I'd stand in the line of fire for you..

I read a book in the summer called 'A Town Like Alice' by Nevil Shute- and I recently downloaded Mystery Jets album 'Serotonin', and the first song was this (called 'Alice Springs'!) I love finding similarities between books and songs (-I thought I'd found one between Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone' and 'On The Road' by Jack Kerouac, but turns out Bobby wrote the song while depressed on a tour around England.. great.) Anyway the song is brilliant, and the book even better! Passed it onto my mum- which after reading this Hesse atm ('Die Steppenwolf'- no idea what that is in English.. soz!) I defo wanna read again, such an uplifting story, yet (as great stories often do) reducing one to tears as you pretty much endure everything the characters endure.. Have a new found interest in the Vietnamese War and Australia aswell!!
I'm off to bed now though.. Woke up at eight (normally this is early right, here its late.. Stupid German early birds.) and forgot the trams were striking, thus arrived a tad late to "school".. Opps! FYI- school is in inverted commas as I feel weird saying I go to school, so its a "school" instead. I know, its pretty much the same- but it makes me feel less young saying "school" than saying school.
