Enjoy!

I get so caught up in my ways
sometimes I overlook the simple plains
I feel like certain times in my life
are met with certain times for pain to thrive
you’re five foot five, not a hundred pounds
I’m scared to death of every single ounce
and worst of all is when it’s calm
cause I know the sea won’t be calm for long

you bring me down

I walked right in through the rabbit’s door
and walked right into the rabbit’s hole
I made myself an open book
I made myself a sitting duck

I don’t know how I missed the signs
I must have passed by them a hundred times
you barely notice what I say
you’re busy looking round the room instead
I get so caught up in my ways

I walked right in through the rabbit’s door
and walked right into the rabbit’s hole
I made myself an open book
I made myself a sitting duck
I walk you down this rabbit trail
my feet grow heavy with every step
I stop to eat and take a nap
and now I can’t find my way back

you bring me down
so down

This week song of the week is “Creator” by Santogold from the Album Santogold.

Enjoy!

Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me, no, I say, yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion

Can’t say it’s gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Sit tight I know what you are
Mad bright but you ain’t no star
Polish up ’til you make it gleam
Your M.O, I know what you mean

Tail ridin’ and I know it’s true
While they screamin’, I love you
Down deep you know there ain’t no flow
A soul decay, was D.O.A

I know what you here for now
Words out you’re an idea whore though
Now don’t you crush on me
I’ll see you in your pipe dreams

Whether or not you know it’s true
You’re who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
Fakin’ what you wish you had

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
You should heed the warning, get a body guard

Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin’ in just like an itch
So far I got the last laugh
Still the rich rise up, still I live fast

Wouldn’t know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste

All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
On the grind ’til the gig is up
I’ma smash ‘em down
Put a muzzle on them like, “What”

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Enjoy!

But just incase you would like to hear the original here it is:

Lyrics to original song:

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can’t be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won’t catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a (you don’t care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
oh no, you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit

She said “hello mister, please to meet ya”
I wanna hold her, I wanna kiss her
She smelled of daisies, smelled of daisies
She drive me crazy, drive me crazy

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

Be my lover, my lady river
Can I take ya, take ya higher

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

Gonna hold ya, gonna kiss ya in my arms
Gonna take ya away from harm
Gonna hold ya, gonna kiss ya in my arms
Gonna take ya away from harm

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

Taking  a much needed rest  (well at least for Andy) and spending a few days with the family what else can you ask for!

Here is the remix version of this song featuring Mickey Free :

I wish you didn’t need it anymore.

I understand exactly what you use it for.

And better isn’t always doing well.

I know because I’m better now myself.

And it’s true, I need it to, but not the way that you.

I wish I didn’t love you quite as much.

The reason that we never took another touch

Is the same reason that I could never have done enough

To show that you never needed to earn my love.

And it’s true you love me too, but not the way that I do.

I wish I didn’t hold you to your word

It knotted undecidedly, all undeserved

And never discovered when to stop.

The giant made of stone came down on every touch

You see it’s true I lie to you but not as well as you do.

And it’s true I need it too, but not the way that you do.

Enjoy!)

to be a beekeeper
in the himalayas
they’d sting me in the knee
and make ‘em weak like paper
but of all the men immune
i’d collapse in pain at his gathering

nomadic wheelpusher
you make me shift and sway
nomadic wheelpusher
you are influenced by the bees
who migrate
who migrate their mama miles away
to california
out of denver

to find a beekeeper who puts up with the stinger
he’d whistle “lightly row”
and be numb in the fingers
but of all the men immune
he would stand in pain at his gathering

nomadic wheelpusher
you make me shift and swing
nomadic wheelpusher
you are influenced by the bees
who migrate
who migrate their mama miles away

On our way back from Vegas we took a small detour and decided to stop by the Hoover Dam. They’re building a new bridge! Can’t wait to go back and see it all done.

Or if you happen to like a little faster version:

What’s somebody like you, doin in a place like this?
Say, did you come alone, or did you bring all your friends?
Say, what’s your name, what you drinking
I think I know what you’re thinking
Baby what’s your sign, tell me yours I’ll tell you mine
Say, what’s somebody like you doing in a place like this?
(1, 2, 3, 4)

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

Say if we ever meet again

Do you come here much? I swear I’ve seen your face before (before, yeah)
Hope you don’t see me blush, but I can’t help but want you more, more
Baby tell me what’s your story
I ain’t shy, don’t you worry
I’m flirtin with my eyes, wanna leave with you tonight
So do you come here much, I gotta see your face some more, some more

Cuz baby

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

If we ever meet again
I’ll have so much more to say (if we ever meet again)

If we ever meet again
I won’t let you go away (said if we ever meet again)

If we ever ever meet again
I’ll have so much more to say (say if we ever meet again)

If we ever ever meet again
I won’t let you go away

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night, don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again
