Do you have an imaginary friend?
I've told you over and over again, HE'S REAL, so stop asking!
Don't Know Why I Do It
Just down the street?
The cozy little diner
Where we used to meet?
I still visit there,
All of the time:
The kids all point,
Like they think it's mine.
I was there again today,
Went in snowblind;
I tracked up the floor,
Waitress said, "I don't mind."
I pretty sure she thinks
I've got a crush on her,
And she's pretty enough
That I feel like a cur.
I never noticed that
The walls in there are grey,
I always thought they were blue
When I knew you were on your way.
I sit and I ask myself
For what I might be waiting:
Then I wonder otherwise
What I might be anticipating.
The people seemed more interesting
When I knew you might be coming,
But I've started that old habit
Where my fingers start drumming.
I remember it as pleasant,
It was cheerful and bright,
Folks lost their sunny dispositions,
All their spirits in a blight.
All the girls used to be pretty,
When they crossed my view,
Now they just try too hard,
To look and act like you.
I got too much sugar in my coffee,
And played with it lukewarm,
I think it made me kinda sick
Or the place has lost its charm.
All the memories that fill the place
Will never make you care,
So I really have to ask myself
Why I keep on going there.

Escaped Attention Earlier
Ping is being a spazz about including the music, but I imagine people blew off the original post as history alone.
The term "bourgeoisie" had many meanings in eighteenth–century France, from the most literal sense of "citizens of a city" to a more sociological meaning of talented and cultivated members of the Third Estate. Some eighteenth–century writers also used the term to refer to merchants. However, it did not yet connote upper–middle–class status or adherence to certain dominant social norms, as the term would suggest today. In this passage, from the newspaper Révolutions de Paris, the journalist distinguishes between the "bonne bourgeoisie," who he says are "aristocratic" and "monarchist by instinct" and who fear that any political change will cost money, and the "petite bourgeoisie," who are allied with "the people" and have shown themselves to be patriotic supporters of the Revolution.

I also recall the reaction of the nobility in "The Red and The Black" by Stendahl.
