Comment:

This year's title is from a conversation with my grandmother and her solicitor, when I gamely suggested that having to write a document entrusting everything in your life to someone else wasn't such a bad thing after all, and possibly even something I should do; the solicitor kept telling me I could fall off a horse at any time (!), and Grandma interjected, 'and there's always the proverbial bus...'

I'm still not sure about including Horchata, but it's there for now. The Tegan and Sara song sneaks in as it was released as a single/video in 2010.
