Poorman's Grave

by: Eraserheads

I know a man who had nothing

He was a poor man all his life

He lived in a shack by the roadside

With starving kids and a loving wife

He went to church every Sunday

He prays from morning until night, he said

Good Lord, why have you forsaken me

When everything I did I thought was right

Now my life is coming to an end

There’s only one thing I’m wishing for

All my days I have never sinned

So I hope you wont ignore

What I’m asking for

Oh honey when I die

Dress me up in a coat and tie

Give my feet a pair of shoes

That I haven’t wore in a long time

Put me in a golden box

Not a cross on a pile of rocks

Bury me where the grass is green

And the gates are shining

Oh honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses

Where I could lie

I’m gonna use up all the money that I saved

Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man’s grave

I know a man who had nothing

He dreamed of satin sheets all his life

He lived and worked like a dog

Licking every boot he sees just to survive

He comes home drunk every night

Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said

Honey you have been so good to me

I only wish we had a better life

And now my life’s coming to an end

There’s only one thing I’m wishing for

All my days I have lived in shame

So I hope you wont ignore

Just what I’m asking for

Oh honey when I die

Dress me up in a coat and tie

Give my feet a pair of shoes

That I haven’t wore in a long time

Put me in a golden box

Not a cross on a pile of rocks

Bury me where the grass is green

And the gates are shining

Oh honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses

Where I could lie

I’m gonna use up all the money that I saved

Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man’s

Oh honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses

Where I could lie

I’m gonna use up all the money that I saved

Coz I dont wanna lie in a poor man’s grave

been to World Trade to watch NU rock awards. new bands were damn real good. especially urbandub.. corny lang minsan ung hosts. scripted masyado. but the night was fun..

i wish i was..

i haven't begged. i never did. i never will.

-sa store lang ako magbebeg ng tawaran. nyehehe!!

i think it's a mixture of both.. upon assessing how i feel, there is a feeling of relief that makes me things easier for me, in a practical sense siguro. if you're single, you are free to do anything, go out with anyone. but somehow, at the end of the day, you would still wish to have someone where you belong to. someone who sincerely cares for you, someone who has a genuine concern.. pero kahit ganon, it would still be better to look at in on a positive perspective.

wooow!! yebah!!

no matter how deppressing life at times is, i refuse to be lonely.. i choose to be happy. hmm, til 7:30am pa shift ko.. nyahaha!! sige.. kaya pa..

Life is good because we have the power to choose what makes us happy. we are free. it's an endless journey to new discoveries, learning and realizations to make life even much better everyday.. pity those who don't see how beautiful how life really is..

for all the pain that this world has caused me, i learned to cry. for all the sadness that struck my heart, i realized that i'm not stoned. for all the traumatic experiences that made my heart shiver, shake, and lonely, i found the way what makes me happy.

i also thank you for the bad things that tried to make me fall. i thank you still for the bad times that came and went by, i learned to identify them from the good things. i thank you for all the dark, sad experiences, i understood the reality of lilfe. this is what made me human. and i thank you for how you made me become.

* at times, wala akong pakialam sa iba, may tendency akong magsolo.

* sinungaling minsan sa totoong nraramdaman ko.
