The three songs she sent are:

• Ma Nyar Taw Buu Min Ko Chit Thi by N. Khine Yar
• Tate Tate Lay Pal Chit Twar Mal by L Sai Zee
• Way Ya Mhar Kyout Thu by Joe Jar

Out of them, I love the first one, “Ma Nyar Taw Buu Min Ko Chit Thi”, the most. Icy sang very well in that song and matches her voice perfectly. The other two are great too but I have a hard time catching up the words in the last song, “Way Ya Mhar Kyout Thu”, that I couldn’t get a short lyric out of it.

Icy sent me 3 versions of each song. I like the first version the best where she sang with all her feelings and sweet, emotional voice. The problem was, the recording was bad, we cannot hear her voice well and the music over powering her voice. So I asked her for 2nd recording and she improved it by adding some echo effect in them. They seem fine but I just don’t like echo effect and prefer her clear voice so asked for another try. The last try was excellent especially in “Ma Nyar Taw Buu Min Ko Chit Thi” song. Her voice and music match very well and the volume was alright too. So I accepted that version and was given the permission to post about it here so I can share with the rest of Icy’s fans.

Way Ya Mhar Kyout Thu: [ MP3 - Final ] [ 1st Try ]

Although I like the final versions, I still think that she’s done better in her very first recordings in terms of adding more life to the lyrics and think that her voice was more attractive in those; so here I am adding the 1st tries as well. I feel she got a little tired in “Tate Tate Lay Pal Chit Twar Mal” and “Way Ya Mhar Kyout Thu” final recordings as she must have been practising a few times and her voice must have started to give up on her; yet she has done them excellently.

Do listen to them, I guarantee that she’s way better than average newbies and has a great potential to be one of the professionals. I’m sure you’ll enjoy these three songs from Icy7ven; comments are most welcome.

The CD was neatly packed with a lyric booklet in which beautiful photos of BoA against each song. I remember, I drew 2 of her photos from the booklet. Oh, did I mention I drew quite well back in my early teen days (I sounded like a Granny now)?; just simple pencil sketches that is. I have a habit of drawing beautiful pictures to make them ugly, especially portrait faces, from the Magazines. Anyway, I remember BoA cos’ her name is very easy to remember compare to other Korean names which I can’t even pronounce. I noted that she sings well and has a nice vocal. I remember her as a young, talented teen who likes singing English verses in many of her songs. I find it strange to listen a song with English words popping up every now and then. May be if I understand Korean then I might enjoy a bit of English mix in the song. We gave an Ok to the CD. Since then I haven’t been listening any of BoA songs, although I seen her in many of Entertainment news and videos, not because I dislike her, it’s just that I rarely listen to songs that I don’t understand unless the tune is really to my liking.

Then the other day, one of the English entertainment news feeds that I roll featuring her new MTV, “Eat you up“, and I happened to watch it. She’s improved a lot in her English and now she’s singing the whole songs in English. I wasn’t paying much attention to the lyrics but I like the beat and the dances. I always enjoy watching the MTVs with great dance moves. But I kind of remember seeing the same setting in another MTV before, I mean, dancing in the ball room in front of the judges, I don’t know where but I think I’ve seen the same thing, the same room in one of the movies or MTVs, so I wasn’t impress with her video set up. Apart from that it’s a good video and she dances so well. Here it is, judge it for yourself.

BoA – Eat You Up

I must say, I kind of like BoA’s consistent look, the same long flowing hair style, the same color, the same overall style since I’ve first seen her back in 2002 or something. I dislike those changes their look very often eg. Pink changed her hair blonde; Avril Lavangue dyed her straight dark brown hair blonde, why can’t they keep their own original style and be consistent with it. It’s like you are not you at all, you keep trying to act like many others and lost your originality. That’s just annoying. Oh well, that’s just my opinion and everyone has their own so…who cares.

Enjoy BoA’s “Eat You Up”.

You’re No One If You’re Not On Twitter – The Twitter song.

