No I haven’t, but one of my best friends has a thing for Mr. Bloom.

From Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s _[Pirates](http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/SongUnid/67DF2EE420EA1A4448256AB8002484EE)_":

This company will return one day  
Though we feel your tears  
It’s the price we pay  
For there’s prizes to be taken  
And glory to be found  
Cut free the chains  
Make fast your souls  
We are eldorado bound  
I will take you  
For always, forever, together  
Until Hell calls our names
