Heart of glass, by Blondie
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

March 17th is well known around the world as Saint Patrick's Day. But who was
St. Patrick and why is his day celebrated on this date?
He was a missionary way
back in the 4th century who converted the Irish to Christianity and March 17th is the
day that he died.
The History
Saint Patrick was born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His real name
is believed to be Maewyn Succat (he took on Patrick, or Patricus,
after he became a priest). When he was 16, he was kidnapped by a group of
Irish raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland.
During his six-year captivity as a shepherd, he began to have religious
visions and found strength in his faith. He finally escaped to France and
became a priest - and later a bishop. When he was about 60 years old, Saint Patrick
returned to Ireland to spread the Christian word. He used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed
clover, as a metaphor to explain the Christian concept of God (Father, Son and
Holy Spirit).
People give St. Patrick credit for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland but the truth is that snakes are not indigenous to Ireland and it is believed that snakes were probably a metaphor meaning pagans.
Just an Irish Holiday?
The first St. Patrick's Day parade didn't take place
in Ireland, but actually in New York City on March 17, 1762.
Now, over 100 US cities and all over the world have St. Patrick's Day
parades but New York's Parade is still the largest .
Famous sites and landmarks around the world take on a greenish glow,
such as Rio’s Christ the Redeemer, The Colisseum, The White House Fountain, The
Empire State Building and The Chicago River
Chicago has a unique tradition of dyeing the river
green. To know more about this tradition and how it started in 1962 clickHERE
Why Green?
It is one of the colours of the Irish flag
It is the colour of the shamrock, one of the symbols
of Ireland
Ireland is a green island. In fact it is called the
Emerald isle because of its lush vegetation
According to the traditional
Irish legend, wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns
Leprechauns are Irish fairies. They are solitary creatures who spend their time
mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and if they
are captured by a human they may grant three wishes in exchange for their
freedom. To know more about leprechauns click HERE
