Title: Phil Collins - Groovy Kind Of Love lyrics
Artist: Phil Collins Lyrics


When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel you heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

Any time you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Any time at all
When I kiss your lips
Ooh, I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

Ooh

When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms
Nothing seems to matter
My whole world can shatter
I don't care
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
Ooh, ooh
We got a groovy kind of love

 Something you should know about Separate Lives Lyrics

Title: Phil Collins - Separate Lives lyrics

Artist: Phil Collins Lyrics


You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can’t go on just holding on to time
Now that we’re living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we’re living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it’s so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we’ll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

All Of My Life lyrics - Phil Collins

All Of My Life lyrics
Songwriters: Phil Collins

All of my life, I've been searching
For the words to say how I feel
I'd spend my time thinking too much
And leave too little to say what I mean
But I've tried to understand the best I can all of my life

All of my life, I've been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have done
All the things I could have said come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
Seems I'm always that little too late, all of my life

Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, 'cos I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember
And there's too much I need to say

All of my life, I've been looking
But it's hard to find the way
Just reaching past the goal in front of me
While what's important just slips away
And it doesn't come back but I'll be looking, all of my life

Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, 'coz I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember
And there's too much I need to say, oh yeah

All of my life there have been regrets
That I didn't do all I could
Making records upstairs while he watched TV
I didn't spend the time I should
And it's a memory I will live with all of my life

New Teen Wolf is darker and sexier

7:14 AM |
Teen Wolf is back, but those expecting a cute teenaged comedy with plenty of basketball scenes are in for a shock.

The MTV series is still aimed at teenagers and young adults but it's darker, scarier, sexier and has swapped basketball for lacrosse.

The Australian director of the series, Russell Mulcahy, says he prefers to call it a reinvention of the Michael J Fox film, rather than a remake.

"MTV talked about reinventing it and giving it a modern twist and heading more in the direction of The Lost Boys from the 1980s," Mulcahy says of the new series to air on Seven.

But he says that's not to take anything away from the original Teen Wolf.

"I think the 80s version was cute, one would even say a little campy." Mulcahy says.

"But when we were shooting we had three words that we sort of lived by: make it scary, sexy and surprising."

And the switch of sports from basketball to lacrosse apparently fitted more closely with the reinvention's new image.

"It's an incredibly fast, somewhat violent game, but it's an incredibly interesting game to watch," he says.

"We wanted a remix (of the original film) so those key elements we wanted to change. We wanted to take it away from basketball because people would be expecting basketball."

While it may be tempting to compare the series to Twilight, Mulcahy says although they're both based on the supernatural, his series is a lot darker than the teenaged vampire franchise.

"They're two different animals and I love both breeds," he says.

"To me it's like going into a bookshop and you're wanting to buy a mystery novel. You don't want just one choice. I think there's enough room and there's enough creative differences in the series to set it apart."

While it is a dark series, Mulcahy says there are still plenty of laughs to be found along the way.

"There is some real humour in it," he says.

"A lot of the humour comes from the dialogue. It's very smart."

Mulcahy says he also re-imagined the lead character, Scott McCall, this time played by Tyler Posey (Maid in Manhattan), as more like Spiderman's Peter Parker.

"It has all those elements of normal teenagers and their trials and tribulations and then you throw in the mix that one of them is a werewolf," he says.

"Then it's really about him having to deal with that."

Mulcahy is full of praise for his young cast which also includes Crystal Reed as Allison Argent and newcomer Dylan O'Brien as Stiles.

"It's very well performed. Your heart bleeds for these characters," he says.

"It's such a rollercoaster of emotions."

Despite only having a few comedic clips on YouTube, O'Brien managed to beat hundreds of actors to the role of Stiles.

"Dylan O'Brien came in with a resume that was a blank piece of paper apart from a few clips on Youtube," Mulcahy says.

"But he did his audition and we we were just blown away with it."

The series premiered in the US a few weeks ago and Mulcahy says it has been well received despite some critics dismissing it before it aired.

