Here is the song, Dear God by XTC with lyrics. I downloaded this from Youtube, so credit goes to the person who made and posted this. :)
I downloaded a compilation of the bests in the soundtrack of The Perks of Being a Wallflower Movie.The songs were not of this time and they were eargasms; especially the first song. But what caught my curiousity is this song. At first, I just listened to its tune. Then I got interested to what it is saying. So here is the lyrics of Dear God of XTC’s 1986 album, Skylarking.
“Dear God,
Hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better
down here.
I don’t mean a big reduction in the
price of beer
But all the people that you made in
your image,
See them starving on their feet
‘Cause they don’t get enough to
eat
From God
I can’t believe in you.
Dear God,
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud
and clear.
We all need a big reduction in the
amount of tears
And all the people that you made
in your image,
See them fighting in the street
‘Cause they can’t make opinions
meet
About God,
I can’t believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the
diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we
made you?
And the devil too?!
Dear God,
Don’t know if you noticed, but…
Your name is on a lot of quotes in
this book,
Us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look,
And all the people that you made
in your image,
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain’t, and so do you
Dear God,
I can’t believe in…
I don’t believe in…
I won’t believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners, no devil as
well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You’re always letting us humans
down.
The wars you bring, the babes you
drown.
Those lost at sea and never
found,
And it’s the same the whole world
‘round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody’s unholy hoax
And if you’re up there you’d
perceive
That my heart’s here upon my
sleeve.
If there’s one thing I don’t believe
in…..
It’s you…..
Dear God.”
Listen to it in YouTube! :)
Okay. So at the time I came up with this blog, the spirit of creativity was not with me. But that doesn’t mean my intentions weren’t pure. Lol.
A new blog I just created last March 1 bears a title “Young and Going Professional”. It is a semi professional blog that features CreativePRO and my involvement with its activities.
You might wonder why yoangopro.blogspot.com? Well as I’ve mentioned above, I lack the spirit of creativity at that time. Also I did not want an address that is too long. So what I did is I took the first two letters of young, and, and going (yoango) and the first three letters of professional (pro). Hence yoangopro pronounce as yo-an-go-pro. :)
So far I only have two posts. Click here to check it. Thanks!
The Catcher in the Rye is my March Must Read.
Premiered here in the Philippines last February 20, 2013, I was very excited to watch Beautiful Creatures in the big screen. Have you seen the trailer? It’s interesting and it’s about witches and magic. Last time I checked, I’m into those stuffs. So last night with some friends, I’ve finally watched it. Oh boy, I didn’t like it. :(
Click here to know why. :P
Here I am lying on my bed, no where to go and reading a novel(The Amber Spyglass). Apparently, this is a typical weekend for me.
From the always somewhere, drinking alcohol or simply hanging out with friends guy, I am again that once upon a time home kid who does house chores for past time.
I don’t mind. Simple nights like this, I have a peace of mind.
These past few days I have been obsessing over taking up a post college degree in Law. I’ve discovered that in the Philippines, there are the Bachelor of Science in Law (LlB), the usual law degree and the Juris Doctor (JD), the new law degree. The difference is JD has a thesis and defense. Regardless though, as long as one passes the law board exam, you can practice the profession.
So far, I have my eyes on University of Santo Thomas (UST), University of the East (UE) and San Beda College (SBC). Only UE offers JD among the three but I have UST at the top of my options.
As of now, I have been answering mock Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Before I did, I read some materials summarizing the nature of the possible questions and providing tips on how to answer them and fast . I’m satisfied to find out that from the LSAT mock tests I answered, I got an average of 93% correct answers. The problem though is, I failed to finished each sections of the exam within the instructed timespan. It took me twice and even more long to finish.
That’s all within today. So I blogged to rest my mind and relax. Head ache? Kind of but I’m enjoying it. I’ll blog more about this soon. :)
Yesterday, someone liked to gather his friends in one activity so they could hang out together.
That someone liked going to all sort of places, meeting new people and making friends.
That someone liked to go out for movies, concerts, shopping, partying and other stuffs.
Today, that someone stays home, prefer solitude with his novels and doesn’t engage that much with people.
That someone is me. :)
This ending never entered my mind. It’s weird that with you the only thing I hold on to now are memories and anger. No. Actually, it’s not weird anymore.
Today, I can’t bring myself not be angry with you. How easy things ended just because we choose the peace that compromises what we have. All those years, thrown.
For the record, I’m not angry because of what you’ve gain. No. It never bothered me. Yet, that’s a reminder of how insignificant that of which I regarded so highly has always been to you. I hope that you get more from that.
I’d be as dense as you are if I don’t admit that I have my fault in this. I know what I did wrong. And I can only hope that you do too. Although, I doubt you will at all. It’s just beyond you.
With this entry, the story of friendship that has an unexpected beginning on my return to my high school alma mater has came to its tragic conclusion.
For 2013, I can only give you a small amount of normalcy during our times together, for all past’s sake. I can never be totally okay with you anymore. Not even death can change that.
