I’d like to remind everyone that my lyric from two days ago is still unanswered; [QUOTE=Smapti] I am aware of that which you confide of with your associates, for they are confederates of my acquaintances and I am thus informed of those goings-on. Allow me to assure you, at no time in the future, at all, shall our previous state of amiable concordance be reinstated. [/QUOTE] I also submit one more; Serving drinks was your occupation when first we met. Having selected you, I transformed you into an entirely diferent and successful person. 1,825 days later, the Earth is your oyster, and it seems that you have had nothing but luck in acquiring fame and popularity; but keep in mind that I created you, and I can also destroy you. ---

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you… _Don’t you want me_ by **Human League** Invocation: That a celestial body which first appears after twilight may illuminate you. Invocation: That in the absence of light, that organ which metaphorically represents integrity will remain steadfast. The pathway that you traverse is devoid of friends. Behold! Your domicile is some distance away. ---

Call me shocked that nobody’s gotten this one yet - it’s only the #2 song in America right now (and it was at #1 last week). “I am aware of that which you confide of with your associates, for they are confederates of my acquaintances and I am thus informed of those goings-on. Allow me to assure you, at no time in the future, at all, shall our previous state of amiable concordance be reinstated.” ---

Anyway, I Googled the top 40 and still don’t know which song you’re referring to. I looked at: Demi Lovato Ellie Goulding Flo Rida Katy Perry David Guetta Pink I even asked my daughter and she said “Jason Mraz?.” I don’t have a clue. However, I could solve lyrics from 30 or 40 years ago. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Anyway, I Googled the top 40 and still don’t know which song you’re referring to. You go talk to your friends talk To my friends talk to me But we are never ever ever ever getting back together –Taylor Swift We are never ever ever ever getting back together. I am prescient in my general attitude and carriage in a way that is highly indicative of a year that is currently nine hundred and ninety-six years off; and which was nine hundred and ninety-nine years hence contemporaneously with my original comment. Unfortunately, you are two millennia belated in that regard. I am in possession of three deep resonant sounds. I should recapitulate and note that said sounds are from an era we have yet to experience. Allow me to retrieve them immediately. ---

OK. Well, thanks to my 14 year old daughter I’ve heard this song about eleventy million times. I never could have made the lyrical brain connection though. ---

Sol smashes the oxidation-damaged manacles of lunar penitentiaries. I amble down the path, as skylines are altered, the sporting competition has commenced. A flutist clad in violet performs a melody. The vocal ensemble croon, sotto voce, a triad of sleep-inducing airs in an archaic language within the red sovereign’s piazza. ---

Forgot to add one: I notice you as you traverse through the city, accompanied by the woman for whom I feel affection, and the thought occurs: Invective upon you!
