 December 4, 2002 | Breakfast for Champions Lyrics
[ News ] From Paul
"Breakfast for Champions"
posted 12-03-2002 12:55 PM

I'm sitting down to a breakfast for champions
Vodka and eggs with my whiskey and aspirin
It's a day in my life, but it's not like the rest of them
'Cause last night I got drunk on love, it was ecstacy
And I was thinking it won't be the end of me
I'm not counting on you, I'm counting a lot on me

And you say change, but I won't change
And you say stay, well here I go again

Out here on my own, I don't need anything
And I don't need anyone, and here I go again
I'm on my way and I know you won't find me
I've been around the whole world in one day

Lend me your words and I'll whisper a story
Of a confident girl, a queen and her glory
Who found you a heart, but lost her own head in the end

And you say change, but I won't change
And you say stay, well here I go again

Out here on my own, I don't need anything
And I don't need anyone, and here I go again
I'm on my way and I know you won't find me
I've been around the world in one day

And I give it up, I give enough for you to just forget me
I get ahead, I catch you up as if you'd ever let me
So in the end I figure out how to do it my own way
Baby here I go again
Here I go

And you say change, but I won't change
And you say stay
And here I go again

Out here on my own, I don't need anything
And I don't need anyone, and here I go again
I'm on my way and I know you won't find me
I've been around the whole world in one day

And I give it up, I give enough for you to just forget me
I get ahead, I catch you up as if you'd ever let me
So in the end I figure out how to do it my own way
Baby here I go again

    Some random things, here is my Halloween costume (this picture is on my work's intranet website):

    Here are some cds I bought recently:
  • Bjork - Family Tree (Limited Edition)
  • Nirvana - Nirvana
  • T.A.T.U. - All the Things She Said (single, 2002)
  • Clinic - Walking With Thee (2002)
  • Donnas - Spend the Night (Limited, with DVD, 2002)
  • Le Tigre - Remix (EP, 2001)
  • Uncut - A Tribute to John Lennon (Free with Uncut Magazine, Nov 2002)
  • Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk (Limited Edition, 2002)
  • Gorillaz - G Sides (2002)
  • Ash - Free All Angels (US Edition, with DVD, June 2002)
  • Weezer - Maladroit (2002)
  • Weezer - The Lion and the Witch (Live EP, 2002)
  • Pulp - We Love Life (US Edition, 2002)
  • Strokes - Is This It (US Limited, with DVD, 2002)
  • Eyes and Ears (Promo DVD, 2002)
  • They Might Be Giants - Working Undercover for the Man (Promo EP, 2001)
  • What is really cool these days are "free" DVDs. Since they're cheap to produce, it is a great marketing tool. I'm all about the free DVDs! The "Eyes and Ears" DVD includes full videos for Coldplay, Clinic, OK Go, Doves (and more), is a great DVD to have in your collection (especially because it is free from Clear Channel.)

    As for Ash, I already own the UK version to "Free All Angels" but when I saw them live I had to buy the US edition (which was only $10, plus a free DVD). The DVD is great, it includes a documentary, five videos, some b-sides, and more! It's just so good to see these "Special Editions" on music CDs (although it sucks if you already own the original release...)

    And please: do not make fun of my T.A.T.U. CD, it was free (2 track, plus video). Archived CDs can be found here: CDs.

    I'm actually glad to see Stretch Princess's new album for $9.99 at Best Buy. All CD prices should be in this range, if you ask me.

    Anyway, here are just a small sample of CDs I bought last year. Unfortunately, because of the high cost of packaged CDs these days, I probably won't buy many albums this year. The record company simply must develop better packaging (I love digipaks) or include bonus discs, etc. I must admit I buy twice or three times as much DVDs these days.

  • Momus - 20 Vodka Jellies (2002 US)

    G'Day, it's James from Stretch Princess. How're you all doing? We're back in New York at the moment, and it is very, very hot. It is about 100 degrees.

    We've just finished doing our artwork for the new record - we're very excited about that. It's coming out looking amazing.

    The record should coming out on August the 6th, and it is definitely coming out on August the 6th, and it is called "Fun with Humans." And, the single, as you probably know, is called "Freakshow", which is being played all over the country and radio stations at the moment. We're going to be visiting those radio stations next week. We're going to Las Vegas, hopefully we won't lost too much money. We're going to Austin, TX, and we're going to Dallas, as well.

    We're also going to be stopping in LA to do a video for Freakshow, which is something we're all looking forward to. And.. in the meantime, if you want to get involve, you can sign up with our Street Team, online on the website. I hope you're all well. That's all the news for now, take care for now, bye.

    Hey everyone! It’s been a while...a long while. I wanted to write and let you all know what’s been happening with us over the last few months leading up to the release of our new record "Fun With Humans," out on August 6th!!!

    We finished making the record in December. It was recorded in New York and Los Angeles and hopefully will come to mean as much to you as it does to us, and that the long wait between our records will have all been worth it! We have to say a big thank you to everyone for still being there for us - now we can all get excited together!!!

