we might could build jerusalem

d'un train qui roulait sur la manche
je pourrais voir l'autre côté
la côte à la falaise blanche
qui peut me rendre nouveau-né

welcome me home

le nom de cet oiseau, je veux le reconnaître
rapprends-moi, s'il te plaît, la langue maternelle
grâce au soleil hâtif, je peux revoir le hêtre
rappelle-moi, s'il te plaît, un mot plus fort que belle

Christ is risen
Matzo's flat
Pharaoh's on the Kotel
Go tell that

♫  I Should Have Known You Better ♫

You said I had high expectations, I said one date
You said it can't be now, so I said let's wait
Said you were trying to be honest, I didn't think that through
You could say I was naive to believe in you

I should have known you better, I only met you once
Turns out the rest of my life was just a mess of two months
I could have learned this lesson a few times before
I should have known you better, but you knew you more

You said you broke hearts, I thought mine would be stronger
You said I would start hating you, I thought it might take longer
You said your mama wants to meet me? Would she apologize
For having taught her pretty daughter pretty lies?

I should have known you better, I only met you once
Turns out the rest of my life was just a mess of two months
I could have learned this lesson a few times before
I should have known you better, but you knew you more

You say you want to do right, but you sound so cold
Say it could happen someday, but you sound so old
Say you're a walking disaster, I was too slow to catch
You must be brighter, you took a lighter to this match

I should have known you better, I only met you once
Turns out the rest of my life was just a mess of two months
I could have learned this lesson a few times before
I should have known you better, but you knew you more

We never flew to Kansas, to see the biggest ball of string
To see a bigger red flag, we'd have to fly to Beijing
Still gonna send those roses, cause my phone don't ring
Still wanna freeze that cake, you still make me sing

You should know me better, you only met me once
It's just the rest of our lives, it's just a thousand months
I could learn your lesson a thousand times again
We should know us better, we should see us when

i just don't feel the same as you

I just don't feel the same as you
My love, there never will be such
Emotions never did go Dutch
Odd numbers don't divide in two

You're not the first I've been into
But I have never felt this much
I just don't feel the same as you
My love - there never will be such

There never will be someone new
I'll go alone or with a crutch
I never could replace your touch
You were the best that I could do
I just don't feel the same as you

significant others

We cluster, Xu and ξ
Our κ's consistently high
Bad νs for a hater
But we (who know β)
Are as transcendental as π
