When out local SF group met in the lounge bar of a local pub, we used to take it over as it was quite small. But sometimes other customers would be there at the beginning of the evening. But once they got bored with our SF talk and had left someone would say the finale of 2112 by Rush by quoting:

"Attention all planets of the Solar Federation... we have assumed control"!

... our SF group is not entirely un-childish!

When you're falling awake
And you take stock of the new day
And you hear your voice croak
As you choke on what you need to say
Well, don't you fret, don't you fear
I will give you good cheer
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
If you wait then your plate I will fill
As the verses unfold
And your soul suffers the long day
And the twelve o'clock gloom, spins the room
You struggle on your way
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
Lick the dust from your eye
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn
As the Baker Street train spills your pain
All over your new dress
And the symphony sounds underground
Put you under duress
Well, don't you squeal as the heel
Grinds you under the wheels
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
But the tune ends too soon for us all
But the tune ends too soon for us all

Life Is A Long Song - Jethro Tull

Two from mr. Blaze Bayley have always been very close (for obvious reasons) to my heart:

First one from Reach For The Horizon:
"Doomed to be mediocre or nothing at all..."

Second one comes from Nothing Will Stop Me
"So I am ignored I am a freak, mine is the name no one will speak..."

Both of which pretty much tell the story of my life.

Because, well, "call real" kinda sounds like "Ko-rea" when DLR sings it the way he does.
