more angst-y me *sigh*
don’t you just hate annie’s song “tomorrow?” i do. in fact, it’s a really stupid song, and for someone like me who can be a bit pessimistic (all right, very pessimistic! there…are you happy now?!), the song does not talk about hope…but hopelessness. so, here’s to the song of annie!
Tomorrow – Annie’s Song
The sun’ll come out, tomorrow
(yeah, i bet.)
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun!
(we bet our bottom euro, and it still freaking rained! but am taking the song way too literally right now. or maybe we really should’ve bet our bottom dollar, whachoothink? hehehe!)
Just thinking about tomorrow
(*shiver* am not yet through with today and already the song wants me to look forward to the same shit!)
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
‘Til there’s none!
(*snorts* yeah, right, it’s going to be the same shit tomorrow, you know, only a different day.)
When I’m stuck in a day
That’s gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say
(tried this. really did try this. and guess what? it’s the same shit staring right back at me!)
The sun’ll come out tomorrow
(ooopppsss…warning!…should not take this too literally!)
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow
Come what may
(what else is there left to do but to hang on, eh?)
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow!
You’re always a day away
(see?!?!??!?! tomorrow’s always a freaking day away!)
When I’m stuck in a day
That’s gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say
(rriiiiggghhhttt!!! a fat lot of good a smile can do when you have bills to pay, you know, unless you’re a commercial model for some toothpaste!)
The sun’ll come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow
Come what may
(i bet those who lent their friends some money are also singing the same song…hehehe…and praying “i hope that my friend will pay me TOMORROW” while those who have debts are praying for exactly the opposite thing! “i hope they won’t come collecting money from me TOMORROW.” and when it comes to debts though, there are way too many freaking tomorrows that accepting a promise from someone that she or he will pay you “tomorrow” will not do you any good. it’s tantamount to waiting for forever for someone to pay you back what he owes you, so don’t settle for a “tomorrow” when somebody borrows money from you, ask for a specific date! please! but then again, promising tomorrow is a HUGE advantage to those who are going to borrow some money! hahaha!)
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow
You’re always a day away
(told you so, it’s always going to be tomorrow, but tomorrow will never come, you know, ‘coz by then, tomorrow will be your TODAY and then you get stuck waiting for tomorrow to come again and again and again and again…until your eyes turn white waiting for tomorrow who’s always a day away!)
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow
You’re always a day away…
(and then you, my dear readers, will get stuck singing the same stupid song about tomorrow for the rest of the freaking day! hahaha! naway ma-LSS kamo! hahahahaha!)
but pessimism aside, everything looks better though the morning after your today. and yes, your head is clearer, and you feel somewhat more focused and ready to tackle the same shit…oh, excuse me…whatever your today has in store for you.
so, for those singing annie’s song, why don’t you sing a different song, eh? one that really brings you hope and not just the promise of tomorrow ‘coz, like annie and i love to say, tomorrow is always a day away.
oh well, back to writing about car hire for me…AGAIN!!!