    The first single is called "Freakshow"...it’s about a girl (now who could that be?!?!)…who has broken up with her boyfriend and needs to get back all the stuff she’s left at his house. We’ve been busy travelling the states, visiting radio stations and the song is already getting airplay! We’ve also been out and about doing some big live shows - soon we’ll be on the road properly and will get to come and play for all you guys. James, Dave and I are soooo excited to have this new record and can’t wait for you to hear it...we all have clean underwear on and are ready to go!!!

    So until we can tell you in person, we want to say a massive thank you once again for all your support, it’s really kept us going!

    love,
    jo

    [ News ] From James Wright, via Stretchprincess.com
    6/13/2002: G'Day, this is James, from Stretch Princess. I'm just calling in to let you know what's going with us on the road, it's been about four weeks since my last confession.

    And in that time, we've been up and down the west coast. We've been to such places like, Sacramento and Seatle and Portland, playing radio shows and going to conference rooms and and singing to people. And still being exciting. So exciting, in fact, that a couple of stations have invited us back to play their summer festivals.

    On June 16th, Sunday, we are playing Summerfest, or KOSO 93.1 in Modesto, and that's why we're calling, and letting you know - it should be a good show. We're playing around 2 O'clock in the afternoon so it'll be very hot.

    And the next day, Monday, June 17th, we're playing for KCDU 93.5 in the VIP lounge, in the Monterey. We're playing an acoustic set, about eight or nine songs with Dishwalla.

    In other Stretch Princess news, Jo (Lloyd), our lovely singer/bass player, met Alanis Morrissette, the other day. And she has photos to prove it. And apart from that, we've just been busy rehearsing and getting a live set ready to go out and tour this summer.

    Hope you're all well, speak to you soon. Bye.

    6/13/2002 #2: In late breaking Stretch Princess news, this week our single, Freakshow, was released to radio station across the country. It was lucky enough to be added to playlist. Just added to the playlist, actually, just behind Alanis Morrissette, and our label mate, Creed. So that's kinda of our exciting news of the week. Hope everyone is well, speak to you soon. Bye.

    Gimme back my stuff, I want my secrets
    And I want my skin without tattoos
    A __________ policeman
    You broke my heart in two

    Oh I am not about to be
    Ripped by things you did to me
    Though it's not easy to forget

    When I feel like a reject
    From a freakshow
    Kickin' up the white trash
    From the sidewalk
    Listenin' to the sad song
    On the radio
    I wanna go home

    Gimme back my car keys
    And stereo
    Gimme back my t-shirt
    The Rolling Stones
    It's the one with the big red lips on
    That I used to wear in bed

    Oh I am not about to be
    Ripped by things you did to me
    Though it's not easy to forget

    When I feel like a reject
    From a freakshow
    Kickin' up the white trash
    From the sidewalk
    Wishin' on the Death Star
    In the night sky
    Turnin' on my TV
    Watchin' drive-bys
    Listenin' to the sad song
    On the radio
    It's a long way home

    I feel like a reject
    From a freakshow
    Kickin' up the white trash
    From the sidewalk
    *I don't want an ocean
    *For my seashell
    *I just want a boyfriend
    *With a braincell

    When I feel like a reject
    From a freakshow
    Kickin' up the white trash
    From the sidewalk
    Wishin' on the Death Star
    In the night sky
    Watchin' too much TV
    Eatin' french fries
    I feel like a reject
    From a freakshow
    I want to go home

    *Alternate Lyrics (Original lyrics)
    I don't want a deadweight
    On my see-saw
    I wanted a boyfriend
    You're an asshole

    I suddenly realised that there were people still coming to this website when I checked the guestbook. There is a new Stretch Princess song on the official site, which I don't know how long it's been there.

    The last I heard about SP was that shortly after September 11th, I got word that they were OK. Other than that, things have been pretty quiet lately.

    My birthday came and went. Thanksgiving was more memorable as I cooked the turkey. Yes, it was edible. Yes, it was very good.

    This website need an overhaul.

    If you're using Netscape 6.2 then you'd find some glitches fixed. I'm currently using Netscape 6.2 with the American Theme, which looks like this:

    If you're using Internet Explorer 5 or 6, you might want to stop over and download their toolbox wallpaper. I'm am currently using their Mosiac wallpaper:

    As always, this website will still be accessible to early version of Netscape (Gold and 4.x) and Internet Explorer (version 4 to 5), but it is best to view this website with the latest browser. If you experience incompatibility, please let me know.

    Look around, it's a complicated place. You've got to keep a smiling face.

    God, I haven't updated this website for a very, very long time. Anyway, as you may have already figured out, this website is now being hosted by Morrissey-solo. Very very very special thanks to David T. for making this website possible. I really didn't know what I've done with this particular website if David hadn't accepted to host my webpages. So, again, thank you!

    What have I been up to lately ? Not much is the answer. There are some random drawings I quite like being displayed on Sinister Sillustrations (particularly number forty-two and thirty-nine.)

    Given time, I could get tired of all this sleeping. The days are thrown away and the hours that I am keeping...
