Kenny

"Oh my god they've killed Kenny

You bastards!"

was a running joke in South Park in which Kenny died in each episode. In the Buffy TVS and Angel, both Buffy and Angel have died several times and the decision to kill off Buffy's mother was partly motivated by a desire to kill off one character who actually stayed dead.

Lyrics of "Momentum"

[Verse 1:]

Oh, for the sake of momentum

I've allowed my fears to get larger than life

And it's brought me to my current agendum

Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive

[Chorus:]

And I know life is getting shorter

I can't bring myself to set the scene

Even when it's approaching torture

I've got my routine

[Verse 2:]

Oh, for the sake of momentum

Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day

But I hate to think of effort expended

All those minutes and days and hours

I have frittered away.

[Chorus]

And I know life is getting shorter

I can't bring myself to set the scene

Even when it's approaching torture

I've got my routine

[Bridge 1:]

But I can't confront the doubts I have

I can't admit that maybe the past was bad

And so, for the sake of momentum

I'm condemning the future to death

So it can match the past.

[Bridge 2:]

when I can't confront the doubts I have

I can't admit that maybe the past was bad

And so, for the sake of momentum

I'm condemning the future to death

So it can match the past.

O

Oliver's Army

Don't start me talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Called careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?
Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger
[Chorus]
Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
[Chorus]
