Hey There Delilah

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah




Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Wait For You

Elliott Yamin Wait For You
(C) 2007 Hickory Records (more)





Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me

Don’t leave me crying

Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
handled all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

Crucial 5 minutes

Read and take notes!!!!!!



Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life.



Crucial



Because of recent abductions



in daylight hours,refresh yourself



of these things to do



in an emergency situation...



This is for you,



and for you to share



with your wife,



your children,



everyone you know.



After reading these 9 crucial tips ,



forward them to someone you care about.



It never hurts to be careful



in this crazy world we live in.

1 Tip from Tae Kwon Do :



The elbow



is the strongest point



on your body.



If you are close enough to use it,



do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide



in New Orleans



If a robber asks



for your wallet and/or purse,



DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM



Toss it away from you....



chances are



that he is more interested



in your wallet and/or purse



than you,



and he will go



for the wallet/purse.



RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!


3. If you are ever thrown



into the trunk of a car,



kick out the back tail lights



and stick your arm out the hole



and start waving like crazy.



The driver won't see you,



but everybody else will.



This has saved lives.


4. Women have a tendency



to get into their cars after shopping,



eating, working, etc.,



and just sit (doing their checkbook,



or making a list, etc.



DON'T DO THIS!)



The predator



will be watching you,



and this is the perfect opportunity



for him to get in



on the passenger side,



put a gun to your head,



and tell you where to go.



AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,



LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone



is in the car



with a gun



to your head



DO NOT DRIVE OFF,



repeat:



DO NOT DRIVE OFF!



Instead gun the engine



and speed into anything,



wrecking the car.



Your Air Bag will save you.



If the person is



in the back seat



they will get the worst of it .



As soon as the car crashes



bail out and run.



It is better than having them



find your body



in a remote location.

5 A few notes about getting



into your car in a parking lot,



or parking garage:



A.) Be aware:



look around you,



look into your car,



at the passenger side floor ,



and in the back seat



B..) If you are parked next to a big van,



enter your car from the passenger door .



Most serial killers attack their victims



by pulling them into their vans



while the women are attempting



to get into their cars.



C..) Look at the car



parked on the driver's side



of your vehicle,



and the passenger side.



If a male is sitting alone



in the seat nearest your car,



you may want to walk back



into the mall, or work,



and get a guard/policeman



to walk you back out.



IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)


6. ALWAYS



take the elevator



instead of the stairs.



(Stairwells are horrible places



to be alone



and the perfect crime spot.



This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun



and you are not under his control,



ALWAYS RUN!



The predator will only hit you



(a running target)



4 in 100 times;



And even then,



it most likely



WILL NOT



be a vital organ.



RUN,



Preferably !



in a zig -zag pattern!




8. As women,



we are always trying



to be sympathetic:



STOP !



It may get you raped,



or killed.



Ted Bundy,



the serial killer,



was a good-looking,



well educated man,



who ALWAYS played



on the sympathies



of unsuspecting women.



He walked with a cane,



or a limp,



and often asked



"for help"



into his vehicle



or with his vehicle,



which is when he abducted
his next victim.

9 Words Women Use

9 Words Women Use

1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.
4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)
6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying SCREW YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

Max Headroom



Actor Matt Frewer's actions are translated onscreen into those of his avatar, talk show host Max Headroom. Max was the first virtual celebrity.

Max Headroom is the name of a fictional artificial intelligence, known for his surreal wit and a stuttering, distorted, electronically sampled delivery. The character was created by Peter Wagg, Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton and performed by Matt Frewer.

The Max Headroom character originated in 1985 as an announcer for a music video programme on the British television channel, Channel 4, called The Max Talking Headroom Show. The intent was to portray a futuristic computer-generated character. Max Headroom appeared as a stylized head on TV against harsh primary color rotating-line backgrounds, and he became well known for his jerky techno-stuttering speech, wisecracks, and malapropisms ("Like they say when you're buying suppositories, 'With friends like that, who needs enemas?'").

The Karl Lorimar Max Headroom Sweepstakes



Production notes

Notwithstanding the publicity for the character, the real image of Max was not computer generated. 3-D rendering and computing technology in the mid-1980s was not sufficiently advanced for a full-motion, voice-synched human head to be practical for a television series. Max's image was actually that of actor Matt Frewer in latex and foam rubber prosthetic makeup with a fibreglass suit, superimposed over a moving geometric background. (Even the background was not actual computer graphics at first; it was hand-drawn cel animation like the "computer-generated" animations in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series. Later in the U.S. version they were actually generated by a Commodore Amiga computer.) But when these things were combined with clever editing, the appearance of a computer-generated human head was convincing to many.
