Hand In My Pocket

A strange thing happened on my way to work the other day. I was thinking about Alanis Morissette and her music and suddenly, a song of her's came on air. I was like, "Wow! that's just great! Of course, that wasn't the only occasion such a coincidence happened.

Then there was the other time in the office, I was sorting papers and going through the things that are still outstanding and I was thinking that I need to see this certain person. And next thing I knew, he was standing right in front of me! Way too much of a coincidence, really. Spooky, in fact. Of course, there were other incidents. Too many and too trivial to commit to memory.

All these coincidences in life go to show that the mind is really powerful and under-utilised, something to use expansively, and wisely, of course. Remember The Secret? Like attract like and ask and you will receive (and I don't mean the religious kind, not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Enough said. Thought you might like to hear Alanis Morissette's song that came on air. Lyrics are also included - in case you'd want to sing along. This song grows on you, really. Btw, I've got the lyrics filed in my Lyrics blog. These days, the video is also loaded in together with the lyrics. Yep, I do have a Lyrics blog (stated on the sidebar too) but don't get your hopes up too high because it's just my own collection and not a comprehensive one, plus it's still a work-in-progress little pet project.

Well, enjoy the song. Dance to it if you want to. lol
Have a great weekend!



HAND IN MY POCKET

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'Cos I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'Cos I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette

And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'Cos I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
But I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine fine fine
'Cos I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
