The Killers - Mr Brightside

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QVlfINuDdKE

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And I just can't look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

'Cause I just can't look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...

Virus Alert - "Weird Al" Yankovic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvfD5rnkTws

Hey, everyone, listen up, your attention, if you please,
Really wanna give you a warning,
'Cause I found out this morning,
'Bout a dangerous, insidious computer virus!

If you should get an email with the subject, 'Stinky Cheese',
Better not go taking your chances,
Under no circumstances should you open it,
Or else it will;

Translate your documents into Swahili!
Make your TV record 'Gigli'!
Neuter your pets, and give you laundry static cling! (Look out!)
It's gonna make your computer screen freeze, (Look out!)
Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs, (Look out!)
Erase your hard drive and your backups too,
And the hard drive of anyone related to you!

Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody!

Soon, very soon, it will make all the paint peel off your walls,
It'll make your keyboard all sticky,
Give your poodle a hickey,
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney!
Then, it will tie up your phone, making crank long-distance calls,
It'll set your clocks back an hour, and start hogging the shower,
So just trash it now, or else it will;

Decide to give you a permanent wedgie!
Legally change your name to Reggie!
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool! (Look out!)
It's gonna melt your face right off your skull, (Look out!)
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull, (Look out!)
And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep, (Look out!)
And make you physically attracted to sheep, (Look out!)
Steal your identity and your credit cards, (Look out!)
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards, (Look out!)
Then cause a major rift in time and space,
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place!

That's right, it's a:
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody!

Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody!
Warn all your friends, send this to everybody!
Tell everyone you know, tell everybody now!

If you get infected, you'll wish you had never been born,
So before it emails your grandmother all of your p*rn;

Turn off your computer, and make sure it powers down,
Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground,
Bury it completely, rocks and boulders should be fine,
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!

Virus alert!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
JUST HURRY UP AND FORWARD THIS TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT YOU KNOW!

HIT!
SEND!
RIGHT!

The ʎɯɹ∀ lɐᴉɹoʇᴉɹɹǝ┴ of Corbeil

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge, and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's f..ked up, and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, I walk alone, I walk a-
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone

TODAY IN THE WEST

You already know that today is Karaoke Friday! Share your favorite music on the RMB, or just enjoy the TWP tunes that others are playing.

Reminder to the Hall of Nations that we are currently holding elections for Speaker of the Hall and Hall of Nations Guardian! Your vote matters, so check out our TWP forum, linked in the WFE, to participate!

And, just for fun, here's a Question of the Now: If you were designing your ideal home, what would it be like?

The ʎɯɹ∀ lɐᴉɹoʇᴉɹɹǝ┴ of Corbeil

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East at least it's settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Hi

ENG TRANS

Please, will you tell me your story? Because I want to know

As I've always told you, I'll hold you gently and warmly in my arms
We didn't know each other that much, I didn't know that time has passed so I close my eyes

Your eyes, your nose, your lips, on the tips of my fingers
These past days have been drenched with dreams
"No, I'm not alone anymore"
You say that like a miracle

Please, will you tell me your story? Because I want to know
Stop hiding, I'll be right by your side
I follow your voice, I follow your breath
All the pain and sadness is over now

Please tell me, hurry up and tell me (Save Me)
That's right, we're getting closer to each other like this
Please tell me, while I'm in your arms (Save You)
Your words that ring in my ears, Save Me, Save You

I will protect you so you don't get hurt
I can tell even with small gestures
All the painful memories deep in your heart is no more
I'll wrap you in my arms, now tell me

My heart trembles because of your smile, Why am I so familiar with it?
Somehow, like this, over and over again
I think we've met

Please, will you tell me your story? Because I want to know
Stop hiding, I'll be right by your side
I follow your voice, I follow your breath
All the pain and sadness is over now

Please tell me, hurry up and tell me (Save Me)
That's right, we're getting close this was
Please tell me, while I'm in your arms (Save You)
Your words that ring in my ears, Save Me, Save You

We can fill it together, You and I together, beautifully one by one
Don't let a little wind take you away
To make my small wishes reach deep into your heart
I'm desperate to know more about you this night
Do you hear me?

