I think I've got a problem.

Ok, maybe more than one problem. Recently, I can't listen to a song without taking the lyrics really seriously....

1. 'Runaway' - 'I would runaway with you' - Ok super, that's lovely and everything, but where are we going? Because I'm fine if it's Germany or somewhere European, but what if it's China? What if we're running away to China?!?!?!
2. In 'Spiralling' I can't help but answer out loud the questions posed to me in the song...
Did you wanna be a winner? - Depends what in?
Did you wanna be an icon? - Sort of
Did you wanna be famous? - Not really
Did you wanna be the president? - That would mean I'd have to remove the Monarchy, that would be difficult/pointless.
Did you wanna start a war? - I have done.
Did you wanna have a family? - Nope.
Did you wanna be in love? - Is that even my choice?
3. 'Why does it always rain on me?'
'Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?' - I don't see how that would affect precipitation levels.
'Why does it always rain on me?' -I don't know, stop asking me that, maybe because you're from Glasgow?
4. I don't like song titles which tell me what/what not to do...
'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' - I'm not
'Pretend That You're Alone' - Why??
'Put it behind you' - What? And again WHY TOM CHAPLIN??? WHY?!?!???!
'Would you be happier?' - If what....?
5. And finally... WHAT THE FUCK'S A WONDERWALL?!?

I am aware that quite a few of my blog posts are just lists these days. I apologise. I think I might do a more constructive post later this evening, but for now it's time to draw up contingency plans, write and then download a demo.

Tom,
P.S: MINESWEEPER THE MOVIE
