	i've actually got about four versions of this song. there's a rock one, one with horns, and i've got a couple live ones. ANYWAYS: i just want to add that it's amazing how much this song can say without really saying very much. also: it seems like it's going to build up to something, then it just ends. kind of like a sarcastic joke.

	Let me start out by saying how bloomin' brilliant I think this song is. F---ing amazing, really. Makes a great birthday song, if only it would catch on. Also, I'm absolutely positive that he is saying day and not tale, Irrational is very wrong. One last thing. I've heard two versions of this song. One version on the CD Mink Car and another, which I prefer, on mp3. Does anyone know where the non Mink Car version is from?

	This is a great song, it really should be the new birthday song. Sidenote, I thought the second verse was "This day will soon be at an end" instead of "tale"
