There was a time in my uni days when this song was playing on everyone's Winamp (No IPODs those days)

I'd forgotten all about it until today when I heard it again today - the lyrcis still as impactful as it was when I first heard it.

My favourites:

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.

And my favourite-est!

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance.

Read the story behind the song here and listen to some asshole named Safran make fun of it here.
