Usain Bolt song Olympics Beijing 2008 world record 100m and 200m

HI!

Well as most of you possibly noticed, last week’s song did not arrive on time.
Let’s just say, that I had alot of technical difficulties…

Anyway here it is.
The track was inspired by the übercool Nurse Dee, who introduced me to the verb ‘cutting’ - in the sense of someting having an edge. I promised to make the term the prime subject of the following song, and here I deliver. Having in mind the mild controversy following olympic champion Usain Bolt and his choice of NOT congratulating his fellow runners after the final in which he set his second world record at these games.

Who cares about how he behaves? He runs faster than you!

Interesting fact: Mrs. Gun aka Captain Woman is on the vocals of the first verse. Apparently my bid was a bit on the false side - too much for proff. taste.

Coming up is exciting new guest appearances and a ph.d. about yours truly.
Hopefully the podcast feature will also be available soon - as the newsletter.

Tonight I’m Cutting

Bigger, better, faster, more
ruder, taller, prettier
biggot, killer, master, whore
fridge, cooler, wittier

Pompous, service, galant, delight
legs, lines, television
fixture, mortgage, ambition, foresight
anger, happier, alien

There’s truth in any kind of measuring of the weather
Look ’round the corner there is always someone better
In God you trust to be a healthy happy athlete
And when you win you sign the contract for cash
Hands down.

Tonight I’m going through the wall
Tonight I’m cutting
Tonight I’m leaping for the fall
Tonight I’m running

So we’re connecting with the game of setting standards
You either win or loose – or get a slander.
Who cares ’bout who’s outside the walls of coloseum
Compress the wound, lie down. Pretend you’re home.
Fall down.

Tonight I’m going through the wall
Tonight I’m cutting
Tonight I’m leaping for the fall
Tonight I’m running

Olympics Beijing 2008 Fireworks
Good Evening!

Did you watch the grand opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing a few days ago?
Wheeeeew! What a masterpiece conglomerate of fascinating culture and cheesy artwork.
And the chinese government even controlled the weather - on top of everything else in China.
- But I must admit, I love the exstremely tight coordinated events of the opening. The happenings with hundreds of people doing the same. Wow.

This week’s song is about just that. It’s about being an individual in a massive crowd. Like in China I guess.
The value of the individual is not of greatest importance in China - so we hear. But that’s the beauty of a millitary parade isn’t it? Admit it - you like it!

The Last Spark

As the head is going back, prepare for a heart attack
Follow the dots as you wait for it to end
Good luck and break a leg - we’re about to undertake
Something that someone will never forget

So here I go, I’m alive and the stars are butterflies
Look at me as I fly from the world
I will say goodbye, but my light will never end
As I am the last spark to leave the stadium

So go to sleep and dream of me. I’ll be home finally.
Going to a place where the lights are strong
I will steal my way out of here and into the atmosphere
Out to the stars, where I belong

So here I go, I’m alive and the stars are butterflies
Look at me as I fly from the world
I will say goodbye, but my light will never end
As I am the last spark to leave the stadium
