That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you ,And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no, I've said too much,I haven't said enough, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought I saw you try.
But that was just a dream, That was just a dream, But that was just a dream, Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream ,Just a dream, just a dream, Dream

here's some more. what the fuck is wrong with australians?
| quote: |
BOUNCERS kicked a man out of a Cairns pub after paranoid patrons complained that he was reading a book called The Unknown Terrorist.
Melbourne teacher Michael Chalk, who was in Cairns for an education conference, left the novel on a ledge at Shenannigans to go and dance.
But he was stunned when a bouncer approached him on the dance floor and escorted him outside.
The main character of The Unknown Terrorist, a bestseller by Australian novelist Richard Flanagan, is mistaken for a terrorist and subjected to a witch hunt of paranoia and false perceptions.
"It was my last night in Cairns so after dinner I walked into Shenannigans and decided to have a bit of a dance," Mr Chalk, 40, said.
"I put the book face up on a ledge near the dance floor. Shortly after, a security guard came over to me and said ‘move to the front please sir’.
"I hadn’t even bought a drink yet so I asked why, and he said he’d explain outside. We were on the footpath and he said several customers had complained about the literature I was reading, and I’d have to move on.
"I was absolutely flabbergasted."
Mr Chalk believed his olive skin and dark hair may have been a factor in his removal, particularly when connected with the title of the book.
"I found it quite distressing and I did feel a little bit scared," he said.
"I was wondering whether I’m in a place where everyone is in the grip of fear where they see danger everywhere, or the sort of place where a vigilante group might hunt me down for reading a book."
Flanagan, who also wrote The Sound of One Hand Clapping, said he was appalled by the pub’s actions.
"When the paranoia in our society has reached this level of idiocy, when you can be thrown out of a bar because of a book cover," he said.
Shenannigans' manager did not deny Mr Chalk was ejected but declined to comment. |
