Don't hold your breath
Chorus:You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm comingback Don't hold your breath What you did to me Boy, I can't forget If you think I'm comingback Don't hold your breath
I was under your spell forsuch a long timeCouldn't break the chains You played with my heartTore me apart with all yourlies and games It took all the strength I had But I crawled up on my feetagain Now you're trying to lureme back But no, those days are gone,my friend
I loved you so much that Ithought someday that youcould change But all you brought me wasa heart full of pain
(Repeat Chorus)
Don't hold your breath But you never cared aboutme, none I was worried about you
You took my money And I know that you, youcould kill someone
I gave you everything But nothing was everenough You were always jealousover such crazy stuff
(Repeat Chorus)
Don't hold your breath
Move onDon't look back I jumped off a train Running off the tracks Your days goneFace the facts A bad movie ends And the screen fades toblack
What you did to me Boy, I can't forget If you think I'm comingback (You can't touch me now)
(Repeat Chorus)
You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm comingbackDon't hold your breath What you did to me Boy, I can't forget If you think I'm comingback,Don't hold your breath
Oooh

Jayasri Twins - Rohitha and Rohan - who wereinvolved in the Cricket World Cup song, "LionNation," along with Iraj, will be in Colomboagain, in April, 2011, for the Sinhala and Tamil NewYear celebrations.
Their last trip to Colombo was for the festive peri-od (December,2010/January,2011), and theywere involved inseveral gigs.
Rohitha wenton to say thatDec- Jan. wasvery busy periodfor them. "We dida lot of liveshows around theisland and alsomet up withfriends, andmusic fans. Andwe also spentquite a lot ofenjoyablemoments withour family mem-bers."
He also indicated that both their live reggae openair concerts, at Hikkaduwa and Aluthgama, werepacked, with foreigners and locals.
"We were, in a way, surprised - mostly about theheavy percentage of tourist fans and how they reallyenjoyed singing our own Sinhala original songs ofJayasri during the concerts.
"Some of them had arranged their holiday sched-ules, especially to be in Sri Lanka during our con-certs."
The Jayasri Twins plan to put together the musicvideo for their newly released Sinhala tracks, "Dururatata giya" and "Thatudenawado," next month
(April). There are alsoother collaboration which they intend work-ing on when they are in Colombo in April.
In Europe, Jayasri are doing many prestigiousevents, including the United Nations IAEA Ball atHofburg Palace (for the third consecutive third year),and also the popular Refugees Ball (FluechtlingsBall), in Vienna, Austria.
Canadian rocker, Bryan Adams, who wasfeatured in a mammoth concert in SriLanka, in 2004, is hoping one of his high-
profile peers puts together plans for anotherLive Aid to help the earthquake and tsunamisurvivors in Japan.
Adams was a part of 1985's Live Aid supergig and has since performed at a number ofbig-name charity concerts - and he's waiting toget the call to be part of a show to help raisefunds for relief in Japan.
He says, "I'm wondering when someone isgoing to put something together for Japan... Itwould be great if the rock community gottogether for Japan because Japan has given somuch to all the rockers over the years.Everybody has spent time there."
Japan was hit by a devastating earthquakeand tsunami early this month.
Jet Harris' manager slams Sir CliffThe manager of Jet Harris has slammed Sir
Cliff Richard for failing to offer financial helpto The Shadows star as he battled throat can-cer.
The "Bachelor Boy" hitmaker paid tribute to
his former bassist after his death onFriday, 18th, 2011, but Peter Stockton hasreportedly branded Sir Cliff a "b**odyhypocrite" following his words of condo-lence.
Harris' manager accuses the 70-year-old of passing up the opportunity tocover bills for his pal's medical treat-ment and admits he's "very angry"about the apparent snub.
He said, "This man is meant to be aborn-again Christian and humanitari-an, but he's just a b**ody hypocrite.Cliff was contacted 18 months ago, bya friend of Jet, named Audrey, aboutJet's cancer.
"She explained that Jet didn't havethe necessary funds to get specialisttreatment and wondered if Cliffmight be able to be of assistance insome way or other. It wasn't a directrequest for cash although I suppose the intima-tion was there... Audrey just got a letter backsaying something like, 'I'm sorry to hear aboutJet, I suggest that he contact the MACmillan
can-cer (charity) people forhelp.' It wasn't even signed by Cliff, but insteadby someone in his office, which is absolutelydisgusting."
Right now, ex-Friends, Marlon Amarasekera, is in Colombo,operating as Rebirth. It's a duo setup which he does with hispartner, Janka, who is from Slovakia.It's a good scene, according to Marlon, but he is now keen to
expand."As Rebirth, we have done pretty well in Europe, but I want
something bigger."And something bigger, as Marlon sees it, is a four/five-
piece band."What I have in mind is not just another outfit that will
get on stage and do what most others are doing. No, that'snot my style."
Marlon wants to introduce, to the local showbiz scene,a show band.
"Yes, I'm working hard on putting together an outfitthat WILL entertain - a band that will light up the stagewith their act and performance."
But getting the right guys to fulfill his ambition isnot that easy.
"There are plenty of talented guys in the scene here,but not many are outgoing - the kind I'm looking for.
"I want guys who will not only stand out as musicians, butalso to excel in showmanship."
Although Marlon is based in Switzerland, he wants to oper-ate in Sri Lanka with his show band
"Having been here for quite a long while, performing withRebirth in Colombo, I believe there is plenty of opportunity, inthe local showbiz scene, for a real good show band to shine.And I want to make that happen."
Marlon is working methodically towards his goal and weare bound to see the results sooner than later.
