LYRICS
There's a fine, fine line
between investment grade and junk
There's a fine, fine line
between liquidity and a crunch
And you never know 'til you settle up
if the credit is benign
There's a fine, fine line
between a gain and a painful decline
There's a fine, fine line
between the theories and the facts
And there's a fine, fine line
between what's solid and what cracks
And now my holdings badly misbehave
and my losses aren't confined
'Cause there's a fine, fine line
between a gain and a painful decline
For years I piled on debt
and smiled as my profits soared
(I even bought a solid gold toilet, yeah)
Now I see that I can't
be levered this much any more
(panicking, I'm panicking, I think I've
soiled myself)
Bernanke, please save me,
cut rates, oh I implore...
(please, even 50 bps)
There's a fine, fine line
between a bull and a bear
And there's a fine, fine line
between delight and despair
I'm hoping I'll avoid the pain to come
from trades yet to unwind
But there's a fine, fine line
between a gain
and a crippling, crushing,
mortally wounding decline
(help me)

have to dig to find 'em... she freelances for
Wired Magazine if that helps.

NOTE: Before you make a "poor artist has
rights" comment, read the TechCrunch article
so you're at least informed (the photo in
question would constitute fair-use according
to copyright lawyers). And this is not an
artist versus a big corporation that is
monetizing her stuff. This is an accomplished
Wired contributor picking on some struggling
a Capella musicians that did a funny video
using her photo for about a second (and then
crediting her the best they could). Do you
suppose she credits the people in her photos,
and sends them checks?

PS I am obviously very supportive of artist
rights. This is just bullying, and The
Richter Scales can't afford to say so without
suffering a PR disaster.
