| I want this song played at my funeral.  Roll on thunder shine on lightnin' the days are long and the nights are frightnin' Nothing matters anyway and that's the hell of it Winter comes and the winds blow colder well some grew wiser you just grew older And you never listened anyway and that's the hell of it Good for nothin' bad in bed nobody likes you and you're better off dead goodbye We've all come to say goodbye goodbye Born defeated died in vain Super destruction you were hooked on pain and tho' your music lingers on All of us are glad you're gone If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too Love yourself as you love no other be no man's fool be no man's brother We're all born to die alone y'know that's the hell of it Life's a game where they're bound to beat you and time's a trick they can turn to cheat you And we only waste it anyway and that's the hell of it Good for nothin' bad in bed nobody likes you and you're better off dead goodbye We've all come to say goodbye Born defeated died in vain Super destruction you were hooked on pain and tho' your music lingers on All of us are glad you're gone

| It is over. It was very pleasant. A bit too musical theatre for me but inoffensive enough. Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.  _________________ |

| Well, it's a special album for me. I actually bought the CD at the massive HMV on Oxford Street as a Christmas present for my then-missus. It was an import with all holograms on the jewel case. It cost something eye-watering like £22.

| The film is, if I remember correctly, very entertaining, albeit frantic and exhausting in the same way the Tommy movie is.
The things that stand out ultimately (for me at least) are that Paul Williams is an underrated genius and that Jessica Harper is an amazing, weirdly disconcerting vocalist with a deep vocal timbre that confounds quite profoundly.
