Why ponder life's complexities


I always thought it was 'why pamper life's complexities'?

(Smiths)
Alabaster crashes down
Six months a long time
I've tried living in a real world instead of a shell
But before I began
I was bored before I even began

You have never been in love
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
Over smashed human bone

Or, actually, with the wee "s" at the end of "colada" like this : "coladas" so that it's plural, denoting someone who likes a good exotic**tail based bevvy. That's why they study Morrissey and Leonard Cohen at colleges all over the Western world, except Stoke.
