Safety Policy

a song that will tug at you heart strings



'There comes a time, (ever so rarely)


When I heed a certain call,


When the world must come together as one, (and visit blissinswiss.blogspot.com)


There are people dying, ( to read my blog)


And it's time to lend a hand to life,


The greatest gift of all...'





....Ok, getting a little too conceited aren't we? It must be this 'God' status I have recently acquired. Power and fame has got to my head. As Spidey puts it, 'with great power, comes great responsibility' , so I suppose that means it's time for another blogpost... (now, now, squelching, screaming and retching not allowed)


There comes a time when the blogger likes to sing (usually in the shower). There also comes a time when the blogger likes to refer to himself in the third person, but more on that later (but don't bet on it). Anyway, most of my last few days have been spent being jobless and so, I took time off from my jam packed schedule (being jobless is hard work!) to come up with this song. Now, before you begin thinking that it's a full on major self-composition and all, like A R Rahman, let me assure you I belong, very much, to the Anu Malik school of song composition which believes in pilfering and ripping off any hit (or non-hit) western song, adding a smattering of pelvic thrusts liberally and voila, we have Filmfare Award winning material with minimum effort. Jai Ho!!!


(To be sung to the tune of Fool's Garden's Lemon Tree)



I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another sunny weekday afternoon

I'm wasting my timeI got nothing to do

I'm hanging aroundI'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder....

I'm surfing around on my comp

I'm surfing too fast

I'm surfing too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonelyI'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder....

I wonder howI wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the new project to fly

And all that I can see is just a stupid safety policy

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

(I have swivel chair at my desk you see)

And all that I can read is just the damn safety policy

I'm sitting here

I miss the power

I'd like to go and take a shower

But there's no water in my room

I feel so tired

Put myself into bed

Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder.......

Isolation is not good for me

Isolation I don't want to read the safety policy

I'm steppin' out into the desert outside

And maybe I'll get a sunstroke ‘nd die

And nothing will ever happen and you wonder...

I wonder howI wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the new project to fly

And all that I can see is just the stupid safety policy

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

(Warning: swivelling=fun+giddines)

And all that I can read is just the damn safety policy

And I wonder, wonder

I wonder howI wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the new project to fly

And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see

Is just the damn safety policy.............
