The one and only …

You’re the one

Some say you’re crazy
Say that you’re no good
Say your family’s cursed with bad blood
I think you’re cute and misunderstood
And I wouldn’t change you if I could

Let’em talk you down
Call you names
My mind’s made up
It ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart
Happy and free
You’re the one you’re the one
You’re the one for me

Some say you’re bitter
Think you’re mean
Uncouth untamed and unrestrained
I think you’re sensitive and sweet
Stay as you are don’t change a thing

Let’em talk you down
Call you names
My mind’s made up
It ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart
Happy and free
You’re the one you’re the one
You’re the one for me

Some say you’re bawdy
Wicked and wild
A restless useless juvenile
I think you’re funny and I like your smile
Want to be with you want you to stay awhile

Let’em talk you down
Call you names
My mind’s made up
It ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart
Happy and free
You’re the one you’re the one
You’re the one for me

A no ‘count mixed up
Amount to nothing
A day away from a bum on the street
Some low class kind of royalty
That’s what they say about you
When they’re talking to me

Some say you’re bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
I know what you love and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me

Let’em talk you down
Call you names
My mind’s made up
It ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart
Happy and free
You’re the one you’re the one
You’re the one for me

 

 

Change

If you knew that you would die today,
Saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you’re down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

If you knew that you would be alone,
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings up pain that can’t be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

Are you so upright you can’t be bent?
If it comes to blows are you so sure you won’t be crawling?
If not for the good, why risk falling?
Why risk falling?

If everything you think you know,
Makes your life unbearable,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you’d broken every rule and vow,
And hard times come to bring you down,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you saw the face of God and love
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?

 

 

Fast Car

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man’s got a problem
He live with the bottle that’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working
I say his body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that’s what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Slumdog millionaire

“Buey ce misto e filmul! A luat 8 Oscaruri! E despre un indian si cum ajunge el milionar! Foarte tare! L-ai vazut? Cum nu!!!”

 

Ok, zic. Hai sa vedem ce tot spun colegii astia ai mei. Ma sucesc, ma invartesc si fac rost de film. Dupa care zace cateva saptamani in calculator fara sa deschid macar fisierul. Reusesc sa ma “impiedic” de el intr-un final si sa-l vad.

Hmmmm … Daca n-ai altcea mai bun de facut si vrei sa pierzi 2 ore, e un film ok. Dar … ce vi s-a parut asa impresionant? Exceptie facand scena in care i se scot ochii unui copil ca sa fie trimis la cersit, nimic. Dar asta se intampla peste tot, nu doar in India. Credeti cumva ca tiganii nostri nu fac la fel? Faceti analogia, va rog!

NU e un film despre bani. E un film despre soarta. Despre credinta nestramutata in sufletul pereche. E un film despre dragoste. E un film despre credinta ca “in fiecare din noi exista ceva deosebit si ca niciodata nu e prea tarziu sa iasa la suprafata”.

Ce e cu adevarat impresionant in film si care ar trebui sa ne ridice si noua mari semne de intrebare e gradul de analfabetism care exista in India. Analfabetism catre care ne indreptam si noi cu pasi repezi. Cum frate sa nu stii care sunt cei 3 muschetari?!!! (care, de fapt, erau 4 :D ) E unul din romanele de capatai ale copilariei a zeci de generatii. Adaugati Dupa 20 de ani, Rocambole, Cuore, inima de copil, Regina Margot, Tarzan, Mowgli, Cartea Junglei, 20000 de leghe sub mari, Amintiri din copilarie si cate si mai cate. Doamne, nici nu mi le mai amintesc pe toate. Uitam pana si ca trebuia sa mai dorm sau sa mai mananc atunci cand citeam. Imi tineam ochii deschisi cu degetele sa mai citesc o propozitie, o fraza, sa mai dau o pagina.

Citeam in nestire. E singurul lucru pentru care mi-as dori sa fiu din nou copil.

 

Revenind la film: din punctul meu de vedere, e pierdere de timp.

 

Altceva …

O alta Romanie

Baleind pe net, am gasit cateva clipuri pentru urmatoarea campanie electorala, despre o alta … Romanie, asa cum am vrea noi sa fie. Sunt facute de cei de la Happy Fish si mi se par extrem de bine realizate. O mostra un pic mai jos:

 

Totul via nasti’s blog.
