JANUARY 2002

7-ELEVEN was the first of three albums to be produced by Steve Lillywhite and was released in October 1980. The original sleeve featured the 'boy' Peter Rowan but Warner Bros, fearing controversy, released a different album cover in North America, featuring a stretched and distorted picture of the band. Other releases of note around the world included the original 12" vinyl of Boy in Japan - withdrawn after a few months and re-issued on the Polystar label. In several countries, Boy was also re-issued on 5" CD in April 1995 as part of the Island Master series. This Island Masters re-issue featured higher quality paper and extra pictures from the original LP's inner sleeve. On the heels of the UK and Ireland release of SOY, in Sweden they released a limited blue vinyl pressing, with identical sleeves and catalog number to the UK edition.

SOME FARE PLAIN

PARODY OF Summer Rain

Penne slop cuz I’m hungry

Plastic pasta bowl

Design on the case

Says to zap 4 minutes or so

Pull back top improves chances

The heat’s evenly split

But if microwave’s stronger

Man, it’ll burn your shit

Oh, oh...

I toss what’s left

This is some fare plain

I toss what’s left

This is some fare plain

This is some fare lame

Spaghetti and Meatballs?

Gourmet Premium!

It’s Michelina’s

Money spent on dung

Pizza Snack Rolls:

An ungenerous 3!

Macaroni with pseudo ‘cheese’

Tried new brands

Chicken strips?

Gave a whirl!

Golden in breadth

In garbage I hurl

I toss what’s left

This is some fare plain

I toss what’s left

This is some fare plain

This is some fare lame

Roll eyes when I see

Box says, “quality”

A riddle fit to tease any chef

Roll eyes when I see

Box says, “guaranteed”

I shoulda let it be on the shelf

I toss what’s left

This is some fare plain

I toss what’s left

This is some fare lame

Parmesan

Italian

Plain

Mexican with Chicken

Roll eyes when I see

Box says, “quality”

A riddle fit to tease any chef

Roll eyes when I see

Box says, “guaranteed”

I shoulda let it be on the shelf

It’s not Sesame Chicken

It’s filler they throw in

It’s not rice that’s steaming

But a bleached white ruse

It’s not really corn

It’s GE and it’s wrong

Genetically tweaked Frankenfoods?

Say, “so long!”

ALL BRAISED

PARODY OF ALWAYS

Steer today

Fawn tomorrow

Rack of bones

Maybe a pot roast

To simmer meat

On low power

Let the pot

Slow burn for hours

What’d we have

That’s gonna be cheap?

All braised

What’ll defrost

For what we need?

All braised

What’ll cook

Even while we sleep?

All braised

Get some carrots

At the market

Cabbage heads

Beets and some oninettes

Coq Au Vin? Yes!

Sauerbraten!

Don’t cook in a furious pace

Controls’ on

And you don’t even have to wait

Can brown

Whatever cut you’ve found

All braised

God, your meals

Will taste endowed

All braised

Once done you’ll beam

And beam so proud

All braised

Internally yours

All braised

You want food

Don’t want so many pans

To wash, that’s all

Swiss Steak

That’ll impress yourself

All braised

You’ll dine on stew

God Himself dealt

All braised

And all your fare

Shall taste quite svelte

All braised

This is the process

To which you’ll swear

All braised

Can’t go wrong

It’s “laisser-faire”

All braised

Wow! That’s so clever!

All braised
