Feel unready for my love

Lyrics from These Streets by Paula Nutini

Where'd the days go?
When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone
Life is good, and the sun is shiningEverybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
Trying to pretend that they've got some space
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

I sit here every day looking at the sky
Ever wondering why I dream my dreams away
And I'm living for today in my mind's eye
Things are clearer than before
Showing me the way, asking me to stay
I'll never close the door to all these things and more
In my mind's eye
Everybody I know says I'm changing
Laughing behind their backs, I think they're strange
People running everywhere, running through my life
I couldn't give a care because they'll never see
All that I can see with my mind's eye

Like a wheel within a wheel

Like a snowball down a mountain

Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Some more shots from my neighbourhood prowling


















Lyrics from "Put The Sun Back" by The Coral

Down the cinder path
And through the hedge
Climbing up to the window ledge
Throwing lockets to make a scene
I can’t explain, you know what I mean

I caught you crying
Trying to hide your tears away
But your crippled smile
Will always give the game away
Are we falling apart ?
Are we just walking in the park ?

We’ve got to put
The sun back in our hearts

Lyrics from "Simple Twist Of Fate" by Bob Dylan

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walkin' by the arcade.
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere.
He told himself he didn't care,pushed the window open wide,
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
