Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
media type="youtube" key="E-RllNyZt90&rel=1" height="355" width="425" ==

Just as you take my hand Just as you write my number down Just as the drinks arrive Just as they play your favourite song As your bad mood disappears No longer wound up like a spring Before you've had too much Come back in focus again

The walls abandon shape They got a cheshire cat grin All blurring into one This place is on a mission Before the night owl Before the animal noises Closed circuit cameras Before you're comatose

Before you run away from me Before you're lost between the notes The beat goes round and round The beat goes round and round I never really got there I just pretended that I had

What's the point of instruments Words are a sawed off shotgun

Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me Before you're lost between the notes Just as you take the mic Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaw falling into place There is nothing to explain Regard each other as you pass She looks back, you look back Not just once Not just twice Wish away the nightmare Wish away the nightmare You've got a light you can feel it on your back You've got a light you can feel it on your back Jigsaws falling into places, places

COLDPLAY - The Scientist
media type="youtube" key="V3Kd7IGPyeg&rel=1" height="355" width="425" Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you Tell you I need you Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets And ask me your questions oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles Comin up tails Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing The numbers and figures Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science Science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me Come back and haunt me Oh, when I rush to the start

Running in circles Chasing our tails Comin' back as we are

Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start...

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh

He emulates Bruce Lee's martial art style as a way of producing the painting (i.e. painting the portrait using only karate chops).

Picture Dictionary of Modern Architecture: PostmodernismPhilip Johnson's At&T Headquarters (now the SONY Building) is often cited as an example of Postmodernism.[|Gallery Index]Image 12 of 12 [|< Prev.] [|11] Next > Photo by Dan McKay, Flickr Creative Commons Philip Johnson's At&T Headquarters (now the SONY Building) is often cited as an example of postmodernism.Postmodern architecture evolved from the [|modernist movement], yet contradicts many of the modernist ideas. Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse. Familiar shapes and details are used in unexpected ways. Buildings may incorporate symbols to make a statement or simply to delight the viewer. Philip Johnson's At&T Headquarters is often cited as an example of postmodernism. Like many buildings in the International Style, the skyscraper has a sleek, classical facade. At the top, however, is an oversized "Chippendale" pediment. The key ideas of Postmodernism are set forth in two important books by Robert Venturi: //Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture// and //Learning from Las Vegas//.
