'Lisa' songs

I set forth to see what songs were written about persons that share my name, Lisa.

Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69RXBQe5RYg

"She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sadly?"

"Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa"

Ben Folds - Losing Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4HqEIxzhC0&feature=related

"The lights are off again
She took me by surprise
She's so sensitive
This sh*t just happens sometimes"

"Black tears are falling down her face
And I am wrong
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done"

"Losing Lisa, losing Lisa, losing Lisa
And there's nothing i can do"

Lonestar - Don't Let's Talk About Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zcvszDA7Bc

"There's wonderful women all over the world
I've said it again and again
But she whose name must not be spoken
Has it over all over all of them"

"Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start no, no
Don't let's talk about Lisa, please sir
Lisa broke my heart"

Weezer - Oh Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja2ZDugvkmo

"Running circles overboard
I'm wanting to, I wanna do you"

"Oh Lisa, can you love me again?
I'll be holding on to then"

"And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
I'm wanting to, I wanna do you"

Prince - Lisa
http://www.imeem.com/people/ho-QJGr/music/MePuMmh-/prince-lisa/

"Lisa, let's go to the movie
Lisa, let's go
Lisa, let's go to the village
Lisa, let's go
Tell your man, he'll understand
Lisa, let's go"

"It's alright, I don't care
Long as you know
Somwhere, some day
We'll be together"

Maths and Physics Club - La La La Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEcwJKvbI8Q

"It was 1988 at the go-go club
She was selling t-shirts at the punk rock show
I spent half the night with some clever line
Waiting at the back of the key
I lost my nerve and let the next boy through"

"She had the prettiest eyes
Painted black like her lips
I would have died for just one kiss"

"There is nobody else
How could they compare?
I don't want any other girl, oh yeah
Just Lisa. La la la Lisa"


HOW DEPRESSING.
Am I subject to the same fate as my other fellow Lisa's?
First I'm a goth girl selling t-shirts at the 'go'-go' club (La La La Lisa), then some guy wants to 'do' me over and over (Oh Lisa), then I' being tempted to cheat on my boyfriend (Lisa), then I suddenly leave my boyfriend who writes a song about it (Losing Lisa), then he can't bear to say me name and condemns my name being spoken (Don't Let's Talk About Lisa), then obviously I hear about this and become sad (Sad Lisa).

I'm feeling so low right now it's not funny. But I know i'm just being silly because these songs are just written about other Lisa's. I'm hoping one day someone will write a nice song about 'Lisa'.
Until next time, La La La Lisa.

Patrick and Karen.


If you know me, you would know I love to laugh. And I tend to laugh too much, too loud and too often. But laughing is the best medicine, hey?
Haha.
Walking with Patrick and Karen in Burwood.
Imagine us walking very closely in a line across going Patrick, Lisa, Karen.
This was the conversation we were having:
Patrick: Stop walking into me Lisa. I know you want me but geez.
Lisa: Oh you're funny, you're funny. Go die.
Half an hour later....
Patrick: Thank you, Lisa.
Lisa: What, for what?
Patrick: For making me walk into hot girls.
Lisa: Oh my goodness.
Karen: Lisa, how come you never make me walk into hot guys?
Old man walks up.
Patrick: *whispers* Oi, push her.
Karen: I heard that.
Old man walks past.
Fat highschool guys walks up.
Patrick: Now!
Karen: I heard that.
And we play this little game for the next few people including a little boy, an old man bending over and even a chubby woman.
Lisa: Ohmygosh guys, I can so imagine us walking like this like drunk hobos in the city in ten years.
Patrick: Err..
Lisa: Okay fine, three years.
Haha, I love you Patrick and Karen!!!!!

Dear "x"

Don't listen to the rumours circling school. Don't believe the crowd when they say they think I like KM.

I don't and you know I don't.

Set yourself apart from the immature boys at Fort.

You're amazing. And I think the world of you.

Lis x

kthnxbye

You can spend minutes, hours, weeks or even weeks analiysing over a situation, trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, or would've happened, or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.

Yes. Move on. Move along. Don't hold this stupid grudge.

kthnxbye.

