Irony has been called "one of the most beautiful albums to come out of Japan in 2003" with the music compared to an "airy lullaby".
Acetoxy group, abbreviated AcO or OAc, is a chemical functional group of the structure CH3-C(=O)-O-. It differs from the acetyl group CH3-C(=O)- by the presence of one additional oxygen atom. The name acetoxy is the short form of acetyl-oxy.
An acetoxy group may be used as a protection for an alcohol functionality in a synthetic route although the protecting group itself is called an acetyl group.
There are several options of introducing an acetoxy functionality in a molecule from an alcohol (in effect protecting the alcohol by acetylation):
An alcohol is not a particularly strong nucleophile and, when present, more powerful nucleophiles like amines will react with the above-mentioned reagents in preference to the alcohol.
There was a girl
With no conviction
Of how to live much less
To die
And so she dated all the boys
Who would take her
A taste of destruction
And joy
Oh such joy
Prechorus:
They drank wine and danced
And pressed their bodies together
Cos tomorrow is just
Another tomorrow
The candlelight
Burns evil
The candle light
Burns hope
Chorus:
She says I never meant to
Take it that far
And took the keys out of the car
Under the stars And they
Were lost
A long way from home
And so she took another ride
From another Beautiful stranger
There was a boy
who never listened
on how to live much less to die
and so he fell inside a dream of his making
a taste of destruction and joy
oh such joy
Prechorus, Chorus etc
Bridge
Maybe she just needs an answer
Maybe he just needs to be asked
But love is a crowded sinking ship
No one wants to get out of
Chorus
