A little history...

During the first World War troops from Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) were being transported to eastern Canada, on their way overseas to Europe where they should join the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. When the train stopped at White River, Ontario, a lieutenant called Harry Colebourn bought a small female black bear cub for $20 from a hunter who had killed its mother. He named her 'Winnipeg', after his hometown of Winnipeg, or 'Winnie' for short.

 Winnie became the mascot of the Brigade and went to Britain with the unit. When the Brigade was posted to the battlefields of France, Lt. Colebourn took Winnie to the London Zoo for a long loan. Formally Colebourn presented the London Zoo with Winnie in December 1919 where it became a popular attraction and lived until 1934.

The bear was also very popular by Christopher Robin, son of author A.A. Milne. It was his favorite at the zoo, and he often spent time inside the cage with it. The bear was Christopher Robin's inspiration for calling his own teddy bear Winnie.... Winnie the Pooh (this teddy bear started out with the name of Edward Bear). The name of Pooh originally belonged to a swan, as can be seen in a poem from Milne's When We Were Very Young.

A.A. Milne started to write a series of books about Winnie the Pooh, his son Christopher Robin, and their friends at 100-Aker-Wood. These other characters, such as Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo were also based on stuffed animals belonging to Christopher Robin. Other characters as Rabbit and Owl were based on animals that lived, just like the swan Pooh, in the surrounding area of Milne's country home Cotchford Farm in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, on which 100-Aker-wood was based.

'Winnie-the-Pooh' was published by Methuen on October 14th, 1926, the verses 'Now We are Six' in 1927, and 'The House at Pooh Corner' in1928. All these books were illustrated in a beautiful way by E.H. Shepard, which made the books even more magical. The Pooh-books became firm favourites with old and young alike and have been translated into almost every known language. A conservative figure for the total sales of the four Methuen editions (including When We Were Very Young) up to the end of 1996 would be over 20 million copies. These figures do not include sales of the four books published by Dutton in Canada and the States, nor the foreign-language editions printed in more than 25 languages the world over!

Now That That's done some nice quotes from A.A. Milnes beloved stories

"Here he is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it...Anyhow, here he is at the bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh."

---

"Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other was the left, but he never could remember how to begin"

---

"Yes," said Winnie-the-Pooh. 
"I see now," said Winnie-the-Pooh. 
"I have been Foolish and Deluded," said he, "and I am a Bear of no Brain at All."

---

 Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

---

 "I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. 
 "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

---

"That buzzing-noise means something. If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee. .... 
And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey..... 
And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it." So he began to climb the tree."

---

Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.

---

You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.

---

Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake

---

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."

---

That's funny, I dropped it on the other side, and it came out this side!...And that was the beginning of a game called Poohsticks

Us Two

Wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go together," says Pooh.

"What's twice eleven?" I said to Pooh,
("Twice what?" said Pooh to Me.)
"I think it ought to be twenty-two."
"Just what I think myself," said Pooh.
"It wasn't an easy sum to do,
But that's what it is," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what it is," said Pooh.

"Let's look for dragons," I said to Pooh.
"Yes, let's," said Pooh to Me.
We crossed the river and found a few -
"Yes, those are dragons all right," said Pooh.
"As soon as I saw their beaks I knew.
That's what they are," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what they are," said Pooh.

"Let's frighten the dragons." I said to Pooh.
"That's right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his paw and I shouted , "Shoo!
Silly old dragons!" - and off they flew.
"I wasn't afraid," said Pooh, said he,
"I'm never afraid with you."

So wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
"What would I do?" I said to Pooh,
"If it wasn't for you," and Pooh said: "True,
It isn't much fun for One, but Two
Can stick together," says Pooh, says he.
"That's how it is," says Pooh.

"Sometimes, when you are a Bear of very Very Little Brain,
and you think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you
is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it."

Gone...

 

Look at all those fancy clothes,

But these could keep us warm just like those.

And what about your soul? Is it cold?

Is it straight from the mold, and ready to be sold?

And cars and phones and diamond rings,

Bling, bling, because those are only removable things.

And what about your mind? Does it shine?

Are there things that concern you, more than your time?

