Where are the fucking prawn crackers???

Yes, i just finished the prawn crackers :( and the last one tried to escape :o ! Didn't get very far, it went up my sleeve :S

On a completely unrelated note (depending on how you look at it) I got home last night and discovered a bruise on my knee. No, i was not attacked by prawns. Why is it terribly important then, you ask? Well, i'd been to a concert, and to be injured at a concert is an honour i've never before received. Now i have :] So, who's happy? :D me

Yes, Amanda Palmer is effing awesome, just to clarify.

*listens to Kaledrina*

Enough of my semi-coherent ramblings! I'll just leave you with another song, big band, or quite possibly motown(ish). It doesn't feel finished, but we'll see how it goes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember when
You were Oh
So much younger and

Life, as the cliche` goes,
Was Oh
So much simpler and

You found adventure in
The smallest things
Like, a rainbow for a slide

Oh, the joy it'd bring
In the bath to see
A bubble angel floating by.

How I wish that thing
Could stay the same
Forever (and a day)

We would have joy
And no more bitterness
No cynicism for today.

Remember when a
Cardboard box was the biggest
Castle on the block

How that flimsy structure would
Protect you from the
Horrors just outside.

Well, I can tell ya,
I have lived in a
Shoe box/cell/Apartment

It ain't so glamorous
As when we were
Pretending

And how I wish these walls
Would keep all of those
Dragons at bay.

These walls aren't fireproof
And sadly that's
How they'll stay.

There ain't no quick reprieve
It's plain to see
This brave new world won't stay.

Oh and golly gee, thank goodness
I'd not like that
To be

So thank you for those cardboard houses
Thank you for those long whole hours
Thank you for letting me live free.

This doesn't have a beginning

...
(You're [plural])
Invading all my happy days
With false promises
(piano)

There's a fire breathing
Oh so coldly
In the depths
Of my conscious self

A fire rivaling
The caustic burn
Of your words on my
Throat

It doesn't even help
To bite them back
Swallow the
Vitriol

That bile tastes
So foul
I feel my stomach
Lining breaking

Words assaulting from in front and
Words assaulting from behind
Compound my stomach ache
As i fight it one more time

The temptation to
Sink lower
Overpowers on occasion
But thank Heaven you don't see that

No, you only see
The little girl
The one you joked
The one you bullied

I HAVE GROWN
But she's still there
Hiding on the
Outside

My protective shield
The old clam shell
But you eat shellfish
Don't you?

For years and years
My shell grew larger
Stronger
Til the junction was unclear

Who was I?
And who was she?
The words still stung
So wt?

Now the brave ol' rock
Of yesteryear's
Been washed away
Eroded down to sand

I've cast away my
Shield
And fight with armour
Dusty from disuse

It's braver to stand
Up and be
Just be, that's right
I'll just be me

So what if you can
See my heart?
My true intentions,
Here at last!

The fire's not so cold today
It's not so hard to
Fight that
Caustic burn

I'd rather not spit in
Your face
Be warned I'll strip you down
Shun you embrace

Your cold dead fingers
On my neck
They keep me breathing
Double Deck

I'll keep on playing
Silly games
With cards
It's not so hard

Just let the water flow around
Or wash me clean
From all those times
I drowned

I don't need saving
Anymore
My friends and I
We saved ourselves

We walk away from
All your lies
And all your cheats and all
Your cries

Save yourselves
It's not our job
We've seen the light
You see the fog

So keep on staring
Keep on staring
As we walk away form
You

This is the last time
That your arrows
Will find their
Way on through...
