And lifted from Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, sung by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.
Top five female voice supported by Martin Chambers' excellent percussion.

Chrissie Hynde was at Kent State University on 4 May 1970 when poorly-led soldiers of the Ohio National Guard opened fired on unarmed college students.
No one was ever punished for that massacre.

:] Neil Tennant is educated and well-read, writing pop songs with wit often lifted from the shoulders of giants.

Pet Shop Boys - I Get Excited - they make a lot of songs that aren't on their albums, mostly b-sides like this one have the more political and queer cultural references.

We're both in the gutter, that's no surprise
What does it matter, when I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money, we're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter, but we're looking at the stars

I get excited, you get excited too
I get excited, you get excited too

I hear the sound of the subway, the sigh of the heat
The click of the visitors' heels on the street
The rattle of the taxi, the scream of the cars
The clatter of the dustbin and the beat of my heart

I get excited, you get excited too
I get excited, you get excited too

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why, I don't know why

You're in my soul
My body moves to your control
Baby, I've been thinking about you
All night long, and the neighbours are talking

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why, I don't know why

We're both in the gutter, that's no surprise
What does it matter, when I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money, we're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter, but we're looking at the stars

I get excited, you get excited too
I get excited, you get excited too

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why, I don't know why

The Anti Ukraine stuff is mostly Posing.
The Anti Israel, not Antisemitic,Stuff, is absolutely my Actual Opinion.
I Have No Patience with Elitist and Supremacist thinking and MURDERS.
Israel should Not exist as a "Jewish State".
If they were to Embrace Multiculturalism and Universal Human Rights I would be their Strongest Supporter.
No Risk of that happening. Lol.

That's been my take on you from the get-go.

Similarly, I despise Censored for those very reasons you express.

As for this topic: no tech unions, mainly contracted short-term positions with more competition than any other sector, yearly decreases in wages offered, "automation" which is just outsourcing are a few of the real issues I've fought, but the conservative culture has to be the most prevailing, disgusting anti-culture problem and refuses to recognize it or to change.

The morons complaining about culture war topics never worked with or experienced DEI - we never did any formal or informal training in any of the institutions that I've worked. One was a fortune 500, the others are part of the states function, mostly medical and military support. Gay employees are always let go once discovered. Administrations have nothing to do with "equality" or "inclusion" other than having you train your off-shore replacements. "Diversity" sounds like a portfolio description, which is how I presume they also see it.

They probably consider Amazon's orientation explaining how to avoid being shot when a worker goes postal as DEI training.
