Pjesmu možete slušati OVDJE, a donosimo i riječi:

Vincent

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand what you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand what you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you, Vincent

This world was never meant

For one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

A silver thorn, a bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Silly laws

Jeste li znali da postoje mjesta gdje je zakonom zabranjeno povesti lava u kino, spavati na frižideru, pecati u pidžami, posuditi usisivač od komšije, zaboraviti ženin rođendan ili umrijeti?

Nedavno smo učili o blesavim zakonima koji su na snazi u raznim državama, a najveći broj ih je vjerovatno u SAD.

Evo nekih od njih:

• You can't take a lion to the cinema. (Baltimore)
• It's illegal to go fishing in your pyjamas. (Chicago)
• It is forbidden to sleep on top of a refrigerator. (Pennsylvania)
• It is illegal for your neighbour to borrow your vacuum cleaner. (Denver, Colorado)
• You can be arrested or fined for harassing Bigfoot. (Washington)
• It’s against the law for a woman to drive a car in Main Street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag. (Waynesboro, Virginia)
• If you are found stealing soap, you must

The Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,

Joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,

Logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,

Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man.

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned.

I know it sounds absurd,

But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,

Liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man.

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned.

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am.
