EmI was about to buy de-Dmicer, Amcheck the pressure on my Cmtyres,
GBurn a county compiEmlation, Ctake EF#laine to Mr BSquires
EmBut how sincere were my inDmtentions? AmWas it all a rush of Cmblood?
GWithout a friend around to Emguide me; Cit was F#you who underBstood.
DThose travel sweets so hard to Gopen, Emthe matrix sign near Arley CHall
GTo use or not to use the Emtoll road A‘cos after Stoke it starts to DcrawlF#.....
And it Bmcrawls.
CAnd I’d be far from over Gkeen - F#based upon those calcuBblations:

You showed me Ullapool to Deal,   mileage chart.
EmIn limiting my aspiDmrations, Ama quiet happiness enCmsues
GI never tried to Emreach for the stars, I Cnever F#had platform Bshoes
EmShould I get too enthusiDmastic, Amshould my head begin to Cmspin
