Pulpo á feira (Galician name literally meaning "fair style octopus") alternatively known as pulpo estilo feira and pulpo á la gallega is a traditional Spanish Galician dish.
This dish is prepared by first boiling the octopus inside a copper cauldron. Before actually boiling it, the octopus is repeatedly dipped in and out of the boiling water, held by its head. The objective of this operation is to curl the tips of the tentacles. The tentacles are preferred over the head, which sometimes is discarded. The tendrils are sometimes best cherished by children. After the octopus has been boiled, it is trimmed with scissors, sprinkled with coarse salt and paprika (known in Galicia as pemento picante) and drizzled with olive oil. The optimal cooking point is the one in which octopus is not rubbery but not overcooked either, similarly to the al dente concept in Italian pasta cooking. This is achieved after approximately a 20 minutes boil, provided that the octopus is left to rest for a further 20 minutes inside the boiled water away from the fire.
First you let him in your bed. Now he's moved inside your head.
And he directs all the dreams you are dreaming.
I saw a friend of yours today
She called me over just to say "I dunno if you've seen her lately but God she's looking rough".
No don't go round to see him tonite, he's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time & do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
'Do you think he'll fall apart? Do you think you'll break his heart?
If you leave him on his own.
You are dreaming 'cos he can fasten all his clothes, tie his laces, blow his nose.
It's time to teach him how to walk, yeah, teach your baby how to walk away.
No don't go round to see him tonite...
You're not his mother & you're not sister & brother.
He's not even your lover. He's just a piece of luggage you should throw away.
No don't go round tonite...etc. No don't go round tonite, you'll never make it right.
He's already made such a mess of your life.
