h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Draw a line under my affairs
I'll try to sort my love life tonight
Like the scene in Potemkin
With the pram on the stairs
I've got a downhill bumpy ride in sight
Lucy asked me if the diamonds are real
Well they certainly looked real to me
A change of subject was hard to conceal
If I asked her out to dinner did she think she'd be free?

Life's like Milton Keynes at night
You always end up back where you start
Everybody is a movie star
If they only knew they had a part

Had a job then I got the sack
I was meant to nail together some wood
Like Tarentino when he's trying to act
I don't think I was very good
I was comforted with a knowing smile
Now my life's turning out for the worse
Me and Lucy walking down the ailse
Well I'd rather see me off in a hearse
I'd move to Russia first

Life's like Milton Keynes at night
You never really know where you are
When the sky is filled with orange light
You'll never get to see your guiding star

So I fooled "Have I got chances with your old school friend?"
She said that soulmates only come in twos
My sense of humour was a cue for the end
Now she ain't got a lover I ain't got a clue
Found a policeman who was cool for a joke
I bet his boyfriend was a real good lay
Like the guy in 'Tora Tora' when the prop shaft broke
I think I've really earnt my money today
Sometimes it goes that way

Hi David

You know I am a fan of this song, well I have added the quote about guiding star's to my personal space, and links here.

All the best

a girl called Ben

Really cool, I truly love it. Is it a song? It's a poem too.

This is *really* good! I love it, you wrote it??!
