What was your favorite TV program?
Black Books: series 3 - was that this year?
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

Smoke it up, it won't last forever anyway.

At the end of this burning world
You'll stand proud, face upheld
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
And I'll become, as a girl
In the desperate kingdom of love
