I had to listen to this after reading Lonemum's quoting of the lyrics.

Tesco stores shut in security alert
Fourteen Tesco supermarkets across the country have been closed in what some reports said was a bomb scare.
Police refused to give details of the incidents, beyond saying the 'safety alert' was a precaution.
Officers from Hertfordshire, where the firm has its headquarters, said no-one had been hurt.
The force said they had launched a criminal investigation following a series of threats made to the stores.
In a statement, they said: 'Police in Hertfordshire have launched a criminal investigation following a series of threats made to 14 Tesco stores across the country that occurred today.
'Police were alerted immediately and have liaised with Tesco throughout the day. Public safety has been of paramount importance to all involved.'
Police said the closures affected stores in Lancashire, Suffolk, Dyfed Powys in Wales, Fife and Strathclyde in Scotland, Leicestershire, Humberside, West Mercia, West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and London.

The Tortoise and the Hippo
@ 2007-07-14 – 20:36:33
My sister sent me this in an email and I thought it was quite 'touching' so I am sharing it with you.
A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa , officials said.
The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.
"It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," said ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park.
"After it was swept away and lost its mother, the
hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother.
Fortunately , it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist
added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it
followed its mother.
If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes
aggressive as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu
added.
"The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very
tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay
with their mothers for four years," he explained."Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away."
This is a real story that shows that our differences
don't matter much when we need the comfort of another.We could all learn a lesson from these two creatures.
"Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk
the path together."
