\"041309\"<\/a>I stumbled across this at Pasadena City College Swap Meet last Sunday. The college seems to be in a constant state of construction, and someone had dropped it in the grass – a missing part for a mystery structure.<\/p>\n

It put me in mind of this Todd Rundgren song<\/a>, the lyrics of which go something like this<\/a> …<\/code><\/p>\n

I’ve been wrong
\nI had plans so big
\nBut the devil’s in the details
\nI left out one thing
\nNo one to love me
\nNo one to love me
\nNo one to love<\/p>\n

For the want of a nail, the world was lost
\nFor the want of a nail, the world was lost<\/p>\n

For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost
\nFor the want of a shoe, the horse was lost
\nFor the want of a horse, the rider was lost
\nFor the want of a rider, the message was lost<\/p>\n

For the want of a rider, the message was lost
\nFor the want of a message, the battle was lost
\nFor the want of a battle, the war was lost
\nFor the want of a war, the kingdom was lost<\/p>\n

(such a tiny thing)<\/p>\n

You’re askin’
\nWhats all this talk about horses and war?
\nPut yourself in the place of the man at the forge
\nAnd day after day you live a life without love
\ntil the morning you cant take it anymore
\nAnd you dont get up<\/p>\n

Multiply it a billion times
\nSpread it all round the world
\nPut the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl
\nUntil everybodys kicking, everybodys scratching
\nEverything seems to fail
\nAnd it was all for the want of a nail<\/p>\n

Tell me what else could the answer be
\nDont hold back now
\nGive me all your love
\nJust a little more love
\nA little tiny bit of love<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