"I think there were a few cynics out there who were really hoping to dislike it and I think they're few and far between now," he says.

And while the demographic for the show may be teenagers and 20-somethings, Mulcahy says there's plenty in it for everyone.

"I think from folklore to written stories such as Dracula to early movies and modern shows, people love the genre of the unknown," he says.

"We just hope to deliver that dark fantasy."

US tourist abandoned at Great Barrier Reef

7:12 AM |

A US tourist has been forced to swim for help after realising he was left behind on a Great Barrier Reef snorkelling trip.

The case has eerie echoes of the Tom and Eileen Lonergan tragedy, the American couple left behind on a dive off Port Douglas in January 1998.

Their horrific ordeal was the inspiration for the movie Open Water, which told of their desperate fight for survival after they surfaced to find their boat had left them behind.

The incident tightened the headcount regulations for reef tour operators, but these were overlooked on the Passions of Paradise boat, which left US tourist Ian Cole stranded on Saturday.

The 28-year-old told The Cairns Post newspaper he panicked when he pulled his head from the water at Michaelmas Cay and found the boat had left.

He was forced to swim to another vessel owned by the same company, whose employees radioed for Passions of Paradise to come back.

The staff member who failed to properly perform the headcount has reportedly been sacked, and the incident reported to Marine Safety Queensland and Workplace Health and Safety.

Mr Cole's money was refunded, and he was given a $200 restaurant voucher.

It took two days for the Lonergans to be reported missing and their bodies were never found.
It's presumed they drowned or were taken by sharks.

In divided Bahrain, students pay price for protests

7:09 AM |

MANAMA (Reuters) - As the summer heat sets in, most university students in Bahrain are eagerly looking forward to getting out of class. But 19 year-old Mohammed and his friends are struggling to get back in.

Local rights groups say over 400 mostly Shi'ite students have been expelled from Bahraini universities in recent months, charged with participating in the "unauthorized protests" which shook the Gulf island kingdom earlier this year.

Mohammed, a second year student at Bahrain University, described a string of student dismissals since March, in which officials used protesters' own Facebook postings and YouTube videos against them to identify students who joined demonstrations or criticized the government online.

"There is an aggressive with-us-or-against-us mentality," he said, declining to give his full name for fear of further government reprisals. "If you went out to the streets to ask for your rights, now you must be punished."

School officials say students crossed a red line by calling for the fall of the government on school grounds. Students insist many of them only protested off-campus, and warn the punishments have increased pent-up anger that could erupt again.

The Sunni rulers of Bahrain, home port to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, quashed weeks of protests led mostly by the country's Shi'ite majority during a March crackdown that also has seen up to 2,000 workers sacked and hundreds arrested.

Bahrain said the protests had a sectarian agenda with backing from Shi'ite power Iran, which the opposition denies.

The education ministry has said students can apply to other schools, but they have complained they were unable to get copies of their transcripts. They were also convinced no other local university would take on students expelled for protests.

Some, under a travel ban for political activities, cannot study abroad. Others are too afraid to leave.

"The situation is very bad. Some of us have parents who were sacked. What if the other parent gets sacked? We have to save everything we have," said 21-year-old Sayed.

Like other students, he met Reuters at a deserted shopping mall out of fear of speaking out. Sayed was less than a semester from graduating when he was dismissed in March.

BUDDING ACTIVISTS

Mohammed fears arrest if he applies for a job and is discovered to be an expelled student protester. Instead, he spends afternoons driving through Shi'ite villages looking for protests and networking with activists by mobile phone.

"I don't have class, I don't have work. So I work for the revolution. They stole my rights, my future, I will fight back," he said. "I have nothing to lose."

Tensions have been high since the crackdown and protests have occurred daily since the government lifted an emergency law on June 1. A national dialogue for reforms, planned to start on July 2, has fallen on deaf ears among younger and increasingly hardline Shi'ite youths.

Across town, 20 year-old Asma Darwish, one of some 40 students expelled from Bahrain Polytechnic last week, has devoted her time to looking for scholarships and activism.

