cyranoSpecial edition IFAMAQD!
The more astute of you may have noticed that, although usually my LJ posts are titled with song lyrics, the IFAMAQD posts are titled with song lyric questions. See what I just did there?
Back in the long ago, I had a file of questions I'd found in song lyrics. Every week I'd choose one, delete it from the list and add it to the post.
It appears that this file has gone missing. I'm trying to reconstruct it--initial attempts include a wildcard search for '?' in my iTunes, which has had limited success in at least catching songs with question titles. However, not all record producers are as fastidious as I in their punctuation. Today's title, for instance, came with no question mark, nor did 'Are you gonna go my way?' despite its clearly being a question. And, of course, that doesn't catch questions from the actual lyrics, like "Do you cry out in your sleep?" from Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart.
I figure this will slow the usual flood of questions, but I would like you to include a lyrical question today (or lots of them) so I can start rebuilding that file. Hell, if I'm feeling puckish, I may even answer the lyrical question.

Have you heard the word is love?
What goes on in your heart? What goes on in your mind?
I'm looking through you, where did you go? I thought I knew you, what did I know?
