Song Lyric Sunday : Say goodnight and Go!

Song Lyric Sunday

Fresh from an idea from HELEN ESPINOSA’S blog. Here is the pingback

My song this week , my second week, is an old favourite of mine from Imogen Heap,” Say goodnight and go. ‘

On the face of it this is a very happy little song but on closer listening to the lyrics you discover that it is a song

about a stalker, who is infatuated with a lad she knows….. Her love is totally unrequited,she wants more than he has

to offer ! I don’t know why I just love the song !

IMOGEN HEAP LYRICS

“Goodnight And Go”

Say goodnight and go.
Woah woah. Woah woah

Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
And then I’m left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time

Why d’ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It’s bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home, you’ve got your headphones on and you’re dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think you’re alone…

Why d’ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It’s bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

One of these days, you’ll miss your train and come stay with me
We’ll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You’ll sleep here, I’ll sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience
we’d be good, we’d be great together.

[Sigh]
Go!

Say goodnight and go,
why’s it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go

If we were having Coffee : Gardens, News, families

Hello everyone welcome to the garden we have a marquee and heaters, all the garden furniture has been washed and I have put out cushions for your comfort.

Well what do you think shall we chance it . Now as always we have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.

If we were having Coffee: I would ask you what has been going on in your world this week, has anything deeply affected you, have you need a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on or just needed someone to make you laugh! If yes feel free to talk it out here with us. We will all help if we can.

Lets join everyone here and all the other “IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEES”

Join in !

If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster

If we were having coffee: I would tell you just how much I would like to pretend that I have all the time in world this week but sadly my time is very clipped today. We have the mother in law over most Sundays…. for some reason neither of the husbands two siblings seem to see fit to have her over, so most Sundays, outings and Holidays ( as our American friends say, to me Christmas,Easter and bank holidays fall to us. ) Now we don’t mind but it does get a little stressful when there are other things on the cards that need to be organized!….. Enough I am not moaning just stating facts!

If we were having coffee: I would tell you it has been a strange week as I have been under the weather and spent two days in bed with stomach ache. So it has not been a normal week as I was unable to get out and do most of the usual things that make my week normal. I like normal it makes me feel safe anything else tends to upset my equilibrium!

Now I have found a very interesting new blog, on first sight it appears to be a cookery blog but as the posts started coming to my email I discovered that it is also about a very brave and courageous mother of nine children’s account of her life as a foreigner living and married to a man in Saudi, she has amazed and inspired me, also I love her recipes. Do pop over and check out at Lynz real cooking. here is one of her triumphs …go on let’s all have a piece!

If we were having coffee : I would ask what are the big things that affected you in the news this week. As I said I have been out of it most of the week but what has seeped through to me is that the Number of Muslim women who are taking off for Syria to join isis from this country,the UK , is growing . Well okay if these women feel they need to dessert the life they have grown up with over here and want to give up every last vestige of freedom then fine they make their own beds let them lie in them. But they are taking children with them, some very young children too. Apparently these women are doing this mad exodus without their husbands or families knowing ?

It started with young men being radicalized by youtube and social media, then it was young girls and now women with children are up and fleeing into what I can only see as the unknown. Well if young men , girls and women want to leave here and head out to join isis so be it. Now to my mind their actions do not come without consequences if they go they can never return. Let us face it how could they ever be trusted not to turn against us? That said it is not fair of them to take their children with them, what mother can willing take their children into a war zone, a place where women are treated a cheap chattels and worth less than cattle. It pains me to say this but it is wrong . Read here

Right If we were having coffee : Can I get you a top up or perhaps you would like something stronger.

Now the moment you all adore….. Garden time!!

Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Rage

LindaGHill said : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “four-letter word.” Use any four-letter word as your theme. Enjoy!

Here is the pingback

Enjoy I can’t enjoy, I am so burnt up with rage . I am sick of being told what to eat , drink , especially how much wine I can drink! What to wear just because I do not want to dress like everyone else does, I have my own tastes and if they are different so what…eh eh!! I like the way I dress. I have never told anyone else what to wear!

I feel the rage growing inside me when I am told what I can watch on TV ….how the hell old am I. I get indigestion holding down rage when I am told I spend too much time on the computer……so bloody what ! I am not interested in what’s on TV so why not write and escape into a world I like, no love plug myself into Imogen Heap or Sia…. why not , why not?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rage , rage scream at the moon shake my fist in rage

Shout stamp my feet lash out, rattle the bars of my cage.

Damn Blast F##k I am a person what use to live to an old age

If I am told what to do, have no fun , hardly a life a plain page!

I want to drink what I want,when I want , not smother rage

Dance in the rain without causing a raised eyebrow

Wear an unusual dress and not be told you look fool now

I want to me and make my own mistakes, not burn with rage!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I said at the start of the stream of consciousness that I couldn’t enjoy writing this post because I am burning up with RAGE , well that is true tonight but I did enjoy letting off steam!

Men F###ing Men….. apologies and all men on wordpress exempted …… unless of course any of you start telling me what I can and cannot write!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

3. There will be a prompt every week. Linda will post the prompt on her blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, Linda will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” or “Begin with the word ‘The’.”

4. Ping back! It’s important, so that Linda and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of Linda’s post into yours. Your link will show up in Linda’s comments, for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top.

5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on Linda’s post.

6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!

7. Have fun!

All Lost: Nonet

In the blink of an eye all was lost

All was betrayed and at what cost.

Biting her lip not to show

How quick her tears could flow

Turning to hide her

Face, none should know

She did care.

Her tears

Flow…………..

The Return

The lonely shadows fall once more

Still here, I listen to the waves fall upon the shore.

I want to leave and walk under the moon

In my heart I know my lover will be returning soon.

Cobwebs dance like silver chain mail in candle light

I look out through the gaping holes into the night.

Is he coming is he near, be still heart I cannot hear

Above the moaning wind , if his steps draw near.

How long I have I been sitting here

Awaiting the return of you,my dear

Too long for such a maid as I, I fear

I’ve seen too much of history pass through here.

The sun now climbs above this hill

Where castle and my spirit await you still

I can wait no longer the need for you grows stronger

I step outside into the growing light, nought is the same as I look yonder.

The sea is gone though I still here it’s song

This does not feel right there is something wrong.

I feel weak here in the sun, my heart now still I begin to fade.

Has my wait been in vain. Then I spy you standing in the glade.

How long I have I been sitting here

Awaiting the return of you,my dear

Too long for such a maid as I, I fear

I’ve seen too much of history pass through here.

The story came from my head by an idea born by reading Jean’s post Socialbridge Phunning Light.

All photos photos except the top one are from Jean’s post too! Thank you Jean for me to let my mind meander across your post!
