We've got quite enough music in our own heads as it is Well, I'm half tempted to turn around and go home Why can't Julia leave music in the concert hall where it belongs? Then you go in when you want to and leave if you want to it's a disease with Julia and on new year's day It sure to prove fatal with me. I thought you liked music.