You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter
And if you aren’t there already you’ve missed it
If you haven’t been bookmarked, retweeted and blogged
You might as well not have existed

In the old days it was all about achievements
Collecting all your trophies in a shrine
Then everybody came across the internet
And suddenly you had to be online

A home page was all you really needed
To seem like a success but not a geek
As long as you updated semi-annually
And checked your email once or twice a week

You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…

Technology was moving rather quickly
And the next thing you needed was a blog
With intimate and detailed press releases
And now and then a photo of your dog

More recently the students brought us Facebook
And everybody has a hundred friends
The parties in the photos look amazing
They’re not so great but everyone pretends

You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…

Now you need to publish every movement
And every single thought to cross your mind
I’m told the Twitterverse is full of rubbish
But most of us are actually quite refined

We validate each other’s insecurities
And brag about the gadgets that we’ve bought
We laugh out loud at every hint of jolliness
And try to self-promote without being caught

You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…

So are you somebody or nobody? Are you on twitter yet? Oh yes, luckly I’m someone on twitter. LOL

There is a video, mp3 download, TShirt and a few other stuffs about the Twitter song. Better go check out at I Hate Morning site.

While I’m waiting for Naruto, we’ve watched a couple of other animes as well. The followings are some of the animes we watched recently.

Bleach : [ Wiki ]

I’ve heard some good reviews about Bleach so I decided to check it out. I must say it does live up to my expectations. Bleach is interesting, fun, full of actions and rapidly dwelling your interest. Although the characters are not that cute compare to Naruto, the actions scenes are very well drawn. Before downloading Bleach, my bro and I have a hard time deciding whether to choose Bleach or Death Note for both of them were top rated animes at that time. Then my bro decided that he doesn’t like the Death Note story and wanted to watch longer episodes, we started downloading Bleach.

After watching a few episodes of Bleach, I wasn’t sure which one I like more – Naruto or Bleach cos’ they both are great in their own ways. Bleach got more actions with little story development. Naruto got a good story build up and is funnier. I guess Naruto is for younger audience since the characters themselves are younger compare to those in Bleach. Still, both of them are superb and hard to decide which is better.

Saiunkoku Monogatari : [ Wiki ] [ Characters ] [ Characters Graphical ]

Ok to make it short, I love everything about this anime. The story is lovely and characters are just soooo cute! Currently it’s their second season but they licensed the show so previous sub-titler group dropped the project and was halted. But I heard another group has started picking again so hopefully we get to see/catch up the second season episodes soon.

Now, about the theme songs; every anime has opening and closing theme songs. In Naruto and Bleach, they changed lots of songs already since they’ve been on air for many seasons. For Saiunkoku, I love both opening and closing songs especially the closing song, “Saikou no Kataomoi“. The vocal is very sweet and can go too high note. Notice the very beginning of the song, there is one long – pitch note. I thought it was some sort of flute or instrumental sound but actually it really is the singer’s vocal. Man, she can sing or what? I try to scream like that but my throat gone kapoot as soon as I open my mouth. (Khway A’ Hlal Ninn pi htwet tal a tan lo pal) LOL Definitely it’s not my key. Oh and the vocalist, Tainaka Sachi, looks like Chaw Su Khin…the mouth I mean. I searched for the mp3 files but couldn’t find it before; lucky enough someone uploaded them on idols-unlimited a few weeks back and I quickly grabbed them from there. The 2nd song being my favorite, I’ve been listening repeatedly almost everyday and I don’t seem to get tired of it yet. I’m a sucker for this kind of slow, tiny, sweet melodious songs, some what good to sleep with. ahehehe.

The ending song has been changed in the second season and the opening graphic looks terrible. I love the opening graphic from the first season; they should have kept it. Graphic from part two of the first season is also good but for some reason second season opening graphic sucks. Anyways, if you like cute characters and lovely story, you should watch this anime. Make sure to listen to the following two songs too. I bet you’ll like it.

Phwe – Icy7ven
This week I got two songs from Phwe’s old collections. “Ta Di Ya Nay Mhar Par” is about rememberence of the old university by Mie Mie Win Phay and Phwe sang it pretty well, though I think the song should be abit slower cos’ it’s suppose to be a sad song. “Pa Soe Nae Tite Pong” is Phwe’s favorite. The song is about wearing Burmese traditional dress – a gal is telling her bf to wear proper dress when he come see her parents. Her parents don’t like baggy cloths and next time if he doesn’t wear proper clothing, she will not accept him. It’s a good song though I find it kinda funny.

