Feeling Nostalgic about Home Sweet Home....
Sharing Cat Stevens "Katmandu" while listening it with ya' all...

"Katmandu"

I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan's tree

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
until I go
Be nice to know

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home


Pheri Vaytaula....!!!!

Here you go, another one, by Cat Stevens- "TROUBLE"

Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me

I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair

I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

I've seen your eyes
and I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me

I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see

Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery

Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time

Pheri vaytaula....

Do you guys know the "strange bewildering time " of Cat Stevens' "Kathmandu" is smoking ganza? he used to come to nepal in 60-70s and the spirit of siva-guti (rather pashupati guru babas might be the better way to describe it) is what inspired him to compose that song. well, naturally, you'd think he might have turned to hindu (if he would change his religion)... but i dont know what better "strange bewildering time " he had in other religion, he changed to islam...

no offense

this is my suneko kura & padheko kura (euta famous nepali patrika ma)
ehhehehehe....

Hi Gaalab!!!

Well, good question about "strange bewildering time". It depends on your perspective, how you see that line.

May be for Yusuf AKA Cat Stevens it is his Hippy euphoria, but for me, its strange bewlidering time is a heavenly bliss, which I have been missing for a while...

Pheri Vaytaula...!!!

Another legendary song by Bob Seger!

KATMANDU

I THINK I'M GOING TO KATMANDU,

THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WHERE I'M GOING TO.

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

K-K-K-K-K-KATMANDU,

I THINK THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO.

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.



I GOT NO KICK AGAINST THE WEST COAST

WARNER BROTHERS ARE SUCH GOOD HOSTS.

I RAISE MY WHISKEY GLASS AND GIVE THEM A TOAST,

I'M SURE THEY KNOW IT'S TRUE.

I GOT NO RAP AGAINST THE SOUTHERN STATES.

EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN THERE IT'S BEEN GREAT.

BUT NOW I'M LEAVING AND I CAN'T BE LATE

AND TO MYSELF BE TRUE.



THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO KATMANDU,

UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M GOING TO,

AND IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

K - K - K - K - K - KATMANDU,

THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WHERE I'M GOING TO,

OH, IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.



I GOT NO QUARREL WITH THE MIDWEST,

THE FOLKS OUT THERE HAVE GIVEN ME THIER BEST.

I LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN THIER GUEST,

I SURE HAVE LOVED IT, TOO.

I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE T.V. NEWS.

I'M TIRED OF DRIVING HARD AND PAYING DUES.

I FIGURE, BABY, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE,

I'M TIRED OF BEING BLUE.



THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO KATMANDU,

UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M GOING TO.

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

K - K - K - K - K - KATMANDU,

TAKE ME, BABY, 'CAUSE I'M GOING WITH YOU.

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.



I AIN'T GOT NOTHING 'GAINST THE EAST COAST.

YOU WANT SOME PEOPLE WHERE THEY GOT THE MOST.

AND NEW YORK CITY'S LIKE A FRIENDLY GHOST,

YOU SEEM TO PASS RIGHT THROUGH.

I KNOW I'M GONNA MISS THE U.S.A.,

I GUESS I'LL MISS IT EVERY SINGLE DAY,

BUT NO ONE LOVES ME HERE ANYWAY,

I KNOW MY PLANE IS DUE.



THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO KATMANDU,

UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M GOING TO.

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.



K-K-K-K-K-KATMANDU,

REALLY, REALLY GOING TO,

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,

I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.
