Carter USM

Paperboy, 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 them 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 orphaned rat
A dog in a wig or a pig on a diet
If you can't give me peace then give me quiet

Politician no, I don't care about your manifesto
I can live without more thin disguised
Bullshit and lies today

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

I don't need awakening, fixing or straightening
I do my own catering, paint and decorator-ing
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

Parcel Force, bring me a box set 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\\
