I know the line doesn't rhyme; it's not supposed to. Basically, this is set a bit after the movie, the exact time doesn't matter. Jareth had some feelings for Sara, but screwed up. Obviously, being the narcissistic perfectionist that he is, it bugs him even though no one else noticed.
Review, please, and thank you!
