the
boy
sat
on
the
ledge
 
 
 
an
old
man
who
had
fainted
was
revived
 
and
everyone
agreed
it
would
be
a
miracle
indeed
If
the
boy
survived
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Save
the
life
of
my

the
force
can't
do

'Cause

People
asking

When

fell,
excitement
kissed
the
crowd
 
 
and
made
them
wild
 
 
 
 
 
in
an
atmosphere
of
freaky
holiday
 
 
 
When
the
spotlight
hit
the
boy
 
 
 
the
crowd
began
to
cheer
 
 
 
 
He
flew
away
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Oh
my
grace
I
got
no
hiding
place..."

Fun, until I gave up and found out I've never heard of the song (am I uncultured?). Please do some more!

Believe me, if your name's Eutychus, you're cultured. Let me know if you're up for an opera aria, and if so I'll post one of those.
