WWTJD? What would Tom Jones do?

Well, it’s a question. When I was little I used to ask myself what Anne Murray would do…then it became Kate Jackson. Yeah, that’s how old I am!

In any case, men can do a lot worse than to ask themselves: What Would Tom Jones Do? Think about it: rudderless milquetoasts everywhere suddenly become assertive, seductive, sweaty, ice-cool, red hot, and Welsh-American-accented!

All the Love in the World
Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails

Watching all the insects march along
Seem to know just right where they belong
Smears of face reflecting in the crawl
Hiding in the crowd, I’m all alone

No one’s heard a single word I’ve said
They don’t sound as good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I’ve become a million miles away

Why do you get all the love in the world? (x2)

All the jagged edges disappear
Colors all look brighter when you’re near
The stars are all afire in the sky
Sometimes I get so lonely I could…

Why do you get all the love in the world? (x4)
Why do you get all the love in the world? (x4)
Why do you get all the love in the world?
(repeated many times, as if you could ever repeat it enough)
