I see where you're coming from but in my defence this was a hall full of music snobs at the funeral of another music snob.

"I'll tell you about "The Spy Who Loved Me". All do that with your fingers round your eye. I am Roger Moore. Bang! Blood dribbles down…."

Late on this but I lean towards the latter; this person has hurt the narrator and he's finally getting things back together when they show up again. I think they probably sleep together too? Such an incredible song regardless…

It sounds like your boyfriend, much like 'Frankie' said, does it his way.

My family went to church every week but it was pretty bog-standard Presbytarian stuff. I stayed with my cousins in another city one summer and went to their Pentecostal evangelical sort of church and felt ridiculously unfomfortable - for one thing, their church services were about 4 hours long; I could be exaggerating…

I've got pretty much the same situation as @avclub-618fd0370047b25592c8a7db0ff8a9c0:disqus , my family aren't perfect and we argue sometimes (loud, roaring arguments when I was a teenager) but we're all very close and love each other heaps and talk a lot and all had a 'Google Hangout' together (complete with my…

@avclub-97fd8ee9b82eb2c65743f9e2c535b4b9:disqus That's it, I'm off to St Vinnie's on Saturday!

@avclub-ad45e11f2e88b8963920c79cd1d8755e:disqus yeah they did do some fantastic B-sides, I'd rank Sci-Fi Lullabies above everything after Coming Up easily.
