I'm so Little Jack Horner, you're so Little Bo Peep Let's get together in the lunch hour, but we must be discreet I'm not the kind that makes the first fifteen 'cause given half the chance I'd rather pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you Older but no wiser in a military spot The NCO just told the C-in-C everything I'm not I wonder why they wonder why I went A-W-O-L It was to pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you It was to pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you 'Cause you got a style that makes me want to stick with it And you got a smile that just won't quit And you got a walk that makes me wanna walk with it And you got a smell like a magnet Baby I wanna, I wanna, how I wanna Pet you and hold you I wanna pet you and hold you Pet you and hold you Can't get away with murder like all those pin-up boys My middle name spells O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y I come across about as mean as a mouse but I become a lion Each time I pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you Well I pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you I wanna pet you and hold you and pet you Pet you and hold you I wanna you and hold you

Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go Had enough, I can't take any more No pills that I can take This is too real and there ain't no escape At dead of night time, at crack of dawn It comes upon me without warnings Everybody all around me Shaking hands and saying howdy I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up, like a worn out shoe It ain't wet, but the world's leaking through I'd run, but I find no pace I laugh, but it's wrecking me, wrecking me It make a shiver, it make a shake It make a monster, just like an earthquake Everybody havin' fun I don't know how they can carry on Because I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up At dead of night time, at crack of dawn It comes upon me without warning If I were a gunman I would shoot I'd tear the hair out by the root I'd make a knife out of a notion All at sea in an ocean of emotion I don't think it's funny no more I don't think it's funny no more I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up, oh no

As I walk This wicked world Searching' for light in the darkness of insanity, oh yeah I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? And as I walk on Through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes, sometimes So where are the strong? And who are the trusting? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? We must have peace More peace and love It's just for the children of a new generation So where are the strong? And who are the trusting? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

about

Nick Lowe and His Noise To Go rocked Cleveland's Agora Ballroom on February 10, 1982, adding live fury to some of Nick's most celebrated songs. The band rolls through a version of Rockpile's "Pet You and Hold You," followed by an electric performance of "Cracking Up" from Nick's Labour of Lust. The show concludes with a rockin' rendition of Nick's most enduring composition, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?"

about

Nick Lowe London, UK

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. ... more
