Mr Brown: A Love Song for Singapore
-
From the mrbrown podcast:
************
The lyrics:
The trains they come and go
Filled with faces I don’t know
Sometimes they don’t stop for me
I live near Woodleigh MRTThe city’s changing every day
I saw a new gantry on the way
That is why I sold my car
Why the bus-stop so damn farYou took so much from me
Got no cash to take taxiBut I’m still in love with you
But I’m still in love with you
(And) when I grow old, and don’t do what I’m told
I will still be in love with youI can’t afford a holiday
Everything has gone up but my pay
Can’t go out with all my friends
Can’t afford the latest fashion pantsYou promised me paradise
Overflowing with abundant rice
I used to go for lunch buffets
Now my breakfast’s half a yeow char kueyYou took so much from me
Got no cash to go high-teaBut I’m still in love with you
But I’m still in love with you
And when I grow old, and don’t do what I’m told
I will still be in love with youYou took so much from me
Got no cash to go high-teaBut I’m still in love with you
But I’m still in love with you
And when I grow old, promise me you won’t turn cold
Cos I’d still be in love with youTook so much from me
Got no cash, but I’m happyI am still in love with you
I am still in love with you
And when I grow old, and don’t do what I’m told
I will still be in love with you…*********************************
I think this song pretty much sums up what I feel about Singapore. It may be messed up in some ways, things could be better in some ways, but I'm still in love with it.
Any comments?

this is something the idiots in SC don't understand...
we rag on the MIW.. we laugh at ourselves.. we make fun of everything.. we complain about each other..
but ultimately, it's home

if that day comes, you'll see the MIW run from the underground tunnel of the parliament house to the Supreme Court, jump into the flying saucer there and fly away
