103 is a serious age to reach!
To this day I never knew what he was saying, nor did I ever think to find out.
It's 9:25 on a warm Saturday morning a few stops outside Tokyo. I'm at work and we're about to start our manufacturing run in less than a minute. Machines are spinning up. I'm eating a sandwich at the desk. Not just any sandwich. A crustless, Japanese sandwich sealed at the edges.
And now I know what he was saying in the song. And it's all thanks to you, you lovely person.

Ennio Morricone, Prolific Italian Composer for the Movies, Dies at 91
"The Italian composer, who scored more than 500 films — seven for his countryman Leone after they had met as kids in elementary school — died in Rome following complications from a fall last week in which he broke his femur.
'Days of Heaven,' 'The Mission,' 'Cinema Paradiso', 'The Untouchables', 'Bugsy', 'A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More', 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', 'Once Upon a Time in the West' and 'The Hateful Eight' to name but a few.
He did not like the term “spaghetti Western” and noted that his work in that genre represented just a fraction of his career.
That is obvious, as his brilliant body of work includes collaborations with other notable directors like Gillo Pontecorvo (1966’s The Battle of Algiers), Don Siegel (1970’s Two Mules for Sister Sara), Bernardo Bertolucci (1976’s 1900), John Boorman (1977’s Exorcist II: The Heretic), Edouard Molinaro (1978’s La Cage aux Folles), John Carpenter (1982’s The Thing), William Friedkin (1987’s Rampage), Brian De Palma (1987’s The Untouchables), Pedro Almodovar (1989’s Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!), Franco Zeffirelli (1990’s Hamlet), Wolfgang Petersen (1993’s In the Line of Fire), Mike Nichols (1994’s Wolf) and Warren Beatty (1998’s Bulworth)."
