Oh, Give Us Money...

Nothing really interesting has been happening...

Today was my first day of classes of my last academic year of undergraduate studies...


Here are the lyrics to one of my FAVORITE songs:

Frankly, Mr Shankly, this position I've held,
it pays my way, and it corrodes my soul.
I want to leave. You will not miss me.
I want to go down in musical history.

Frankly, Mr Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck.
I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck.
I must move fast. You understand me.
I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly.

Fame, fame, fatal fame,
it can play hideous tricks on the brain,
but still I rather be famous
than righteous or holy, any day, any day, any day.

But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled
making Christmas cards with the mentally ill.
I want to live and I want to love.
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of.

Frankly, Mr Shankly, this position I've held,
it pays my way and it corrodes my soul.
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry.
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly.

Frankly, Mr Shankly, since you ask
you are a flatulent pain the arse.
I do not mean to be so rude,
but still, I must speak frankly, Mr Shankly.
Oh, give us money .
