    The song quoted above is from the musical 'Evita' if I recall correctly...


    Blush Birdie, I don't think anyone intended to personally attack you. As Pollycat says, when you share a dilemma such as yours you'll receive a rake of opinions. From your more recent posts the situation sounds very convoluted and messy but I think you're quite right to back off now and let things take their course. From what you say, your friend is more than capable of taking care of herself. I should just leave them to get on with it if I were you.

    The lyrics are from Tell me on a Sunday :-)
    It aint over til I've done singing....

    In response to the 10 year old who wrote those lyrics above... cool song, do you jam to it on your iPod? Nice! :)

    It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber
    The song is about a woman being told of her boyfriend's infidelity. The woman denies this initially, before rebuking her newsbearer (a girlfriend) with the revelation that she "knew before" and had done for some time. She also spends much of the song criticising her friend for rushing to break the "bad news" to her.

    Pretty apt, I think.

    Ah! Wrong musical! Seem to recall it was in the charts around the same time as 'Don't cry for me Argentina' (hence my mistake :o). Showing my age now....
