Housewarming (and new lyrics

Nov 24, 2008 10:51

It's official, our house is warmed and I am a Nanna. The housewarming was a spectacular event, not only in terms of society (we fit like 30 people into our tiny house) but also in terms of quantum mechanics (we fit like 30 people into our tiny house!). Many wonderful freinds were made, I met a lot of housemate people, saw a few people I already knew and another Doctor Who fan. we overbought the food so our house is still populated with a few bags of chips and lots of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Jen snapped a buttload of pictures on an oldschool SLR which, in a true indie household style, are going to place under the glass of our coffee table. I will, in a form of amazing meta, take a photo of the table and upload it.

On to me being an elderly grandmother, i totally fell asleep at like 8:30 o_O? its like "What the hell jimmy? Have you aged like 60 years?" the other alternative is to go to sleep at a reasonable time and stay the hell asleep, but why would i want to do that?

So, i've been working on a new one for the last couple of days. I've been listening to The Wombats and as a result of this I kind of want the intro, and probably more of the song, to be in a three part harmony. Words!:

I think you know what I'm saying is true
I'm the best thing that never happened to you

We all see you standing, Must be cold in that dress
You think your an angel, I think you're a mess
and i have to admit i can't help but be impressed
As your eyes are gliding sideways

You think you'e ever graceful as you go stumbling past
While your falling over I'm filling up your glass
and while I'm standing watching hearing chuckles and laughs
It's a joke to me

Trouble cause i know you'll burst my
bubble, and you'll never feel my
stubble, brushing against your perfect face
as i wait too patiently to be

the best thing that never happened to you
I need an excuse and anything will do
I think you know what i'm saying is true
im the best thing that never happened to you

I suppose im stupid cause i could have stayed
far enough abroad to make you go away
but it's hard to admit and its such a bitter shame
That i caught your attention

You forgot about the subtlties and stared at my eyes
just hoping i would make a move and try not to disguise
all the fire and the frustration that was just about to rise
passion's a lie to keep us quiet

Trouble cause i know you'll burst my
bubble, and you'll never feel my
stubble, brushing against your perfect face
as i wait too patiently to be

the best thing that never happened to you
I need an excuse and anything will do
I think you know what i'm saying is true
im the best thing that never happened to you

False hope you give me
false hope just show me
false hope which makes me
angry but its better

False hope you give me
false hope just show me
false hope which makes me
angry but its better than
no hope at all

the best thing that never happened to you
(And I will try to put this through)
I need an excuse and anything will do
(cause you've never seen anyone go like i do)
I think you know what i'm saying is true
(what am i gonna do about you)
im the best thing that never happened to you

the best thing that never happened to you
(And I will try to put this through)
I need an excuse and anything will do
(cause you've never seen anyone go like i do)
I think you know what i'm saying is true
(what am i gonna do about you)
im the best thing that never happened to you

Ok,thats all for now.
