This
Fanfare For The Comic Muse song was also on the
Active Studio demo. As far as the lyrics are concerned, there's only a slight difference.
It's a sad love song about a couple on the verge of splitting.
The phrase "ignorance is bliss" might be taken from Thomas Gray's "Ode to a Distant Prospect on Eton College".
