**S** o any of you don’t wonder, here’s the (partial) lyrics to the song stuck in my and FallFasts heads: (non sequential)

Aishiteta to nakeku niwa  
Amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta  
Mada kokoro no hokorobi wo  
Iyasenu mama kaze ga fuiteru  
Hitotsu no mede asu wo mite  
Hitotsu no mede kinou mitsumeteru  
Kimi no ai no yurikagode  
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara

Kawaita hitomi de dareka naite kure

The real folk blues  
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritai dake  
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta  
Jinsei mo waruku wa nai  
Ichido kiri de owaru nara

**U** ’ve now got it stuck in my head too - 59th Street Bridge Song, the Harpers Bizzare version, not Paul Simon’s.

Feelin’ Groovy! Yikes! Back to work. _cracks whip_
