Sorry to hijack, but what song is this?

And, I agree with everything said in this thread, from the kudos to famiglia **Bus Guy** to the dissing of the clearly keniving **Old Flame**.

It’s from a song called Fountain of Sorrow by Jackson Browne.

You can find more lyrics from the album [here](http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/lfts.html)

I hope the link works…

Excellent work **MBG**. Had you been _my_ wife meeting an old flame for coffee…well. I can almost hear it, “It meant nothing! We were both just curious!”

Outstanding work facing the dragon and dealing it a mighty blow. Not to be judgmental, but Susan’s a person who simply does not value or respect marriage. She cheated on her husband, she would have you cheat on your wife. What could she do for you except service your dick and the fragments of ego she’d allow you to cling to. She’s a beast, dude. To “wonder” is not to “do.” The ability to leave a reality in one’s head is what seperates us from animals.

Oh, great. Mr Bus Guy just gets over this thing with his old flame, and now Mrs Bus is after **jlzania’s** heart. This is like a soap opera.

I just can’t jump on your bandwagon, **Mr Bus Guy**.

I mean, _good on ya_ and all that for being a stand-up kinda guy and honest with the wife and all.

But… I TOLD ya…

Ya shouldn’ta gone.  
Ya shouldn’ta told.

Something about this just gives me a little uneasy feeling.
