Potatoes in my basket and all things lively.

I don't know what I'm doing
And I think I never do
But the things that keep me going
Seem to have a lot to do with you
And if I see no reason, then I often see a rhyme
That's what keeps me singing
Till the end of time

I say!

There are potatoes in my basket and I don't know how they got there
And though I never weighed them I could say they're getting heavier
If you think this has no meaning that's a lot of hot air
See, these people think I'm crazy but, en contraire
I guess I really like you
And that seems quite fair

I tried to study a lot and remember what I read
But it didn't really work out
And that's when people said
Well
No one really said anything, can I pretend?
I didn't really tell them so
I presume that it's my bad.

Hey!

There are potatoes in my basket and I don't know how they got there
And though I never counted them I think that we're one short
To be honest I don't know
Why I have a basket in the first place
All that the circumstances do say
Is that life convolutes a lot

One day you're an aeroplane
The other you are scrap
You may be worthy of the matador
Or just the Spanish snack
It boils down to the question that must surely be asked
Do prefer being skewered or having swords stuck in your ass?

Oi!

There are potatoes in my basket and I don't know how they got there
But some of these cranky tubers would sure like to
I'm as clueless as you are
When you wonder if you're at par
With everybody in the world and if there's anything that sets you apart?

Can you take a few decades out of your life to shoot to instant fame?
Can you sacrifice some of your brawn to gain a little brain?
Is it really true that we could be all the same?
Is it true that we are all the same
If you looked from far enough away?
We're just all same

There are potatoes in my basket and I can't tell them apart
Unless I look a little closer
And make a fresh start
At them
Again

It's so easy to forget it all and to watch you smile

Everything you do to me

Makes it worth the while
And this while will last forever
And I do not mind
Let me take you somewhere, touched not by time
And let's see what we find
In each other

Here I am singing a song
That changes its tune far too often
But there are lots of words that rhyme,
And it's all I have to offer
And it goes on for too long

Aye,

I don't how I got a basket-in-the-first-place
And I know that I make no sense
These are strange circumstances
But there are potatoes in my basket
And I don't know how they got there.

I wrote this at intervals of cheese popcorn, noodles, soan papdi and the movie Snatch. Which would answer your question: "What the fuck?"

Half

It's quite cold today
The clouds just won't let go of the sun
Better than yesterday
I felt my hand would go numb
Why can't these days become
Any better
Oh they just can't get better
They just can't get better
No

Wanted to walk near the flowers today
But there's an angry hive loose in the air
A bear stole some honey
A cat was sitting right there
And it had to run
Why can't these days become
Any better
Oh they just can't get any better
They just can't get any better
'Cause I, just remembered you..

Hidden in these words is a smile
And it's wide, and it's mine and it's mine
Pronounced everytime, I say I love you
Properly true,
Yes I love you..
Sweet love of mine, yes I love you..
Inside, a troupe is playin hard,
Xylophones and harmonica

Pity you'll never get to hear it
Rhythm of me heart might let you feel it
It's such a weird sensation
Nested deep in oconversations
Crying out loud to be heard
Ends up manifesting itself in words
Seldom does it betray it's meaning
Shows just a feeling, a hint of feeling..

Wanted to buy you some chocolates today
And a heart shaped sweet bun
And wrap it all up with a bouquet
But the streets caught fire 
And my plans were done
Oh, why oh why, can't these days become 
Any better
Oh I know they just can't get any better
I know they just can't get any better

'Cause I, just remembered you...

My Day

No matter what I've got
Or what I've let go
No matter what I've given
There's something more you should know

No matter where you are
Or where you will be
I know where we've been
And the places we've to see

Many roads to cross ahead and
Many rivers to swim
I'd do it all holding your hand
And fly with the wind

Sometimes I feel I've had it all
And there's more to come
Maybe I've gone through it all
And have nowhere left to run

I ain't asking for too much more
It's well within my right
I just want some sunshine through my window
Is it so hard to come by?
I just want some sunshine through my window
And I find it in your smile
And I find it in your smile

No matter how dark the days could be
Or how quiet the night
No matter if I have nothing left
To live the same life

No matter which way the earth would spin
Or how far away I'd find my home
If I lose all my words to sing
Lose faith in the love above

If I see through all of time
And if I stand to lose
If I give up all my life
With nothing to choose
I know I do it all because
I've made up my mind
There may be many treasures but
You're the only gem I'd ever try to find

And I just want some
Sunshine through my window
Is it so hard to come by?
I just want some sunshine through my window
And I find it in your smile
I just want some sunshine through my window
And I find it in your smile

I'd die for you
I live for you
I do everything I do for you
Hold you in my arms and tell you the truth
And you've always known how much I love you
I do everthing that I do
I do for you

And I just want some
Sunshine through my window
Is it so hard to come by?
I just want some sunshine through my window
And I find it in your smile
And I find it in your smile
And I find it in your smile

You make my day. 

