Hey Steve I really like this one - the characters have a real quality about them. Nice - the first line is great; reminds me of Paul Simon. Do you listen to much of his stuff?

<off-topic>
I have tested the lyrics forum, and it is broken.... feel free to carry on posting here till I get it fixed. Should be done by tomorrow evening.
