InWhite Lyrics (лирика) - Mope
.
В море тонет лето.
Море видит сны.
Сумасшедшие мы до весны.

Тают все секреты
в мокрых сигаретах.
Ты
и где-то рядом я

Но море этим летом
Поделило все рассветы
попалам,
Небо этим летом
сыплет снегом.
Только море этим летом
поделило все рассветы попалам..
Небо
этим летом
не ответит нам.

Морю снится небо.
небо спрячет нас.
Пять минут на прозапас.
Безмятежность ветра
Песни, что не спеты
ТЫ
и где-то рядом я.

Но море этим летом
Поделило все рассветы
попалам,
Небо этим летом
сыплет снегом.
Только море этим летом
поделило все рассветы попалам..
Небо
этим летом
не ответит нам.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Friday 6th January 2012



.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) This is one of those times when your extensive social network comes in handy. When faced with a problem, think of who has undergone similar challenges. Call up this mastermind and invite them to lunch. You'll get some wonderful ideas after picking their brain. If you're looking for a job, spread the word among relatives and neighbours. Someone will hear of the perfect position for you, and throw your name into the hat. Right now, who you know is more important than what you know.

.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Adopting a positive attitude will take you far. Money is tight, but if you continue to work as if there are no obstacles in your way, you will succeed. People are pressuring you to work faster, but don't change your pace. By taking your fences in a calm, considered way, you'll make the best choices. Trust a seasoned expert who has undertaken similar projects. Their advice will prove invaluable, especially when it comes to handling finances.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You have a strong desire to succeed, and will do everything in your power to turn a dream into reality. Although you're working with limited resources, you will accomplish a great deal by asking friends for help. With their money and influence, you can get an audience with a very powerful executive. Fortunately, you know plenty of people in high places who are eager to promote your interests. It just goes to show, it pays to be nice to everyone.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Trust your instincts, especially when it comes to partnerships. If it seems like something is troubling your lover, you're probably right. Take this opportunity to offer some encouragement. It's entirely possible your amour has been suffering from wanderlust. Going on a trip together will ease their anxieties and draw you closer together. Are you single? You will meet someone at a secluded little hideaway. Keep your eyes open for someone who is reading your favourite book.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your social life is positively glittering. You'll have to choose among several invitations, which is just the way you like it. Going from one party to another enhances your star power. Be sure to bring plenty of business cards with you, as you'll meet several bigwigs along the way. You'll be offered an impressive job or commission, even if you're not looking for one. Don't be afraid to inflate your salary demands or price point. The client in question has a great deal of money to spend.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Presiding over a big project is a great channel for your organisational talent. You love being able to assign the right tasks to the appropriate people. You'd never make the mistake of practicing nepotism. It's more important to do a good job than bolster egos. Of course, some of your friends will be hurt by your ultra-professional attitude. By sticking to your guns, they'll see the wisdom of your ways. Until then, keep your head held high and continue to let logic be your guide.
 
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're eager to expand your horizons. Fortunately, your family is supportive of your plans, and will give you plenty of emotional and financial support. Whether you want to return to education, go on a trip, or write a book, you can depend on them to hold down the fort. Money from an inheritance, refund, or scholarship will arrive just in the nick of time. Use these resources to further your goals. Turn a deaf ear to critics who think you're being wasteful.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Play your cards close to your chest. This is one instance when your penchant for secrets works in your favour. By keeping the competition guessing, you'll get a considerable head start. An intimate relationship is heating up, but you can't afford to go public with this alliance. Together, you'll experience levels of happiness and financial security you've never imagined. Still, you can't be too confident yet. Several rivals are eager to take your place at the first sign of weakness.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You've always been able to make a splash on the social scene. People are drawn to your charm, enthusiasm, and good humour. Use these skills to form a powerful business partnership. By teaming up with someone who has deep pockets, you can finance a project that is dear to your heart. Fortunately, your collaborator has a deep appreciation for your talent, and will give you free rein to express it. This is your chance to make your mark.
 
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Apply your powers of analysis to a personal problem. Although it's difficult to be honest about your own shortcomings, it will help you in the long run. If you have difficulty making friends, study the fine art of conversation. Learning about people's interests will help you form deeper bonds. You have to admit, many are intimidated by your regal reserve. That doesn't mean you have to put on an act, but it does mean you should soften your approach.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Be discerning about the company you keep. As a general rule, you enjoy mixing with a wide variety of people. There are some who aren't worth your time. By refusing to mix with nitwits and emotional vampires, you'll save yourself lots of heartache. If you're bored, launch a creative project. You don't need to know how to paint, write, or dance; just follow your instincts. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. If you focus on having fun, you'll generate some really impressive work.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're highly sensitive right now, so try to take perceived insults with a pinch of salt. Having a sense of humour about your shortcomings is critical to your success. If people see you laughing at your mistakes, they'll be more prone to trust you. Working with a big group is daunting for an introvert like you. Push past your shyness and keep contributing ideas. The first few will be rejected, but in time, the gang will recognise your creative genius, and welcome it.