Tu’I kolongahau kaikoa
A friend from Tonga forwarded me this beautiful song. This is the first time for me to listen a Tongan song and I like it. Sometimes back, one of my friend sent me a PNG song which also has the similar name Maria or Mae in it. Unfortunately I misplaced the file and couldn’t find it back. But I think PNG and Tongan dialect are a bit similar…may be not. I also lost a CD with many good songs from South Pacific – Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia and all those small island nations. I’ve been losing things lately, hmm so bad! Anyways, I requested the song details and here is what he sent me. Sweet isn’t it. I bet his gal must be really touched by it.

[ WMA ] Tu’I kolongahau kaikoa – Oh, my dear Maria

About the song:This song has been played throughout the three local and secular radio stations in Tonga: FM 88.6, FM 90 and AM 110.03

I wrote this in dedication to my current girlfriend. Her name is Demarise, who is currently studying in Africa. Due to the long distance relationship, and being, what we call it, ‘lovesick’ most of the time, I decided to put all my thoughts into a song, with my heart etched to it. The chorus of the song has her name in it.

I never thought this song would be recognized. I guess it’s just that I put my whole heart into it, where there are also others out there who can identify themselves with me. We all go through times when you think you will go crazy just missing somebody you love so much. I have translated the lyrics of the song in English, though I wish you knew Tongan because the heat of the matter is better explained in my mother tongue language, Tongan.

Read, listen and enjoy. And to all you lovebirds out there, just hang in there!

English Translation

Oh, my dear Maria

As the wind blows from the northern hemisphere
My thoughts are just filled with you
I don’t see anything else but your face in my dreams
It actually relieves me of the pain I feel (in heart and mind)

Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, my Maria…

In the evening when the sun is about to set
It reminds me of your beautiful smile
I think of nothing and nobody else but you alone
Yes, the love of my heart (my lover)

Oh how I wish that I were near you
The thought of it just takes my breath away
Yes, I so cannot wait for that day
When I pledge you myself (body, heart, mind and soul)

# NB. The file is in .wma format and it got some keys in it. Just download it and you should be able to play as many times as you wish.
Thanks Hayden and Tu’i-K-K for the song.

May – G7ven
And finally this two is from me. “A Pyin Pyay Nya Nay” is about a girl day dreaming in a boring evening and sings about the thing she sees on the street. It’s L Sine Ze’s song and my recording is crap, overriding her vocal. “Nha Ko Tu Chit Ta Mhya” is very OLD song from a very OLD movie – “Thingyan Moe”, singing about two love birds. It’s a duet song but I sang for both. I can’t keep up the vocals … oh well…who cares!

This week songs are especially dedicated to self-proclaimed “Ko Ko” out there. LOL nah…I just found some of our old songs with “Ko Ko” in it so compiled it together here.

Phwe – Icy7ven
I’ve introduced her in last week post. This week she sang the following two songs. I think “Tate Ta Kho A Chit” is from “Mu Paing Chit Thu” movie with Kyaw Thu and May Than Nu. Very old one, if I remember it right. It’s a nice movie though I forgot the whole story, I guess the song was sang when Kyaw Thu was away and May Than Nu got sick…or something like that.

The 2nd song is from May Kha Lar’s album sang by Yu Za Na. I think Phwe is better than Yu Za Na in vocal. I don’t like Yu Za Na voice much cos’ it’s kinda like throaty and flat. But she knows how to sing so it’s good for her.

NWP
This guy is my OLD school friend. He’s a shy one; young, good looking, smart (doing his Masters), kind, patient (that’s what he said, but I don’t think so), single (all the ladies out there, if you’re interested, just give a buzz lol) and he sings quite well too. There you go man; I’m saying all good things about you so you owe me a good lunch. Bite sar nay tal kwa!

Both songs are nice. I think “Kyin Nar Lo Chit Pa Ya Say” is originally sung by Doe Lone. NWP sang it quite differently in terms of ah…how to say…breaking parts and the tune. But his version is also good and easy listening. I don’t know who sang “Myat Lone Chin Sakar Pyaw Nay Pyi” but it’s a nice one too.

