i went to school today. sans my trusty baby-G and iPod. i felt properly undressed. my baby (G) ran out of batteries after more than 5 years of non-stop operation. and i was boasting about it in HK, the place where batteries are cheap? bloody. i feel like a doofus.

now i'm wearing the black casio my grandad bought me. the strap's too plastic. still, somethign to cover my watchmark. i used to sleep with the watch on. come on! we're talking deep human/inanimate object bonding.

ok. so following my dad's success in buying the MTV unplugged CD, which has alanis morrisette's ironic, REM's losing my religion and another bunch of kick-ass songs in it.

so i read his mark knopfler CD lyrics the other day. and i found the most future Clex song ever. he might as well have called it Smallville.

A Place Where We Used To Live

This empty kitchen's where
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame

It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live

Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live

<< the most clex song ever! >>
