Rakuten, Inc. (TOKYO:4755) today announced consolidated financial reports (IFRS) for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Rakuten Group achieved revenue of ¥276,602 million, a 14.8% year-on-year increase, in the first half of the current fiscal year. Operating income decreased 5.9% year on year to ¥44,776 million, due to continued advance investments in Internet Services and the impact of a slowdown in the stock market on the securities business, and net income attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to ¥23,086 million, down 9.9% compared to the same period of the previous year.
Qualitative Information, Financial Statements, etc.
1. Qualitative Information Concerning Consolidated Business Results
(1) Business Results for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2014
In the world economy during the first half of the current fiscal year (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014), an improvement trend continued despite the impact of reduced monetary easing by the U.S. and signs of uncertainty regarding the economic outlook in emerging nations. The Japanese economy continued on a moderate recovery track, underpinned by the effect of monetary and financial measures, despite signs of weakening seen in some areas due to the rebound following last-minute demand associated with the consumption tax hike.
Meanwhile, according to the most recent White Paper on Information and Communications released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (*), information and communications technology (ICT) such as Internet and mobile phones is spreading rapidly in emerging nations and newly developing regions as well. The number of Internet users worldwide continues to rise, climbing from 1.02 billion globally in 2005 to 2.92 billion in 2014. The expansion of the ICT market, which continues to show solid growth throughout the world, is considered to be a paradigm shift, and it is believed that this market will take on even greater importance in the future.
Under such an environment, the Rakuten Group further strengthened its promotion of its growth strategy. Specifically, in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, we acquired VIBER MEDIA LTD. (hereinafter "Viber"), which operates a mobile messaging service and VoIP service on a global scale, and made it a wholly owned subsidiary. We believe that Viber's wide customer base will complement the Group's digital strategy, while firming up our platform for global expansion of Internet Services and Internet Finance services. In addition, in Internet Services, the Rakuten Group enhanced its services for smart devices (smartphones and tablet devices), and promoted Rakuten Ichiba's B2B2C marketplace model to the world mainly through large-scale sales events such as the Rakuten Super Sale, while in Internet Finance, the membership base for Rakuten Card expanded further. Through these measures, the Rakuten ecosystem continues to show solid expansion and growth.
(2) Segment Information
Business results for each segment are as follows:
Internet Services
In the Internet Services segment during the first half of the current fiscal year, Rakuten actively worked on strengthening its services for smart devices, promoting personalized marketing which utilizes big data, and executing large-scale sales events such as the Rakuten Super Sale among other initiatives in its core Rakuten Ichiba service. As a result of these initiatives, the number of unique buyers and number of orders performed strongly. Rakuten's domestic e-commerce gross merchandise sales (transaction value) were favorable. In Travel services, demand was strong among corporate customers and for car rental and inbound services.
In its overseas ventures, Rakuten focused on developing its marketplace-model services. Consequently, gross merchandise sales for these services have grown and are contributing to the expansion of operations. With regard to advance investments in future growth fields, management focuses on ROI while strictly controlling costs.
As a result, revenue for the segment rose to ¥165,949 million, a 16.9% year-on-year increase. While profit from existing businesses continue to grow steadily, segment profit declined 17.5% year on year to ¥22,714 million, reflecting ongoing advance investments in future growth fields.

Internet Finance
In the Internet Finance segment during the first half of the current fiscal year, in credit card and related services, shopping transaction value, accompanying an increase in Rakuten Card membership, rose 43.0% over the same period of the previous year. Moreover, solid growth in revolving balances resulted in a rise in income including commission income, and notable growth continues in profit. In securities services, revenue and profit declined compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year when extremely high domestic stock trading value was recorded due to the effect of stock market conditions. However, the balance of investment trusts, which provide stable income, grew steadily. In banking services, solid growth in loan balances led to increased interest income from loans.
As a result of the above, the Internet Finance segment recorded ¥111,143 million in revenue, a 13.6% year-on-year increase, while segment profit decreased 4.2% year on year to ¥20,675 million.

