Graham's tweets

This week's topic is about a kind of Graham's anti-twitter (does this word exist in english?). I've got the pleasure of finding this:

http://twitter.com/GrahamSpeak

A twitter supposedly created just for fun. It is mainly focused on analizing Graham's writing style and also the riddles derived from some of his cryptic tweets on his official twitter. Simply hilarious :D

One of my favourite tweets...


tek /tayk/ (verb): a derivative of 'to take.' "behave tonight or i'll tek me slipper off to ya!"

Mountain of regret

This is one of my favourite Graham songs ever and I'd like to share this video with all of you who read The Kiss of morning, specially the spanish speakers. Isn't it a nice song? Enjoy it!


All my lifetime I've done wrong
Never thinking I belonged
And my problems stay with me
'Cause my thoughts lie with she

She was my girlfriend though I was mean
Always there in my hour of need
I took for granted her gentleness
And have to live without her sweet caress

And as I light me a cigarette
My heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest
There's a mountain of regret

I turned my back on her true love
All my friends and the Lord above
And my drinking dragged me down
To the bars in cabbage town

And as I light me a cigarette
My heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest
There's a mountain of regret

And as I sit here feeling low
Wondering why she had to go
I know, I see through my disgrace
The perfect beauty of her face

And as I light me a cigarette
My heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest
There's a mountain of regret
