2127 - Balzac's no ballsache

Just had a blistering guitar session
My left fingers are left aching nicely
There's little left now that needs to be done
Should I be good now, should I be naughty?
Trying to resist that devil in me
The one that says, Reward! Reward! Reward!
But when you have had a kind of party
It's hard to sit and read a book, real hard
Yet having said that, I've started a good
One, 'Old Goriot' by Balzac... It doesn't
Sound like much, but having read round eighty
Pages yesterday, does what novels should
Nineteenth-century novels are more fun
They're like films of their day... they're history
