I wish I was a Punk Rocker

Beautiful words by Sandi Thom... damn I missed the happening era of 60s and 70s :(

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Garden of life

If you are taking the walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river the reflections of me

Just for a moment struggle for life has ended
In a moment another has begun
If you walk ahead you will see rainbow with colors
And Another step dried pond with dead leaves

Then you are stuck with the choices to make
Wandering at the crossway of the garden
You listen to the voices echoing in the mind
And follow the heart to wherever it says

Sometimes you are strangled by the branches
Sometimes you are stuck in the muddy patches
With the sun getting down fast, you have to run past the bridges
Then you run, run and run

Trying to catch a glimpse of the sun drowning in the ocean
And then you think you are almost there
Yes, there you can watch it sinking
Yes, you run faster and faster
You think, Almost there, dont go away too fast,
Yes, a moment away from it.. And then

You wake up!!

Life is always brighter on the other side!

Pretty much fucked up!
