Let me start out by saying how bloomin' brilliant I think this song is. F---ing amazing, really. Makes a great birthday song, if only it would catch on.

Also, I'm absolutely positive that he is saying day and not tale, Irrational is very wrong.

One last thing. I've heard two versions of this song. One version on the CD Mink Car and another, which I prefer, on mp3. Does anyone know where the non Mink Car version is from?
