Warm and Dry (Original by Nico the Sherpa) - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jul 23, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
The lyrics are kinda more interesting than the melody, so make sure you read them... and sorry it's a bit long, couldn't bring myself to cut out anything :P. Ukie the uke felt a little left out in the last one, so I let him take center stage... remember that I can't actually sing, apologies for the harmonies... oh, and I brought in my buddies the acapella ninjas in for the ending (they incidentally can't sing either - and no, those aren't bathrobes. I swear).

So yeah. Turn up the volume! ;)

I bandage the holes set in my head, wrap them with a pair of headphones
Chase away the silence in my car, saved by my friend the radio
Riding on a crowded quiet bus, poke at my Ipod's touch screen
Let the dancing music fill my ears, carry me away and keep me...
... Warm and dry, keep me warm and dry...

Long day at school, finally home, unwind behind the TV
Together at the movies, row by row, lose ourselves in the stories
Hot summer's day, nothing to do, settle for a book to read
Let the jokes and drama fill my mind, float me away and keep me...
... Warm and dry, keep me warm and dry...

Where have all of the people gone
Try to signal from this broken lighthouse, I can't work the beacon
Staring at the cold and wet, out past my Island
Ther're no faces in the waves, I'm alone here on this rock.... (all alone)

Bring us all together playing cards, amused with the computer
I'm bored just talking here with you, let's go out and play soccer
Or we could swim, go shop, then ski, fishing; I got a lot of hobbies
So many ways to pass the time, please entertain and keep me...
... Warm and dry, keep me warm and dry...

Now why... would I be scared of you, don't you know all the things that I am
Well I can sail, I play guitar, even ace all my exams
Doesn't mean we can't be friends... just makes me more than you, see
Cause I belong in society, thanks to all of these things which keep me...
...Warm and dry, keep me warm and dry...

Where have all of the people gone
Try to signal from this broken lighthouse, I can't work the beacon
Staring at the cold and wet, out past my Island
Ther're no faces in the waves, I'm alone here on this rock... (all alone)

So now I sit here wondering how this ocean came between us
Where did we learn to fear, learn to avoid each others gazes
Cause all I see now are your masks, when I peek over my walls
And if I looked you in the eyes, tell me, would I know you at all?
(Don't know myself) Scared of the demons prowling round my brain and
Scared of all the ghosts waiting in the back alleys of memory lane but
Even though I'm too afraid to look into the mirror
Maybe you'll find me some day


Thanks for listening! Less pictures this time, sorry... the first and last ones I drew though, you can tell as they're the crappy looking ones :P
