Without diving for the lyric sheet, I don't think there are any 'second person' references at all on Metamatic. Nice Freudian slip with 'innkeeping', btw!

Rob You could just tell us Rob :rolleyes: Im sticking with Harolds thoughts, except maybe 'Cinemascope' is instrumental'ish, with just the title said like '20th Century'. Excluding 'its the' .
