Pizza Boy

Jim Bob

Pizza boy
Will you deliver me some words of joy
I'm sick and tired of all the hate and war
And I just need something more

Paper boy
Will you deliver me some words of joy
I'm sick and tired of all the hate and war
And I just need something more

Postman, please
I don't want bills for my utilities
You can keep 'em for another day
Or throw them all away

I want good news, happy news
Monkey-in-a-nappy news
A big fat tabby cat
Fostering an orphan rat
A dog in a wig or a pig on a diet
If you can't give me peace, then give me quiet

Politician, oh
I don't care about your manifesto
I can live without more thin, disguised
Or bare-faced lies today

Jehovah's, hey
Would you leave my door alone today
I agree the world is in a state
But I'm in no mood for debate

I don't need awakening
Fixing or straightening
I do my own catering
Paint-and-decoratoring
I don't need to prove myself to anyone politically
And I don't want to move from gas to electricity

I believe
It's just as good to give as to receive
But chugger, I'm compassion fatigued
And world-wearied right now

I don't need a rock star to tell me what my morals are
I doubt you can change things in a Golden Circle drinking Pimm's
I don't need the Queen of Pop to lecture me and tell me off
And I don't need a guilt trip from the head of Microsoft

Parcelforce
Bring me a boxset of Inspector Morse
I'll phone for pizza and for garlic bread
I'm going back to bed

Pizza boy
Will you deliver me some words of joy
I'm sick and tired of all the hate and war
And I just need something more

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
