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. :-)
