ALP - Old and Wise

Old and Wise Lyrics
Artist(Band):Alan Parsons Project


(Lead vocal - Colin Bluntstone)

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

By Fire Be Purged!

Unggun-bersih

Semakin lara kita didera bara –
kita laungkan juga pesan merdeka:
Demokrasi sebenderang mentari
sehasrat hajat semurni harga diri.

Lama resah kita – demokrasi luka;
lama duka kita – demokrasi lara.
Demokrasi yang angkuh, kita cemuhi;
suara bebas yang utuh, kita idami!

Dua abad lalu Sam Adams berseru
(di Boston dijirus teh ke laut biru):
Tak diperlu gempita sorak yang gebu,
diperlu hanya unggun api yang syahdu.

Kini menyalalah unggun sakti itu;
kini merebaklah nyala unggun itu.
Translation:

Cleansing Fire 

Even as we are lashed by the sickening fire,
we still shout out the message of Merdeka:
Democracy as brilliant as the sun,
united in purpose as pure as self-worth.

Long have we been restless – democracy is wounded;
Long have we been sad – democracy is ill.
Democracy that is arrogant disgusts us;
We dream of a free voice that is full and strong!

Two centuries ago Sam Adams declared
(in Boston while tea was being poured into the blue sea):
No need for noisy, trivial cheering,
all that’s needed is a serene bonfire.

Light now that magic fire;
illuminate to others the flame of that fire.

Pergi Terlalu Jauh - Tiamat

Sudah ku melaluinya berjuta kali, sebelum ini
Kelemahanku mengetuk-ngetuk pintu sengsara
Sudah terlambat untuk ku menyesal, aku tahu

Kerana masih aku mendambakannya,
Seperti pagi merindukan mentari

Pergi terlalu jauh untukku kembali
Dan tak akan mudah bagiku meninggalkan
Pergi terlalu jauh untukku kembali
Mungkin di sini untuk selamanya

Hanyalah benar untuk mengatakan
Aku seharusnya memikul semua ini
Aku memutuskan untuk berdiri di sini

Masih, aku mendambakan Malaysia
Seperti Melayu merindukan hujan batu

Huey Lewis + - Stuck With You

Stuck With You Lyrics
Artist(Band):Huey Lewis and The News



We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me

We've had our doubts, we never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me

Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me


We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'Cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me
Yes its true (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
I'm happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you.

Anything..., Is Your God

Sheikh Qadir Jilani

Anything you call upon, is a god.
Anything you depend on, is your god.
Anything you fear, is your god.
Anyone you implore, is your god.
Look at yourself.
Your heart does not agree with your tongue
And your actions are in conflict with your words.
Say: "Allah u Akbar"
One thousand times in your heart
Before you say it even once with your tongue.
Are you not ashamed of yourself
To say "There is no god other than Allah,"
When in truth you worship one thousand deities besides Him.
Repent to Him from all your lies.

To Dream the Impossible Dream

**I found this comment in ART-Harun's other blog (Navel Gazing), and read some posts, and stumbled upon some comments, and I like this one. That's all**

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

Al-fatihah for Apis Din

Apisdin, my best friend, just passed away, this morning 10AM.
may Allah bless him and place him in heaven.

I feel very very sad.
I almost cry and if I don't have many works to do I would have crying a river already.

and the fact that I didn't call him even once when he was in ward is making me sadder.
I always thought that he would recover and we will go out and laugh together like we always did.

I will surely miss him.
he is one of a kind.

anyway, I screenshotted his latest post in his facebook.

 
his last post is Feb 20.
and I didn't log in facebook often.
and today is March 2nd.

Zee Avi - Someone You Used to Know

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqR3D1pr9_Q
Someone You Used to Know
Copyright 2008

It was helpless anyway
There's nothing much we could do or say
Darling don't you think it's a shame?
that it had to end this way

So here's to say goodbye,
our love is lost, and we cant figure why
maybe it really is about time
that we finally made up our minds

So Darling, here's to you
i hope that when you find someone new
that she would always be true to you
to love and understand you

Soon you'll build new memories
then slowly you'd forget about me
then i would slowly be
a distant memory

*Soon I'll just be
that someone you used to know
But darling you will thank me
for letting you go
time is not for wasting
i hope you'll find your intended
But I'm sorry
that your intended isn't me

it's not an easy thing
to shake off our history
i know that's what you want from me
but they will always stay with me

i admit i made mistakes
but darling with you it's just the same
if we stay there will be more to make
i don't know how much more we can take

