Dezzy Gets a Second Chance But Does the Same Old Thing...Apr 10 '07 (Updated Feb 28 '10) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line I'll drink a toast to Penny; you'd best find your boyfriend soon! It's Desmond time again, from the same episode as before. Here, he's grumbling to himself about his recent experience following an attempt by Charlie to find out what he's been up to. To the tune of Dan Fogelberg's Same Old Lang Syne. A Flash Before My Eyes I'm sorry, brother; you don't want to know - And if you knew, you'd not believe - What I have felt, the things I've heard and viewed, All the insights I've received... I struggled to enlighten John at first And said his plan was suicide. But when that failed, I made the whole hatch burst, Hoping Kelvin hadn't lied. With crimson droplets drying on my hand, I woke bewildered on the floor, Beholding Penny, who I cherish And I had feared I'd see no more. Still dazed and wondering if it was true, I sought her father for a chat To speak the words I hadn't dared before, But he pounded my dreams flat. He drank a toast to privilege, So icy and high-brow, As his derision drove me to the edge. Could I defy him now? Armed with a second chance, I wouldn't let The moment pass. I had to try. Forget her father! I would make a stand With the best ring I could buy. Yes, I intended to propose to her, But in another flash I knew That I must leave her, though it tore My tarnished heart and soul in two. That creepy woman from the jewelry store Declared to me while my head swirled That hurting Penny was my destiny And I had to save the world. He drank a toast to privilege, So icy and high-brow, As his derision drove me to the edge. Could I defy him now? He drank a toast to privilege; I stammered in surprise, Reliving my abasement in A flash before my eyes. I sadly stumbled to the pub that night, Reviewing my distressing day. Was it self-sacrifice or just self-doubt? Did it need to end that way? Was I heroic or was I a fool? I contemplated it, and then I opened up my eyes and I was on This island once again.
