Cynics & Lovers

Reblogged from NCLW's Blog:

Love is abound in London town, And it’s because it’s St Valentine’s Day, There are vast bouquets, with a message that says, Too bad Clintons can’t remind me of our anniversary. Diamond rings and sparkly things, Champagne, oysters and tears, I love you, I hate you too, Job loss, illness and fears. So promise me this, when I’m withered and grey, And it is no longer St Valentine’s Day, You will still love me for all that I was, That I am and become, Just because.

Can You Stop The Email, Please

(To the tune of Jona Lewie’s ‘Stop the Cavalry’. Don’t know it? Here’s the YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hVEdE0O5tA&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

Hey Mr Berners-Lee, got a lot to answer for
Now we’re online, all the time
But it winds me up, with my coffee paper cup
Commuting to and from the enemy
Oh, I say its tough, I have had enough
Can you stop the email, please?

I have had to write, almost every night
Since the merger, months ago
That is when I say, oh yes, yet again
Can you stop the email, please?

My Sky plus box waits at home
In a wireless free zone
Wish I could be watching now
With the red wine that I love

Beep a beep a ring ring
Ping a ping a ping
Beep a beep a ring ring a beep
Beep a beep a ping

Beep a beep a ring ring
Ping a ping a ping
Beep a beep a ring ring a beep
Beep a beep a ping

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Beep, there’s another tome from the boss at home
He’s just working remotely
Knows I’m at my desk, and lest I should forget
Can always check my blackberry
If I get promoted I’ll stop, I will stop the email, please

Beep a beep a ring ring
Ping a ping a ping
Beep a beep a ring ring a beep
Beep a beep a ping

Beep a beep a ring ring
Ping a ping a ping
Beep a beep a ring ring a beep
Beep a beep a ping

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be watching now
All the movies that would allow
Disconnected from the grid
Can’t write the proposal for that bid

Wish I was at home for Christmas.