"They have a bunch of smart young people sitting at home with nothing to do. It will ruin the country," said Darwish, her black veil and abaya hanging from a slim frame, frail from finishing a nine-day hunger strike over her brother's detention.

Days after police escorted her off campus, she was briefly arrested for staging a small sit-in at a United Nations office.

Some students face worse sanctions: One woman, who was afraid to give her name, said she was jailed for a month the night after she admitted at a school questioning that she was active at protests.

She said she was beaten with sticks and electric rods in detention, and threatened with rape. The government has denied systematic abuse and said any incidents will be investigated.

"I had never considered myself an activist, I just wanted a better life," she said. "I'm stronger now. I learned what politics are, that we have rights and should speak up for them."

LOYALTY PLEDGE

The University of Bahrain's dean of student affairs defended the dismissals, saying students would be able to appeal, and that those punished clearly broke school rules.

"They disrupted the educational environment with unauthorized protests... if they raised slogans against the regime, that's an additional violation," said Adnan al-Tamimi.

The University of Bahrain now also requires its students to sign a loyalty pledge to Bahrain and King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. The pledge says those who do not sign are giving up their right to university study, and those who break the pledge can be expelled.

University officials said the pledge was not new, but signatures are now required to ensure students know the rules.

One employee, who defended the dismissals, said even he was disturbed by the mood on campus in recent months, where white stickers with bold black letters have been plastered all over the walls: "God will not pardon what has passed."

Not only Bahraini, but Saudi and UAE flags flutter in doorways -- a tribute to the troops from neighboring Sunni Gulf countries that came in to back Bahrain's government during its crackdown.

"You can't say anything, or they will accuse you of being against the government," the employee whispered. "It worries me, they seem to forget: One day you are on top, the next on the bottom. No government lasts forever."

Suicide Bomber Kills Many At Nigerian Police Headquarters

12:17 PM |


The Nigerian Police Headquarters, Abuja was this afternoon hit by a car bomb killing about ten people according to an eye witness and official sources. The bomber is believed to have died in the attack.

Yemi Ajayi, a spokesman for the police said the explosion occurred at the car park within the compound of the police building.

An eye witness to the blast, a senior police officer told Thetimesofnigeria.com that there are over ten fatalities.

“Over ten people must have died. Bodies are being evacuated as I speak to you. It is not possible to say how many may have died so far.”

The senior police officer who prefers anonymity said he saw the bomber as he drove into the police headquarters’ and parked his Honda Civic (Ash color) car in the area reserved for the Inspector General of Police.

“The bomber parked the car on the spot reserved for the IG and he was immediately accosted and was being questioned when the bomb went over. Everything happened in less than thirty seconds.” The officer said.

“I am not sure if the bomber died in the car or if he made it our alive as we all took cover as the bomb exploded. There was commotion everywhere.”

Authorities in Nigeria’s north have previously blamed the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, which draws inspiration from Afghanistan’s Taliban movement, for bomb attacks and killings targeting government officials and security forces. More than 14,000 people died in ethnic and religious clashes between 1999 and 2009 in Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer and most populous nation, according to the Brussels-based International Crisis Group.

Boko Haram have set conditions for peace talks with President Goodluck Jonathan, including the introduction of Sharia law in the country’s northern states, Usman al-Zawahiri, a spokesman for the sect, said on June 13.

Militants from the oil-producing Niger Delta have also attacked government officials.

Force spokesman Olusola Amore has fingered the Boko Haram sect as probable culprits in this morning's attack on the Police Force Headquarters.


He said the Boko Haram were the likely suspects because they had been "issuing threats" against the police and other establishments. He also said the IG will not be embarrassed or tender his resignation because it is not the first time such occurrences have happened in Nigeria.

Speaking to media men, he claimed that one suicide bomber and the traffic policeman who tried to intercept him as he drove into the Police Force HQ were the only two fatalities from this morning's explosion. He said the remains of the bomber had been taken for further investigation.
