With a cry you jump to your death!!

Fully five minutes of this ten-minute song consists of the repetition of the chorus "Don't you think I'm a savior, don't you think I could save you, don't you think I could save your life." - those lines are sung 22 times in total. It's always been a mystery to me why Steve Harris thought that was a remotely good idea.

I've not been at my best this weekend, having caught what I think must be a late Freshers' Flu (or more accurately, Freshers' Cold, but that doesn't have as good alliteration). But seeing as I do so little at the weekend anyway, it's hardly affected my routine. Having no lemons, I invented a new miracle cure for my sore throat - squeezed orange and honey in hot water. It worked for a while, believe it or not.

As a result of my illness, though, I had some very strange dreams last night. One involved my sister throwing fried eggs at me. I can't really remember the rest.

In a slight daze, I've also been playing Shadowgate. For people not familiar with it, it's an ancient NES adventure game very similar in style to Knightmare.

I don't have that song on my playlist, nor could I have told you the name of the song or the artist who sings it. But just through indirect exposure (i.e. living with Chris) I can hear that phrase running over and over in my head just the way you described it. I bet I could even sing it with impressive accuracy.
