Ello people... Heres another song that is mentioned in Off Centre. Its a slow tempo-ed love song. Ever wonder how it felt like, when someone writes a song about how wonderful you are to him/her? Writing a song for someone you like... hmms.. its quite a cool thing to do eh? xD Kea enuff of craps from me, enjoy the song~
Your Song by Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Off-centre a wonderful book with educational and social values.. Good books must also comes with good music rite.. 2 musics are mentioned in this book, but books cant sing, so scroll down click on the play button and listen to the music =) 1st song, Bow Down Mister. I personally dun quite like the song =P.. Its kind of like a religious song that praises to the god, hindu god i presume.. 2nd song, End Of The Road, is a love song that describes a guy's love for the girl.. But in return, the girl left him without even saying goodbye.. Relationship is like life and life is like a rollercoaster, you cant predict how long you will be together with your other half as there will always be ups and downs. Its also like gambling, you give it all you've got to love him/her, you may or may not get the same thing in return ... Bow Down Mister by Boy George
