I wrote a newsletter the other day and it was talking about ratatouille and cooking rats.
That's what newsletters are for...

"Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (BC)"
I remember it like it was yesterday
Snow in the park and skaters on the ice
Long black cars standing side-by-side
Loading up the boys at night
Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind
Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights
Not something you'd see on a Bromford street
It's such an uncommon sight
But I wouldn't have it any other way
This city's got a thing about it, don't try to understand it
Bromford City I'd really like to stay
Bromford City I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you any other way
Oh the subway rumbled underneath
Italian lights where Joey Gallo died
And the man on the door down at 54's
Letting only the pretty inside
I'd wake with a stranger under the covers
Late in the day and longing for the night
Just like the snowfall there's so many bodies
But somehow it feels so right
But I wouldn't have it any other way
This city's got a thing about it, don't try to understand it
Bromford City I'd really like to stay
Bromford City I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you any other way