Phwe – Icy7ven
First of all, I like to introduce this young and talented missy – Phwe. She’s one of my 7ven friends and is a great singer in our group. Her best interests are to sing, chat and diet. She can sing for hours, no need any water or backup. She sings at home, in the loo, in bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, her friends’ places, and any place she can possibly think of singing. At the moment she is concentrating on her study. Due to her parents’ no-singing policy, she has to finish her studies first then follow her dreams. Already she got bookings from her friends to sing at their special occasions.

[See post to listen to audio]

Missy sang at last year Thingyan festival too, I bet she’s practicing for this year Thingyan as well. You can request her to sing any song you have in mind. Oh yah she can sing quadri-lingual, Myanmar, English, Indian and Nepalese. How cool is that! Last time she sang me “Kush kush ho te hel” song and I think even Ashwaya Rai need to practice more on her vocal to catch up our Missy. hehe

Glass Alley
This is one of my friend’s high school band, sort of. A group of hsch friends teamed up to do a bit of recording. Sadly, the band is pretty much no more due to their members getting married and entering the chaos of daily life. The members were Meli, Albert, Jonathan, Steve and Forlani (my friend). I think Forlani played bass and did the intro part. Don’t know who the vocalist is but he’s got a potential. Sounded like John Mayer’s voice. There you go, shout me something good. Haha

[ MP3 ] Glass Alley – Turn Back The Hands
[See post to listen to audio]

[ MP3 ] Glass Alley – Standing In The Rain
[See post to listen to audio]

These two songs are from one of their live shows. The recording is not that good in some parts but I think it’s alright. Both are their own creations so no replication please.

May – G7ven
A Ham, Ahamm! Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, lend me your ears. I have a great pleasure to introduce this amazing, talented, beautiful, magnificent, gorgeous, the marvelous (Cut, cut!), ME. A ha` ha`

Hey nothing wrong with promoting yourself alrite. There is this marketing theory – the more you promote yourself, the more people will buy from you. (or something like that) Not that I got anything to sell you, I’m just giving an example…well you know what I mean. I don’t think you need farther intro for me. I don’t sing anywhere and singing is not my specialty. I listen most of the time and am a good listener. Just for fun, I do sing from time to time for my own pleasure. I got a great support from my family, especially bro and sis to shut myself up whenever I try to sing.

[ MP3 ] May – Hlet Kyi Par Oo
[See post to listen to audio]

In Hlet Kyi Par Oo, ahoot* cough* cough* I was screaming that much but that person never look back. What a fool. I got a sore throat after that. A friend sent me a scratched background music so it came out terrible. All my recordings sux. Well who cares! Do excuse me, if you hear some dog barking at the background. My dog wanted to sing too (or may be complaining my singing), so just to satisfy her, I have to record a few of her woofs* as well.

Alrite, that’s all for this week. Hope you enjoy listening all our songs and our sweet voices (especially mine rite?).hehe

I requested some songs from a few friends of mine so you’ll get to listen more from simple and ordinary talents in weeks ahead. Oh yah, if you’re interested to join us, do send me your songs. It doesn’t have to be your own creation. It can be Karaoke versions too. I just wanna hear your voices. Like my friend said, “any publicity is a good publicity”, so don’t be shy, lend me your voices.

Send me your voices and a bit of your info to mayvelous [at] gmail [dot] com

Beyonce + Shakira – Beautiful Lier

You don’t want to miss this. This one is an amazing combo of the two most favorite singers’ new song. Both of them are so HOT; Beyonce as a wild sexy woman while Shakira on the other hand is more sophisticated one with captivate charms. There was a comment about Shakira being the REAL reason behind Global Warming and I think I have to second on that. LOL

The song by itself is not that outstanding but you must check out youTube video. You’ll be replaying more than once for sure. Both of them got great vocal but Shakaria got this unique throaty-nosy voice which is more attractive in my opinion. Beyonce learn the salted-worm moves from the worm queen Shakira. I still prefer Shakira on those moves. I think Beyonce is much better with her wild leach-mambos.

