Makin' Tracks (Final Version)

Lookin' in the mirror, wanna look like my mummy
Lipstick on my face, lookin' very funny
When I grow up, wanna make lots of money
Wanna be a superstar
Wanna be a pop star

High hopes, makin' tracks
Wanna be famous
Don' wanna go back
To bein' nothin',
Nothin' at all
I want loads of fans
And be standin' tall
Everythin' revolvin' 'round ME!

Lookin' in the mirror, fixin' my hair,
Goin' on the stage, all my friends are there!
Livin' my life as if I don' care
Gonna be a superstar
Gonna be a pop star

In a studio makin' tracks
Don' wanna go back
To bein' nothin'
Nothin' at all
I want loads of fans
And be standin' tall
Everythin' revolvin' round ME!

Lookin' in the camera, paps in my face
Night on the town, I act a disgrace
Smokin' the dragon; I like to chase
Wish I was no superstar
Wish I was no pop star

Somebody stop me in my tracks
Do I wanna be famous?
Please let me go back
To bein' nothin'
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me
Where I could be small

Lookin' in the mirror, high as a kite
Snortin' coke, injectin' China White
I begin to feel like Dynamite
Never thought I'd go this far
Do I wanna be a star?

Makin' tracks with a heroin needle
Doin' drugs - an unnecessary evil
It ain't good cos it's illegal
I really wanna go back
To bein' nothin'
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me
Where I could be small

Lookin' in my coffin, tears in their eyes
Deep in their heart it was no surprise
They really wished I had been wise
They never thought I'd go this far
They always thought I'd be a star

Wheels under my casket, making tracks
To the six foot hole, deep and black
They all wanted me to go back
To bein' nothin'
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me
Where I could be small

Making Tracks

Making Tracks

Looking in the mirror, wanna look like mummy

Lipstick on my face, looking very funny

Smiling as the world goes by

Wanna be a super star singer

Wanna be everyone’s winner

High hopes, making tracks

Wanna be famous

Don’ wanna go back

To being nothing

Nothing at all

I want loads of fans

And be standing tall

Everyone looking at ME

Looking in the mirror, fixing my hair

Going on the stage, all my friends are there

Smiling, looking cute

Wanna be a superstar,

Wanna be a pop star

In a studio making tracks

Gonna be famous

Don’ wanna go back

To bein’ nothing

Nothin at all

I want loads of fans

And be standing tall

Everyone staring at ME

Looking in the paper, I see my face

Night on the town, I look a disgrace

No longer smiling

Wish I was no superstar

Wish I was no pop star

Somebody stop me in my tracks

Do I wanna be famous?

Please let me go back

To bein nothin

Nothin at all

Where nobody knew me

Where I could be small

Looking in the mirror, high as a kite

Snorting coke, injecting China White

I feel like I am Dynamite

Never thought I’d go this far

Is this really the life of a star?

In a dark place, feelin small and lonely

Making tracks with a heroin needle

Wanna go back

Wanna be what I was

Wanna be that girl

Playing at being mummy

Life just ain’t funny

Anymore!

Thought!

Taking steps forward takes you into the unknown!

Taking steps back keeps you in your comfort zone!

Be adventurous today and step outside your comfort zone - life is an adventure!

Dermabrasion

OK, not really to do with Home Education, but thought I would post about my home dermabrasion experience!

To start the story off - I used some Avon skincare which reacted badly with my skin - basically it was as if I had been sunburned - I had a blister under each eye (well, it was more on the cheekbone) and my cheeks started to peel and were looking VERY dry! So I phoned a lady I knew who sold Mary Kay and asked if they had anything to restore the moisture in my skin! Hey presto I received a tube of Advanced Moisture Renewal cream on Monday morning in the post. I started using it straight away and by Tuesday evening my skin was great (thank you Mary Kay). Chatting to the consultant a couple of days later, I mentioned that my chin was still a little dry by not as bad as it had been so she sent me a sample of MK's Dermabrasion system (Dermabrasion is for deep exfoliating, I suppose you would call it) - I used it this morning and my skin feels soooo soft and smooth! I'm falling in love with Mary Kay products again - I've ordered the whole basic skincare range for my skin type and am looking forward to receiving it :D

Other ways to improve skin texture:

1. drink plenty of water
2. eat healthily
3. cut down on smoking
4. cut down on drinking alcohol
5. definitely don't take illegal substances ;)
6. exercise frequently to keep the blood flowing
7. protect your skin from UVA and UVB sun rays

Give those a go and GLOW :D
