Scarlett Johansson's “Falling Down” Music Video and Lyrics

Scarlett Johansson’s first music video “Falling Down,” off her debut studio album, Anywhere I Lay My Head.

The cover song, which has David Bowie also on vocals, is originally on Tom Waits‘ album Big Time.

The album is set for release on May 20.


"Falling Down" LYRICS

I have come 500 miles
Just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg
Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes
I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck
He must fall in the sea
And she wants you
To steal and get caught
For she loves you
For all that you are not
When you're
Falling down, falling down
When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses
Don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you
For standing so tall
Go on and take a swig
Of that poison and like it
And don't ask
For silverware
Don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear
To the ground
You know you will be
Hearing that sound
Falling down
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

Go on down and see
That wrecking ball
Come swinging on along
Everyone knew
That hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows
They took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away
In a couple of days
Now someone yell timber
And take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down
Here on the ground
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Someone's falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

William Martinez's Daughter slapped an acts of lasciviousness case against Baron Geisler

Angry and a protective William Martinez arrives at the Philippine National Police Women and Children's Desk in Camp Crame with his 21-year old daughter Patricia to file a complaint against young actor/ex-Pinoy Big Brother alumna Baron Geisler for acts of lasciviousness.

As explained, Martinez said Geisler allegedly touched the breast of his daughter and told her to have sex with him. Geisler was allegedly drunk at the time.

Baron Geisler on the other hand denies the allegations(in a abs-cbn news interview) and he swear that he can't do such a thing.

If you watched the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2, Baron shows his lack of discipline and his on the top attitude problem especially when he is drunk. That guy really has a alcohol problem.

Even before this incident happened, his fellow artist and director in his indie film also complained about his behavior.

Baron has a very low integrity that caused him the trust of his fellow artist and friends.


William Martinez said in his interview:

"Ilang araw na umiiyak ang anak ko. Na-trauma siya. Ang anak ko mismo ang gustong lumaban (My daughter cried for several days. She wanted to pursue the fight)," he said.

"Sinabihan ko na siya (Geisler). When he is drunk ginagawa niya lagi 'yan. Kaibigan siya ng asawa ko, kaibigan ko siya (I told [Geisler]. When he is drunk, he always does this. He is a friend of my wife, he is my friend). This is the only way for him to learn his lesson. Not just him but the other men who do things like this," he said.

Ooh ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[Verse 1]
You look so dumb right now,
Standin' outside my house,
Tryin' to apologize,
You’re so ugly when you cry,
Please, just cut it out.

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you’re sorry 'cause you’re not,
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught,
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it’s over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh ohh.

[Verse 2]
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone),
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on (come on),
Talkin’ 'bout girl, I love you, you’re the one,
This just looks like the re-run,
Please, what else is on.

[Chorus]
And don’t tell me you’re sorry 'cause you’re not (mmm),
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught (mmm),
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it’s over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow, ohh.

[Bridge]
And the award for the best liar goes to you (goes to you),
For makin' me believe that you could be paithful to me,
Let's hear your speech out,
How about a round of applause,
A standin' ovation.

[Chorus]
But you put on quite a show (oh),
You really had me goin',
But now it’s time to go (oh),
Curtain’s finally closin',
That was quite a show (oh),
Very entertainin',
But it’s over now (but it's over now),
Go on and take a bow.

But it's over now.

"Teenage Love Affair" LYRICS

Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can u pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreaming about you all day
In school can't concentrate
Want have your voice in my ear
'Till mama comes and says its too late
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor stair case
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I cant say
Want you to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I wrote your name in my book
You last name my first
I'm your Mrs.

Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there somewhere to hide
I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair

Hey boy
You know I really like being with u
Just hanging out with you is fun

So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too boy
Third base
Better pump the breaks
oh baby slow down
I gotta go home now

Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby

Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
my first teenage love affair

My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gunna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
