Still a damn fine song to get drunk too
To the tune of Don McLean's American Pie:
Quote:
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How new novels used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had a choice
That I could make people rejoice
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But cold July made me shiver
With every bookshop I would visit
Bad books on display steps
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I saw Dan Brown ten deep inside
But something touched me deep inside
The day the fiction died
Couldn't think of anything for the chorus, so stopped there
