The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing

    One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Makes me think of the love I feel for my wife. Made even better by Gabriel's interpretation. Should have been a massive no.1, but then again it wasn't an X-Factor winner records :O).

    This song will always be synonymous with the series finale of Scrubs to me. (Season 9 does not exist)

    I can't wait to see PG in concert next month. This Magnetic Fields cover is amazing, but I really can't wait to see 'SO' performed live. It's been 20 years since I saw him last... I was 7 at the Secret World Tour. :)
