Pedro complained that his emotional reaction to "The State That I am In" got the following response from a female friend: "you and your emotions. You're just a sentimental fool! Life isn't poetry, you know?". Maybe she was just living the songs: "Belle and Sebastian" has a couplet that goes: "He wants to love and he wants to care But when the girls hear that they think he's so square." If it's a choice between "Dog" or the female friend, maybe the best advice is on "Century of Fakirs": "If you ever get lardy or go lame I will drop you straight away, That's the price you have to pay For all the stupid things you say". So try to keep both for the time being; then drop whichever goes lardy or lame first. :-) Martin C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
