Jessica

276 words on

More lyrics from the Friends of Mine album. I thought Jessica shouldn't be one of my favourite songs, particularly after I learned that Jessica Simpson is some kind of American pop starlet – instead of an old school mate, say. Nonetheless I've been humming the song all day, so I guess it's better if I put it up here now.

Jessica Simpson
where has your love gone
it's not in your music, no.

You need a vacation
to wake up the cavemen
and take them to Mexico.

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
you've got it all wrong
your fraudulent smile
the way that you faked it
the day that you die.

My body's in shambles
encrusted with brambles
that sharpen the air I breathe.

What's on the menu?
Jessica can you
take down my order please?

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
you've got it all wrong
your fraudulent smile
the way that you faked it
the day that you die.

Tomorrow gets closer
a purple bulldozer
is calling you on the phone.

Your love live precedes you
your son-in-law feeds you
injections of cortisone.

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
you've got it all wrong
your fraudulent smile
the way that you faked it
the day that you die.

Jessica Simpson
where has your love gone?
It's not in your music
So where has it gone then?

Jessica?

Adam Green, Jessica

Random bits: In the song 'Mexico' is mentioned as is a restaurant / waitress scene – in Musical Ladders Adam sings of a Mexican waitress. While none of Adam Green's music can be bought at the iTunes music store, there is a rich choice of Jessica Simpson songs. Sadly.

Yep, Jessica Simpson’s pretty dire, teen-pop-by-numbers stuff. She’s kind of a cut-rate Britney Spears.

I also thought Jessica was a girlfriend he had long ago. Can it be just a coincidence ?

‘Ex-girlfriend’ was my first thought as well, when I heard the song. (Not that I know anything about Adam’s life). But Dave’s comment and the music references make a strong point for the pop singer.

Have you seen the video?

Deutsch ist schon OK… Komisch, daß das hier bei Google so gut zu finden ist.

Schon das Video zum Lied gesehen - mit dem absurden Tischtennisgespiele?

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with an ex-girlfriend is an idiot. Throughout the whole song hes making fun of jessica simpson and how fake she and her music is. Its a great song though.

Once you know that a pop singer of that name exists, it’s pretty obvious.

But for people outside the U.S. (who apparently have been spared so far) or even those within who don’t follow creepy pop music it is far less obvious as ‘Jessica Simpson’ will just be another name.
