Brando In The Taxi Scene

I'm the Tiger in Corbett
I'm the greatest song by Jet
I'm Yossarian in mid-flight
I'm the dream in midsummer night
I'm the boat in the Life of Pi
I'm the thief who never lies
I'm the ring in The Lord of The Rings
I'm the sand that the Sandman brings

I'm the sounds of The Edge's guitar
I'm the spy of The Cold War
I'm the owner of Jurassic Park
I'm the fear in Fear of The Dark
I'm Mick Jagger of The Stones
I'm the 'i' in the iPhone
I'm Hoyt in Training Day
I'm the field of human clay

I'm Kumble's ten wicket haul
I'm the fall of the Berlin wall
I'm the answer in the wind
I'm the drummer of the drum of tin
I'm the nose of Midnight's Child
I'm McCandless into the wild
I'm a play by Badal Sircar
I'm the last film by Gulzar

I'm the hare who is late for tea
I'm the old man at the sea
I'm the hand of the Doomsday Clock
I'm the son of The Ghost who walks
I'm the man from bakers street
I'm the ground beneath her feet
I'm Samson without long hair
I'm the coin for the boatman's fare

I'm the Motel run by Bates
I'm the Piper at the gates
I'm Wooster without Jeeves
I'm the Oscar that Hanks received
I'm the boy from Neverland
I'm the first book sold at Strand
I'm the Yellow Submarine
I'm Brando in the taxi scene


PS-I am just picking up from where the guys of Divine Comedy left. The above rhyme can be sung to the tune of Gin Soaked Boy and is heavily inspired/ripped off the same song.

PPS-Prizes for listing down all the cultural references.

The Hotel At The End Of The World

(Dedicated to Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman)

Stories fly, fashion in the sky
Colours dive, drown your brown eyes
Check out time, luggage's good to go
You don't know, you have to leave soon

Oh, but you have just arrived
Too late

Your dinner's cold, over cooked
And you sold your soul, to a crook
Running fast, make this night last
The world it ends, It depends

On you, but you just arrived
Too late

Explosive rain, it won't come again
Your room is booked, air-conditioning
The guest's are ready, for the end
You turn to leave, to pretend

Oh, but you have just arrived
Too late

Take this ship, crash it in the sun
Take this sand, make your dreams fun
Take this key, cash paid upfront
Take this life, there isn't another one

I know you've just arrived but
Too late

(A Different Perception)

I fast forwarded to a time when i am already great
And it flies away quickly . like a purple butterfly
i am standing under a crisp cotton flyover
and I dream a little dream of you

Amazed to see this is the place i live
Its so silent, i tend to think of myself as a dream
I had thought it more to be a panorama of the sea
I lie on a bed in an otherwise empty room

The river however was a strange hue
The sky,the night, or even just you
Independent of the sky and midnight restlessness
I wished I could hold on to something

I proceeded to walk across it, bare feet
And felt myself sinking in the sand below me
With expensive earphones stuffed into my head
I looked at the shooting stars dancing above

I Say

-In milibhagat with Mradul

I fast forwarded to a time when i am already great

The river however was a strange hue

The sky,the night, or even just you

I lie on a bed in an otherwise empty room
Its so silent, i tend to think of myself as a dream
I dream a little dream of you
And it flies away quickly . like a purple butterfly

Catharsis

S Died a simple death
He has finished the war
He waits for the next step
He has lived for hours

He came to shut the lights
Years after everyone else left
He is the first to go
They did not say goodbye

He thinks he knows it all
All the clothes he's worn
He will live a long life
S is about to be born
