Go Lilly!

Needs no intro...
But the words of the song are below.




Do you think, everything, everyone is going mental
It seems to me, we're spiraling out of control, and it's inevitable
Now don't you think, this time is yours, this time is mine, it's temperamental
It seems to me, we're on all fours, crawling on our knees, someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright, no not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just a bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny 'cos I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it, just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose its just the way the cookie crumbles

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Don't you want, something else, something new, than what we got here
And don't you feel, it's all the same, some sick game, and it's so insincere
I wish I could, change the ways, of the world, make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay, doing what we do, screwing who we screw

Why can't I sleep at night
Don't say it's gonna be alright
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise
And not feel bad about it for days and days and days

In all the magazines they talk about weight loss
If I buy those jeans I could look like Kate Moss
I know it's not the life that I chose
But I guess it's just the way that things go

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life

Ba ba ba ba etc.

Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright, no not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just a bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny 'cos I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cos of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I musn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

But I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles
But I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

Bitterness


I've been fortunate enough to meet many people who encourage this flavour in their hearts and lives. I say fortunate because they are teachers. They teach me to value whatever life is offering in the moment, and never to hold on too tightly to the past because for all its joys and sorrows it is no more.

Only now exists and it is sweet. That is a choice.


Notably those who cultivate bitterness in the heart are usually unaware or unconscious that they choose to do so. Instead they nurture the pain and the pain nurtures them, urging them on to continue the cycle. They then walk into situations where pain is because it is familiar and comfortable and they can add to the basket. In any of these actions there is choice and the decision to be conscious at the very least to what is happening.

Peace will only grow where the soil is fertile with NOW!
