My Playlist for the Past Week

The Script – Break Even

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
Cause I got time while she got freedom
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man who's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces...

They say that things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces...

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took the suitcase and none of the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what remains
Cause you left me with no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
Cause I got time while she got freedom
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces...


La Roux – BulletProof

Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let you in again,
the message I've tried to send,
My information's just not going in.

Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away from something more
I'm not turned off to love until it's cheap

Been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around
and tell me now I'm much too proud
and walk away from something when it's dead

Do do do you dirty words come out to play
when you are heard?
There's certain things that should be left unsaid.

Tick tick tick tick on the watch
and life's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out

I won't let you turn around
and tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt

This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof

This time.
I'll be.
Bulletproof.

This time.
I'll be.
Bulletproof.

This time baby I'll be bulletproof
This time baby I'll be bulletproof

Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart

Now listen to me baby
Before I love and leave you -
They call me heart-breaker.
I don't wanna deceive you.

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I might tear you apart
Told you from the start
Baby from the start

I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart

There's no point trying to hide it
No point trying to evade it
I know I got a problem
by doing this behavin'

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I might tear you apart
Told you from the start
Baby from the start

I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart

And I know Karma's going to get me back
for being so cold
Like a big bad wolf, I'm born to be bad
bad to the bone
If you fall for me
I'm only gonna tear you apart
Told you from the start

I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your
break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your

Fiona Apple – Sleep To Dream

I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide, and I can't abide

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore
You don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, ''cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
And don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
And you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise

Fiona Apple – Paper Bag

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,' he said
'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything'
But he didn't get it I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Fiona Apple – Shadow Boxer

Once my lover, now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend

Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees

Oh, it's evil babe
The way you let your grace enrapture me
When well you know I'd be insane
To ever let that dirty game recapture me

You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging around 'cause
I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Oh, your gaze is dangerous
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me

So darlin' I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was onto every play
I just wanted you

Oh it's so evil, my love
The way you've no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love
To save the pain of once my flame and twice my burn

So I'm a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging around at nothin
I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Yeah I'm a shadowboxer baby,
I wanna be ready for what you do
And I been swinging around me 'cause
I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Stomping Grounds by Pearl Denzy

Stomping Grounds by Pearl Denzy

Boom Boom Shhhhh
Went the sound of the train
that led me to the terrain
of my old stomping grounds

I've been away for far too long
trying to be someplace I don't belong
attempting to fight the urge within me
to go to where I'm me.

You see,
my father is 57 years old
and has live on this ground
in which my boots now stomp
his entire life
and all I wanted when I grew up was to be nothing like him
and to get the hell out of this place

All because I thought that my world would end being
One in 1200
Jefferson County
Allen's Daughter

Going to the same church
seeing the same people
having the same conversation
week after week after week

I thought I'll be better than that
Because you see I thought moving
made me stronger
made me smarter
made me sadder

See this country girl
tried that old city life

thought that my true stomping grounds
were hard sidewalks
taxi cab confessions
and temp work

I though this city has everything
well everything but my heart

All because I didn't want to be
One in 1200
Jefferson County
Allen's Daughter

Boom Boom Shh
went the sounds of the train
that led to someone else's stomping grounds

And I'm about to pick up my suitcase
when I look to the front of the station
and see my father
standing there with a sign that says
Welcome Home, Baby Girl

And I know that my boots have hit the right place

I love the Fountain

I Love the Fountain by Abigail Scott

I love the fountain because
it is so much fun

I love the fountain because it's the one place
where mom can't say
Don't get your shoes dirty, abigail

I love the fountain, even the way it sounds.

I love the fountain because
when you open your mouth
you are bound to catch at least one drop
or maybe a whole bunch of drops

I love the fountains because
everyone gets wet when they play in the fountain

even mom and dad

It's rain with sun.

I love the fountain!

And it's my favorite place because
mom and dad get in the fountain and yell and shout

because they think I'm going to drown

but I'm not.

It's just a fountain.

Rosie the Riveter by Sylvia Leigh

That's all aprt of the red, white, and blue
Working for victory.
Rosie the Riveter is my name,
kicking ass is my game.

Real name's Carol. That Rosie the Riveter shit
was just for them posters.

And, yes, before you starts asking
I know I how to cook
and I know how to clean
and no, I don't intend on doing either.

See I got this boyfriend...
his name's Chuck
and Chuck is a Marine
which means he knows how to do two things -
Fuck and Fight,
and boy can he
fight.

I love Chuck
Really, I do,
you know, we's gonna get married
soon as Chuck comes back from that war

But until that day comes

I'm filling in for good old Chuck.
See what I don't tell Chuck is
I've been working overtime on this here rivet machine...

See that handy dandy gun over there?
Without that gun
how do you think Chuck would fight them bad guys?

Ahmadiniejad speaks plainly to Obama

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Barack Obama

President-elect of the United States of America

I congratulate you on having gained the majority of the votes of those who took part in the election. As you know, the chances that God gives to his subjects pass swiftly. They can be used for the perfection of humanity and to the benefit of nations or, God forbid, to the detriment of nations.

I hope you will choose to honor the real interests of people and justice and equity over the insatiable appetites of the selfish minority. Use this chance to serve to the extent you can. And leave a good name behind for yourself.

People expect an immediate and clear response to the pressure for fundamental change in the American government's policies, both foreign and domestic. This is the desire of all the world's nations and of the American nation as well, and it should be the objective and basis of all your future government's programs and actions.

On the one hand, the American nation, which has spiritual inclinations, expects your government to focus its energy and will on serving the people; dealing with the current economic crisis; restoring the country's standing, morale and hope; eradicating poverty and discrimination; and renewing respect for individuals, their safety and their rights. It also expects policies that will strengthen the foundations of the family -- part of the teachings of the holy prophets, who are also revered in America.

On the other hand, the nations of the world expect an end to policies based on warmongering, invasion, bullying, trickery, the humiliation of other countries by the imposition of biased and unfair requirements, and a diplomatic approach that has bred hatred for America's leaders and undermined respect for its people. They want to see actions based on justice, respect for the rights of human beings and nations, friendship and non-intervention in the affairs of others. They want the American government to keep its interventions within its own country's borders.

In the sensitive Middle East region, in particular, the expectation is that the unjust actions of the past 60 years will give way to a policy encouraging full rights for all nations, especially the oppressed nations of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The great civilization-building and justice-seeking nation of Iran would welcome major, fair and real changes, in policies and actions, especially in this region.

If steps are taken in the path of righteousness, toward the goal of carrying out the teachings of the holy prophets, it is hoped that almighty God will help and that the enormous damage done in the past will be somewhat diminished.

I ask the high God to grant all of humanity and all nations health and happiness, honor and prosperity, and to grant rulers and officials the ability to learn from the past and to use every chance to serve, to spread love and kindness, to eradicate oppression, to do justice and to follow the holy guidelines.

Mahmoud Ahmadiniejad
