Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright (the morning's looking bright)
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name

Cheers to everyone who grew up like me, hearing only the first few bars of the song on TV, and never realized how prescient the lyrics were going to be in 2023...

..or that you're a crow, or what lies beneath the ruins of old Newcastle, for that matter...

But you gotta admit, they're always glad you came. Especially the NSFW accounts.

This is the first time anyone has tweaked to my account name but I should not be surprised seeing yours.

Very nice, congratulations - you've gotten the closest thus far. I won't say more except to suggest that there is a deeper context woven in the Greek....

are you the ploughman?

Is that you Dagon?

Hmm... It depends on who's asking, how cute they are, and most importantly, their opinion of Eblanian political movements...
