Keen - Vintage music video - The Cranberries - Twenty One

Lyrics: http://goo.gl/j1FiN.

The Cranberries is yet another great music talent from Ireland. Gee. There are so many. And they, Irish musicians, almost have hold monopoly over my ears for years. Their nation must be quite poetic.

However, in stark contrast to that phenomenon, Ireland's financiers have been so disastrous. Now that prompts me to ask, is that poetic country also very scientific?

For the time being, I suspect the above particular song embodies some classic wounds of the Irish nation.

A tempest in a teapot (Version A)

Ruminating on the temperature of the water
The tea leaves flow low and high meandering
Their qualities preserved for so long a time
Will give out their hints once and for all

Bankers' hours nowadays

The purport of the phrase "bankers' hours" has deviated so much from its root. Nowadays (investment) bankers are so used to working graveyard shifts and day shifts back to back. Gone are the days of easy laboring in the banking industry. On the other hand, ironically, many civil servants in Canada tend to work bankers' hours with long coffee breaks blended in, day in and day out. Well, who doesn't want to be that kind of "servant"?

Levity

Ignorance breeds levity, in my experience.
