Saint Livinus (c. 580 – 12 November 657), also Livinus of Ghent, was an apostle in Flanders and Brabant, venerated as a saint and martyr in Catholic tradition and more especially at the Saint Bavo Chapel, Ghent. His feast day is 12 November.
Details of the biography of Deventer saint Lebuinus were used to compile the Passio of St Livinus.
The legend goes that Livinus was born from Irish nobility. Upon studies in England, where he visited Saint Augustine of Canterbury, he returned to Ireland. He later went on a peregrinatio Domini and left Ireland for Ghent (Belgium) and Sealand (Netherlands) where he preached. During one of his sermons, Livinus was attacked in the village of Esse, near Geraardsbergen by a group of pagans who cut out his tongue and severed his head.
The villages of Sint-Lievens-Esse, where he was murdered, and Sint-Lievens-Houtem, where he was buried, were named after him.
His remains were transferred to Ghent around the turn of the millennium, but went missing and are believed to have been destroyed in 1578 during the Second Iconoclasm.
Gotta 3 second memory
I live for now and not what is or isn't to be
Yeah that’s me
I gotta 3 second memory
Whatever you tell me...
Oh it's gone in 3...c'est la vie
Well I never get the feeling
There's anything that I’m missing
I'm way too busy living my life
It's such a strife
I don't try to think about
The ins or the outs
I'm way to busy trying to figure out the here and now
What’s that all about?
If I gotta choose
I get all confused
Haven’t got a clue
Of anything that's new
Or who the hell is who
If I gotta choose
I get all bemused
The moment I loose... ohhhh
The time to just muse
Just be amused
I never get the feeling
There's anything that I’m missing
I'm way too busy living my life
Life such a strife
I don't try to think about
The ins or the outs
I'm way to busy trying to figure out the here and now
What’s that all about?
I got no plans
For my life span
Whenever I can
Yeah I flim and I flam
Yeah that's ying and a yang
I got no plans
'cus I don't understand
Whenever I can
Ohhh I sing a song that I sang
The one I just began
I never get the feeling
There's anything that I’m missing
I'm way too busy living my life
It's such a strife
I don't try to think about
The ins or the outs
I'm way too busy trying to figure out the here and now
Oh what’s that all about?
Do be doo
Do do do do dooo... ohhh
Do be do
Do be do be dooo... ohhh
I never get the feeling
There's anything that I’m missing
I'm way too busy living my life
Life is such a strife
I don't try to think about
The ins or the outs
I'm way too busy trying to figure out the here and now
Yeah, what’s that all about?
Do be doo
Do do do do dooo
