  • This Mortal Coil – Kangaroo

    I first saw you.
    You had on blue jeans.
    Your eyes couldn’t hide anything.
    I saw you breathing
    And I saw you staring out in space.
    I next saw you, you was at a party.
    Thought you wasn’t cool, oh so flirty.
    I came against.
    Didn’t say excuse.
    You knew what I was doing,
    We looked very fine ’cause we were leaving.
    Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
    Oh I want you, Oh I want you… like a kangaroo…

  • Fiona Apple – Why Try To Change Me Now

    I’m sentimental
    So I walk in the rain
    I’ve got some habits
    even I cant explain
    Go to the corner
    and I end up in Spain

    Why try to change me now?

    I seat and day dream
    I got day dreams galore
    Cigarette ashes that they go on the floor
    Go away weekend
    Leave my keys in the door

    Why try to change me now?

    Why cant I be more conventional
    People talk and they stay… So I try
    But that cant be
    cos I cant see
    my strange little world
    just go passing me by
    let people wonder
    let them laugh let them frown
    you know I love you
    till the moon is upside down
    don’t you remember
    I was always your clown

    Why try to change me now?

    Why cant I be more conventional
    People talk and they stay…. So I try
    But that cant be
    cos I cant see
    my strange little world
    just go passing me by
    let people wonder
    let them laugh let them frown
    you know I love you
    till the moon is upside down
    don’t you remember
    I was always your clown

    Why try to change me?
    Why would you want to change me?
    Why try to change me now?

    A Tribute To Cy Coleman

  • Serradura – Mário de Sá Carneiro

    A minha vida sentou-se
    E não há quem a levante,
    Que desde o Poente ao Levante
    A minha vida fartou-se.

    E ei-la, a mona, lá está,
    Estendida, a perna traçada,
    No infindável sofá
    Da minha Alma estofada.

    Pois é assim: a minh’Alma
    Outrora a sonhar de Rússias,
    Espapaçou-se de calma,
    E hoje sonha só pelúcias.

    Vai aos Cafés, pede um bock,
    Lê o “Matin” de castigo,
    E não há nenhum remoque
    Que a regresse ao Oiro antigo!

    Dentro de mim é um fardo
    Que não pesa, mas que maça:
    O zumbido dum moscardo,
    Ou comichão que não passa.

    Folhetim da “Capital”
    Pelo nosso Júlio Dantas –
    Ou qualquer coisa entre tantas
    Duma antipatia igual…

    O raio já bebe vinho,
    Coisa que nunca fazia,
    E fuma o seu cigarrinho
    Em plena burocracia!…

    Qualquer dia, pela certa,
    Quando eu mal me precate,
    É capaz dum disparate,
    Se encontra a porta aberta…

    Isto assim não pode ser…
    Mas como achar um remédio?
    – Pra acabar este intermédio
    Lembrei-me de endoidecer:

    O que era fácil – partindo
    Os móveis do meu hotel,
    Ou para a rua saindo
    De barrete de papel

    A gritar “Viva a Alemanha”…
    Mas a minh’Alma, em verdade,
    Não merece tal façanha,
    Tal prova de lealdade…

    Vou deixá-la – decidido –
    No lavabo dum Café,
    Como um anel esquecido.
    É um fim mais raffiné.

  • Analysis of long tail keywords for SEO with Google Analytics

    After the recent Mayday update to Google SERP I decided to have a look into how much was the long tail keywords influenced by this.

    Long tail keywords are normally keywords with 3 or more words. To track it down I used the following regular expression: [^\s\+]+(\s|\+)+[^\s\+]+(\s|\+)+[^\s\+]+

    Steps inside Google Analytics. Traffic Sources->Search Engines->Google->Non paid

    On the filter keyword [containing] I input the regular expression: [^\s\+]+(\s|\+)+[^\s\+]+(\s|\+)+[^\s\+]+

    After I just tracked down the last 3 month number of visits with and without filtering the long tail and calculated the % value of the longtail.

    long tail keywords/total organic = % of the value for the long tail

    5 minutes and I realised that mayday update did *not* influence my sites long tail keywords.

    Hope that helps and if someone knows of a simpler or more effective way to do this I would love to know.

  • I Know It’s Over – The Smiths

    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    And as I climb into an empty bed
    Oh well… enough said.
    I know it’s over – still I cling
    I don’t know where else I can go
    Over …
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    See, the sea wants to take me
    The knife wants to slit me
    Do you think you can help me ?
    Sad veiled bride, please be happy
    Handsome groom, give her room
    Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
    (Though she needs you
    More than she loves you)
    And I know it’s over – still I cling
    I don’t know where else I can go
    Over and over and over and over
    Over and over, la …
    I know it’s over
    And it never really began
    But in my heart it was so real
    And you even spoke to me, and said :
    “If you’re so funny
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    And if you’re so clever
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    If you’re so very entertaining
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    If you’re so very good-looking
    Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
    I know …
    ‘Cause tonight is just like any other night
    That’s why you’re on your own tonight
    With your triumphs and good charms
    While they’re all there in each other’s arms…”
    It’s so easy to laugh
    It’s so easy to hate
    It takes strength to be gentle and kind
    Over, over, over, over
    It’s so easy to laugh
    It’s to easy to hate
    It takes guts to be gentle and kind
    Over, over
    Love is Natural and Real
    But not for you, my love
    Not tonight, my love
    Love is Natural and Real
    But not for such as you and I, my love
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
