			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I strove with none, for none was worth my strife.<br />
Nature I loved and, next to Nature, Art;<br />
I warmed both hands before the fire of life,<br />
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.</p>
<p>Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)</p>
<p>我和谁都不争,<br />
和谁争我都不屑；<br />
我爱大自然，<br />
其次就是艺术；<br />
我双手烤着，<br />
生命之火取暖；<br />
火萎了，<br />
我也准备走了。<br />
　　<br />
[英]兰德（杨绛 译）</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christmas Must Be Something More &#8211; Taylor Swift &#8211; Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (2007)</p>
<p>Released on October 14, 2007. </p>
<p>What if ribbons and bows didn&#8217;t mean a thing<br />
Would the song still survive without five golden rings<br />
Would you still wanna kiss without misletoe<br />
What would happen if God never let it snow<br />
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie<br />
Tell me what would you find</p>
<p>You&#8217;d see that today holds something special<br />
Something holy, not superficial<br />
So here&#8217;s to the birthday boy who saved our lives<br />
It&#8217;s something we all try to ignore<br />
And put a wreath up on your door<br />
So here&#8217;s something you should know that is for sure<br />
Christmas must be something more</p>
<p>What if angels did not pay attention to<br />
All the things that we wished they would always do<br />
What if happiness came in a cardboard box<br />
Then I think there is something we all forgot<br />
What would happen if presents all went away<br />
Tell me what would you find</p>
<p>You&#8217;d see that today holds something special<br />
Something holy, not superficial<br />
So here&#8217;s to the birthday boy who saved our lives<br />
It&#8217;s something we all try to ignore<br />
And put a wreath up on your door<br />
So here&#8217;s something you should know that is for sure<br />
Christmas must be something more</p>
<p>We get so caught up in all of it<br />
Business and relationships<br />
Hundred mile an hour lives<br />
And it&#8217;s this time of year<br />
And everybody&#8217;s here<br />
It seems the last thing on your mind</p>
<p>Is that the day holds something special<br />
Something holy, not superficial<br />
So here&#8217;s to Jesus Christ who saved our lives<br />
It&#8217;s something we all try to ignore<br />
And put a wreath up on your door<br />
But here&#8217;s something you should know that is for sure<br />
Christmas must be something<br />
Christmas must be something<br />
Christmas must be something more</p>
<p>There&#8217;s gotta be more<br />
There&#8217;s gotta be more</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Viva la Vida &#8211; Coldplay &#8211; Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008)</p>
<p>Released on 25 May 2008. </p>
<p>I used to rule the world<br />
Seas would rise when I gave the word<br />
Now in the morning I sleep alone<br />
Sweep the streets I used to own</p>
<p>I used to roll the dice<br />
Feel the fear in my enemy&#8217;s eyes<br />
Listen as the crowd would sing<br />
&#8220;Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!&#8221;</p>
<p>One minute I held the key<br />
Next the walls were closed on me<br />
And I discovered that my castles stand<br />
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand</p>
<p>I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing<br />
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing<br />
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br />
My missionaries in a foreign field</p>
<p>For some reason I can&#8217;t explain<br />
Once you go there was never<br />
Never an honest word<br />
And that was when I ruled the world</p>
<p>It was the wicked and wild wind<br />
Blew down the doors to let me in<br />
Shattered windows and the sound of drums<br />
People couldn&#8217;t believe what I&#8217;d become</p>
<p>Revolutionaries wait<br />
For my head on a silver plate<br />
Just a puppet on a lonely string<br />
Oh who would ever want to be king?</p>
<p>I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing<br />
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing<br />
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br />
My missionaries in a foreign field</p>
<p>For some reason I can&#8217;t explain<br />
I know Saint Peter won&#8217;t call my name<br />
Never an honest word<br />
But that was when I ruled the world</p>
<p>I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing<br />
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing<br />
Be my mirror, my sword and shield<br />
My missionaries in a foreign field</p>
<p>For some reason I can&#8217;t explain<br />
I know Saint Peter won&#8217;t call my name<br />
Never an honest word<br />
But that was when I ruled the world</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Gift &#8211; Jim Brickman &#8211; Visions of Love (1998)</p>
<p>(with Collin Raye and Susan Ashton)</p>
<p><img src="http://lawrencezhang.com/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/1998-Jim-Brickman-Visions-of-Love.jpg" alt="" title="1998 Jim Brickman - Visions of Love" width="475" height="475" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-303" /></p>
<p>Winter snow is falling down<br />
Children laughing all around<br />
Lights are turning on<br />
Like a fairy tale come true<br />
Sitting by the fire we made<br />
You&#8217;re the answer when I prayed<br />
I would find someone<br />
And baby I found you</p>
<p>All I want is to hold you forever<br />
All I need is you more every day<br />
You saved my heart<br />
From being broken apart<br />
You gave your love away<br />
And I&#8217;m thankful every day<br />
For the gift</p>
<p>Watching as you softly sleep<br />
What I&#8217;d give if I could keep<br />
Just this moment<br />
If only time stood still<br />
But the colors fade away<br />
