Royals

The new catchy song from Lorde playing on my stereo these days...



Verse 1]
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal*, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

[Verse 2]
My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

The Pleasures of a Change!

Oh.. the pleasures of moving an apartment... how much fun packing and unpacking stuff.. (not to mention, discarding items)!

And it is the time to unleash your creativity!! It is almost like you are starting with a clean canvas.. the combinations and possibilities are limitless (of interior designing).

I would not trade this for anything in the world!!!... Hmm, well... if you really insist, may be I will consider letting you do the work for a grand. Nothing less.

The Supernatural Family!

My wife always used to claim she 'likes'  ghost movies.
It is a different matter after she sees one - [and she will not agree to this until after] - I need to be on guard and by her side for the next few nights ;)

Nevertheless, we seem to have a special liking for the supernatural kind... And now, our daughter seems to have inherited this aspect!!

Once when wifey was watching the trailer of this movie "The Conjuring", Aa got interested in it sensing the reaction from her mom who sat glued to the laptop.



Soon after, we made plans to catch this movie at the theatre - young parents: you know the drill, right? Make sure your kid stays awake during the day, feed her well, take her on a long drive and sure she will fall fast sleep. We did just that and it worked as fancied. We got the tickets, entered the theatre hall though a bit late and movie was just starting - And pronto, Aa work up and she recognized the movie from the trailer!

Thats it!! she sat right up, her face glowed like a halogen lamp and refused to go back to sleep.. we had to weave a story within the story for her.. like, blood became ketchup, ghosts became friends, etc.. And I had to predict gory or scary scenes in advance and cover her eyes in time! But, she would pull right at my hand and continue watching the movie till the end!!


--------------------------------

Have you seen this movie 'Ghost' starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore..? Pretty funny movie and romantic too..

We just love the song by the Righteous Brothers. You can almost say this is our family song!!

Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

And somewhere somehow I'm looking to kickstart this for myself... :)