 

Gone, going.

Gone, everything.

Gone, don’t give a damn.

Gone, be the birds, when they don’t wanna sing.

Gone, people, all awkward with their things,

Gone.

 

Look at you, out to make a deal.

You try to be appealing, but you lose your appeal.

And what about those shoes you’re in today?

They’ll do no good, on the bridges you burnt along the way.

And you're willing to sell, anything?

Gone, with your head.

Leave your footprints,

And we’ll shame them with our words.

Gone, people, all careless and consumed, gone

 

Gone, goin,

Gone, everything.

Gone, don’t give a damn.

Gone, be the birds, if they don’t wanna sing.

Gone, people, all awkward with their things,

Gone.

Grace is gone

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight,
It's 2 AM, I'm drunk again,
It's heavy on my mind, It's heavy on my mind.

I could never love again,
So much as I love you.
Where you end, where I begin,
Is like a river going through.

Take my heart, take my eyes,
Cause I'll need them no more.
If never again they'll fall upon,
The one I so adore.

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on.

One drink to remember,
And another to forget.
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again?
One drink to remember, another to forget...

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Would you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on.
One more drink and I'll move on.

You think of things impossible,
Then the sun refuse to shine.
I woke with you beside me,
Your cold hand lay in mine.

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll go...

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart, my grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on,
One more drink and I'll move on.
One more drink my grace is gone.

Cookie Jar...

 

I would turn on the TV but it's so embarrasing

To see all the other people I don't know that they mean

It was magic at first when they spoke without sound

And now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down

Turn it around

"It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun

"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done

Cause life's been killing me ever since it begun

You cant blame me cause I'm too young"

"You can't blame me sure the killer was my son

But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun

It's the killer on this TV screen

You cant blame me its those images he seen

Well "You can't blame me", says the media man

Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan

I just point my camera at what the people want to see

Man it's a two way mirror and you cant blame me"

"You can't blame me", says the singer of the song

Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on

"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see

The smoke machines and makeup

Hey you cant fool me

"It was you it was me it was every man

We've all got the blood on our hands

We only receive what we demand

And if we want hell then hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV

But its so embarrasing

To see all the other people

I don't even know that they mean

And it was magic at first

But it let everyone down

And now this world is gonna hurt

You better turn it around

Turn it around

Traffic In The Sky Lyrics

There's traffic in the sky
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better
There's kids playing games on the pavement
Drawing waves on the pavement
Shadows of the planes on the pavement
Its enough to make me cry
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
Maybe its a dream and if I scream
It will burst at the seams
This whole place will fall to pieces
And then they'd say...

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
If you keep on adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well

Puzzle pieces in the ground
But no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens
With their eyes on the heavens
There are shadows on the way to the heavens
It's enough to make me cry
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
The answers could be found
We could learn from digging down
But no one ever seems to be digging
Instead they'll say...

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
If you keep on adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well

Words of wisdom all around
But no one ever seems to listen
They're talking about their plans on paper
Building up from the pavement
There are shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
It's enough to make me sigh
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
The words are still around
But the words are only sounds
And no one ever seems to listen
Instead they'll say

Well how could we have known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
If you keep on adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well

Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Almost

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got a car that I bought, won't get me far.
I gotta wish on a star, tell me mama.

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got friends who like me cause I got lots of dough.
The people recognize me wherever I go.
I don't got trouble getting high but if I don't get you I believe I will die.

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost
but I don't got you and you're the thing I need the most.

I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost.
I got everything I need, almost.  I got everything I need, almost.
But I don't got you, and you're the thing I need the most.

 Second nature

You walk into the room, you know whats on my mind.
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying.
Dont need no one to tell me what this is leading to,
cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you.

So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings.
Sure feels like the right time for you to spread your wings.
Aint no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks.
Once this thing gets rolling, darling, well there aint no turning back.

Second nature, to look at what weve found.
Second nature, you know were heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know were safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.

So take me to your heart, babe, and lead me to your door.
Take me in your arms, babe, never leave me any more.
Aint no one like you, baby, to stop me in my tracks.
All I know for this old heart, well there aint no turning back.

