My parents were very pleased that I was in the army. The fact that I hated it somehow pleased them even more.

So Far, So Pleased
So far, so pleased
I like the way u touch me
I like the way u tease
No car, no keys
I had 2 get us stranded
If u know what I mean
Big scar on my knee
Begging 4 a kiss is such a dull routine
Still im...
So far, so far, so far, so pleased
So far, so fine
I find another beauty mark
With every glass of red wine
So fast the time
Everytime I have to go, I go and lose my mind
Its hard, okay
Thats what happens
When a boy and girl dont get 2 play
So far, so far, so far, so pleased
(yeah)
(come on, come on)
So far, so pleased
I like the way u touch me
I like the way u tease
No car, no keys
I could spend the night and leave at 10:15
So far, so far, so far, so pleased
Ooh-ooh yeah
So far, so pleased
Oh-ooh

Everything The Others Ate Had Been Great
When will I ever write 'something' you like?
Probably never.
Since you seek to have your appetite pleased...
And I will never cater to those who player hate.
'Who said I player hated? '
You had no problem eating,
Everything I prepared and dished upon your plate.
Until someone mentioned that I was the cook.
And everything the others ate had been great.
Up until 'then' you munched and grinned.
And then when my name was mentioned...
You proceeded to whip out,
A pad and pen!
'Who said I player hated?
I just happened to have lost my appetite.
It had nothing to do with you beaming,
Or the fact you appeared to block out my light! '

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.

The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.

Commentator steams through to gold in banality final
If he really wants to win this title
he’s got to really work at it in this race:
is he hungry enough?
this is what all those years of training
have been all about:
keep to your race plan,
but remember, on the day,
anything can happen..
they’re off.. he had a good start;
now he’s pumping those legs,
pushing down with the right leg,
then the left leg hard into the ground,
then the right leg again…
He'll know that if he doesn't get the gold medal
it'll only be a silver..
he’s hurting all over now,
pumping the oxygen through his lungs,
going all out;
he’s coming through the field;
has he gone too early?
he’s got questions to answer,
this race is asking big questions of him;
he’s ahead now. He’ll be pleased with that;
if he loses now, he won’t be pleased with that;
tell the folks out there,
how pleased are you to have won?
‘fantastic – amazing – incredible - over the moon’
tell me, how sorry would you have been
if you hadn’t won?
Not a record time, but
he’ll be pleased with that;
tell me, what are your plans for twenty twelve?
now back to the studio for news of
other events like failure and stuff.

I was condemned to be beheaded, or burnt, as the king pleased; and he was graciously pleased, from the great remains of his love, to choose the mildest sentence.

I’m fortunate
To please the one you love, is a pleasure.
To be pleased by the one is much more.
To be pleased by the one whom you love,
Has no parallel. I’m fortunate from you.

Sin, death
Sin and Death, those sisters two,
Two, two,
Sat together while dawned the morning.
Sister, marry! Your house will do,
Do, do,
For me, too, was Death's warning.
Sin was wedded, and Death was pleased,
Pleased, pleased,
Danced about them the day they married;
Night came on, she the bridegroom seized,
Seized, seized,
And away with her carried.
Sin soon wakened alone to weep,
Weep, weep.
Death sat near in the dawn of morning:
Him you love, I love too and keep,
Keep, keep.
He is here, was Death's warning.

I am pleased to know that you smile.

That I am the reason behind it.

It's totally different. I usually don't tell people about the Pleased if they know me from the harp. And if they are there to see the Pleased, I usually don't tell them about the harp. I am nervous that these people will expect something similar.

Little Car
One day
A small car
Like a toy
Like a car
She didn't have a license
But wanted to be free
Young and daring
Stuck in chains
Waiting for parents to leave
Daddy going to work
Momma going to take care of sick grandma out of town
She waiting to be alone
Grabbing the keys
Driving crazy
Not harming a fly
Swaying and swawing
Not an ounce of drunk
Lack of experience
Going where she pleased
Driving illegally
Visiting friends
Going to holy holies all over
Keeping eyes for police
Then coming home
Before the fam
Hiding the car
Pretending to be bored
But really recollecting the past thrills
When the fam arrived
No one knew
Her clever secret
Then day after day
No one knew
How free she be
Going where she pleased
