in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up
'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing
moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs
don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's a place there's a place where we belong..
There may be trouble ahead But while theres moonlight and music and love and romance Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And while we still have the chance Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different toon And then, there may be tear drops to shed So while theres moonlight and music and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance
(musical break)
Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different toon And then, there may be tear drops to shed So while theres moonlight and music and love and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance..

If the world keeps on turning and I'm sure it's bound to do Then I'll keep on loving you And if the dawn comes tomorrow and we know that it is true Then I'll keep on loving you What the thing changes sky to fall the dawn wouldn't come the world wouldn't stall I wouldn't care as long as you're near it wouldn't matter to me at all And if the stars stay in heaven and the moon stays in the blue Then I'll keep on loving you
[piano - guitar]
If I ever should lose you then I know just what I'll do I'll just keep on loving you You are heaven to me dear you are every dream come true And I'll keep on loving you Life is so sweet when you are near I couldn't do without you my dear I love you so I want you to know I think of you wherever I go And I will always be faithful and I'm sure that you will too And I'll keep of loving you then I'll keep on loving you
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise He's chained forever to a world that's departed It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright His knees have trembled and given way in the night His hand has weakened at the moment of truth His step has faltered
One world, one soul Time pass, the river rolls
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication And silent replies that swirl invitation Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight And silence that speaks so much louder than words Of promises broken...
"Many people spend their life, at the mercy of circumstances. Living at the mercy of what happens to them. Living at the mercy of other people. NOT living in the present, because they are stuck in the prison of their past.
If you want to live a GREAT life, don’t allow yourself to be controlled by any of these things.
NUMBER 1 - Your PAST. NUMBER 2 - Other peoples opinions and judgements NUMBER 3 - LIMITED BELIEFS you project on yourself. NUMBER 4 - Relationships, and NUMBER 5 - MONEY."
All the things That we've been through You should understand me Like I understand you Now girl I know the difference Between right and wrong I ain't gonna do nothing To break up our happy home Don't get so excited When I come home A little late at night 'Cause we only act like children When we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me
We've all got our Own funny moods I've got mine, Woman you've got yours too Just trust in me like I trust in you As long as we've been together It should be so easy to do Just get yourself together Or we might as well say goodbye What good is a love affair When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now You will never Never never know me..
Australisch paardenvlees – het zoveelste gruwelverhaal
2 juli 2020 16:39
Van de Zwitserse dierenwelzijnsorganisatie Tierschutzbund Zürich ontvingen we schokkende beelden uit een Australisch slachthuis dat paardenvlees exporteert naar Europa. De mishandelingen die er plaatsvinden zijn extreem. Hoewel het slachthuis is goedgekeurd voor export van paardenvlees voor menselijke consumptie, is niet duidelijk in welke producten dat vlees terechtkomt.
Extreme mishandeling in het slachthuis
In het Australische slachthuis is twintig dagen lang undercover gefilmd met acht camera’s. De mishandelingen zijn onvoorstelbaar. Er wordt elektriciteit gebruikt op de hoofden en geslachtsdelen van paarden om ze vooruit te drijven. Paarden breken hun benen in de gangen van het slachthuis en worden tegen hun hoofd geschopt. Gevallen paarden worden met staalkabels door de gangen gesleurd. Bij een paard dat nog niet is doodgebloed, wordt de neus afgesneden. Paarden worden geslacht terwijl ze nog niet bewusteloos zijn. En om de nachtmerrie compleet te maken: de dieren kunnen elkaar zien tijdens het slachten. In Europa is dat verboden.
Afgedankte en gestolen paarden
De paarden die naar de slacht gaan, zijn afgedankt of gestolen. Ze worden op veilingen verkocht aan ‘kill buyers’, die hen verzamelen en doorverkopen aan het slachthuis. De paarden op de veilingen zijn angstig, staan zonder voer en verwonden zich aan de hekken. Sommige zijn broodmager. Na verkoop wacht hun een dagenlange rit in de brandende zon naar het terrein van de kill buyer.
Honderden uitgemergelde paarden, her en der karkassen
Filmbeelden tonen het terrein van een van de grootste kill buyers: een uitgestrekte, dorre woestenij met honderden uitgemergelde paarden en her en der paardenkarkassen. De paarden staan in de volle zon, er is bijna geen voer. De dieren eten mest en kauwen uit pure wanhoop op plastic netten. Er is geen enkele vorm van zorg of controle. Van hieruit worden de paarden naar het slachthuis getransporteerd. Als ze daar aankomen, zijn vele gewond als gevolg van uitputting, stokslagen en onprofessioneel laden.
Het vlees is niet te traceren
Uit onderzoek blijkt dat ruim de helft van de slachtpaarden bestaat uit racepaarden, waarvan vaak de medische geschiedenis wordt vervalst. In paardenkarkassen zijn restanten aangetroffen van verboden medicijnen (waaronder het zeer kankerverwekkende butazone), terwijl de papieren melden dat er geen medische behandeling heeft plaatsgevonden. De paarden worden door de kill buyer pas gelabeld bij de slacht, in plaats van bij aankoop. Sommige paarden waren twee weken voor de slacht nog actief op races en kregen daar naar alle waarschijnlijkheid medicatie.
Hoewel het slachthuis door de EU is goedgekeurd voor de export van paardenvlees voor menselijke consumptie, is niet duidelijk in welke producten dit vlees terechtkomt. Een aantal importeurs en verwerkers van paardenvlees lijkt de herkomst van het vlees in snacks bewust vaag te houden.
Wel staat vast dat België en Zwitserland paardenvlees importeren uit dit Australische slachthuis, én dat het Belgische importbedrijf ook paardenvlees naar Nederland exporteert.
Hieronder de volledige documentaire van Tierschutzbund Zürich. Let op: op de beelden kunnen als zeer schokkend worden ervaren!
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom. Blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter. Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision. Rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions. Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Pink Floyd
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by Roger Waters, Richard Wright and David Gilmour. It is a tribute to former band member Syd Barrett. The song was first performed on their 1974 French tour, and recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song was intended to be a side-long composition (like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes"), but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with new material composed that was more relevant to this song, and to the situation in which the band found themselves.
