The Neil Gaiman song "I Google You" is now online, sung by Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls), with lyrics and all. I got the lyrics from this thread, where they were posted by His Neilness himself.
(The song was orignally written for Peri Lyons, and her version can be found on her Myspace page.)
I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friends
I Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you dance
And I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each one
I know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear
I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you

Så sandt som det er sagt.
Man burde sprænge sin computer i luften. Og Google har klart gjordt ondt værre, det virker alt for godt.