Guess

There are many things to sing about
And then there are some
That you might want to lend tune to
But you don't want them sung
There are many things to talk about
And the things you don't want to tell
You really want to be asked for those
Because you've got to say it to them

It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you ain't gettin it right anytime 

Hey hey is it clear as day
Or maybe a stormy afternoon
When you have to your coat to your sides
From the moment the wind blew

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

He said he wanted to
She asked if he really wanted to
He said he really wanted to
But he really didn't

She asked if he really wanted to
For she couldn't believe he really wanted to
He said said that he really wanted
Because he thought she wanted him to say how much he did

It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you're gettin it wrong all the time

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

He didn't do his homework
And she signed him a note
She'd never really call on him again
But his poor heart broke
And he was better than ever
Every other day
And she knew and she knew
She'd had her way
And how he loved her for it 
He could still play

And sometimes everything we want
We want it done some other way
To show that it's not really what we said
Give me a moment with my head

Don't do what they ask you to
Cuz they don't have a clue
Cuz you know that they don't know what they want
You don't know what they want
Nobody knows what we want
But we say things all the same

Hey hey hey
I don't really like what you're doing
But then who am I foolin
Maybe this is really what I wanted
No way

So I sing
Night and day
It isn't that easy to read a mind
It's difficult stayin alive
If you're guessing all the time
If you ain't gettin it right anytime

It's as clear
As a stormy gale
As a meteor shower in spring
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

So let's just say
We don't know Nothin
We just don't know Anything
I really don't know what you mean
But I'm with you all the same
Because even if I could pretend
That I can use my head

I'd just be wrong again
I'd just be wrong again 
It's okay
We'l go our way
And exercise our brains

Muddled minds create  muddled songs

For the record almost the entire song, as it is before you, came to me in a dream. Neat:)

Along

Maybe all that your eyes can see
Aren't enough to make you believe
But you're the only reason to be.. 

Maybe the clouds that form
Will rain down worse than our hardest storm
Doesn't mean we can't go walking like before

Close your eyes, what do you see
Do you see me, am i your dream
Or do you feel like flying away..

Turn around, the streets will open wide
Turn around, the clocks will chime 
Turn around and no one will believe 
It's you, Turn around, turn around...
Turn around but you won't see me...

Maybe your smile did fade
Like the moon does through days
It disappears,
But doesn't it forever come back full..?

Is it better off to be the sun
To always be one, to be wholesome,
But only looked upon when it's going away?

What's it like to be a far off star
To twinke and be wished upon
But never around to see the light of day...

Hey, Turn around, the day will end
Turn around, your road will begin
Before you walk, don't you turn around
You won't see me

Don't be my moon, not my shooting my star
Don't twinkle like that from afar
Not my sun, but give me sunshine
It'd be a cure to spread your smile

Wake up every mornin to you
Sing every song for you
Love every minute of the hour of the day
With you
Hey if you walk, you'd better whistling a tune..

But don't turn around, there's nothing here
You won't find me to turn around to
Turn around and around again..
Could I be anywhere but beside you...

Baa Baa

Hey hey, princess..
Were you sent from above?
'Yes boy, yes boy, and I've brought you all my love..
Some for my family and some for my work,
When it comes to you baby, it's all one..'



A european doctor, operating in a remote african village gets pulled up by the tribal chief when one of the women gives birth to a fair skinned child.
'No no,' the doctor tries to explain, 'it's just an albino, it's not a very rare occurence'
And then pointing to a flock of sheep he added, 'just like that black sheep over there, see? It was born that colour amongst all these other white sheep, it's just a...' but the  chief silenced him quickly and told him in a hushed voice;
'Listen doc, I'll forget i saw the baby if you don't tell anybody about that sheep'

Oh just smile will you :)?

When an angel sings

These raindrops are fallin', they're calling me outside
The wind's blowin', I'm movin without trying
I'm being led away, there's a sound that cuts through
The plodding rain and the winds of the monsoon

I've heard it's wonderful to sit by the rain
To close your eyes and listen
To a hundred thousand million drops
One by one, all together as they fall
I've heard it all, I've heard it all
And once more..

I've heard it's wonderful to walk against the breeze
For the cold warmth that it let's you feel
To be walk on and walk on
And not want to stop
I've heard it all, I've heard it all
And once more..

But I'm still being led away
To somewhere, somewhere
I'm following the music of the world..
But i've heard it all, I've heard it all
Before..

So where am i going
And why am i leaving this behind
Could it be, that I'm
Left with something new to find
Could it be that i've never heard anything quite so...
..Before?

Oh i know i'm stopping
But no one's telling it from my feet
Still walking,
But i know this is where i meant to reach
'Cause it's making me feel complete..

Yes I know, now i know,
I've heard it all before,
And i'll hear it once more,
Whatever the time, wherever i go,
It's so beautiful..

Yes, i've heard it all before,
I know that it's your voice
These are the sounds i recognise
And once more..

When you read, when you speak
When you sing, when you breathe
I'm listening
When you walk, when you run
When you dance, when you twirl
Do you know you're my world

Do you sing for me when i sing for you..
Do you dance because i have hands around you
Do you move just because I'm moving closer...
I know you stay because this is the way it'll be forever..

If I walk once more, I'll carry you through the rain
Because there's too much I haven't heard..
When I leave your lips to part again...
I'm listening to every word..
I've heard it's wonderful to sit by the rain
To close your eyes and listen..
I'll close my eyes..to see you
They only open for the same..

When an angel sings
Everybody's trying to listen
They hear it all the same
They're all looking for her but she's missin
When my angel sings
The song cuts through
And when she sings to me that the song's for me
I'll be missing too..

An angel's voice..I hear it everyday..
