A note about two songs

What great resolution. This is the kind of resolve that can get Iraq back on the track to democracy. And it is found in the lyrics of two songs.

++++++++

I am not sure if the name of the band is grammatically correct. Not that it matters of course. Nobody actually cares. Nobody is that pedantic. Or is it?

Jimmy Eat World. Shouldn't it be Jimmy Eats World instead?

For Me This Is Heaven contains a line that is found as a derivative in the song, Konstantine by Something Corporate.

The first star you see may not be a star.


I wonder (How I wonder what you are!).

The song then continues to ask what else can one do but wait for another. Then you decide if it is. And until there is another, and it takes courage to decide if it is, supposedly. And you might lose yourself in the comfort of having a starless night.

However you might want that to mean.

But until such time comes, she is happy now. "If not now, when?", she asks.

And that is what gets her through it.
And until the next star appears, she remains an angel for you.

++++++++

There is no moral dilemma for Jose Gonzalez when he needs to get ahead with his life.

He will ignore your moaning and poke your body into your cold grave. To save himself of any trouble. Sympathy isn't hard to "cough up" but it costs.

These days are cold. Numbers rule.

Better fit in the mould.