Ok if you don’t like worms and leaches then we could say…Jelly Shake and Shivering. But come to think of it, Jelly can’t twist and turn; they only bounce from side to side. So Shakari is definitely a worm and as for beyonce, I must say…she is more like shivering jelly. Hehe

They should make more songs with the combo, the record will sell like crazy. I want to see trio – Beyonce, Shakira and JLo, wow that gonna be so cool.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyric ]

Rihanna + Nicole Scherzinger – Winning Women

Last week we got www, this week it’s ww.
This is another hot pair – young, beautiful and talented Rihanna team up with Nichole, ultra thin hot chic, the lead singer from Pussy Cat Dolls (PCD). It’s for a new TV ad “Fusion Deodorant” or something. Not bad.

Ok enough with combos, I was planning to post some slow, nice songs this week but I just have to post the first two. Now back to my picks.

Norah Jones – Thinking About You + Wake Me Up

You must have heard of her, she was the top hit a few year back with “Come Away With Me” song. This two songs are from her new album, Not Too Late, which selling with a great number. She’s very good at making you sleep. I listen her songs whenever I want to sleep, and it takes me only half of her songs then I’ll be sleeping like a log. She got this unique vocal which is kind of drowsy yet sweet. I only like this two songs the most from “Not Too Late” album. Others are just too sleepy to keep listening.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyrics ] Thinking About You
[ Lyric ] Wake Me Up

Emma Bunton – All I Need To Know

Haven’t seen her for ages, she was one of the Spice Girls back in the old days. Emma looking abit oldish in the video but vocal is still sweet in this beautiful song.

[ YouTube ][ Lyric ]

Jewel – Quest For Love

Jewel is not really my favorite but I still like her. She’s more like country style or something. A friend of mine loves her songs, so this is for her. It’s from Jewel’s new album, “Alice in he wonder land”.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyric ]

Sarah Brightman – Stranger In Paradise

She is one of the classical vocalists. You know those sing with loud, pitchy, tiny voices in opera and stuffs. Yah, her songs are not that classic but they are slow and nice to listen. I like it anyway. It’s good to sleep with.

[ Lyric ]

And…that’s about it. Enjoy!

Beyonce – World Wide Woman

It’s www everywhere and even Beyonce singing about it. haha. She still keeping her strong vocal style and it’s OK song. I find it a little annoying to hear that “I’m a world wide woman, w-w-w” repeatedly. It goes round n round in my head and kinda of make me dizzy.

Jennifer Lopez – Porque La Vida Es Asi

Adding Spanish flavor here. This is JLo’s new hit. She sings beautifully in there. I don’t know a word of it but I just like those tongue twisting languages.

Shakira – Illegal

I like her for how she sings and the way she dance. She is just too hot, I bet everyone agrees to that in her previous hit – Hip don’t lie. Even salted earth worm can’t twist and turn like her.Gosh the way she move. LOL This song is a slow one and good listening. I like it.

Avril Levigne – Girlfriend

My favorite skiter boi pop star, Avril Levigne’s new single “The Best Damn Thing” is gonna come out around April and got one leak song from there. It’s OK song, good to jump around – Hey Hey! You You! Check out the cover too. She is blonde now. Why blonde I don’t know, it just spoil her nice hair. I prefer the previous long straight brown one. She changed her style – more galie now.

Kelly Rowland (ft. Eve) – Like This

You all know her. She’s one of the gals from Destiny Childs’ – Kelly Rowland; she is releasing her solo album “Miss Kelly” later this year and this one is the first track from there featuring Eve.

Kelly Clarkson – One Minute

This is from her new album. I don’t like her voice here. She sounded like having a bad throat and can’t talk/sing well. The sound doesn’t come out clearly, and I just don’t like this track. comparing to some of her old hits.

Hilary Duff – With Love

This is from her new album “Dignity”. I like the background beat and the song is alrite too. She sings well and the beat is nice though quite a lot of repeatations. She topped the “Best Music Artist that come out from Disney Network”, with Lindsay Lohan as 2nd and Ashley Tisdale as 3rd.

Ashley Tisdale – Headstrong

You know this gal from the twin show comes on Sundays – The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She really can sing! She’s is like little Britney style. All the songs in this album are pretty cool. Pop, fast beats and teen style.

