A qn to keep you all going

I asked this to [livejournal.com profile] worldofagwu as part of a MEME but felt it had wider potential (tho his answer was of course excellent):

Have the lyrics of a song ever changed your mind about a non-musical matter?

(WOA expanded the meaning to include "provided you with useful practical information" too which suits me!)

The Specials "Too Much Too Young"

[identity profile] mackromackro.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Too much too young
Your done too much much too young
Your married with a kid when you could be having fun with me"


Grabbed from the first Specials lyrics site on Google, so "your done" is obviously not the correct phrase, obviously, but it's the MESSAGE that counts!

This especially, although it was really the entire first album, is what got me out of my stupid stupid notion that my life would be a gaping miserable hole if I didn't try to have a family by a certain age.
