California. There Is No End To Love.

Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara

Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara

Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara

Bar-Bar-Barbara, Santa Barbara...

California

Then we sail into the shiny sea

The weight that drags your heart down

Well, that's what took me where I need to be

Which is here, out on Zuma

Watching you cry like a baby

California

At the dawn you thought would never come

But it did

Like it always does

Whoa, oh, all I know

And all I need to know is

There is no, yeah,

There is no end to love

I didn't call you

Words can scare a thought away

Everyone's a star in our town

It's just your light gets dimmer if you have to stay

In your bedroom, in a mirror

Watching yourself cry like a baby

California

The blood orange sunset brings you to your knees

I've seen for myself, there's no end to grief

That's how I know

Whoa, that's how I know

And why I need to know

That there is no, yeah,

There is no end to love

Whoa, oh, all I know

And all I need to know is

There is no, yeah,

There is no end to love

Whoa, oh, all I know

And all I need to know is

There is no, yeah,

There is no end to love

Whoa, we come and go

With stolen days you don't get back

Stolen days are just enough.

Tunnel Of Love

Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose

Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo

And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam

And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am

In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light

She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night

I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll

I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

And I'm just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love

It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk

She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this

It's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say

Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

And I'm just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love

Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig

Money for muscle and another girl I dig

Another hustle just to make it big

And rockaway rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

Like the spanish city to me when we were kids

Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

Like the spanish city to me when we were kids

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this

She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss

And in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away

I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

And I'm just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades

In any shooting gallery where promises are made

To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

Like the spanish city to me when we were kids

Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

Like the spanish city to me when we were kids...

Greener

Thought life would be better

If you spent it with another

Thought the grass would be greener

If you left me for her

The glass would be cleaner

The juice much sweeter

Thought the skies would be clearer

The sun would shine brighter

Oooh, you were so wrong

And now you’re singing your

Remorseful song, song

And you, wish you didn’t move on

Oh but honey, your mistakes,

They can’t be undone, undone

Thought the bond would last longer

The passion would be stronger

Thought your life would be easier

You’re flirting with disaster

Thought you found a hidden treasure

But her wealth wasn’t richer

Thought you could divide and conquer

The honeymoon’s over

Oooh you were so wrong

You underestimated me, all along, along

And you, thought I couldn’t move on

Oh but honey, the love for you is now gone, now gone

What now you’re not a believer

Cause the tension’s getting steamier

You know you made an error

The grass wasn’t greener

Her reflection’s in the mirror

It isn’t any clearer

Now you see her true demeanor

You’re ready to leave her

You said you had to get it off your chest

You wish you never left

What a situation, oh what a mess

Cause you know I was the best

Your promises were meaningless

Now you live with your regrets

Stuck in your self-made mess,

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yeeaahhh, whoooo, yeeaahhh

Greener … thought it would be greener

Greener … yea, thought it would be greener, greener

Oooh, you were so wrong

And now you’re singing, you're singing your

Remorseful song, song

And you, yeah, you couldn’t move on

Oh now honey, my love for you is now gone, now gone

Greener … thought it would be greener

Greener … yea, thought it would be greener, greener, greener

Greener

Greener

Greener … thought it would be greener

Greener … yea, thought it would be greener, greener, greener...

Awitin Mo Isasayaw Ko

Walang iba pang sasarap 

Sa pagtitinginan natin 

Sana ay di na magwakas 

Itong awit ng pag-ibig 

Awit natin 

Ay wag na wag mong kalimutan 

Pangako ko naman 

Na lagi kang pakikinggan 

Magpakailanman 

Ang isang pag-ibig 

Ay parang lansangan 

Na pang dalawahan 

Kaya't sa ating awit, 

Tayo ay magbigayan 

Ah-ha-ha, awitin mo 

At isasayaw ko, oh-ho-ho 

Ah-ha-ha, awitin mo 

At isasayaw ko 

ah-ha-ha-ha-haaa

Dayle Garlett: the new bad boy of the AFL?

HAWTHORN says it will provide the off-field support to give controversial recruit Dayle Garlett the chance to shine, but won't allow him to take any shortcuts.

The reigning premier took the biggest punt of the AFL national draft when it chose the wayward but sublimely-skilled Swan Districts player with pick 38.

Hawks' recruiting manager Graham Wright now hopes the selection will prove to be a bargain, given Garlett's undoubted talent that has often been overshadowed by erratic off-field behaviour.

"He has certainly been able to put a lot of controls around his life and from our perspective we have noticed that, and seen it," Wright said.

"We have had a lot of contact with him the last 12 months or so, even in the last two-and-a-half years back when he was eligible to be one of the 17-year-olds with GWS.

"We have followed him all the way through and we are very comfortable with the pick.

"For us, at 38, we felt it was the right pick at the right time and we were keen to give him an opportunity. Now it is what he does with that opportunity."

Wright said the 20-year-old would join Hawthorn with "a clean slate", following his AFL reprieve after he was overlooked last season.

"I think Dayle should come in with a clean slate, like every player, and should be given every opportunity," Wright said.

"We will afford him that and I know our players will as well. We have got great structures around the club."

Garlett missed a meeting with Port Adelaide in the lead-up to this year's draft, but Wright denied he had missed one with Hawthorn.

He admitted there was a risk associated with the selection, but said the Hawks had been buoyed by Garlett's more settled off-field situation.

Garlett watched the draft unfold with his girlfriend from his manager Tim Galic's office in Perth - with the Hawks contacting him soon after.

"Everyone is in agreeance that he is a super talented player, but he has got to get in and work really hard," Wright said.

"He will be expected to do everything that every player does. There will be no shortcuts for him."

Garlett kicked 45 goals from 19 games with Swan Districts this season and finished in the top 10 of the Sandover Medal.

The Hawks were also delighted - and a little surprised - to be able to secure midfielder Billy Hartung with their first selection at pick 24 after he had been touted to go earlier.

It had considered James Sicily with pick 38 used on Garlett, but was pleased he was still available at pick 56.

"We were rapt with Billy Hartung with pick 24. (He) has such a big engine, he is quick and he uses the ball well," Wright said.

"We think he will complement our group well. We rated James (Sicily) highly. He is an exciting football talent, is very strong overhead and plays that high half forward role."

Wright said the Hawks were pleased to secure some midfield talent who will hopefully take over when the club's dominant, but now ageing, midfield undergoes more change over the coming years.