Promise me, that this wall between us will fall down
I'll come closer so you won't drift farther away
I know you because I can feel you
Now it's all over

Please, will you tell me your story? Because I want to know
Stop hiding, I'll be right by your side
I follow your voice, I follow your breath
(As I've told you)
Until the passing time when we don't know each other

I know you because I can feel you

You call us heathens with zero respect for the law
We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's all
We write what we live and we live what we write is that wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs

And don't listen to mine, they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs

Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things about
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs

And don't listen to mine, they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own songs

The Res Publica Romana of Desmosthenes and Burke

Being the closest day to my wedding anniversary:

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé
Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux
Balayer les amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayer pour toujours
Je repars à zéro
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi

No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
Not the good done to me
Nor the bad, it's all the same to me

No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
It's paid off, swept away, forgotten
I don't give a damn about the past

With my memories
I lit the fire
My sorrows, my pleasure
I don't need them anymore.
Sweep away the loves
With their tremolos
Sweep them away for forever
I'm starting back at zero

No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
Not the good done to me
Nor the bad, it's all the same to me

No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
Because my life, my joies,
Today, they begin with you!

The ʎɯɹ∀ lɐᴉɹoʇᴉɹɹǝ┴ of Corbeil

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, oh, oh, oh
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Storing facts learned from fools and from sages
You view the earth
Oh, sing with me, this mournful dub
Sing with me, sing for a year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Oh, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
I dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on

Big kitchen with a granite-countertop island in the center. Leave that empty to be used as a prep area, then have small appliances on the countertops along the walls.

Living room with a gaming PC that can connect to the TV, as well as a small desk to the side so I can play games while my wife watches her shows, without having to be in separate rooms. I've been planting the seeds of this idea in her head for about 5 years now and she's almost ready to let me make it happen XD

A combined office/studio. Most of the work I do from home only needs my laptop and a couple monitors so the office bit is easy. Building a music room is a bit more of an endeavor: Needs some kind of soundproofing to not drive my wife crazy. Room for a drum set, a couple guitar amps, bass amp, and keyboards. Since we're talking "Ideal" home, also a rack loaded with preamps and effects that makes my wallet hurt even thinking about it. And why not throw in a real mixing console instead of my USB interface.

My wife wants a garage with some gym equipment, and I like to tell myself that if it was that easily-accessible I'd use it, too. Maybe I even mean it.

Enough of a backyard to have a small garden. I have a potted orange tree that would love to live in the ground. And nothing beats homegrown tomatoes fresh off the vine. But screw manicured grass lawns. Grow some wildflowers to feed the bees and other pollinating insects (plus, attract them so they pollinate my vegetable plants).

And, just for fun, here's a Question of the Now: If you were designing your ideal home, what would it be like?

I would have those weird chairs that look like they're made for people who slouch a little too much, a bunch of paintings from Ivan Seal, a lot of anime posters, a library, and maybe some "futuristic" furniture.

Ezranian empire

Elianio wrote:Well, you got one more ;) Also, tip: endorse the other important people here! Ezranian empire only got so many in part because...
1: I'm his brother, and I've been here for roughly 1 year, meaning I had told him my personal lows, and my favorite moments.
2: I sent him a list of people to endorse, and the general rules here.
3: I told him how to get citizenship, and to join the discord (he has an account, unlike me. I just don't want an account for now.)
4. He joined the game a few minutes before me, so he's had the same amount of time as me to adapt to the game.
5. He was a delegate for a bit of time for a small region comprised of alt accounts.

In my opinion, the #1 rule here is to have fun, and follow the actual rules!

I do have to thank Elanio for telling me what to do and what not to do. Also, I never felt as welcome, even my time as delegate at my previous region, compared to here.

James - Sit Down

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zPNw_2h0CnU

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Down

The Who - Summertime Blues

Well, I'm a'gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer
Just to try and earn a dollar

Well I went to the boss
Said I got a date
The boss said "No Dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me
"Son you gotta earn some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday"

Well I didn't go to work
I told the boss I was sick
He said "You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem
To the United Nations

Well I went to my congressman
He said, quote: "I'd like to help you son
But you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late

Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said "woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine"
All we need is just a little patience
Said "sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine"
All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know love there's one more thing to consider
Said "woman take it slow and things will be just fine"
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said "sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright"
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it
Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah (I've been walking the streets at night)
Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah but I need you (All need more patience)

Once upon a time not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
