Short Fuse

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Coal Power

Coming back to this piggy post we´d like to share a few pictures of Battersea Power Station, taken last weekend. I still do wonder how this gigantic building looked when energy production was in full swing. You can find the impressions in this section of the ever expanding list.

PreOlympic

London is struggling to find it´s way from a unique European capital shaken by financial turmoil to a metropolis striving to revive the Olympic spirit. Even after 15+ visits the city is a fascinating melting pot where one can spend money rapidly. What we saw over the last weekend is on display here now. Can´t wait to hear how much a pint will be in 2012... Ta!

Now Get This

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like

And Exhale...

Flying The Pig!

Apart from doing numerous naughty things in London - as drinking pints of luke lager - we will catch one of the last chances to visit the old Battersea Power Station this Saturday. The site that is perhaps best known for the Pink Floyd incident with the flying pig during the promotion of their Animals album, will soon see a major development taking place. So we are in town for the last rounds of public visitors during August. Time to take some pics and spot some serious ham flying thru the air...

Face Dances

After a wild weekend one sometimes does not know where ones head is, we all know that feeling. Ask yourself why I come up with that subject today!

Little help with this phenomenon, but now there is this site to help you find known faces on the web. Just enter a person name and see what pictures it comes up with. Just click the picture and you will see the web page it was found on. Spot some strange results!

Won't Cop Out

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on

April (Again)

Just in case you wonder if there are no posts about the weather anymore, I try to keep shut about it! Not because I am sunbathing all day, but because this August feels like a warm April. Sudden showers, cold winds, pouring rain,  outbreaks of sunshine - it´s all on this very August. Even a single day can have a "jolly" mixture of these ingredients. So dear old September, our hopes are set on you!

Vitamin C

Mr Pharmacist
Can you help me out today
In your usual lovely way
Oh Mr Pharmacist I insist
That you give me some of that vitamin C

Star Bucks

With the economic situation changing for the worse, everybody seems to care no end about Starbucks closing over 600 stores in the US of A. Why is that? I mean no one really howled triumphantly when their mega expansion spawned so many stores in so little time. There is a new Starbucks - yawn! Can´t be their caffeine kicks better than others. So people, get over it. There is better coffee to be drunk on this planet, there are nicer coffee bars to visit. And our cupboard  can´t carry any more of their mugs anyway...

Won´t Get Fooled Again

Gone In The Years

Take my hand, and dry your tears babe
Take my hand, forget your fears babe
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They're all gone, gone in the years babe

Not Forgotten

Rongwrong

I'm looking in my little black book
to see if I was right or rongwrong
Between the lines on the tattered pages
my spidery writing inclines

I'm old before my time
I feel that I'm growing out of this world
But with the world at my ears
I guess it's true there's no tears
no tears

When things get bad
I can always turn into a cloud
Then I'll drift back home
if the wind will blow me there
