Jonathan Coulton performing Ikea live at the Classic Grand in Glasgow, 10th November 2009. (Sorry for the missing first few lines)

IKEA

Long ago in days of yore
It all began with a god named Thor
There were Vikings and boats
And some plans for a furniture store
Its not a bodega, its not a mall
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine
As if there were apartments smaller than mine

Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you dont have a home you can buy one there

So rent a car or take the bus
Lay your cash down and put your trust
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size
Billy the bookcase says hello
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl

Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you dont have a home you can buy one there

Ikea: plywood, brushed steel
Ikea: meatballs, tasty
Ikea: Allen wrenches
All of them for free
All of them for me

Im sorry I said Ikea sucks
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
And a chair and a lamp
And a shelf and some candles for you
I was a doubter just like you
Till I saw the American dream come true
In New Jersey, they got a goddamned Swedish parade

Ikea: just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Ikea: selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you dont have a home you can buy one there

Hi there:) Im going to be living in Dalkeith. Would it be expensive to say, everyday go on a bus ride to glasgow, edinburgh etc etc to explore scotland, or is it not really? if i want to rent out a one bedroom flat, with my partner, how much would we need to earn to survive with food etc? thanks a lot

i suppose it depends on where you are coming from, as to whether you will find living here expensive to be honest

compared to most places in England say, living here is cheaper
rent etc

here is a link for rentals

http://www.s1rental.com/renting/search/forrent_search_results.cgi?location=592

that gives you a rough idea how much that will cost
travel? you will be better buying some kind of travel pass, both Edinburgh and Glasgow have great transport links and negotiating both cities is easy

eating, like everywhere else can be as cheap, or expensive as you allow it to be

i hope you enjoy Scotland

im moving to glasgow with my partner, to rent a flat. He is in college therefore a student, i am going to look for work and im doing a home learning course. Do i have to pay council tax and how does it work?

Yes you have to pay Council Tax. As your partner is counted as a student, you will be counted as a single occupier and therefore entitled to a 25% discount. Get a form from the college to show that your partner is a student and go to the Council office to get your discount.
