(this sounds like) The opening chords of a musical, the main character comes out of a pile of garbage, wearing a tattered business suit, and clutching a small piece of paper. It's an IOU, and the story is about him searching for the person it's from, trying to reclaim something he's owed, but he doesn't know what it is or where to find it. I believe the show ends without him finding it.
It's easiest to hit a homerun when the pitch comes right down the pipe. This song comes right at you, right at your face, and you can let it go, let it pass, or you can knock it really far. Sometimes I let pitches like this pass, but not today. Today, I like things that are easy to like.
[Buy, and they're playing in Montreal tomorrow, Ottawa tonight]
