This could be a great fall-back option for my 'it's Friday night and I'm really tired and it's been hot all week' moods in the future. Let's see, shall we? In the meantime, here is a mild diversion.
The problem-with-you speech
You gave me was fine
I liked the theories about my 'little stage',
And I swore I was listening
But I started drifting
Around the part about me acting my age.
Ben Folds Five, Best Imitation of Myself
He learnt Latin
Held his head up high
And he hated the Liberals
Though he didn't know why
The Whitlams, Gough
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
The Beatles, A Day in the Life
If we live to see the other side of this
I will remember your kiss
So do it with your mouth open
And take your foot off of the brake
For Christ's sake!
The Mountain Goats, Dilaudid
And of course, how could I not mention...
All my friends know I tried
So forget about it, girl
Even I don't know why
I can't just stay the course
Keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right
My head's like a kite,
Cause all my thoughts run astray
And I'm a walking cliche
When such a creature I sight.
The Shins, Turn A Square
