Radio Paradise (mobile)

Does anyone remember Tony?
He was a quiet boy, a little overweight, he had breasts like a girl
When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely
I'd stare over his shoulder at a map of the world
He always finished all his homework
Raised his hand in homeroom
For the morning attendance
And the pledge allegiance to the gloom
Hey, Tony, what's so good about dying?
I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror, saw that little faggot staring back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
I hated every day of high school
It's funny, I guess that you did too
Funny how I never knew
And there I was sitting right behind you
They wrote it in the local rag
Death comes to the local fag
I guess you finally stopped believing that any hope would ever find you
I knew that story, I was sitting right behind you
Hey, Tony, what's so good about dying?
I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror, saw that little faggot staring back at him
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Hey, Tony, what's so good about dying?

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away
Hey, Tony, what's so good about dying?

This is one recording that actually benefits (sonically) from ripping it to MP3... I disagree with this, I'm afraid. What I like about the album is the sheer power, vibrancy and range of Patty's voice - for a small woman she has one hell of a big voice. [ Reply ]

sharkartist Aug 30, 2009 - 12:46	For me this song could have been titled "Michael" Just this day before, he chose the wrong path to go down. R.I.P. Michael, you were good people. [ Reply ]
Papernapkin Aug 30, 2009 - 12:42	I like a lot of Patty's stuff. But not this. [ Reply ]

This is one recording that actually benefits (sonically) from ripping it to MP3... If Patty ever felt moved to have it remixed/remastered, I would buy it in a second! Please?

I'd rate the album at least an 8 but for me the weakest song is the title track, "Flaming Red." I always skip right over it. I didn't even put that song on my iPod. [ Reply ]

I never cared much for Bonnie though, but I kinda like Sheryl. I like this song too. A solid 7. Interesting! I've always loved Bonnie, but Patty has taken her spot at the top of my GODDESS OF SONG list. [ Reply ]
