This is perhaps the most famouse song by the Mutton Birds - Anchor Me. Enjoy^^
Anchor Me
Full fathom fire
Some day I'll light
Singing songs that come
From dead mans' tounges
Anchor me, anchor me
As the compass turns
And the glass it falls
And the storm clouds roll
And the gulls' they call
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
(Chorus)
Anchor me,
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
Let the salt spray lash
On the shivering skin
Where the green waves crash
And the whirlpools spin
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
(Chorus)
Where the basnhee's cry
And the bells they sound
When you lift me high
When you pull me down (x3)
(Chorus)
Anchor (anchor me in the middle of your deep blue sea)
Me (anchor me in the middle of your deep blue sea)
Anchor me (in the middle of your deep blue sea)
In the middle of your deep blue sea (anchor me)
Your deep blue sea (anchor me in the middle of your deep blue sea)
In the middle of your deep blue sea (anchor me)
Your deep blue sea (anchor me in the middle of yout deep blue sea)
Anchor me Anchor me, anchor me
Anchor me, anchor me

Dominion Road
This song hold a special place in my heart because I lived on or close to Dominion Road for 2 1/2 years from 2003 - 2005.
Lyrics
Dominion Road is bending
Under its own weight
Shining like a strip
Cut from a sheet metal plate
'Cos its just been raining
Jane reached the point where she knew
What it meant before he opened his mouth
He couldn't say them same
Or he'd have guessed she was moving south
Wanna to be friends
But its getting better now
He found it in him to forgive
He walked the city
And he found a place to live
In a halfway house
Halfway down Dominion Road
As he watched Jane's Brother sell the house
He felt no sense of loss
More like a mountain climber
Looking back having made it across
The steepest face
But he's still climbing
See him trying to cross the street
He checks his footing
Like he was up ten thousand feet
Above the the clouds
Halfway down Dominion Road
But its getting better now
He rests his head on the window sill
He watches the city
See the antennas in the hills
From a halfway house
Halfway down Dominion Road
Halfway Down
Halfway Down
Halfway Down Dominion Road
Halfway Down
Halfway Down
Halfway Down Dominion Road
Dominion Road
Lyrics

Nature Enter Me...
I like this song, it reminds me of Autumn. It is by a New Zealand bank called the Mutton Birds and you can listen to the song on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0G-8V4nCpc
Through falling leaves
I pick my way slowly
Talking aloud
Eases my my mind
Sunlight filters through
I feel my head is drifting
So full of thoughts
I've thought of
What am i gonna do
I need some thoughts that are new
Do do do do dodo dodooo
Do do do dodo dooo
Do do dit do do do ditdo dooo
Nature into me!
Up in a tree
A bird sings so sweetly
Nature's own voice
I hear
Rustling rustling leaves
Turning breeze to speech
Call to me now
Ease my mind
I'll turn something new
Minds layed with dew
Do do do do dodo dodooo
Do do do dodo dooo
Do do do do do do ditdo dooo
Nature into me! (Yeah!)
I'll turn something new
Minds layed with dew
Do do do do dodo dodooo
Do do do dodo dooo
Do do do do do do ditdo dooo
Nature into me! (Yeah!)
Do do do do dodo dodooo
Do do do dodo dooo
Do do do do do do ditdo dooo
Through falling leaves
I pick my way slowly
Talking aloud
Eases my my mind
Sunlight filters through
I feel my head is drifting
So full of thoughts
I've thought of
What am i gonna do
I need some thoughts that are new
Do do do do dodo dodooo
Do do do dodo dooo
Do do dit do do do ditdo dooo
Nature into me!
Up in a tree
A bird sings so sweetly
Nature's own voice

Rustling rustling leaves
Turning breeze to speech
Call to me now
Ease my mind

Welcome to 2008!
It is 2008 already and another year of study and work have started for mea gain. I have been getting through alot of work recently with good success both in teaching and study.
Um, I have also moved into a "oneroom" apartment close to university which will hopefully be better for my study and work because it is so convenient. It is a little expensive though>_<
Korean school is going great and I have a new teacher this year Mr Han who was a Korean Professor in Korea before coming to NZ so his teaching is really great. We have to do a speech next month about "If I lived in Korea..." so I am thinking about that topic now.
I am also learning some Japanese from on of my collegues, Junko, for whom I edit the English in some of her assignments. They have such a complicated writing system it might take me a while though!
Finally, my health is good and I am still a vegetarian - have been for over 18 months now! Most people cannot tell though because I am not skinny and I don't care about animals too much which is because I am a vegetarian for health reasons not for religious or ethical ones.
New Zealand has an election this year coming up and as one of my hobbies is politics these days I have written a Constitution for New Zealand which I have posted on the Internet. It was one of those things that i had to get written down before my head exploded with ideas. The site is www.nzconstitution.weebly.com
My younger brother Liam and his wife Melissa are moving down to Hamilton next month after living in Auckland for nearly 8 years. And my older sister Bernadette and her boyfriend Richard are looking at returning to NZ in September after nearly 4 years away in England. They of course will take more than 3 months to return by going slowly through Africa and any other part of the world they hevent already seen in their "Great Race".
I will give you another update soon after I stop procrastinating and get some work done on my latest linguistics assignment!