And the years will make us grey<br />
But baby in my eyes<br />
You&#8217;ll still be beautiful</p>
<p>All I want is to hold you forever<br />
All I need is you more every day<br />
You saved my heart<br />
From being broken apart<br />
You gave your love away<br />
And I&#8217;m thankful every day<br />
For the gift</p>
<p>(Instrumental)</p>
<p>All I want is to hold you forever<br />
All I need is you more every day<br />
You saved my heart<br />
From being broken apart<br />
You gave your love away<br />
I can&#8217;t find the words to say<br />
That I&#8217;m thankful every day<br />
For the gift</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) &#8211; Beyoncé &#8211; I Am&#8230; Sasha Fierce (2008)</p>
<p>Released on October 12, 2008. </p>
<p>All the single ladies (7x)</p>
<p>Now put your hands up<br />
Up in the club, we just broke up<br />
I’m doing my own little thing<br />
you Decided to dip but now you wanna trip<br />
Cuz another brother noticed me<br />
I’m up on him, he up on me<br />
don&#8217;t pay him any attention<br />
cuz i cried my tears, GAVE three good years<br />
Ya can’t be mad at me</p>
<p>[Chorus]<br />
Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it<br />
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it</p>
<p>wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh x2</p>
<p>(Chorus)Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it<br />
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it</p>
<p>I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips<br />
hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans<br />
acting up, drink in my cup<br />
I couldn&#8217;t care less what you think<br />
I need no permission, did I mention<br />
Don&#8217;t pay him any attention<br />
Cuz you had your turn<br />
But now you gonna learn<br />
What it really feels like to miss me</p>
<p>(Chorus)</p>
<p>Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it<br />
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it</p>
<p>woo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh 2x</p>
<p>Don’t treat me to the things of this world<br />
I’m not that kind of girl<br />
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve<br />
Is a man that makes me, then takes me<br />
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond<br />
Pull me into your arms<br />
Say I’m the one you WANT<br />
If you don’t, you’ll be alone<br />
And like a ghost I’ll be gone</p>
<p>All the single ladies (7x)<br />
Now put your hands up<br />
woo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh<br />
oh oh oh 2x</p>
<p>Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it<br />
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it<br />
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it woo oh ooh 2x </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sweet Escape &#8211; Gwen Stefani &#8211; The Sweet Escape (2006)</p>
<p>Released on January 1, 2007.</p>
<p>[Gwen]<br />
If I could escape I would but,<br />
First of all, let me say<br />
I must apologize for acting stank &amp; treating you this way<br />
Cause I&#8217;ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor<br />
It&#8217;s your fault you didn&#8217;t shut the refrigerator<br />
Maybe that&#8217;s the reason I&#8217;ve been acting so cold?</p>
<p>[CHORUS]<br />
If I could escape &amp; recreate a place that&#8217;s my own world<br />
&amp; I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together<br />
Tell me boy now wouldn&#8217;t that be sweet? (sweet escape)<br />
If I could be sweet, I know I&#8217;ve been a real bad girl (I&#8217;ll try to change)<br />
I didn&#8217;t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)<br />
We can make it better, Tell me boy wouldn&#8217;t that be sweet? (sweet escape)</p>
<p>[Akon]<br />
I want to get away, to our sweet escape<br />
I want to get away, yeah</p>
<p>[Gwen]<br />
You held me down, I&#8217;m at my lowest boiling point<br />
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint<br />
Come on let&#8217;s bounce, counting on you to turn me around<br />
Instead of clowning around, let&#8217;s look for some common ground<br />
So baby, times get a little crazy<br />
I&#8217;ve been gettin&#8217; a little lazy, waitin&#8217; on you to come save me<br />
I can see that you&#8217;re angry by the way that you treat me<br />
Hopefully you don&#8217;t leave me, wanna take you with me</p>
<p>[CHORUS]<br />
If I could escape &amp; recreate a place that&#8217;s my own world<br />
&amp; I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together<br />
&amp; tell me boy now wouldn&#8217;t that be sweet? (sweet escape)<br />
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)<br />
I know I&#8217;ve been a real bad girl (I&#8217;ll try to change)<br />
I didn&#8217;t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)<br />
We can make it better<br />
&amp; tell me boy now wouldn&#8217;t that be sweet? (sweet escape)</p>
<p>Woohoo, Yeehoo<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo (If I could escape)<br />
Woohoo, yeehoo (If I could escape)<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo</p>
<p>Cause I&#8217;ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor<br />
It&#8217;s your fault you didn&#8217;t shut the refrigerator<br />
Maybe that&#8217;s the reason I&#8217;ve been acting so cold?</p>
<p>[CHORUS]<br />
If I could escape &amp; recreate a place that&#8217;s my own world<br />
&amp; I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together<br />
&amp; tell me boy now wouldn&#8217;t that be sweet? (sweet escape)<br />

<p>Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away, get away)<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo (To our sweet escape)<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo (I wanna get away)<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo (Yeah)<br />
Woohoo, Yeehoo<br />
