The Apology Song by The Decemberists

I'm really sorry Steven,
But your bicycle's been stolen.
I was watching it for you
'till you came back in the fall.
Guess I didn't do such a good job after all.
I was feeling really sorry Steven
and I spent all morning grieving,
and everybody's sayin that you'll take the news gracefully.
Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily.

I meant her no harm when I left her unlocked outside
The Orange Street Food Farm.
I was just running in didn't think I'd be that long.
I came out she was gone,
and all that was there was some bored old dog
leashed up to the place where you bicycle'd been.
Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again.

Let this be consolation Steven,
that all the while you were in England,
I treated her with care and respect and gave her lots of love
and I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up.

Where has she gone,
well I bet she's on the bottom of a French Town pond,
rudely abused on some heshner's joyride.

So I wrote you this song,
in the hopes that you'd forgive even though it was wrong,
being so careless with a thing so great,
and taking your poor Madeleine away.
Away.
Away.

Funny song! :) I have been sampling music that my brother has accumulated from here and there on our hard-drive. The Decemberists have managed to strike a chord with me. Check out another one by them called The Mariner's Revenge.

Windows Vista

Microsoft is offering a time-limited beta version of its upcoming OS , Vista for free. However one needs to pay the shipping charges. For India, it's working out to be 700/-. So if you want to use Vista till 31st June 2007, go ahead and order online from the microsoft website. But before you do that .. do have a look at the system requirements section of the webpage. Vista is demanding, it needs atleast a DirectX 9 compatible GPU and a minimum of half a gig of RAM on your machine before it can show you some magic.
