Ben Fold's Five
The last polka
well, she crept back in the house at half past 3
shook her head to see him snoring in his sleep
"if you really loved me," she said,
"I wouldn't have to be so mean"
he's a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer
he sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor
it's evidence of what he was like
he likes to remember when
sha la lie sha la lie lie lie
the end is growing near
and we're treading water now
and holding back our tears
and the day is rising,
we're sinking
sha la sha la lie
in a minute it will all be coming down
and they know it now,
but no one makes a sound
such a shame to ruin this bright
lazy, sunny day
sha la lie sha la lie lie lie
the end is growing near
and we're treading water now
and holding back our tears
and the day is rising,
we're sinking
sha la sha la lie
my oh my,
the cruelest lies are often told
without a word
my oh my,
the kindest truths are
often spoken,
never heard
she said,
"you've been pushing me like I was a
sore tooth"
"you can't respect me 'cause I've done
so much for you"
he said,
"well I hate that it's come to this,
but baby I was doing fine"
"how do you think
that I survived the other 25 before you?"
sha la lie sha la lie lie lie
the end is growing near
and we're treading water now
and holding back our tears
and the day is rising,
we're sinking

I haven't read this yet, but I will, I swear it.
Tony is an ass, and you should never lower your aim for anything. ANYTHING.
I'm moving to San Diego in the morning, and as bad as it makes me feel, I won't lower my aim for anything (save God), no matter how much it breaks my heart to leave my family and friends.
I agree with you on Sarah, though... hmm.
Oh, and no worries on that situation. The writing style was borrowed from my friend Natalie (I love her and it, they're both amazing), but the topic... well, nothing of concern right now, if ever.
Stay around, online, and you will see that people do care for you; oh, and if possible... move out of that house :P
