A/N Since nothing this ambitious is written without musical inspiration, here is 'A Little Warm Death' by Brisbane duo Stringmansassy (I believe these days they can only be found on MySpace). Sorry for the delay but I couldn't find the lyrics for love or money and didn't want to transcribe it from my MP3 in case I got it wrong. Finally found the old CD case in my back room.

A Little Warm Death

A little warm death

A touch of sacrifice

A simple longing

That everything be right

This little warm death

Is touching everything

Remember her face

Remember everything

First we leap

And then we fly

Then we're taken

Like the night on my skin

As I sleep

Your smiling face, rainbow soul

You're acting like you know

This must be the day for letting go

A giant space calls

A little astronaut

And confidence begs

To lie upon the floor

One going up

Another going down

Both for all things

Both scattered on the ground

Things will be as they be

Revolving round like a dream

The girl in blue dress, city streets

She walks around the meeting place

A little warm death

That strengthens everything

Remember her face

Remember everything
