from Sacred Hoops

There's an old Zen story that illustrates this point. Two monks were traveling together in a heavy downpour when they came upon a beautiful woman in a silk kimono who was having trouble crossing a muddy intersection. "Come on," said the first monk to the woman, and he carried her in his arms to a dry spot. The second monk didn't say anything until much later. Then he couldn't contain himself anymore. "We monks don't go near females," he said. "Why did you do that?"

"I left the woman back there, " the first monk replied. "Are you still carrying her?"

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that you looked good as I walked away
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry but you'd never really be
More of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
That won't let me in
Always looking out

A lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're falling but holding
I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
That won't let me in
Always looking out

In my rear view
I watch you
Watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove
Or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts
Are different than mine

I see you slowly swim away
As the light is leaving town
To a place that I can’t be
But there’s no apologies

Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I want to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start

I see your perfect little eyes 
Watch the shadows of the clouds
On the surface of the ocean
Out the window of the plane
I get nervous when I fly
I’m used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh
That I can’t help but over think

What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn’t have to do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through you
You could do the same
It’s the least you could do
Because it’s a lonely little chain
If you don’t add to it

So go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I want to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start

i think i bought this around ten years back. i caught their video, the tune stuck, and i had to find the track. so i went round clementi looking in cd shops and lo behold one day i finally found one that had it. the shop was outside the Empress building, outside kfc. haha i had to ask my mom for $20 to buy it.



all the pain money can buy

anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
it's always summer they'll never get cold

did i tell u my favourite song?

raining now more than ever
we still have each other

his after moan though cries oh no
he's building up a shine but he’d take it slow
and he knows it's time to make a change here, and time to get away
and he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons, time to end the pain

oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
oh recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
going nowhere but for us, nowhere but the two of us

and we knew it was time to take a chance here
time to compromise our lives just a little while
and it was time for all the wrong and lonely lonesome reasons
but time is often on my side but I give it to you tonight
