Lyrics: Yesterday's song was of course Evanescence's My Immortal from 2003, another shipper-story anthem. :) It was identified by pythonblossom, lareinenoire, sporkyadrasteia, virginia_bell, and lupinslittlesis.

Oh well, for this one I might as well continue the theme of songs I like despite how naff they're meant to be. :) This should be an easy one, although bonus points if you know who did the original version!

"Children, behave!"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play!"
They don't understand
And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding onto one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
and we tumble to the ground ... (1960s, big hit cover version 1980s)

Political innumeracy

Two recent stories make me despair at the inability of our journos to handle anything mathematical with basic competence ...