Second nature, to look at what weve found.
Second nature, you know were heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know were safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.

You must have heard my call,
Like rain to a waterfall.

Second nature, to look at what weve found.
Second nature, you know were heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know were safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.

Second nature, to look at what weve found.
Second nature, you know were heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know were safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.

High Lyrics

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

James Blunt

Chop Suey

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put on a little make up
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
(hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Whyd you leave the keys up on the table
There you go create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put on a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Whyd you leave the keys up on the table
I dont think you trust in my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die (die)
Wake up
(wake up)
Grab a brush and put on a little make up
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
(hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Whyd you leave the keys up on the table
There you go create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put on a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Whyd you leave the keys up on the table
I dont think you trust in my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
Father father father father
Father into your hand I comend my spirit
Father into your hand why have you forsaken me in your eyes
Forsaken me in your thoughts
Forsaken me in your heart
Forsaken me ohh
Trust in my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

You Never Know

Sitting still as stone
Watching, watching

People walkin' by me, wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it
They never did

What if God shuffled by
One day, we might see
Of doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason

But rushing around seems what's wrong with the world
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there 'til you're dead
Dream

Lying on the roof, counting
The suns that fill the sky
I wonder if
Someone in the heaven's looking back down on me
I'll never know

So much space to believe
Funny, when you're small
The moon follows the car
There's no one but you see
Hey, the the moon is chasing me

I worried if I looked away, she'd be gone
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there 'til you're dead
Dream

Walking through the wood
No cares in the world
The world she's come to play
She's all mine, just for a day

And there's not a moment to lose in the game
Don't let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time, you'll soon be dead
So play

Oh, fall down
It won't be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light
Like a flash
You think you can, you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream, little darling
Dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb
And every day should be a good day to die

Oh, fall down
It won't be too long now
And if I die
I find it hard to explain
How i got here
I think I can, I think I can
Then again, I will falter
Dream

Oh, I think I can, I think I can
I think I can, I think I can

Dream, little darling
Dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and
Whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and
Warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages
Tied up with strings
These are a few of
My favourite things

Cream coloured ponies and
Crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with
The moon on their wings
These are a few of
My favourite things

Girls in white dresses
With blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on
My nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters
That melt into Springs
These are a few of
My favourite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember
My favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad…

Brown eyed girl

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la

Go!

I hear a song, it makes me think of a girl I used to know
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now

Hey now where did we go?
Yeah, days when the rains came
Way down in the hollow
Yeah, playin' a new game

Laughin' and a runnin', hey, hey, hey
Skippin' and a jumpin', yeah, yeah
In the misty morning fog
Oh baby and our hearts a thumpin', and you

My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
We used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la

I hear a song, it makes me think of a girl I used to know
Hey, hey, hey
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now

Now that the years gone by
Yeah, now that I'm on my own
Saw you just the other day
Oh my, baby you have grown

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I am overcome just thinkin' 'bout it
Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you

My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
Yeah, we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la

I hear a song, it makes me think of a girl I used to know
Hey, hey, hey
I sing along when I hear it on the radio
Hey, hey, hey
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now

Echoes 

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the where or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

You are so beautiful

You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're every, everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

KISSING YOU

Pride can stand, a thousand trials,
the strong will never fall
But watching stars without you,
my soul cried.
Heaving heart is full of pain,
oh, oh, the aching.
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.

Touch me deep, pure, and true,
gift to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oh

Kiss the girl

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

Anywhere I Lay My Head

My head is spinning round, my heart is in my shoes, yeah
I went and set the thames on fire, oh, now I must come back down
Shes laughing in her sleeve boys, I can feel it in my bones
Oh, but anywhere Im gonna lay my head, Im gonna call my home

Well I see that the world is upside-down
Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold
And now the clouds, well theyve covered over
And the wind is blowing cold
Well I dont need anybody, because I learned, I learned to be alone
Well I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my head, boys
Well I gonna call my home

AMSTERDAM

Come on, my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I’d only waited
I’d not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I’ve got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It’s no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I’m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It’s no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I’m on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose.
