Fade Away

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I’m sure
You’ve boarded up every door </p>

<p>Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel </p>

<p>I’ll paint you the picture
'Cause I don’t think you live round here no more
I’ve never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for </p>

<p>While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away </p>

<p>Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it’s only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday I’ll make you understand</p>

<p>I’ll paint you the picture
'Cause I don’t think you live round here no more
I’ve never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for </p>

<p>While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we’re living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away </p>

<p>A song by Oasis. Are the lyrics not freakishly true?
:frowning: (I thought this was appropriate since we’re all trying to stick to our dreams with university) But thats what makes us strong, our dreams WONT fade away :)</p>

<p>You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees’s conjuring turn</p>

<p>Presto!</p>

<p>And you’ll all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>He is quiet and small
He is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail</p>

<p>He can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving you into believing
That he’s only hunting for mice</p>

<p>He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplaced</p>

<p>You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!</p>

<p>And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>His manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But his voice has been heard on the roof
When he was curled up by the fire</p>

<p>And he’s sometimes been heard by the fire
When he was about on the roof
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)
Which is uncontestable proof</p>

<p>Of his singular magical powers
And I’ve known the family to call
Him in from the garden for hours
When he was asleep in the hall</p>

<p>And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!</p>

<p>And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!</p>

<p>Presto!</p>
