Let’s Do The Things We Normally Do

January 31, 2009

Saw this one on TV before I heard it.. A first.. anyways…really liked the video as well as the lyrics… and dido’s voice rocks as usual :)


Let’s Do The Things We Normally Do

Let’s pretend that we’ll be here tomorrow
And I’ll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you’ve let me down
But you haven’t and it’s hard to talk with people all around

Please don’t say how proud you are
Lets do the things we normally do
I’ll say see you later
You’ll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don’t hold my hand for longer than you need to

Lets forget that we’re here and make some plans
We’ll go for walks
Sit on the bench we always sat
I’ll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
Don’t try to stay awake
I’m feeling tired too

This is just another day
Let’s do the things we normally do

I’ll say see you later you’ll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don’t hold my hand for longer than you need to

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons
And everybody’s stood behind
The man behind the wire
There’s a fight to love
A fight to have
Your bed’s a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away

Let’s do the things we normally do
I’ll say see you later you’ll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don’t hold my hand for longer than you need to

Don’t look me in the eye more than you need to

Don’t try to say goodbye if I don’t want to
Don’t say how proud you are
And say I’m far away
and take along your
and say a word
and I can say fade away

Snippets of information/advice:

  • Most Nepalis hate Indians…especially those that try to bargain
  • 80% of Nepali economy depends on tourism
  • Manisha Koirala doesn’t get too many roles lately because she smokes and drinks…. (part of our guide’s speech ;) )
  • Its nothing great for 40 odd people to alight from a single compartment local train in mumbai with huge bags and luggage in 3-4 seconds. :P (felt like we had achieved the impossible though )
  • Listen to doctor Tejasee and don’t cover yourself too much. The more u try to snuggle, the more cold you’ll feel :p
  • Don’t go for elephant safaris in Chitwan. You get to see elephants getting tortured.
  • Don’t tell Melissa ( featured in the 2nd photograph) you are going to click a snap. She can’t help smiling :)
  • All waiters in all hotels call you their sister ( yet flirt with you)
  • All faces at the Gateway Of India are turned away from the Gateway. They are all looking at the Taj hotel.
  • Shut your mouths in U.P.
  • Learn to adjust. Learn to enjoy in any situation. Learn to wait patiently for food and hot water. Dont be a baby (unless you want the attention of the chivalrous guys ;) )
  • Time with friends is always fun-time. Enjoy it while you can :) :)

Lessons from Alice – III

January 5, 2009

“… I wish I hadn’t cried so much!” Said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.”I shall be punished, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! That will be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer today…”

by Lewis Carrol
