Remembered another one: "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats (don't
know how I forgot this one):
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world

The back-story is that she went postal in her school, and her excuse when
she was collared was "I don't like Mondays"; sigh...
It was about the 1979 Cleveland Elementary School shooting in San Diego.
