Get me a way from here i'm ...

Ryan. or at least that's the words I sometimes sing.

I got to thinking today, it being the first day back to uni and all (catcher in the rye), about how it is pretty much 4 years to the day since I went back into full time education after spending about 7/8 years on cold building sites.

When i started out I had know idea how it would go, where it would lead or if I even had the capabilities. But it has honestly been one of the best decisions of my life.

Around this time I had just started listening to Belle & Sebastian's - If your feeling sinister album and it is still one of my favorites.

Get me away from here I'm dying (in the metaphorical sense)

"Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"

P.S this is Jill and I's failed attempt at a "Scotland the world over" (Dont ask)