Mandy Moore – Extraordinary

Quite a while we haven’t hear her songs and now she’s back with Extraordinary. It’s pretty slow one. Not bad.

Sarah Mclachlan – Ordinary Miracle

After Mandy Moore’s Extraordinary, here comes Sarah Mclachlan’s Ordinary Miricle. I like her songs, they are always sweet, slow and easy listening. This new one is also a nice melody and I like it.

Ok this is enough for two weeks picks. Which one you like most from here? Any pick you wanna share with me too? Enjoy yall.

She has a voice similar to Kelly Clarkson, Joss Stone, quite a bit of Christina and Beyonce mixed. But hers is abit softer, not big one like Joss Stone and not that strong like Christina. Some songs she sings like Kelly Clarkson and in some her style is very similar to Beyonce.

Katharine Hope McPhee (born March 25, 1984) is an American singer who was the runner-up to Taylor Hicks on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006.

IMHO, she has all it needs, the age, the look, the vocal and the attitude to become a great pop star. She follows a lot like Kelly Clarkson. Though I still prefer Kelly Clarkson cos’ she got more confidence vocal and very charismatic, I also believe Katharine will do great as she shows her potentials in this debut album.

I’m not sure how Katharine performs on stage as I’ve never seen her music video or the idol show. To be a great star needs not only vocal but the sensational look too. I already like her look and most of her songs from the album so a thumb up from me.

Here is my favorite 5 from the album.

Dangerous – this one is the top list from her album I think, it’s pretty cool. My #1. Sounded like Christina.

Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run away.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.
Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run and play.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.

[ Lyrics ]

Over It – Jr. Kelly Clarkson with a tint of Gwen on the chorus part. 2nd best.

Oh and that’s why
Your eyes… I’m over it.
You’re smile… I’m over it.
Realized… I’m over it, I’m over it, I’m over…
Wanting you to be wanting me.
No, that ain’t no way to be.
How I feel.
Read my lips.
Because I’m so over…

[ Lyrics ]

Love Story – I like the beat from here.

It’s a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story

[ Lyrics ]

Neglected – A slow one, I like the chorus part.

The more you try to tell me that you changed
the more i feel neglected
if this is how you try to make it up to me
then let’s just end it
I dont, like this feeling any more
I dont, like this feeling
cause whenever i’m around you boy i know that i won’t be respected
just neglected

[ Lyrics ]

Ordinary World – Slow one too, love the lyric. She is just Jr. Beyonce in this one.

Close your eyes and feel me hold you
Can you lead me through this ordinary world
Let the sky cry, restless rain to wash away the miles
Between us, ’cause without you it’s just an ordinary world

[ Lyrics ]

Lily Rose Beatrice Allen(born May 2, 1985) is an English pop artist, currently signed to Regal/Parlophone (EMI), and known for songs such as “Smile” and “LDN”. She is the daughter of actor/comedian/musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Her single “Smile” reached #1 on the UK singles charts in July 2006.

I picked the following five as my favorites from her album – Alright, Still.

Alfie – I like Alfie very much, it has this marching kind of music and the lyric is also very funny. It’s about her brother and shows the usual bro-sis relationships such as pulling hair and swearing each other. Just like me and my bro except that mine doesn’t smoke weed and need no help from me. My bro is quite a smart one (NOT!).

Oh I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there’s no need to swear,
Please don’t despair my dear, Mon frere.

[ Lyrics ]

Smile – is kinda like a revange on her ex. The lyric doesn’t tell much but you got to watch the video and see her cruel little act to get back at her ex.

At first when I see you cry,
yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

[ Lyrics + YouTube ]

Littlest Things – It’s sad yet sweet.

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?

[ Lyrics ]

LDN – Her experience on roaming around London town.

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it’s all lies

[ Lyrics ]

Friday Night – I like the chorus from this one. About Friday night clubbing and cat fight.

Don’t try and test me cos you’ll get reaction,
Another drink and I’m ready for action,
I don’t know who you think you are,
But making people scared wont get you very far.

[ Lyrics ]

There you have it, enjoy.
