If you don't pay attention to the words, it sounds just like - well, _is_ - a rather sweet romantic tune. As is "Pigeons". He recounts a rather nice tale of the recording of the orchestral version of pigeons: the music parts had been distributed to the orchestra without the title on them, and several people said what a charming little waltz, or similar - then the conductor or whoever tapped and said "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, take one", and there was a dropping of several jaws.

It looks like "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" will reach the magic number of 10 million video views early in 2014. This is a man who has not recorded a new song in ages, or performed for money since 1967. Amazing! Keep spreading the black and white videos from Norway/Denmark, and thank you ALL so much! Have a nice Christmas and a happy new year. And, yes, you certainly deserve a REAL love song! Best wishes from 6funswede the Dubious

I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips. I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips. My joy would be complete, dear, If you were only here! But still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir. The night you died I cut it off, I really don't know why. For now each time I kiss it I get bloodstains on my tie. I'm sorry now I killed you, For our love was something fine! Until they come to get me I... ...shall hold your hand in mine.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
