So surprisingly, Paul's new album last year wasn't bad really. I picked it up on Black Friday in Colorado for 7.99. (Along with 24 season 2 and 3 for 20 a piece)

The image of "riding to vanity fair." Vanity Fair being: "A place or scene of ostentation or empty, idle amusement and frivolity." Also a magazine (haha).

This is one of those songs that really has a good kick. "So bitter," a girl at the "Volunteen" program I used to be a part of said. :-p hah. I also enjoyed the tracks "At the Mercy" and "How Kind of You".

Congress in 3 days! yeah!

I bit my tongue
I never talked too much, I tried to be so strong
I did my best,
I used the gentle touch, I've done it for so long.
You put me down
but I can laugh it off and act like nothing's wrong
But why pretend
I think I've heard enough of your familar song

I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'll try to take my mind off you
and now that you don't need my help
I'll use the time to think about myself..

You're not aware of what you put me through
but now the feeling's gone
but I don't mind, do what you have to do
you don't fool anyone

I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'll take a different point of view
now that you don't need my help
I'll use the time to think about myself

the definition of friendship
apparently ought to be showing support for the one that you love
and I was open to friendship, but you didn't seem to have any to spare
while you were riding to vanity fair

There was a time when every day was young, the sun would always shine
we sang along when all the songs were sung believing every line

du du du du du du du
du duu du du du du du

That's the trouble with Friendship
for someone to feel it, it has to be real or it wouldn't be right
and I keep hoping for friendship
but I wouldn't dare to presume it was there. * * *
While you were riding to vanity fair.

While you were riding to Vanity Fair

While you were riding to Vanity Faaiiirrr