In the Others segment during the first half of the current fiscal year, operating profit remained strong in telecommunications services due to the growth of communication services for smartphones such as Rakuten Denwa, and cloud services. In the professional sports division, sponsor sales and sales of related goods were robust.
In addition, the Group acquired Viber, and made it a consolidated subsidiary at the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
As a result, revenue for the segment was ¥21,451 million, a 33.4% year-on-year increase, while segment profit was ¥2,078 million, a 27.5% year-on-year increase.

2. Qualitative Information about Consolidated Business Forecasts
The outlook for each segment for the current fiscal year is as follows.
Internet Services
Strong growth in revenue is expected for Rakuten Ichiba and Travel services, and corresponding growth in profit is expected. Although it is possible that the growth rate in the second half of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 will be relatively moderate compared to the second half of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, where the first victory sale of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles baseball team in the Nippon Series had considerable effect, the upward trend in gross transaction value is expected to maintain its strong momentum amid market expansion, enhancements to Rakuten Group services, and other factors. Meanwhile, Rakuten plans to make strategic advance investments while emphasizing ROI in new businesses such as contents services and logistics services which are just emerging and where medium- to long-term profit growth is expected.
Internet Finance
In credit card and related services, revenue growth is expected to be high, on a level with that of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Even taking into consideration the rise in marketing costs associated with capturing new members, profit is expected to surpass that of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. In banking services, robust profit is expected following an increase in assets. Meanwhile, it is difficult to make a forecast for securities services due to the substantial impact of stock market conditions.
Stable profit growth is expected in telecommunications services. In the professional sports division, earnings such as ticket revenue and sponsor revenue may be affected by the performance of the Rakuten Eagles. As for Viber, the industry as a whole is in a period of notably high rapid growth, and it is difficult to estimate its future revenue as of this time.

Mystery of Britain's Largest Meteorite Solved
With a weight that rivals a baby elephant, a meteorite that fell from space some 30,000 years ago is likely Britain's largest space rock. And after much sleuthing, researchers think they know where it came from and how it survived so long without weathering away.
The giant rock, spanning about 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) across and weighing 205 pounds (93 kilograms), was likely discovered by an archaeologist about 200 years ago at a burial site created by the Druids (an ancient Celtic priesthood) near Stonehenge, according to said Colin Pillinger, a professor of planetary sciences at the Open University.
Pillinger curated the exhibition "Objects in Space," which opens today (Feb. 9) and is the first time the public will get a chance to see the meteorite. The exhibition will explore not only the mystery that surrounds the origins of the giant meteorite, but also the history and our fascination with space rocks....

Eating to Fight Cancer
You already know that not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and drinking alcohol in moderation are keys to avoiding cancer. But what if you want to take cancer prevention one step further? What else can you do? Simple, say the experts -- eat right.
Though factors outside our control, such as genetics and environment, do play large roles in the development of cancer, a good diet can tip the scales in your favor.
Recommended Related to Cancer
Many of the medical and scientific terms used in this summary are found in the NCI Dictionary of Genetics Terms. When a linked term is clicked, the definition will appear in a separate window. Many of the genes described in this summary are found in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database.

Research shows that dietary patterns are closely associated with the risk for several types of cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that as many as 35% of cancer deaths may be related to dietary factors.
"Diets low in fat and high in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and grain products are associated with reduced risks for many cancers," says Elaine Magee, MPH, RD, author of Tell Me What to Eat to Help Avoid Breast Cancer and Eating Well for a Healthy Menopause, among others. In one recent two-year study, she says, non-melanoma skin cancer patients on a 20%-of-calories-from-fat diet had five times fewer new skin cancers at the end of the study compared with patients in the typical 38%-of-calories-from-fat control group.
In another recent study, says Magee, a lower-fat diet appeared to decrease breast-tissue density in menopausal women, which may decrease breast cancer risk.
Simple Plan
These American Institute for Cancer Research recommendations on diet and lifestyle can provide a starting point for your own cancer-prevention eating plan:
- Don't eat more than 3 ounces of red meat daily -- about the size of a deck of cards.
- Limit fatty foods.
- Avoid salty snacks, and use herbs and spices instead of salt as seasoning.
- Men should limit alcoholic drinks to two per day; women, to one per day.
- Do not eat charred food.
- Avoid being overweight. Limit weight gain during adulthood.
- Take an hour's brisk walk (or get equivalent exercise) daily.
Although Americans are slowly adopting healthier diets, a large gap remains between recommended dietary patterns and what we actually eat. According to the CDC, only about 25% of adults in the U.S. eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Admission is free to the 7 p.m. gathering at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
The story swap will begin with Elaine, a carrier of culture for her tribe, who has exchanged her tales with storytellers in Africa, Japan, Australia, Hawaii and Thailand.
"I am honored to be invited to participate with the storytellers at the Port Angeles Library," said Elaine, who was grand marshal in the 2013 Irrigation Festival parade.
"The loves of my life are my nine grandchildren," including Haqwenith, who goes by Haq.
He grew up listening to her stories and is now a traditional weaver, skipper of a canoe and lead singer for the Jamestown tribe.
After the Grinnells' stories will come a refreshment break; then the open mic section follows until

