I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.

He’s a music man and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town with  
The big trombones and the rat-a-tat drums,  
Big brass bass, big brass bass, and the piccolo,  
The piccolo with uniforms, too with a shiny gold braid  
On the coat and a big red stripe runnin . . .

Well, I don’t know much about bands  
But I do know you can’t make a living selling big trombones, no sir.  
Mandolin picks, perhaps and here and there a Jew’s harp …

No, the fellow sells bands, Boys bands.  
I don’t know how he does it but he lives like a king and he dallies  
And he gathers and he plucks and shines and when the man dances,  
Certainly boys, what else?  
The piper pays him! Yes sir.

Hey, I just got some bad news. It’s a telex from the head office in New York. They received our request, but due to a new computer system download and overhaul at their office… they won’t be able to send us the invoices from Ajax Warehouse for another month - four to six weeks.