Darling, it would be unfair
to stay with something no longer there
but it doesn't mean i no longer care
but I'd feel like a burden you can't bear

Air Supply - Just As I Am

Air Supply - Just As I Am
(Rob Hegel/Dick Wagner)

I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

CHORUS
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can

You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

CHORUS

I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me

Soil(?) - True Self

FTH : "True Self"
I have been searching youtube for For The Horde videos, and found a video with this song in it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLT1OPa_pSY

"True Self"


Honor - Choices that you make, reflect of whom you truly are
Courage - Rise above the masses, live your life complete and strong
Compassion - Is the power that must be used for the good of all
Loyal - To the ones in my care, standing true for what the cause

My soul has been searching, longing for something
I see my true self and I have learned well

Honesty - There are no shades of grey, only truth as it can be
Sincere - Don't need to give my word, to speak of such, is the same thing
Courtesy - There's no need to prove strength, even respect your enemies
Values - This is the code I feel, emotions without words, can speak

My soul has been searching, longing for something
I see my true self and I have learned well
My true self

Insight, intelligence, integrity, the honor that is in my soul

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

"You're Beautiful"

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Liyana Jasmay - Aku Tak Percaya Cinta

Liyana Jasmay - Aku Tak Percaya Cinta:

Hey hey hey hey
Aku tak percaya cinta
Aku tak percaya cinta
Aku tak percaya C I N T A

Namaku tak perlu disebutkan
dari suara pasti kau kenalku
rupaku tak payah dibayangkan
memang kau tak rugi bertemuku

Ku selalu lihat dari jauh
kutahu kaupun rasa sesuatu
bila kau perlu diriku tiada
biar menjadi misteri hidupmu

Aku tak pernah fikirkan cinta
sekadar mengusik kamu
biarlah cinta yang datang padaku
aku tak percaya

Aku tahu kau ingin bercinta
janganlah cepat jatuh cinta
berkawan dahulu baru ceritanya sempurna

Hey hey hey hey

Memang benar kau jadi rebutan
ramai gadis yang terpikat denganmu
tapi aku beza dari semua
bukan aku menjual mahal

Kerana ku cukup semua
hanya tiada hmmm teman lelaki
sekadar sekadar cuci mata
melihat lelaki seperti kamu

Aku tak pernah fikirkan cinta
sekadar mengusik kamu
biarlah cinta yang datang padaku
aku tak percaya

Aku tahu kau ingin bercinta
janganlah cepat jatuh cinta
berkawan dahulu baru ceritanya sempurna

Hey hey hey hey
Aku tak percaya cinta
Aku tak percaya cinta
Aku tak percaya C I N T A

Baru semalam aku bermimpi bertemu kamu
Peliknya rasa lantas kutersedar
Aku tak percaya

Dido - Life For Rent

"Life For Rent"

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Amuk - Putra Bonda

Amuk - Putra Bonda

Kencana dengan kuda kencana
Berangkat aku akan berangkat
Laungan rindu dah lama mendayu
Mengajak aku pulang keasal

Bergegar bumi tanah warisan ibunda
Menanti budi tiba dengan cinta
Tahan diuji tubuhnya berlangir darah
Anak pertiwi kenal asal jadinya

Di sana asal aku disana
Sejarah itu kata sejarah
Bukan dedalu atau umang-umang
Serunya aku sahut serunya

Akar sejengkal biar segunung semaian
Dahun sehelai sedahan rimbunnya
Merendah diri bukanlah berjiwa hamba
Tegak berdiri bukanlah riak sebabnya

Dengar ibunda
Aku akan kembali
Taman kedamaian
Hanyalah di tanahmu

Ku masih berwajah dulu
Ku masih putra agungmu
Dengarlah
Bondaku...

