So long, London (x3)
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
Oh, the tragedy
So long, London
You'll find someone
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she's heard great things about
I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Hеath
I stopped CPR, after all, it's no use
Thе spirit was gone, we would never come to
And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free
For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I'll find someone
And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it
My white-knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air when you're not sure if he wants to be there
So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I'd go 'fore I'd self implode?
'Fore I'd have to go be free?
You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
And I'm just getting color back into my face
I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for
So long, London
Had a good run
A moment of warm Sun
But I'm not the one
So long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
You'll find someone
Hasta luego, Londres (x3)
Vi en mi mente luces tenues a través de la niebla
Mantuve la calma y cargué con el peso de la grieta
Lo apretaba con más fuerza cada vez que él se alejaba
Mi columna se partió de cargarnos cuesta arriba
Mojada a través de mi ropa, mis huesos cansados tomaron frío
Dejé de intentar hacerlo reír, dejé de intentar perforar su caja fuerte
Pienso ¿cuánta tristeza creías que tenía, creías que tenía en mí?
Oh, la tragedia
Hasta luego, Londres
Encontrarás a alguien
No opté por ser aislada
Fundé el club del que ella ha oído hablar muy bien
Dejé todo lo que sabía, tú me dejaste en la casa cerca del Heath
Detuve el RCP, después de todo, es inútil
El espíritu se fue, nunca volveríamos a él
Y me molesta que me hayas dejado darte toda esa juventud gratis
Por tanto tiempo, Londres
Puntadas deshechas
Dos tumbas, un arma
Encontraré a alguien
Y dices que abandoné el barco
Pero me estaba hundiendo con él
Mis nudillos blancos de aferrarse
Tan fuerte a tu silencioso resentimiento
Y mis amigos dijeron que no está bien estar asustada
Cada día de una historia de amor
Cada respiro se siente como el aire más pesado
Cuando no estás segura de si él quiere estar ahí
Entonces, cuánta tristeza creías que tenía, creías que tenía en mí?
¿Cuánta tragedia?
¿Qué tan bajo creíste que llegaría antes de implosionar?
¿Antes de tener que irme y ser libre?
Juraste que me amabas, pero ¿dónde estaban las pistas?
Morí en el altar esperando por la prueba
Nos sacrificaste a los dioses de tus días más azules
Y estoy recuperando el color en mi cara
Estoy muy enojada porque amé este lugar
Hasta luego, Londres
Tuve un buen recorrido
Un momento de cálido sol
Pero no soy la elegida
Hasta luego, Londres
Puntadas deshechas
Dos tumbas, un arma
Encontrarás a alguien
Madagascar – When to go
Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November to April, and a cooler dry season
between May and October. However, different parts of the country have very different weather.
The east coast is hotter and wetter, with up to 4000mm of rainfall per year. In the rainy season, there are
strong winds, and these can cause a lot of damage. Avoid visiting eastern Madagascar between January
and March because the weather can make road travel very difficult. The dry season is cooler and more
pleasant.
The high, central part of the country is much drier and cooler. About 1,400 mm of rain falls in the rainy
season, with some thunderstorms, but the summer is usually sunny and dry, but it can be cold, especially
in the mornings, with freezing showers, and it may snow in mountain areas above 2,400m, and even stay
there for several days.
The west coast is the driest part of the island. Here, the winter months are pleasant with little rain, cooler
temperatures and blue skies. The summers can be extremely hot, especially in the southwest. This part
of the country is semi-desert, and only gets around 300mm of rain per year.
1. Madagascar has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
2. There is more rain in January than in June.