Elaine offered words of encouragement to those who might share a story at the library — or in private.
"It is my desire for each person to become a storyteller," she said.
"Record your life for those coming behind you. Maybe you think you don't have anything to say, but you are so important to those in your family.
"And your story should be told. You do not have to 'tell' in public, but at home, driving or written in a book. Life is good."

The Parkhead club have been angered by attempts to lure the Englishman, who was this week named in Roy Hodgson's squad for the Three Lions up-coming World Cup qualifiers with Moldova and Ukraine.
Forster has already been heavily linked with a move to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, but Hoops boss Neil Lennon sees the former Newcastle stopper as integral to his plans for the club's Champions League clashes with AC Milan, Barcelona and Ajax.
The 25-year-old was a key figure in last year's run to the last 16 in the competition and Lennon insists Foster is going nowhere.
The Celtic manager told the Scottish Daily Mail: "Fraser's not for sale. We had no confirmed bids for him. We have actually written a letter to one club, just warning them off basically."
Celtic on Friday announced the capture of Nir Biton after the Israel Under-21 captain completed his £1million move from FC Ashdod.
Schalke striker Teemu Pukki is due to confirm his move to Glasgow's East End on Saturday after a fee of around £3million was agreed between the clubs.
A left-back is also on Lennon's wanted list and a successful pursuit would take the number of summer signings Lennon has made to seven after the captures of Amido Balde, Virgil van Dijk, Derk Boerrigter and Steven Mouyokolo.
But the Celtic boss admits adding to his squad has been a frustrating process.
"We've been looking everywhere, all over the world, really - South America, Canada, places like that and sometimes it's very difficult to do deals," he said.
"Sometimes you think you're there and then the price goes up, another agent gets involved and you end up talking to three different agents. It just becomes a bit of a muddle.
"We do our business cleanly, simply and quickly, but sometimes that can't be the case. I think there's money there to spend, it's just about trying to get the right player in for the right price."

Question Asked:
My car started to hesitate during freeway driving the other day. I have been watching it but I am not finding any common circumstance in which it does this. No error codes have been given, I just bought a new battery, no difference between day/night behavior nor uphill/downhill, I just started testing to see if the little switch (performance/normal) makes it happen less or more and so far it seems like less when in perf. position. It also seems like I am getting better gas milage but I could be mistaken. Any help is appreciated.

This serves the Bank well bloorie thieves !!
Pearl Thusi has revealed that she was originally a contender for the 2015 South African of The Year .
Judge WRC Prinsloo on Friday said the Land Bank had charged compound interest from its clients instead of simple interest.
The farmers had sued the bank for the overcharging of interest on their agricultural loans. The Land Bank also filed special pleas of prescription in certain matters - accounts that have been repaid by farmers more than three years prior to the date the summonses had been issued.
Economist Dawie Roodt testified that he could not find any market-related reasons why the Land Bank increased interest rates "out of the norm".

Client Testimonial
I had no particular problem when I first visited Dr. Calhoun, but wanted to remain active in retirement. I am a recreational runner, play pickleball, and try to participate in active events. Not only did I have no more pain after my adjustment, but I felt great afterward. I definitely saw a huge difference. They made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better.

I am a parent at MCC and I find Carol George out of line!!! There was just as many problems at the center when Adela was running the program. I have been with MCC for almost 8 years. Natalya Jones is doing a great job and we cannot blame her for the" inefficiencies" that are taking place with center. If anyone is to blame lets put it back on Carol as she runs the entire program and if she was involved more not everything would be falling onto Natalya. I am grateful that we have someone like Natalya in this position as she knows exactly what to do when issues arise with all parents, and or children. My children adore her and I would not change anything with the manager but rather our un-involved director, Carol George!!!!

