix this or he'll end up being one of those beatniks. Bring me your son next Friday, same time?""
