It's simple. You want to know what life is? Life is...

oh yes, there was a Procol Harem thingy, on the second side of the
album "Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" called
"In Held Twas I" in which the story of a pilgrim is told, where he
attempts to gain an audience with the Dali Lama, finally gets it,
asks the meaning of life, and the Dali Lama replies, "Well my son,
life is just a <I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS WORD>, isn't it?"
