Little drops of rain Whisper of the pain Tears of love Lost in the days gone by.
There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.
You can't even imagine how it felt to have a cassette that you could take with you with a microphone so you could put down an idea and not have to hum it a million times to remember what it was.

To rock isn't necessarily to cavort.
