I'm a piece of work, I'm iron and lace
I'm shy, I'm right up in your face
I'm all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass.
I'm a sweetheart, genius, reckless jerk.
Lord, have mercy, I'm a piece of work.
Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I'd remeber him or her
In the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death-sheet white
Made in the image of a lion shocked lamb
I am who the hell I am
Even better, bad to worse,
Down to the letter, I'm a piece of work.
I'm a piece of work I'm an angels fiend
Bathed in lavender and gasoline
Scared brave, shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistake
I'm zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty, What a piece of work.
I'm a dreadful sight, I just don't care
Spent all morning pull out my hair
Woke at dawn with a crazy spin
I was half the day trying to glue back in
Mother, bloody mary, please
Wipe that smile right off your knees
I'm the CEO of the mailroom clerks
Lord have mercy, I'm a piece of work.
I'm a piece of work, I'm a love sick boy
Cloth cap, caviar, and corduroy
All over the map, justa lost in space
With a filthy mind and a choirboy's face
Heels up, head down, straight on through
Watch out woman, I'm a get to you
I'm a gladiator with a mind to irk
I'm a see you later, I'm a piece of work.
The lyrics PIECE OF WORK of JIMMY BUFFETT is also present in the album License to chill (2004)
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
