Quick Brown Fox...

I am making no apology for another short one... I am pooped! but the grounds and pits look great even though it still looks like winter...
Winamp is upbeat tonight... been playing a lot of Techno, Euro beat and dance stuff, sure is helping me stay awake an get the blog done, trying to think what would be suitable for tonight's lyric bit... Aha! Got this amazing song the other day by Ana Johnson, from the Spiderman 2 soundtrack... real powerful lyrics and a great piece and well sung... Although I don't think one should compare her with Avril Lavine...
We Are - Ana Johnsson
See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone

(Chorus)
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are

One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why

(Chorus)

It's all about power then
Take control
Breaking the rule
Breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there's nothing left
My oh my, my oh my

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We' ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone.... so alone

(Chorus)

It's all about power then (we are)
Take control (we are)
Breaking the rule (we are, we are)
Breaking the soul (we are)
They suck us dry till there's nothing left (we are, we are)
My oh my, my oh my

We are
We are (its all )
We are
We are, we are (take control)
We are
We are
It's all about power
Then take control

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog... glad to see the family in Natal is back on line, that sentence is always used by net techies to test a line for dropouts and make sure the connection is solid...
