You ask me lover What's the point Can't you see That there's not one Yet at the same time One exists Yes - perhaps The greatest point of all It's because I can That is why And want to So one day - I will No, not to spite you That's not me You know that C'mon now listen Who cares what science Says of sound This object Could alter my world If I possesed it Lily Allen On Vinyl A big, round L.P A true work of art Lilys' art Existing beyond its form I can hear it now! Every note pressed Perfectly Filling the air With its captured sound Yet I can hear you argue Making a scene Missing the point Trying to persuade me That C.D's better Clearer sound More modern too But that's never it For years I've wanted That record I'd watch it Go round and around Yet for years I've chosen Not to buy But to deny Myself the pleasure Often I have thought I'll buy it Sit and watch Its nothingness go But I loved all that Nothingness Simple fact That I did not own it But now soon I will Hold it here Commited Its nothingness gone And I will play it Night and day Until you see It's because we can. "Say what you say, Do what you do. Feel what you feel, As long as it's real" Lily Allen "That is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free: condemned, because he did not create himself, yet nonetheless free, because once cast into the world, he is responsible for everything he does." Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism
