My bio and incomplete filmography can be found at http://www.imdb.com

I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone To lie here and die among the sorrows Adrift among the days For everything I ever said And everything I've ever done is gone and dead As all things must surely have to end And great lovers will one day have to part I know that I am meant for this world My life has been extraordinary Blessed and cursed and won Time heals but I'm forever broken By and by the way... Have you ever heard the words I'm singing in these songs? It's for the girl I've loved all along Can a taste of love be so wrong As all things must surely have to end And great lovers will one day have to part I know that I am meant for this world And in my mind as I was floating Far above the clouds Some children laughed I'd fall for certain For thinking that I'd last forever But I knew exactly where I wasAnd I knew the meaning of it all And I knew the distance to the sun And I knew the echo that is love And I knew the secrets in your spires And I knew the emptiness of youth And I knew the solitude of heart And I knew the murmurs of the soul And the world is drawn into your hands And the world is etched upon your heart And the world so hard to understand Is the world you can't live without And I knew the silence of the world

My Interests

Hold your breath...Make a wish...Count to three..,

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don't smoke, don't even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you're upside down You say when he hits you, you don't mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Oh no, is that what it is?Red lights, grey morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who's around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip synch to the talk showsAnd if you look, you look through me And if you talk, you talk at me And when I touch you, you don't feel a thingIf I could stay... then the night would give you up Stay, and the day would keep its trust Stay, and the night would be enoughFaraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satellite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast, and BerlinAnd if you listen I can't call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout I'll only hear youIf I could stay... then the night would give you up. Stay then the day would keep its trust Stay with the demons you drowned Stay with the spirit I found Stay and the night would be enoughThree o'clock in the morning It' quiet and there's no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang and the clatter As an angel hits the ground

Television:

Take a bow Pack on powder Wash 'em out with buzzing lights Pay an audience to care 'Impress me' personalityStill and transfixed The electric sheep are dreaming of your face Enjoy you from the chemical Comfort of AmericaCome one, come all Into nineteen-eightyfour Yeah, three, two, one... Lights! camera! transaction!Quick, Your time is almost up Make 'em forget that they're the moth Edging in towards the flame Burn into obscurityStill and transfixed The electric sheep but dreaming up your fate We judge you from the card castle Comfort of AmericaCome one, come all Into nineteen-eightyfour Yeah, three, two, one... Lights! camera! transaction!Your foundation is canyoning Fault lines should be worn with pride I hate to say it But you're so much more You're so much more endearing with the sound turned off

Heroes:



http://www.myheritage.com
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
