Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 700.... you remember an experience or two from your past. A good example
of a common irony found in this song would be the line Aten thousand
spoons when all you need is a knife@. It always seems that things we need
are never readily available. But I think we can take this beyond just
material things in life to the important ideals, such as our dreams and

Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1304.... is set, then, for a legendary show -- the band's triumphant return.
