Honey so long, nice to see you
Won't be long before I come back home
When the plane lands, will you reach me
Will you call me on the telephone

Tell my son I wish I never yelled at him yesterday
Cause everything's changed
Radar signal seeking you, but finding nothing at all, hey --
Blow the horn and call the cavalry there's something happening, hey --

Goodbye mother, tell my daughter
Have to leave get off the telephone
There's a problem, sinking feeling
Hero's dying, plastic armor on

Tell my son I wish I never yelled at him yesterday
Cause everything's changed
And you, you gave me all you had, hey --
I hope someday you will be happy, without me

Lost in a world thats quickly going mad
A human missile streaking to the ground
Angels and the demons fight to save the lives
While all the others cry

As for you, you made my life worth living, hey --
I pray one day you will be happy, without me

Goodbye
Goodbye.

I've listened to this song many many many times, but today is the first time I ever listened to the lyrics. Partly because Scott Weiland mumbles but mostly it's because my idol in that band is Slash, so god forgive me. Anyway somehow this song suddenly sounds really nice now after I've heard what it is actually about... essentially a man who is leaving goodbye messages apologizing to his family for all the (presumably) bad things he had done. It's probably kind of like a suicide note in a sense like Pink Spider I'd guess, for those who subscribe to that argument (I don't).

Anyway, today was the first day of exams. And it really is a big load off because 201 is a subject you have to study and remember. Ok I think I did quite well I suppose, now on to some sleep then last minute revisions for 203 tommorow.

Been watching Friends all over again - and I swear it is really THE big daddy of senseless dramas to fill up your time. Especially the first few seasons, which are seriously, frankly funny and entertaining (the later ones were drab).
