That song always suffered from intense, prolonged over-wording.

I would be afraid to sit down and have a drink with the two of them because it can't possibly be as awesome as I am imagining in my head.

Re: How smart a choice was MYM as first single?
The answer to that question depends entirely on whether or not your last name is Gallagher.is this more or less prestigious than being big in japan?
Although the answer is 'no' either way, so I'm not totally clear on the nature of the dependency. But that's another topic a Gallagher would probably be able to tell you a little more about.
so long as they're dressed like that, they could talk about nothing but the stock market and the art of passing kidney stones, and I'd still be having the time of my life.I would be afraid to sit down and have a drink with the two of them because it can't possibly be as awesome as I am imagining in my head. I'd just walk away disappointed.
