I fell in love with Neil's pain. We were in this cocoon of intensity. Neil and I were uniquely in the same position at the same time, having overwhelming success facing us.

In Denial
Written: tennat/ lowe
Feat. pet shop boys
Neil:
In denial
No, my lifes a trial
Im not denying that every little bit hurts
Its a problem, that Im not solving
Dont mind admitting I feel like quitting this job
For a while, getting away before it gets any worse today
Kylie:
Your in denial, and that is final
Your not admitting, you should be quitting
All these queens and fairies, and muscle marys
The rough trade boyfriend, who in his pathetic own way denies he gay
Why cant he see this is a fantasy
Neil:
I think Im going mad
Howd you know if your going mad?
Kylie:
Look at me Im lonely
Neil:
Look at me Im sad
Im not denying, I could be trying, a little harder
To deal with some of this stuff
Kylie:
Know what Im thinking, less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes, and youll feel a little less worth
Neil:
Is that enough? my life is absurd
Im living it upside down
Like a vampire working at night, sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows hes gay
Both:
Can you love me anyway?

Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young.

You know, Neil Young is singing Rock n' roll will never die, and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him.

How do I explain Neil Young? Great question! I explain Neil Young as, I would kill to see his acoustic shows.
Demoegypt
Neil witnessed quietly,
Thirty years of tears,
Rolled on the cheeks of slimming egyptian,
Mobarak's silos were balooned fearlessly,
....Tahreer square gathered those tears.
And meditated eighteen days......
Neil overflowed and washed,
The dirty palace of cairo......
Sky touched the ground, below the horizon..
Fattening mobarak bursted so mean....
I salute thy victory,
Victory for democracy,
O egyptian, O bravo.
Peace be upon you...
You have done what you supposed to do..
Once again egypt is young,
Neil is messaging to all,
All to breathe humanity....

The Dunblane Diamond with racquet in hand, Cuts a swarthy, dashing figure across the land, The best of British, that much is true, but never a Grand Slam Champion, one of the special few. Despair turned to delight however this year, As Andy overcame his demons, Djokovic and own inner fear, Glory was his after a tense 5 hour fight. As he fell to his knees, such a beautiful sight. The sands of time no longer chime, as Andy will be remembered as a slam champion for all time, no more pain, sorrow or pangs of regret, Just a heartwarming feeling with each victorious set. We have taken the good and the bad times with equal measure, But to his millions of fans, Andy Murray is truly a national treasure

Reality Check
‘Hey Diddle Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon...’
So what did Neil Armstrong find?
When he walked on the moon?
Cow bones! Asphyxiation! No oxygen!
The cow died!
News flash!
A discovery of lunar proportions!
What you never heard?
Must be...?
Another conspiracy theory...

A Brief Way To Achieve Success Sure!
Without work nothing can be done;
Without knowing, no work can be done.
All developments depend on work;
No work can be done without pain!
For, there can’t be gain without pain.
Pleasure can’t be enjoyed without pain;
Pain is the first step to pleasure ever.
Trekking the mountain starts with jerks;
Careful steps to the top lead to success;
Success is the top peak of the mountain.
Maintaining top level is next work;
Without maintaining top position
Success cannot be retained forever.
This is the story to achieve success sure!

Neil Armstrong-The Astronaut
Wright brothers first started the race,
Then was launched the Sputnik in space.
Twelve years later in the year 1969,
Man set foot on the distant moon—so fine.
Astronaut Neil Armstrong in space craft
Apollo-11 with co-pilot Edwin E.Aldrin were aloft
In space, and victoriously landed on the moon,
Steering their lunar landing craft ‘Eagle', soon.
On the moon near the ‘Sea of Tranquility'
They printed their foot-steps for eternity.
The first person was Neil Armstrong,
To step on moon, and his words, us throng—
"That's one small step for(a) man—
One giant leap for mankind."
His simple sentence was a corrasion,
Above the Earth's national divisions and dissensions
For more than two hours was the moon-walk mirth,
Where the gravity is one sixth that of the Earth.
This Apollo—11 mission successfully made,
Capped a disarrayed and consequential decade.
Back home, Neil Armstrong was in his business,
And in his academia he found good success.
He was remarkable in his vocation,
And who with lot of proud served the nation.
We are now very heart-broken to hear,
That at eighty two he is no more here.

World War II had been such a tremendous success story for this country that the political and military leadership began to assume that they would prevail simply because of who they were. We were like the British at the turn of the 19th century.

Last Man On The Moon
I just can't seem to concentrate today
It seems my mind is wandering away
And all the things swimming through my head
Fade away as I go back to bed.
And I close my eyes
And see how fast time flies
'Cause sunrise comes too soon.
I'm never out of bed before noon
Waking up too late seems too soon
And I could never be Neil Armstrong
I'd be the last man on the moon
I used to live in a world of black and white
Until my dreams turned day into night
And now I'm never out of bed before noon
Waking up too late seems too soon
I close my eyes
And wait for the surprise
In a place I know I belong
In my head I can do no wrong
I could never be Neil Armstrong
I'd be the last man on the moon