Just wanted to say that I think you are amazing, thanks for sticking around. Thanks for just being who you are. Thank you for telling me you love me. You deserve so much more than just a blog shout-out and I want to give you everything I've got but the time just isn't right, I hope you understand. Thank you for being such a strong strong guy, and I think you are incredibly amazing. You have the ability to make people so so happy. You have really shown me the true meaning of love, and I hope that one day I could return the favour. I hope you understand that all I need right now is you by my side, a companion, a friend. We've been through the break-ups and I just think it isn't necessary. Thank you for being just who you are, 100%. I think you are amazing and I've liked you twice before and I'm bound to love you soon some day. But thank you for being such a great great friend. Thanks for letting me crash at your place, and taking over your computer. You mean heaps to me. Thanks for killing that spider on Valentine's day. You just never stop being gracious, and loving and comforting. Thanks for giving me your jumper when it was cold, for sharing your umbrella when it rained, for piggybacking me when I got tired, holding my hand when I was scared. We have been through so so much. Thank you for giving me that last stick of gum, I still remember! Thanks for calling up at 4am to "just check in" on me. Thanks for letting me use your shoulder as a pillow. Thanks for being the man in my life. I know sometimes I let you down, I let myself down, I know I have my shortcomings and I know that I will never be perfect however much I practised. Thanks for understanding that I need you, but not in that way. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for always being there. Thanks for all the amazing "yummo" sandwiches that you've made. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for making me crazy in love with you. Thanks for everything. You are bloody amazing. And finally, thanks for making it real for me. For reassuring me everyday that your love is true. That your hand is always there for me to hold. Thank you for trusting me with your heart. I promise to take care of it. One day, I'll give you mine. Thank you for understanding.

Thank you.

don't stop til it feels like woahhhh

Hey guys, sorry on the MAJOR DELAY on Olive and Dan... I'm just so lost right now but I promise to write something soon. Everytime I write something, I just erase it again because it just doesn't feel right. (So if you'd like, email me some of your storyline ideas, much appreciated :D)

Today I spent a long time just on my back at Petersham Park, watching the clouds. Watching the big adult clouds taking over the small child clouds. Watching as they merged, watching as a child one would come out of an adult one, watching as a child one grew and became a big adult one.

I think that life is a giant classroom, you can never run out of new things to learn, new things to experiment, new things to laugh at, new mistakes to make, new people to love.

And so as I was lying there on the grass, pondering and just letting my mind carry itself, I couldn't help but smile. I embraced wholly this beautiful world. With all of its imperfections and sores, it is still beautiful.

I know I am always seen as the happy girl, the lucky girl, the one who will make you smile. And I'm glad I am this girl, real glad that I have the ability to brighten up somebody's day. And the truth is I am usually happy, you can almost always me giggling and laughing and smiling.

Life is too short to be unhappy. Life is too short to live halfheartedly.

So friends, Don't stop til it feels like woahhhhhh.

Lisa. Be happy! :D

Olivia & Daniel - Part 3

"I had a really amazing time tonight," Olivia whispered to the stars. Daniel turned to her and smiled.

It was their fourth date since the bar, three weeks ago.

He had taken her to a posh restaurant the first date, an amusement park on the second, to a football match on the third and now on their fourth date, he had taken her on a picnic. And now they are sitting side by side on his picnic blanket.

He was absolutely perfect. It was not every day that you run into a man that knew about all the constellations, and the myth behind each one.

She had never had so much fun. Each time she felt that her stomach would stop hurting from the laughter, he would say something utterly ludicrous that would make her laugh out loud in uncontrollable bouts, with short gasps of air.

She was so lucky.

She turned to look at this man. This incredible man who she was extremely attracted to and believed she had so much chemistry with.

She studied his face. His skin was a light tan, the colour of caramel. His hair was a dark brown with lighter bits where the sun had kissed it. His eyes were a light brown, and his face was beautifully exotic. He is by background, Australian, Brazillian with a touch of Japanese. But he by nature, was an angel.

She looked straight into his eyes. And when she did she felt an electric shock charge through her body.

So strong, that it hurt to sit so still and so far away from him. Even though she was less than half a metre from him.

It was so strong that she almost wanted to cry.

So this is love.
________________________________________________

Daniel found himself staring into her eyes. He had been looking at the stars one moment, which he thought were beautiful. But now staring into her eyes, well frankly, it took his breath away.

He had to look away. He had to break his stare. He was not ready for love.

He looked away.

When he looked back, he saw the hurt on her face.

And he knew it. She had been shot by Cupid's merciless arrows.

And problem was, he too, felt his heart being pierced.

The first feelings of a tender love.
_______________________________________________

Olivia leaned in to kiss him. She closed her eyes and her lips slightly twitched.

He stood up abruptly and started packing away the picnic food.

"We need to get going, it looks like it might rain."

She was stunned. Never had she been rejected so outright before.

She rolled up the picnic rug and walked towards the car.
_____________________________________________

Alone in her bedroom, Olivia started to cry.

Silent tears that were only brought on by a love unrequited.
______________________________________________

Alone in his bedroom, Daniel could not fall asleep.

He could not believe what a bastard he had been.

How could he look away from a glance so filled with love? How could he silently reject a girl, whose heart he wished to obtain?

He just couldn't fall asleep on that conscience.

He took his coat, and car keys. He went to his car and turned the engine on.

He had some business left undone.
