Call My Bluff


Peer Group Pressure: Round 4 - Febrina.

Febrina told a story about how her neighbour's house burnt down but luckily her own house was undamaged. It happened on a holiday, at about 9am or 10am, and was caused by an exploding gas cylinder when the stove was being used to cook food for the celebrations. No one was killed but the whole episode was a shock. The story was true. Ten classmates were fooled.

SONG OF THE WEEK....

The Weakness In Me

by Joan Armatrading

I’ m not the sort of person
who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I gave my affection,
right from the start.
If I have a lover who loves me -
how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention.

Why do you come here, when you know
I’ve got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know
I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie when I don’t want to,
And make someone else
some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or
is all the weakness in me?

Why do you come here,
and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you -
I need to hold you -
tightly.

Feeling guilty, worried,
waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound,
But the new love cuts deep.
If I choose now, I'll lose out;
One of you has to fall...
And I need you, and you ...

Why do you come here,
when you know
I’ve got troubles enough?
Why do you call me,
when you know
I can’t answer the phone?
Make me lie I do not want to,
And make someone else
some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong or
is all the weakness in me?

Why do you come here,
and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you.
And I need to hold you - tightly

Should I post the mp3 of this song here for members of U202 Crew to download? Which version would you prefer? The original imperfect, vulnerable, fragile, genuine woman with heartache and confusion, ie. the version by the song's composer Joan Armatrading? Or the digitally perfect, vocally acrobatic, highly commercial, American Idol-like, mechanical, professional, anonymous R&B version by charge by the hour cover version specialist Keisha White?