Cooked a wonderful meal, the house was beautiful and the view was amazing! We'll definitely go back next year, her and the family were lovely!
Jande and Marie were fantastic hosts both pre and during our visit making sure we had all the information we needed and that everything was perfect in the loft. The apartment is just incredible and exactly as shown in the pictures, fantastic spaces, beautiful light, gorgeous serene garden and during our visit it was really hot in Antwerp so the pool was well used especially by the kids. It was just delightful to stay there. The location was also great as while it was still very close to everything it also felt living local. highly recommended.
Vrijdagmiddag werden we hartelijk ontvangen door de moeder van Jande. Het appartement dat vroeger onderdeel was van een notariskantoor is smaakvol verbouwd (strak met behoud van enkele details) en voorzien van alle comfort. Een heerlijke plaats om in een oase van rust midden in de stad Antwerpen te verblijven. Het zwembad in de achtertuin geeft het een extra dimensie.
Wat een verrassing achter die voordeur. We zijn met 7 vriendinnen voor een weekend in Antwerpen geweest en hadden ons geen betere locatie en uitvalsbasis kunnen wensen.
Jande's moeder Marie gaf ons bij aankomst een prima rondleiding door dit prachtige huis. We hebben genoten van de prachtige lichtinval door de glazen pui en het prachtig uitzicht op de tuin. Het is een geweldig huis waar je je thuis voelt door een goede, smaakvolle combinatie van strak, modern met oude elementen. De tuin is heerlijk en van het zwembad hebben we ook gebruik kunnen maken gelukkig. De locatie zo dicht bij het centrum is prima te lopen, maar ook de tram is dichtbij. Het is een fijn huis met een goede locatie voor vrienden(innen)groepen, maar ook een gezin. Jande en mama Marie, bedankt voor een heerlijk weekend in jullie schitterende huis!
The loft is amazing! Exactly like on the pictures. The whole loft is decorate with taste, the kitchen is wonderful, the beds are comfortable and the swimming pool is just perfect! We were 10 friends staying there and we had a wonderfull WE!
Warmly recommended!
We verbleven hier o der collega's voor een brainstorm sessie. Was een geweldige locatie!
De kat is top
What a stunning & beautiful apartment over three floors. There is plenty of space for two couples with children & the outdoor space with pool & garden is delightful & a real bonus! Everything is there that you need & Jande & her mother around if you need any help with anything. The old town is only 4 stops on the tram which is close to the apartment & the central train station is only 3 stops so perfect for getting around!
We will definitely be back to Antwerp to stay again!

12 Pieces of Romantic Advice for Gwyneth Paltrow from Her Movies
Originally posted 03/26/2014 12:35PM
For the first time in a decade, Gwyneth Paltrow is back on the market.
In a joint letter posted to her lifestyle site GOOP, Paltrow and husband Chris Martin announced a "conscious uncoupling", saying that "with hearts full of sadness ... we have decided to separate."
While Paltrow endures what she calls a "difficult time," soon the day will arrive when the Shakespeare in Love Academy Award-winner decides she's ready to begin dating again. And when that day comes, she's going to need some advice. Luckily, she's got the best source there is – her own filmography.
In movies both romantic (Bounce) and ... otherwise (Se7en), Paltrow's characters have learned valuable lessons about lust, trust and the nature of love. Below, a selection of wisdom from the Book of Paltrow.
Kumar Pallana, of The Terminal and The Royal Tennenbaums, Dies at 94
Originally posted 10/18/2013 01:30PM
Kumar Pallana, an Indian character actor with small parts in movies such as The Terminal and The Royal Tennenbaums, died suddenly Oct. 10 at the home he shared with his son in Oakland, Calif. He was 94.
"He lived life to the fullest," said his daughter Sandhya Pallana of Dallas, who confirmed the death to the Associated Press. "It was really wonderful how well he was received and how well he was liked and that people appreciated his unique and creative style."
Pallana was a yoga instructor living in Dallas in the mid-1990s when he met Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, who were working on their breakout movie Bottle Rocket, the Los Angeles Times reported. They cast Pallana as a bumbling safe cracker.
His thick accent and diminutive stature combined to help him steal scenes and earned him parts in more films, including three more directed by Anderson and one by Steven Spielberg.

