When you just can’t Cope
One of our long-running threads, namely, ‘what I sing when I’m in the office’, contains a pleasant surprise for Ben, at Prospect Mailing.
If you remember, he had taken to singing ‘I hate my life and I want to die’, not because it was an amusing pun on a well-known popular song, but because that’s how his job made him feel.
We can offer some comfort, or more precisely, a tune to sing it to: ‘I think you’ll find that "I hate myself and I want to die" are indeed lyrics; specifically from Queen/Mother by Julian Cope,’ suggests Jason Banyard, at Investmaster.
We assume Prospect Mailing wants can-do achievers in its ranks, and probably dislikes being made fun of in newspaper columns. Our suggestion: Ben should curry favour with the boss by suggesting Mr Cope’s snappy tune as the company song.
