Flashback to Total Recall today.  Yeah, the Arnie film.  Which is actually based on a short story by one of my favourite authors, Philip K Dick - We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.

Arnie wearing the costume, when the head goes nuts.  He says, I want a ticket for two weeks.
"Two weeks."
"Twooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeekssssssssssssssssss"

Then, boom.

And flashback to another pop.-culture reference.  The Simpsons, and Homer walks in with a plunger stuck on his head.  And he says, "Marge, it happened again!"

Life can throw you some funny dice sometimes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Another night with open eyes
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?
Hot and feverish you face the fact

You're in love, and it feels like shame
Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
You're in love, and it feels like pain
Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims

So ask yourself now: can you forgive her If she wants you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even deliver what she demands of you?

You drift into the strangest dreams
Of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet
Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget

She's made you some kind of laughing stock
Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock
She'd make fun of you, and even in bed
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead

So ask yourself now: can you forgive her if she begs you to?
Ask yourself: can you even deliver what she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish!
(But that's childish, so childish!)

Remember when you were more easily led
Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came true
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew

     It was love, and now you can't pretend
     You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
     It's bad enough, she knows how you feel
     But she's not prepared to share you with the memory

So ask yourself now: can you forgive her if she begs you to?
Ask yourself: can you even deliver what she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
So ask yourself now: can you forgive her if she begs you to?
Ask yourself: can you even deliver what she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish!
(But that's childish, so childish!)
