You have to believe we are magic

[cyrano]

Not much to say, plus I need to get to work. Just had this fragment stuck in my head and was hoping that putting it here would purge the brain.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

Okay, that's your culture for the day. Go back to watching Oprah.

Isn't that Pleasure Dome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A pleasuredome erect
Moving on keep moving on-yeah
Moving at one million miles an hour
Using my power
I sent it by the hour
I have it so I'm mocking it
You really can afford it-yeah
Really can afford it

(and there's more about PleasureDome - can't tell if this is a parody or an interpretation of what you posted)

The name of the album and much of the title track is a re-imagining of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's _Xanadu_ which, I discovered yesterday, not everybody had heard of.
