Thank you! I really enjoyed writing this one, I could almost feel the pavement under my feet. And I am so pleased you liked the soup line!
I like the word aphorism – aside from the fact that I have a family full of people who are full of them, there's the brilliant verse in The Triffids' Stolen Property: Darling, you are not moving any mountains, You are not seeing any visions, You are not freeing any people from prison, Just an aphorism for every occasion.... which so neatly undercuts the songwriter's pretension, at the same time as being an awesome song. I always loved that. (Great band and song if they're new to you, BTW!)
