Say Goodbye - S Club 7 Music Video and Lyrics

Say Goodbye - S Club 7 In the years to come Will you think about these moments that we shared In THE years to come Are you gonna think it over And how we lived each day with no regrets Nothing lasts forever though we want it to The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye But don't you cry 'CAUSE true love never dies In a year from now Maybe there'll be thing we'll wish we'd never said In a year from now Maybe we'll see each other Standing on the same street corner though it rains Each and every end is always written in the stars If only I could stop the world I'd make this last Sometimes goodbye, THOUGH it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, THOUGH it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye (so say goodbye) But don't you cry 'CAUSE true love never dies And when you need my arms to run into I'll comfort you Nothing will ever change the way I feel Sometimes goodbye, THOUGH it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, THOUGH it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every day So say goodbye But don't you cry Because a true love never dies

A Dream Come True - S Club 7 Music Video and Lyrics

A Dream Come True - S Club 7 Ooh... Everybody's got something they had to leave behind One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering) How it could be now or neither been (or neither been) All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go Chorus I never had a dream come true Till that day that I found you Even though I pretend that I've moved on You'll always be my baby I never found the words to say You're the one I think about each day And I know no matter where love takes me to A part of me will always be with you Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time Amd tomorrow can never be 'Cause yesterday is all that fills my mind There's no use looking back or wondering How it should be now or neither been (or neither been) Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go Chorus You'll always be the dream that fills my head (Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, baby) You'll always be the one I know (I'll never forget) There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering) Because love is a strange and funny thing No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye No no no no Chorus A part of me will always be with you...

"Iraq: The Space Between"

Amazon says:

During the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 Christoph Bangert was still attending photography school. Only later, in the spring of 2005, when the Iraqi insurgency and sectarian violence reached its first peak, Westerners were kidnapped and beheaded, and most foreign journalists had left the country, did this intrepid photographer start to work in Iraq on assignment for The New York Times. The overtly hostile environment in Iraq for foreigners, without regard of the individual’s intention or affiliation, restricts the freedom of journalists, particularly photographers, who (unlike writers) must be physically present in order to get the story. Despite these conditions Bangert remained in Iraq as one of the few Western photographers committed to cover the war throughout 2006 and early 2007. He has worked largely independently from the military, using Iraqi guards, drivers, and translators, but was also occasionally embedded with American, British, and Iraqi forces. Iraq: The Space Between records the distance he traveled as a civilian between worlds committed to destruction in the name of freedom.

Here's Christopher Bangert's official site, and you can buy "Iraq: The Space Between" for 24% off at Amazon.

In addition to stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams, upcoming episodes will feature Rosie O'Donnell, Vivica A. Fox, Paul Rudd, and Sting. Here's the show's official site, which includes ecards, desktop wallpapers, a screensaver and more. And here's Little Britain USA's Wikipedia entry.

In this review at USA Today, Robert Bianco sums up: "Think of Monty Python with fewer people, even more drag, and latex fat suits, and you'll get the idea behind the marvelously talented Matt Lucas and David Walliams' comedy revue."
