  • Oh, I'll settle down with some old story

    About a boy who's just like me

    Thought there was love in everything and everyone

    You're so naïve!

    They always reach a sorry ending

    They always get it in the end.

    Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then

    With a winning smile, the boy

    With naivety succeeds

    At the final moment, I cried

    I always cry at endings.

    (Get me away, I'm dying, by Belle and Sebastian)