Dengarlah ibunda
Aku akan kembali
Membangkitkan cinta
Kepadamu

Dido - Don't Believe In Love

I wanna go to bed with arms around me but wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping 'til you go home
I can't look at you this morning, I should probably have a sign
That says leave right now or quicker, you've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love nothin' will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothin' is safe for me
When I don't believe in love you're too close to me

That's why you have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder, your arm warm around my side
But it's different now, it's morning and I can't face your smile
The second that I feel your safe hands reachin' out for mine
I slip away and out of sight, you've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love nothin' is good for me
If I don't believe in love nothin' will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothin' is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me and nothin' is real for me


If I don't believe in love nothin' is good for me
If I don't believe in love nothin' will last for me
When I don't believe in love nothin' is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me and nothin' is real for me

If I don't believe in love why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love nothin' is real for me
If I don't believe in love you're getting' too close to me
That's why you have to leave, that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love, if I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love nothin' is left for me
If I don't believe in love you're too good for me

LotD : If You Still Believe

Vocals : Elsa Raven
Game : Legend of the Dragoon

I had a dream that I could fly
I can feel each moment as time goes by
We'd never be too far away,
You would always be here, I heard you say

I never thought
Thought that it would be our last goodbye
(our last goodbye.)
I still can dream
That one day love will fall out from the sky

Do you still remember all the time that has gone by?
(do you believe?)
Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above
I'll be waiting for you, if you still believe in love
(do you still believe?)

Find a way to bring back yesterday
Find a way to love
I hope we stay
When tomorrow becomes today
Love will find a way

I'll be waiting for you, in my heart you are the one
If I cannot find you, I will look up to the sun
(do you believe, do you believe?)
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above
I'll be waiting for you, if you still believe in love

Do you believe?
Do you believe?

Do you still remember all the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above
(do you believe?)
I'll be waiting for you, if you still believe in love

Do you believe?

You Can Eat an Elephant!

You can eat an elephant.

Oh,yes you can it's true.

They may be huge but not to worry,

they aren't too big for you.



"Just how can I eat such a thing

that's so immense in size?"

"Just look at it in pieces

and make them all bite size."



You see to look from head to tail

can be a daunting task.

Many would just give up now

and let the elephant pass.



Look at it as if you can

eat it piece by piece,

It may take you a while,

but your goal you will reach.



So, next time you have a task

that is difficult to do,

Remember, you can eat an elephant

so take a piece and chew!

Spider - Bila Nak Saksi

Spider - Bila Nak Saksi Lirik :-
Wajah mu kerap ku mimpi
Wajah mu sering ku puja
Buatku terasa sepi
Kala ku bukakan mata


Kau masih belum pun ku punya
Rinduku masih kau tak peka

Cintamu kerap ku mimpi
Cintamu sering ku damba
Buatku terasa sedih
kala ku bukakan mata

Kau masih belum pun ku dakap
Rinduku masih kau tak singkap

Bila nak saksi
Kau datang terkulai
Bila nak saksi
Kau datang membelai
Bila nak saksi
Cintaku sampai

Dirimu kerap ku mimpi
Dirimu sering ku khayal
Aku angan-angankan
Kau dapat bersama

Nyatakan cinta yang terpendam
Membina istana tersergam

Bila nak saksi
Kau datang terkulai
Bila nak saksi
Kau datang membelai
Bila nak saksi
Cintaku sampai
Bila nak saksi
Cintamu kugapai

Rela Mati Demi Cinta

aku telah menulis tentang hal ini di dalam buku yang aku sedang baca beberapa minggu lepas.

'nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose'
-Benjamin Disraeli

Awaken the Giant Within, page 36.

lets begin (mari mulakan):

'rela mati kerana cinta'....

is a statement of stupid dumbsh!t people who deserve to die for nothing.

whose love is it anyway, that he is ready to die for?
milik siapakah cinta itu, yang dia rela mati kerananya?

it is his love! his fuc%ing stupid love.
tentulah cinta miliknya sendiri. cinta yang bodoh itu.

and if he dies, what is the meaning of love?
dan andainya makhluk bangang tu mampus, apakah maknanya cinta?

and me? I'd rather die for the dreams of my friends, or the wishes of my parent.
or the stability of my country, if it is significant. Definitely not for love!
(at least they benefit something from my death)

lets think for a moment.
mari berfikir sebentar.

you love a girl. then you die for her (for some reason or circumstances-
you may already watched many on TV or read it in novel/comic etc).
OK, now you are dead. fuc%ing DEAD.
and she is alive, and greatly affected by your [holy] sacrifice.
she now realizes how much you loved her.
and she now loves you ever more.
she cannot let go the thoughts of you.
her fate is chained by your [dead] love.
now it is very hard for her to move on.

Now, you are Dead, and she is Fuc%ed up.

or, if she doesn't give a shit about your sacrifice, then there is nothing more to say.

so much for 'mati demi cinta'.
fuc%ing dumbazz
