For the eastern eyes of a life reborn When the western skies of a broken dawn In the first embrace of a haunted smile With the hopeful eyes of an alien child I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand From the half-light to the day I have come to find my way I have come to find my way In the burning sheets of a neighbor's pain With the sweat of a night and the summer rain In the cry of birth and the death of fear For the hope of a light and the joy of tears I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand From the half-light to the day I have come to find my way I have come to find my way From the tainted screen of a surgeon mind From the tear-stained face of a haunted kind From the shade of death and the flame of life From the [unverified] blade of a surgeon's knife I was taken by the hand from the ocean to the sand From the half-light to the day I have come to find my way I have come to find my way Eastern, eastern eyes, your eyes For these eastern, eastern, eastern, eastern eyes For these eastern, eastern eyes For these eastern eyes Eastern eyes, eastern eyes, eastern eyes Eastern, eastern, eastern eyes Eastern, eastern, eastern eyes Eastern, eastern eyes ---- also from Nitin Sawhney's Human Album

Lately, lately I've seen you in your dream Lost in a clouded mind Held down by all the things that seem so real The world you can't leave behind You've made all of the money you could spens You're begging for something more Behind the prison tou call your home my friends The light in the endless dark Lately, you've followed your fears under the bed And fell for a hundred years Into the arms of a wounded melody The promise that love's still here You held a cynical world like God's bruised fruit Chopped from a sacred tree It's us, the enemy we fought all these years The stories of you and me So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life Forgoing the sweetest view There's a buzz like a lightbulb up to our ears Promise that love's still here Retrace the steps in the snow to find your friend 'Cause the child had melt so fast Big dreams, the future you taste on summer's time Having it just won't last Right here, we've all got the answer in our heart If we could just let that go Lifetimes of beautiful sunday church bell girls The junkies upon the floor So we hurry, go faster and faster to find that we've ran our whole life Forgoing the sweetest view We could argue forever and ever, be clear Promise that love's still here If forever and ever and ever we find that we've ran our whole life Forgoing the sacred view There's a buzz like a lightbuld up to our ears Promise that love's still here The promise that love's still here The promise that love's still here The promise that love's still here ----- another classic from Nitin's Human Album

"Another speaker was Mr Enoch Powell who was sacked from the shadow cabinet earlier this year, for his extreme and publicly stated views on immigration." ".. one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character." I knew you needed a friend. I knew you needed some blue skies. You need some laughter again, Til magic returns to your blue eyes. You're lost in the circle of pain. Where's it all going? Each day is the same, Where are you going? Say hello. Say hello. You're never alone. Something inside of yourself, When darkness approaches, your silence. Freedom's forgotten her name. Nothing makes sense you don't complain. Everything started to fall. Where's it all going? Can't make any sense of it all. Where am I going? Say hello. Say hello. You're never alone. ----------- one of the finest songs ever made.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL@Haatu, ok. i'm all those things but its really true i'm the alter ego of Al. he's not here anymore. when will you visit the leeds uni campus?

i don't have expectation anymore. she just needs to be fertile, cook good food and has to posses a pretty face. all my other requirements will never be found in a somali xalimo. shame but its the reality.

AUN...... a poignant reminder. thank you.

In effect what we’re talking about here is the white woman erotising the black man from a position of strength in an encompassing white superstructure, in the process emasculating the black man as sexual creatures/objects of desire. Of course, this is considered morally repugnant, depraved and very deviant but behind closed doors it lingers in their mind set.

Cheese inudstry/dietry requires alot of market enterprising. these are luxury products to many in the west. these products are taken for granted here. there is potential for export but not so much for an internal market to exist, i'm afraid.