Graphic Design & Photo Editing/Manipulation
United States - Last active: 2 months ago - Tests: 3 - Portfolio: 8
Welcome to my profile! My name is Christina and I am a young, passionately driven individual with strong interests in graphics and photo editing. I started using Adobe Photoshop when I was 15 and fell head-over-heels with the program, it was love at first Filter. Since then I've have grown tremendously, I can: enhance photos, add or remove backgrounds/objects, patch blotches and tears, manipulate colors, and more. Unlike Photoshop, I was introduced to Adobe Illustrator later in life when I began college, but I quickly fell in love with vectors as well. I've drawn all my life, so when I discovered Illustrator I was thrilled I could now bring my creations to life. As a creative person I take pride in my work and I aim for perfection with every project. I like to communicate with clients so that I can get a good understanding of their needs and we can be on the same page through out the process. My goal with every project is to satisfy the needs of my client and provide 110%. Thank you for reading, I hope to hear from you soon.

A few implications of the 'sister-club' relationship between City and NYC FC
May 21, 2013, 2:05 PM EDT
For ages countries like England, Spain and Italy have been taking the proverbial piss out of soccer in the United States.
They laugh at our men's national team as we struggle to qualify for World Cups in a CONCACAF group that lacks the quality of European competition. They laugh at our domestic league, equating it to the second or third divisions of European football. And they discount our incredible achievements in the women's game where we have won two World Cups and four Olympic gold medals.
But it's all good.
Because we, as Americans, know it's coming.
We know that soccer is set to explode in America.
Whether its Major League Soccer expanding from 10 clubs in 2004 to 19 in 2012, five Premier League clubs being purchased by American business owners, or the World Cup and Premier League broadcast rights packages tripling in value between offerings, the writing is on the wall: America is on the precipice of becoming a soccer-crazed nation.
And with Tuesday's announcement that Manchester City and the New York Yankees have combined forces to create New York City Football Club, we have yet another ground-breaking moment in U.S. soccer history.
By forming NYC FC, City and the Yankees have created what is essentially a 'sister-club' relationship – an innovative bond between a Premier League and MLS club. The implications are numerous.
First and foremost, it means that two of the world's richest sports teams, each flush with billions of dollars, now have a vested interest in MLS and U.S. Soccer. This interest will translate to better facilities, coaching, player wages and youth programs. Oh yeah, and that elusive first club academy where players are educated and live together in the mold of La Masia? You better believe that's now a reality.
(MORE: Why MLS was so focused on New York as the 20th market)
Second, the 'sister-club' bond represents a definitive player pipeline between the U.S. and England. That means City's top youth prospects will spend seasons cutting their teeth in MLS. This will help further reduce the league's stigma of being a retirement hotbed while providing MLS fans with looks at the future stars of European soccer. But the pipeline won't just flow one way. With City on board our top homegrown youth products will now have a much greater opportunity to make it in England.
Third, the 'sister-club' relationship will do wonders for the NYC FC and City brands. Fans in Manchester will be more likely to support NYC FC while fans in New York will have a Premier League club they feel connected to. This translates into greater exposure for MLS in England and the Premier League in America.
The possibilities are endless. Believe it.

Bloomsbury £7.99
Bits of Me Are Falling Apart, By William Leith
Sunday 19 July 2009
William Leith was unhappy as a teenager, lived well in his twenties and entered a period of denial in his thirties. At the start of his humorous, refreshingly honest memoir, he is 47 and suffering a midlife crisis. He wakes in his office, which is also his home, as his relationship has broken down. He feels that his body and mind are breaking down, too. He vacillates between despair and "little spiky balls of hope".
He reassesses personal and professional values. Working in LA, the journalist finds himself "prying into the pain of an actress, hoping to find a route to more pain, pain that would be valuable to me". It is his own pain he depicts most effectively, chronicling the loneliness of being a single dad. He is brilliant at depicting his "psychological symptoms" – the sense that his mind isn't working properly; that his thoughts are elusive; that nature has finished with him.
He has a critical detachment from his situation, at one point wondering, for example, if he's becoming like the mad, middle-aged writer in The Shining. Drawing on ideas from physics, culture and literature, Leith probes the mysterious mechanisms which make tiny particles – and people – stick together and fall apart.

