Sticky Tape of Love

I've been bumming around recently since I've been laid off at work (no biggie, I'm just waiting for a higher calling) and I started watching videos of my favourite "band", Flight of the Conchords again on youtube.

If you listen carefully to their lyrics of their songs, you would find meaningful words below all the witty humour mixed in with it. I've hardly come across a musical group that produces music like they do. Here's one of my all time favourite songs:



Lives are like retractable pencils
If you push them too hard they're gonna break
And people are like paper dolls
Paper dolls and people, they're a similar shape
Hmm hmm hm
Love is like a roll of tape
It's real good for making two things one
But just like that roll of tape
Love sometimes breaks off before you were done
Another way that love is similar to tape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes it's hard to see the end
You search on the roll
(search on the roll)
Search on the roll
(searching round the roll)
Search on the roll
(search)
With your fingernail
Again and again
And again and again
And again.
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff.
People people Chorus: Brown paper, white paper
Paper paper Stick it together with tape
Paper paper The tape of love
People people
People people
Pencil pencil
Pencil pencil
Paper paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sello tape
Oh baby baby
Yeah
You know, Jemaine, I've been thinking about love. And I guess it's the very stron-
gest adhesive.
Oh sorry, Bret. Were you talking to me? I was humming. What did you say?
Oh, just...nothing.
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff
Yeah
Ooh brown
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
Say it
Sticky
Stick stick
Stick it together
Ye-yeah


Awesome aren't they? Especially's Jermaine's "People people, paper paper..." part. I'm sure you'll like their other videos too. You should go check them out. Sadly, I heard that their programme has been discontinued on HBO. Boo!

Anyway wish I could go cycling again at ECP and just sit and chill. Wouldn't you? Let the waves roll away all our problems and stress! Haha I'm all ready for it, just ring me up anytime. Don't worry, I don't bite.

And now, back to my report!
