Don't Ask Me For The Moon.

Do you have a song you like?
No, really. Really like? 
At work. At play. At school. Anytime.

No, you're not taking this seriously.
I blame myself. Some would argue that that makes you a lucky half-wit. Not me. It's not a bet. I'm no politician. As I say, I blame myself (and possibly a Merlot of questionable accomplishment). 

Don't think me too aggressive. Maybe I work too hard but I'm not a man with a gun. Let's try again.

Do you have a song you LIKE? I'm only asking. (If you don't ask, you don't get). But by "like" I mean universally,like. In the dark. In broad daylight. When you've prayed for rain. 
Now. 
Soon. 
Forever.

OK, I'll spell it out for you.

I'm talking about a song you "Like" enough to ... oh well, here we go... write out the lyrics. There I've said it. This is not a song you'd draw straws for. 

It's...stopping the tape, pushing the knob to pause play, wrestling with misunderheard words, trying to predict the artistic weather. And carrying on the impure belief that the neologisms "spoke" to you. YOU! 
While burying themselves in the belief that your belated transcriptions were actually accurate. (You're not religious, are you?)

But do you have a song like that?
Do you?
Take all the time you need. 
Because I know you do.

Because.........because..
I have two.

This is one.

And there isn't another person on the planet that is mad enough to guess the second.
(Well not correctly, at least).