Lately, Kanye West's twin–the depressed rapper inside of him, who seeks to spread gloom upon the universe– has been bursting at the seams, leaving Yeezy scratching at the walls of his soul. It's almost like Kanye is two different people. At times, he is likable and humble, like when he called Beyonce's "Single Ladies" clip the "greatest video of all time." Sure he had just snatched the mic from Taylor Swift and ruined the 17-year-old's MTV VMA moment, but we'll blame that on the devil's juice–Hennessey.
I thought Kanye looked happier these days, ever since he and Kim Kardashian announced that they are expecting a child–maybe I'm assuming. Love should be a heavy enough emotion to at least force a smile but it seems that Kanye is haunted by these invisible demons.
A recent interview with DJ Enuff raised a red flag in my head. When asked about his feelings regarding MTV's "Hottest MCs in the Game" list and joining the ranks at number seven, the "Mercy" rapper said:
"Yeah, #7 bothers me. I think that [Lil] Wayne is the number one rapper in the world."
Immediately I thought, he must not have heard the Emmet Till line that Wayne just dropped. He continued:
"They didn't like the 'Cruel Summer' album. And I'm like, 'That's a compilation. It ain't all rappers on G.O.O.D. Music.' 'Cruel Summer' got 'Don't Like (Remix),' 'Mercy,' 'Cold,' 'New God Flow' all on one joint, you know. And 'Clique,' and 'Clique!' You can't name five records like that on no album. But they wanna diss me and be like, 'He did "Cruel Summer" and he can't say he ain't part of it 'cause he's on eight records…' Like they wanna try to—ain't nobody bringin' up that "Diamonds" remix verse. There wasn't no verse in a year that's f**kin' with that verse. It's definitely not based on a body of work, but possibly could just be overall rap, MC swag. Sean is a great rapper, period. It checks all the boxes. What happens is with them, with these types of judges and people who review it, when you come in, I had like the pink polo and the backpack and I'm checkin' all the boxes of that Tribe Called Quest era and J. Dilla and all that, so they wanna champion it. They don't like Givenchy Kanye. They don't like Kanye in a kilt. They don't like Kanye in a relationship."
Intense. We are well aware that Kanye is confident…OK, arrogant! But, there is seriously something going on in that brain of his!

Fine Gael & Labour politicians abandon yet more pre-election promises. This time in relation to the restoration of breast cancer services to Sligo General Hospital within 100 days of taking office.
In the run-up to the general election in the twenty six counties earlier this year, the usual rash of political promises were made by those hoping to be elected to Leinster House. In the Sligo/North Leitrim constituency, probably the one single issue that was to the fore in that campaign and indeed throughout the past couple of years, has been the removal of breast cancer services from Sligo General Hospital and the campaign to have it returned.

Sunsets on Empire Lyrics
Artist: Fish
Album: Sunsets on Empire
And then it was over and we took our applause.
We passed the peace pipe and thought no more
About the scenes that were missing, about the lines we had crossed.
And we smiled at each other and knew that the moment was lost.
I let you snuff out the candles, I let you blow out the flame,
And I knew that this time it would never be the same.
The smiles you had wavered, tears welled in your eyes
And I looked and I knew that this magic it was only a sign
For Sunsets on Empire it was only a dream.
I knew that it was broken when I heard you scream
I know you can't believe it. It meant nothing at all.
And we looked at each other and we smiled and the moment was gone.
Sunsets on Empire is this really the end
Sunsets on Empire left with a friend
Could have been a lover, could have been a wife
But when it comes right down to it all I want is a life,
Just a life.
You said it never mattered. You said it's just a thrill.
You couldn't beat it. Another bitter pill.
It never was a habit. A one off just for sure.
You never really thought it out but I hoped that one time
That you'd come back for more.
Sunsets on Empire that's where I am
Sunsets on Empire that's all we have.
To face a new beginning when you're so close to the end
And you looked at me gently and smiled,
Would you still be my friend?
You started to smile
Is this really the end?
Is this really the end?
Sunsets on Empire
The sun sets on Empire
