WEDDING CAKE IN EUROPE

PARODY OF WIDE AWAKE IN EUROPE

FAD (LIVE)

A SORT OF HOMECOOKING (LIVE)

THE THREE CUPSIZES

LUNCH COMES FUMBLING

NOVEMBER 2010

WEDDING CAKE IN EUROPE 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 Other releases of note around the world included the original 12" vinyl of Boy in Japan - withdrawn after a few months and re-issued on the Polystar label.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.

HERSHEY (LIVE)

PARODY OF MERCY (LIVE)

I was drinking some wine

And then smoking some bud

A chocolate acquisition

Does sound very good

Ya know I need chocolate, honey

I want sugar!

Don't want no substitution

So put away that burger

If you were nice

You'd saunter to the store

I would hope

For some Hershey bars

Bring me an arm load

Won't you be my hero

I want chocolate things

Got no dineros

I've cottage cheese

And some beef ground

I've condensed milk

And pork rounds

But I am aching

There's no chocolate in this home

I'm agitating

I can't drive cuz I'm too stoned

I'm tripping my britches

I must demand some grub

I'm digging for riches

But I'm shit out of luck

I feel pretty high

I've must get you

To bring me supplies

I will beg again

Owe you one again...again

If I hunger, baby

You best feed it

If you're smart you would

Baby, really speed it

If acquiesce to my throes: sex!

I've guaranteed it

I'm hungry

Too much!

I'm always hungry

So much!

You have got to get what I seek

Only then will you

Romance my physique

I will beg again

Owe you once again...again

I, I can't help myself

I need some choc

There's nothing

There's just nothing here

Now do the run

I'm jonesing

Now do the run

I'm jonesing

I will beg again

Owe you one again

Please, go sometime this century

Wish they had home delivery

I will beg again

Owe you one again

An injustice

This scarcity

Jonesing for it

Asperity

I'm deprived again

Deprived

I am deprived

Baby, I'll beg again

And again and again and again

And again and again

Again

I’ll Get Crazy Bread

If We Get

Little Caesars

Tonight (LIVE)

PARODY OF I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight (LIVE)

And you know it’s time to eat

Mother has made a Thanksgiving feast

She’s been cooking since the morning

We’re called in the distance

And you’re hungry so that’s fine

You skipped lunch for dinnertime

And your stomach growls

In sweet anticipation

Oh, oh, oh...

To mother’s we shall run

For homecooked fare

For homecooked fare tonight

And you hope that it won’t be like last year

We are seated when the tables set

Seems for some reason Mother’s upset

See faces frown and then glumly

Offer assistance

And we give our thanks to the Lord

While the kids’ shoving & giggles are ignored

Disinterested

Inebriated

Mother can’t stand up on her own

Okay...somebody, somebody, somebody

Hide the wine!

Somebody, somebody, somebody

Hide the wine!

Oh, oh, oh...

And the food is overdone

To the kitchen we run

We all fight the fire back

Homecooked fare?

Try nightmare!

Tonight...

Let’s order in tonight

I believe we have no choice

But to soldier on

There’ll be food tonight...

Tonight

Okay...somebody, somebody, somebody

A menu find!

Somebody, somebody, somebody

A menu find!

The kitchen is black, charcoaled pine

Like a bomb-blast went off there

No one finds the words

Mom just screams…

Tonight, the menu on the fridge

We’ll order from the pizza man

Order a pie...leave Mom be

She will cry and sober up

Tonight

And as far as Thanksgivings go

Through the ages this family’s known

Though Mom cooked since morning

It wasn’t all that bad

So tomorrow Mom might weep

But tonight

At last

We loved being home

More Mints

For Offender (LIVE)

PARODY OF Moment Of Surrender (LIVE)

I tried not raising ire

She adds to courses: garlic

Laying cloves entire

Till the ire stayed with me

She’s prone to halitosis

She’ll render me unconscious

Two rolls of mints she’ll need

And just one roll of Certs on me

Leaving me dreading to stay

I fret myself will tire

Oh, God!

I lose desire!

It’s not that I don’t breathe in her love

But if she breathes on me...

Please, don’t breathe on me!

I need more mints for offender

I scolded at the breeze

Now would she notice me passing out

Or would notice if I flee?

I don’t want to be an asshole

But I halt her in our parked car

My gag reflex is out of control

I’m gagging

Breaking tact

Gagging

Breaking tact

And I start for the window

Down it rolls

To the window I must convalesce

To the window I turn...

The smells don’t cease

Take their toll

I was scrunching in my slumber

Having a real lucid dream

She’d kiss me despite my objections

Her face sharing strong cuisine

I need more mints for offender

Derision over transferability

She always notices me passing gas

Yet okay doing this to me

We were eating at a cafe

Chewed with patience, sat across

Every time I start to share my dismay

Chocking sounds

While my eyes they popped

Get some more mints for offender

Excision of this irritability

She does not notice that her mouth

Had really injusticed me

No, no, no, no, no, no!
