i love Gipi's pizza Print
Friday, 02 June 2006
just had Gipi's pizza sitting on the lounge room floor in front of the heater with Steve. How did we manage the incredible blessing of living just down the road from an AMAZING pizza joint? How does Emmanuel make the Roma with added artichokes so good?? not to mention the way the roast eggplant melts in your mouth..

What a week it's been for getting life moving again. The first load of festival applications off in the mail, progress with learning to programme my new line 6 bass pod FX unit & joy of joys- a brand new song! It's a strange little ditty inspired by getting not one but TWO parking fines in the mail, & bemoaning the usual missed phone calls & forgotten tasks that plague my day to day existence. I think I have finally embraced how my schedule will always be dutifully mangled by this fuzzy brain, & where would I be without friends who understood...

All messed up

All my best friends are fuck-ups
All my best friends are losers & freaks
Habitual dreamers all scheming to throw the whole world
in a completely different spin

 All my best friends know I’m hopeless
& I still find it hard to believe they’re still around
while I juggle these struggles, this tug-of-war to reconcile
the beautiful mess that we’re in

 But they keep me dreaming on
Turn a tear into a song
Constantly amazed to find I’m raised by forgiveness
They keep me strong

 All my best friends push the limits
All my best friends can hardly pay the rent
Ambitious with wishes while dishes go mouldy
& bills are all outlined in red

 All my best friends cross the threshold
All my best friends are imperfectly gorgeous
Investing in friendship while restlessly questioning
every damn word that gets said

But all my best friends live in colour
All my best friends choose their words like fine wine
& I’m picking & grinning this stingin’ little ditty singin’
thanks for the light that you’ve shed

For you keep me dreaming on
Sing a smile into a song
Constantly amazed to find I’m raised by forgiveness
You keep me strong

I always wanted to be special
I always wanted to be one of a kind
But that just means you’re different
& different’s just a nicer word for all messed up
