Is Singapore A place You call HOME?

[evisionary]

From Wikipedia,
A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment.

Music & Lyrics: Dick Lee

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

( Repeat Chorus )

For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home

Whenever I travel out of this Country, on returning flight as the air stewardess announces "Welcome Home" I can't help but feels a sense of belonging.

Do you?

Sing to the tune of Hotel California

Welcome to the hotel Singapura, such a lovely place (such a lovely place, such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel Singapura, Any time of the year (Any time of the year) you can find it here
They're living it up in the hotel Singapura, what a nice suprise (what a nice suprise), bring in your chow cheebyes

 

[Perspective]

Anything within the confines of my pigeonhole is "home". Anything outside that is not.

>Sail down the river which brings us life Winding through my Singapore >

They must have made him to watch the SAF propaganda of the submarine sailing down the river.....

Maybe he is talking about the 'longkang' that wind through SINgapore...that is now the money source for NEWATER!!

Singapore is NOT for Singaporeans!

 

[Lee Hsien Tau]

whenever i am feeling low
i look in my bag and i know
there's a place i must head constantly
wherever i may choose to go
i will always recall the 'city'
know every block and ward
swallow the medicine that brings me peace
winding through my veins and pores
this is a tomb truly
where i know it shall be
where my death waits for me


...the rest later.

this is a tomb truly
where i know it shall be
where my death awaits me
where the patients come and go
this is a tomb surely
as my senses tell me
this is where nothing shall atone
for this is where i know i'm to go
when there are troubles to go through
it's not a place to start anew
there's no comfort in the knowledge



......the rest later

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I shake my head
There's a place that will hunt within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us FTrash
Winding through my Stinkapore

Chorus:
This is hell truly, where I know I must leave it
Where my nightmare wait for me, where that stinking river always flows
This is hell surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I will be alone, for this is where I know it's hell

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to blame each other
There is disgust in the knowledge
That hell's about its people too
So we'll build our nightmare together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us FTrash
There'll always be Stinkapore

( Repeat Chorus )

For this is where I know it's HELL

Whenever I am feeling low
I look in my bag and I know
There's a place I must head constantly
Whenever I am running low
I will always recall the 'city'
Know every block and ward
Swallow the medicine that brings me peace
Winding through my veins and pores
This is a tomb truly
Where I know it shall be
Where my death awaits me
Where the patients come and go
This is a tomb surely
As my senses tell me
This is where nothing shall atone
For this is where I know I'm to go
When there are troubles to go through
It's not a place to start anew
There's no comfort in the knowledge
That tomb's about dead people too
So we'll build our tombs together
The way they're built before
Swallow the poison that brings us peace
Swimming through our veins and pores
This is a tomb truly
Where I know it shall be
Where my death awaits me
Where the patients come and go
This is a tomb surely
As my senses tell me
This is where nothing shall atone
For this is where I know I'm to go
This is a tomb truly
Where I know it shall be
Where my death awaits me
Where the patients come and go
This is a tomb surely
As my senses tell me
This is where nothing shall atone
For this is where I'll be entombed
For this is where I'll be entombed
For this is where I'll be entombed
