Regina Spektor's Music (Feb 21, 2008 9:45 am)
I've been listening to Regina Spektor's songs for more than a year but I don't know why that only now I remember to post this song's lyrics..kkk...I guess because I'm listening to it at the moment...hayyy..I just love her so much!...especially her voice and skills in playing the piano..^^

I remember when I was young..I also dreamnt of becoming a famous pianist..I was 9 years old when I first had m piano lessons..my first teacher was Ma'am Bing..she's the wife of Pastor Senina..so everyday for like 4 years I went to their house beside the Baptist Church to have my piano lessons..^^...but I was 13 years old when my parents decide to enroll me in Yamaha School of Music so that I can go there right after my class in High School..^^...I studied there for 2 years and had recitals with my classmates every Christmas and Summer...^^..It was really fun growing up that way..I guess that's where my passion for music grew..^^...Sadly, I have to stop when I was in 3rd year because of my grades..DARN!...^^..but even up to now I sill dream of going back to piano school again..^^...maybe someday when I have kids..I will study with them..kkk...^^

MERMAID by Regina Spektor
I'm a mermaid
but I've sold my voice
for a pair of feet
that tend to bleed
when I go walking in the road
I'm a mermaid
but I've sold my voice
for a couple of feet
and they always bleed
when I go walking in these streets
and I once saw a most beautiful man
at the local record store
he bumped into me and said,
well excuse me, young ma'am,
but haven't I seen your pretty eyes somewhere before?
I smiled but gestured at my throat
to show that I was mute
well, he quickly looked down at the floor
and shuffled in his boots
he was out of there so fast
I'm a mermaid
but I've sold my voice
for a midnight train
and a bump of cocaine
and an old photo of ballets russes
I'm a mermaid
but I have sold my voice
for a bottle of gin
cause I can't swim
and I sure don't want to float
I was so lonely walking out of that store
and back into the busy people street
when overhead I heard an argument
a woman opened up her window, threw a flower pot from it
I was startled by the crash
but went over to find a little plant
I quickly emptied out my paper coffee cup and
adopted it
transplanted it
took it home and
named it mozart
I am a mermaid
but I've sold my voice
and I got rid of my tail
at a junkyard sale
along with some favorite childhood toys
I'm a mermaidbut I have sold my voice
for a couple of feet
that tend to bleed
when I go walking in the street...
I'm a mermaid
but I have sold my voice
for a couple of feet
and they always bleed
no matter how I plead...
