(no subject)

I have just been forced to watch some bits of MOULIN ROUGE, the movie. I hated it before I ever saw any, and the pieces I have seen have done nothing but make me loathe it. It is absolutely the opposite of anything I want to see in films, not to mention wrecking one of my favourite songs. (I loathe Elton John, but one has to concede that he wrote some damn good songs, and none better than "A song for you".)

I've never seen Moulin Rouge or had the urge to see it. However, I found myself compelled to locate a recording of "A Song for You" purely out of curiosity and wasn't able to find it by Elton John. I did, however, find a recording by the Carpenters. Maybe it was a remake?

Sorry, I was writing this on a spurt of anger and got the title wrong. It is "Your song."
So excuse my forgetting,
But these things I do -
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue.
Anyway, the thing is,
Whatever they're in,
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It may be quite simple but,
now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
If i tell everyone
How wonderful life is
When you're in the world.

Pretty sure I've got a couple of lines wrong there, too.

aha! The lyrics to "Your Song" are much better than the other, as well. Sorry for changing the subject. ;) lol
