Stuck in a Moment

Back to a song of the week.... I wanted to post about being in a bit of a rut, and then I thought that this song just captures that completely.  I'm home from my adventures with Mum and Dad in Europe.  It's fairly gloomy and cold (though Spring is making a comeback).  I quit a job where I wasn't making any money anyway and just don't really know what to do with myself.  I want to return to study (writing this time), but that won't start till the end of summer next year (March).  My accomodation is too expensive, but I keep chickening out on talking to my flatmate.  Its a bit of a connundrum and to tell the truth I just don't really feel all that up to it!


But U2 express it even better, you might remember this one.


STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
