When the banks became cathedrals
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Was a long and dark December
from the roof-tops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future’s architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You’d better lie low
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
and the frost became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
are rolled out to fit their rifles
and the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honour
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Well, Loves opposed will unfold
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[Instrumental]
I don’t want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below
So if you love me
Why’d you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won’t you let me know?
If you love me,
Won’t you let me know?

Coisas que é bom saber sobre o petróleo
Income For OPEC To hit nearly $1-trillion: OPEC member nations are expected to rake in almost US$1-trillion this year from their oil exports due to record crude prices, the U.S. government's top energy forecasting agency says.
Net oil export earnings from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries were forecast to soar 45% from last year's record US$676-billion to US$980-billion this year and then fall to US$880-billion in 2009, when oil prices are expected to be lower, the Energy Information Administration said this week. [...]
Much of OPEC's oil will be shipped to the United States, the world's biggest consumer.
The EIA did not make public its oil-export earning estimates for individual OPEC members during 2008. But for last year the EIA said the six largest OPEC oil-export earners were: Saudi Arabia (US$194-billion), United Arab Emirates (US$63-billion), Iran (US$58-billion), Nigeria (US$56 billion), Kuwait (US$55-billion) and Algeria (US$50-billion).
