DOWNTOWN
Petula Clark

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now

------ instrumental break ------

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute more
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...

anyways (nostalgic isn't it? for unknown reasons i really like oldie songs... they're so melodic and feel-goody... :D), life moves on. my prelim grades are unveiling themselves slowly, and... i'm a bit DISappointed. though i'm pleased with my NatSci grade, it's just not enough to 'jack up' my ailing so-so other quizzes. same with philosophy (though it's the other way around... silly me). and math. quite unnerving, but i'm not exactly complaining. hmmm...

and there's the Proposed New Uniform for the new college of accountancy... damn, just when i have 6 uniforms that i *hoped* will age till 4th year! it's kinda plain (and i think i've seen that pattern before): cream top with 2 thin red (?!?!) stripes below the collar, and brown slacks. it psyched me again with the fact that my Hopeful Major is really shifting itself into something grand with the restructuring and the outfits (i swear, the construction plan looks high-tech). and then the uber-hope that i will be one of the first to stroll down that college building. what am i breathing for?
