Lyrics:

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?

The boys that made me lose the blues tonight, and then my eyesight

All together, playing games of cards

Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart

.

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?

I'm lookin' through the window from the garden

Waitin' for the call to my hotel room

I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom

I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

.

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?

Surely not the one that loves me truly, only

He's probably down at the stables, there

Gently polishing my cabriolet, only

I don't care, I really want to go

.

So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom

Callin' up some dude from my hotel room

I'm tired of writing elegies in general

I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

Tonight, tonight...

.

The candles seem to all have been blown out

Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about

Could it be I came to the wrong place?

But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet mystery

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?

.

It's only when you're outside that you notice

Only from the window you can see them

Once the door is open, all will vanish

Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight

Tonight, tonight

.

Bon Iver - "Flume" (lyrics)

Lyrics:

.

I am my mother's only one

It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows

Now you know

Only love is all maroon

Gluey feathers on a flume

Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall, with us all

I move in water, shore to shore;

Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon

Lapping lakes like leary loons

Leaving rope burns

Reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon

Gluey feathers on a flume

Sky is womb and she's the moon

Brain teaser 13

Patricia said: "The day before yesterday I was 10, but I will turn 13 in the next year." How is this possible?

Brain teaser 12

A number of bacteria are placed in a glass. One second later each bacterium divides in two, the next second each of the resulting bacteria divides in two again, et cetera. After one minute the glass is full. When was the glass half-full?
