Peach blossom

Oh man, feel so nice

That was a long cold night

But then the sun came out to thaw the ice

Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,

The tiger lily, the marigold

Oh look at her, she’s got something to say

and I cant wait to hear it

Won’t let her get away

Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,

The tiger lily, the marigold

Oh yeah, oh my goodness

You gonna love what’s happening in here

There ain’t nothing for me to fear

Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,

The tiger lily, the marigold

Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,

The tiger lily, the marigold

Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,

The tiger lily, the marigold

The crack of doom

And so your life's been a success

And you have pleasure in excess

Don't worry it will all end soon

The crack of doom is coming soon

And so your future's looking bright

And you've reached the giddy heights

Don't worry it will soon end

It is all shallow and pretend

The crack of doom

Is coming soon

The crack of doom

Is coming soon

And so your life

Your life has failed

You've made the progress of a snail

Don't worry you'll get your revenge

For we're all equal in the end

The small and mighty all the same

This life a shallow, facile game

Where every empire turns to dust

And every ego will be crushed

The crack of doom

Is coming soon

The crack of doom

Is coming soon

And every dream, hope and desire

Is just a flicker in the fire

And that fire it will consume

The crack of doom

Is coming soon

The crack of doom is coming soon

The crack of doom is coming soon

The crack of doom is coming soon

The crack of doom

doom

Is coming soon

The castle

It was late evening when K. arrived.

.

Illusions are more common than changes in fortune

There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.

all [the authorities] did was to guard the distant and invisible interests of distant and invisible masters

One must fight to get to the top, especially if one starts at the bottom.

I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more

The smell of the beer dazed him. ‘What have you done?’ he asked quietly. ‘We’re both lost.’ ‘No,’ said Frieda, ‘I’m the one who’s lost, but I’ve gained you.

K. was left standing in the snow, feeling disinclined to haul his foot 

out of it only to have it sink in again a little further on. The master 

tanner and his friend, happy to be rid of K. at last, made their way 

slowly back through the door of the house, which was only standing 

ajar, still keeping an eye on him. K. was left alone in the all-enveloping 

snow. ‘If I’d come here by chance and not on purpose,’ he thought, 

‘I might fall into despair at this point.’

Franz Kafka

Apple Carts

Pull the apple carts

Up from silvery hill

Higher until heaven revealed

On the out of dawn, respawn

To great authority

Singing hallelujah hallelujah

Love does reign

In the kingdom of the broken heart

The blackbird sings

And the moon it laughs

As war begins, dance

Now burn the apple carts

Burn them until a great fire begins

To glow in the sky

There beneath the stones, recharge

From great austerity

Raining down from above

Distant is love

Our distain

In the kingdom of the broken heart

A blackbird sings

And the sun it laughs

As war begins, dance

Pull the apple carts high up on the hill

Set the cores alight

A sea of glass is real

Pass the barley out to prevailing winds

Where it lands and grows

The blackbird will sin

Damon Albarn

Valentine

Knew a girl used to make me wait for hours

On the train in the rain with some flowers

Street girl used to live in the towers

Real sweet and then sour

Hard life just like Cinderella

Single mum had a kid with a fella

She was real, real like concrete

By herself walk like she own street

The other fella he was kinda like trash

The son's father but never did give her cash

I said there's things you really shouldn't have to do

Come with me and I'll look after you

My funny Valentine

My Valentine, take me away

Council flats make me blind

I try but these towers so grey

Nowhere for my children to play

My baby needs fun

My skin needs the sun

My Valentine

Knew a girl, street girl

Used to live in the towers

Real sweet and then sour

Hard life just like Cinderella

Single mum had a kid with a fella

My funny Valentine

Tricky

Come On Let's Go

You won't find it by your self

You're gonna need some help

And you won't fail with me around

Come on let's go

I will tell you if you change

And who's been saying things

It's hard to tell who is real in here

Come on let's go

You know who to turn to

Now everything's changed

Come on lets go

Stop looking for answers

In everyone's face

Come on let's go

What's the point in wasting time

On people that you'll never know

Come on let's go

When you're looking for a friend

But it's empty at the end

When everybody's disappeared

You won't be alone

If you want I'll compensate

If you over estimate

So there's nothing left to fear

You won't be alone

You know who to turn to

Now everything's changed

Come on let's go

Stop looking for answers

In everyone's face

Come on let's go

What's the point in wasting time

On people that you'll never know

Come on let's go

The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw

Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know

They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go

With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon

They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw

With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon

The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw

They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go

It can't be gone, we're still right here

It took so long, can't say we heard it all

Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell

Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever

This push and pull is the force of a wave of time

In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine

They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go

'cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw

It can't be gone, we're still right here

It took so long, can't say we saw it all

Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell

Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever

It can't be gone, we're still right here

It took so long, can't say we felt it all

Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell

Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever
