    A song - or at least a song title - that seems to have especial resonance this week.
    
    I can’t seem to face up to the facts
    I’m tense and nervous and I
    Can’t relax
    I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
    Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
    
    Psycho killer
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    Psycho killer
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    
    You start a conversation you can’t even finish it
    You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything
    When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
    Say something once, why say it again?
    
    Psycho killer,
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    Psycho killer
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    
    (*spoken interlude in French*)
    
    Psycho killer,
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    Psycho killer,
    Qu’est-que c’est
    Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
    Run run run run run run run away
    
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
    

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
