Payphone

"Payphone"
(feat. Wiz Khalifa)

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.

You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If "Happy Ever Afters" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
[Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.

You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If "Happy Ever Afters" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
[Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone

[Wiz Khalifa]
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunting,
And all of my cars start with a push of a button

Telling me the chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it,
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it,
Don't need my name on my show,
You can tell it I'm ballin.

Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
that little piece of shit with you.

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If "Happy Ever Afters" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
[Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...

Albert and I were so thrilled when our baby daughter was born.
After so many years together, I was beginning to think we would never have a family! She's a very small little thing and deeps on losing weight because she won't drink her baby milk. the doctor says not to worry but I can't help it because she's getting thinner every day!

Titanium

Titanium in English
 
[Sia]
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticised but all your bullets, we could see
You shoot me down, but I get up

[Chorus]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium...

[Sia]
Cut me down
But it's you who'd have further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

[Chorus]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet , you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium...

[Sia]
Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, that bullet us down

[Chorus]
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
 
Titanium in Català
 

El criden
Però no puc escoltar una paraula que vostè diu
Estic parlant en veu alta no és dir molt
Em critiquen, però totes les seves bales, vam poder veure
Em enderrocar, però em llevo

[Tornada]
Estic a prova de bales, res a perdre
Dispara, dispara
Ricochet, porti al seu objectiu
Dispara, dispara
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Jo sóc de titani ...

[Sia]
Em va tallar avall
Però ets tu qui hauria de caure més
Poble fantasma, l'amor turmentat
Aixeca la teva veu, pals i pedres poden trencar els meus ossos
Estic parlant en veu alta no és dir molt

[Tornada]
Estic a prova de bales, res a perdre
Dispara, dispara
Ricochet, porti al seu objectiu
Dispara, dispara
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Jo sóc de titani ...

[Sia]
Casa de dur, de metralladora
Disparar als que s'executen
Casa de dur, que la bala que ens avall

[Tornada]
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani
Em enderrocar, però no vaig a caure
Jo sóc de titani

People The duel

Madonna VS Gaga

Madonna is the most successful famale artist of all time. 
she is often compared to Madonna and accused of copying her. 

Madonna's MUSIC 
Provacative and shocking are words that best describe Madonna and her music. At the start of her career in the 1980s, she shoked fans with songs such as "Like a Virgin". Her music was original and catchy.

Madonna's Style
A punk look with lace, a Marlyn Monoroe look, a cowgirl look, a Che Guevara look... in the past 30 years Madonna has been a style chameleon. She has constantly reinvented herself. her sty les have started fashion trends and girls have always copied her looks. 

Madonna's videos
Madonna wears provocative clothes in her videos, and has a unique dance style. She has won 20 MTV Video Awards: that's a world record. 

Madonna's concerts 
Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour (2008-2009) is the higest-grossing tour by a female artist in history. 


Now she has a rival: Lady Gaga
so Who is the real wueen of pop?

Lady Gaga's MUSIC

Lady Gaga's look is original, but did Gaga copy Madonna's music? Gaga's song "Born This Way" is similar to "Express Yourself" by Madonna. But Gaga says the melody is hers. 
Do you agree? 

Lady Gaga's style

Lady Gaga is not style chameleon, she's a style alien: she loves science fiction and 1970s glam rock. She has copied some of Madonna's looks and likes to shock, but her style is darker, bizzarre and more extreme::: remember her meat dress?
Gaga, don't be too extreme... some fans are vegeterian!

Lady Gaga's viedeos

Gaga has won 13 MTV video Awards after only three years in music. Her videos are like short films, and she uses strange imagery to shock.... 
Gaga, only seve more awards and you'll beat Madonna. 


Lady Gaga's concerts
Gag's Monster Ball Tour is the most successful tour by a debut artist in history. Well done!
Gaga, Madonna is still winning.

A brave Rescue

The rescue happened while we were travelling in Serinyà last August. It was really amazing and I got a photo of it.
I was with my friends and we were on bicycle. We were wxploring the forests when we saw people on the forest. 
There was a woman, a ma, and two children exploring the forest. A tiger was coming from the forest behind them. A boy was also watching, and as soon as he saw the problem, he went to the people with his bicycle. 
The boy went to the city three times and rescued the people. He was very brave because the tiger was very dangerous. 

Speaking 4

Laura: That's amazing! Is that your photo, Marta?
Marta: Yes do you like it?
Laura: Yeah. When did you take this?
Marta: I was on a trip. These people were doing tricks on their skateboards.
Laura: really? Whay were they doing that?
Marta: It was a show.
Laura: Did you try it?
Marta: You're kidding! I can't skateboard.
Laura: Yeah, well it's a great photo. Well done!

Nature story

Reason 2
Mum seeks baby

In the case of mammals, there could be another explantion for "friendships" between animals of different species: the maternal instict.
"If a famale loses her babies, the maternal instict can make her adopt a baby of many species, says Ms Bouchard. For wxample a linoess can take care of a young antelope as  if it was her own baby".
this is confirmet by the experience of Fr Daphne Sheldrick, a vet who specialitzes in the rehabitation of orphan animals. One day, someone brought her a baby zebra adopted by a lioness.... who dad devoured its mother the day before.
When a female becomes a mother, her body produces a hermone, oxytocin, with helps her to produce milk and become attached to her babies. "If the die, the mother tries to stisfy her need to be a mother " Ms Bouchard explains. "In this case, the maternal insict is more important than the hunting instinct."



A piglet and a tiger

A piglet sleeps on a tiger at Sriracha zoo in Thailand. Staff at he zoo encourage different animals to live together soon after they are born.




What about human beings?

Human babies also have a socialitzation period. Some* years ago, the story of little Tippi Dergé caused a sensation. 
Born in Africa, she slept happily with lions, squabbled with a wild* leopard and rode ostriches!
