I think if you go back ...I did not miss the point. I think if you go back and reread this, it will become apparent that I understand perfectly well that the song is arguing that she's important--I just don't agree. Or, rather, I didn't agree when I wrote it. As my avatar and my other blogs may make apparent, I'm a big duck comics fan, but for a long time I couldn't stand mouse character.

These are Sparks lyrics, goddammit - you have to keep up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
