    A friend of mine once compared the way I work
    to monkeys typing on typewriters.
    You know. The ones who someone once suggested
    that if they were to type long enough
    theoretically they could eventually type
    The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

    1. "We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true."

    1. The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
      this town has dragged you down
      oh the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
      this town has dragged you down

      And everybody's got to live their life
      and God knows I've got to live mine
      God knows I've got to live mine

      William, William it was really nothing
      William, William it was really nothing
      it was your life

      How can you stay with that girl who'll say:
      "Would you like to marry me
      and if you like you can buy the ring"
      she doesn't care about anything
      "Would you like to marry me
      and if you like you can buy the ring"
      I don't dream about anyone
      except myself

      William, William it was really nothing
      William, William
