Another year better

Well it looks like another B.E.A.Utiful start to another day out there; and what's more, it's Friday Eve already! I know I'm now another year older, (no wiser of course) and I realise time does appear to pass more quickly the older we get, but this week's been redonkulous. 

Mind you, I also think time may seem to pass quicker, because of our attitude towards it. When we're young, we see our lives stretching out in front of us, and we think we have all the time in the world to experience what it may throw our way. Then as we get older, we become more and more aware of our own mortality, and just how precious life is. 

Now that might sound all doom and gloomy, but it's really not! I think it actually means we appreciate our lives a little more, it means we become more aware of what's important. Which also means, we are less likely to accept any crap that life may try to hurl at us that it tries to get to stick. So if anything the older we get, the freer we feel. 

So really the ageing process, is just the process of working out how to best spend our lives, recognising how important it is, and knowing what matters most.
Do look after yourselves, and each other.

#INCURRED CRIMES



Everybody listen up
Everybody listen up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Robin Thicke]
If you recognise, what I'm trying to sing
If you think you’ve heard, the very same thing
Maybe you’re going deaf,
Maybe you’re going blind,
Maybe you’re out of your mind
[Pharrell:] Everybody listen up

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
OK I know it’s close, I tried to duplicate ya
But it’s subliminal, not meant to counterfeit ya
Just let me imitate ya
Hey, hey, hey
I signed no legal papers
Hey, hey, hey
Marvin’s the rythm maker

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
And that's why I'm gon' take a good tune
You know you know it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you buy it
Cos it’s a good tune
Couldn’t let it get past me
Court heard my lame plea
Then paid the big fee
Now I’ve incurred crimes
I knew you’d want it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you’d buy it
But it’s a good tune
The song just grabbed me
Now I’m Mister Nasty
Go ahead, just sue me
[Pharrell:] Everybody listen up

[Verse 2: Robin Thicke]
What did I make them schemes for?
They ended in the courtroom
What did I choose this theme for?
Wanted to get rich so hide my face!
Feel so unlucky
Hey, hey, hey
Want you to hug me
Hey, hey, hey
Not try to mug me?
Hey, hey, hey

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
OK I know it’s close, I tried to duplicate ya
But it’s subliminal, not meant to counterfeit ya
Just let me imitate ya
Hey, hey, hey
I signed no legal papers
Hey, hey, hey
Marvin’s the rythm maker
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
And that's why I'm gon' take a good tune
I knew you’d want it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you buy it
Cos it’s a good tune
Couldn’t let it get past me
Court heard my lame plea
Then paid the big fee
[Pharrell:] Everybody listen up
Now I’ve incurred crimes
I knew you’d want it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you buy it
But it’s a good tune
The song just grabbed me
Now I’m Mister Nasty
Go ahead, just sue me

[Verse 3: T.I.]
One thing I shoulda asked of you
You shoulda been the ones that I answered to
Nona, and Marvin, and Frankie too
Yeah, his name’s Thicke, but it’s his nature too
So ya picked us up when ought to do
hit me with something big enough to tear our cheque in two
You won, and we tried to act casual
but really it was almost unbearable
Been dead for years not dare, would I
Pull a fast one and let it pass us by
Nothing like Give it Up, it’s too square for you
We got rude and crass and used naked girls and that
So you’d watch and wait for you to salute
But we didn't trick
Now ya’ll jeerin’ can’t refute this hearin'
We’re all nice guys, but didn't get away with it.

[Bridge: Robin Thicke]
Checked the vibe,
Went down,
Fess up
Did I wanna get hurt, like it hurt?
But ya didn’t like my work?

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
Baby I can’t breathe, from this tune I made ya
I thought it worked for me, now I’m here to tell ya, uh huh
No more pretending
Hey, hey, hey
Court case you’re winning
Hey, hey, hey
There’s no more spinning

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
I always wanted a good tune
(Pharrell: Everybody listen up)
I knew you’d want it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you buy it
Cos it’s a good tune
Couldn’t let it get past me
Court heard my lame plea
Then paid the big fee
Now I’ve incurred crimes
(Pharrell: Everybody listen up)
I knew you’d want it
I knew you’d like it
I knew you buy it
But it’s a good tune
The song just grabbed me
Now I’m Mister Nasty
Go ahead, just sue me

[Outro: Pharrell]
Everybody paid up
Everybody paid up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
