In a perfect world… Cellular towers would be located in the backyards of people who: 1. fail to cut off their cell phones and/or answer cell phones in movie theaters, etc.; 2. are majority stockholders in telecommunications companies 3. Hi, Opal (I am told that is protocal) I say, go ruin the vista you enjoy from your own breakfast nook, ya creeps. What would happen in **your** perfect world? ---

In my perfect world, •The temperature would always be between 30ºF and 70ºF (roughly 0ºC to 21ºC). •The wind would only blow on warm days. •Nobody would have to work before 11AM. ---

I’d be driving a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 312 c.i. Thunderbird Interceptor under the hood and **racinchikki** in the passenger seat. ---

In my perfect world: -The countergirl at my local coffee place would realize that when I say room for milk, I really, honestly want room for milk. -Barnes and Noble would always have any book I want in stock. -My dog would be housebroken and I could bring him up to school with me. ---

In a perfect world…hmmmm… all of the tissue boxes would have pretty colors and patterns on them instead of walls for my apartment, I could hae bookcases filled with books, movies, CDs, tapes, records, and slinkies bread wouldn’t go stale the 3rd day that its been in your home Christmas lights would be appropriate year-long decor fruit loops would come in packages with just the green, blue and purple ones (the ones that I like) tampons would be free (along with shampoo, conditioner, face and body wash, spoofys, toothpaste and toothbrushes, deoderant…other basic hygeine supplies) pantyhose were never invented ---

The Pietasters, “Perfect World,” copyright 1993 Fudge Gun Music (BMI) In a perfect world, I know your name And in a perfect world we’d be the same Perfect world I’d let you know And in a perfect world I’d let you go Perfect world I would love you And in a perfect world I’d hate you too Perfect world I see your face And in a perfect world you’d know your place But it doesn’t seem to be that way All my friends left yesterday, never know just what to say to you In a perfect world you’d understand And in a perfect world you’d hold my hand Perfect world you won’t know me And in a perfect world just wait and see Perfect world could be right here Perfect world you won’t be near Perfect world I’d run away And in a perfect world you’ll come to stay But I don’t know how to live my life Dopes they cut me like a knife Never want to take that away 'cause of you. (chorus: I’m not living in a perfect world, I’m just looking for that perfect girl. I’m not living, no I’m not living, I’m not living thanks to you.) In a perfect world without you And in a perfect world I know what to do Perfect world you’d be so far And in a perfect world we’d never be apart Perfect world I wouldn’t care at all Perfect world I’m not in for a fall Perfect world you’re by my side And in a perfect world I’m along for the ride That’s the world that I’m living in Sell my soul for a fifth of gin Going to hell for just one sin, and that’s you. That’s the world that I’m living in Sell my soul for a fifth of gin Going to hell for just one sin, and that’s you. (These folks are my friends, but I think this song may have been “borrowed” from another band. Any ideas?)
