For some reason, Jennifer Cutting was talking about stickers on fruit yesterday, but not about the song. -Joe- |

23 Jun 23 - 04:41 AM (#4175275) Subject: ADD: Stickers On Fruit (Nancy White) From: Long Firm Freddie Just a couple of bits I couldn't decipher marked by asterisks: STICKERS ON FRUIT (Nancy White) When I was a girl I was idealistic Goin’ on the marches, carryin’ the sign Social injustice made me go ballistic I’d chant for the people on the picket line Well the years went by and I got a little weary All tied up in the needs of a child Well I don’t read the papers and I have no theory But there’s one thing that drives me wild I’m talkin’ ‘bout Stickers on fruit! Stickers on fruit! God, I hate those stickers on fruit! My distress is so acute When I deal with stickers on fruit Sticker on a apple, sticker on a pear Why do they put those stickers on there? If you don’t get them off on the very first day They take the skin away I used to get annoyed at the government of Chile I used to boycott Nestle (****onic?) I shed a lot of tears when I watched Free Willy And OJ’s trial just made me sick I sent a lot of benefit to ******? I got agitated by the Agitprop Now I know it's hopeless to right those wrongs But there's one thing we've got to stop Are you with me? Stickers on fruit Stickers on fruit! God, I hate those stickers on fruit! My distress is so acute When I deal with stickers on fruit Stickers on the berries, the red and the blue And of course they put stickers on the vegetables too Well call me thick and call me lazy But dealing with the stickers has made me crazy Stickers on fruit Stickers on fruit! God, I hate those stickers on fruit! Take me away to the institute Where I won't have to deal with stickers on fruit! LFF |

I sent a lot of benefits, I wrote a lot of songs" Still no idea about the onic word - it sounds exactly like that, rhyming with tonic. LFF |

I must have listened to the "onic" bit 30 times or more but still can't make anything else out of it! I hadn't heard of Nancy White before, but I'll certainly enjoy getting to know her back catalogue, so thanks, PHJim, for introducing me to her music! LFF |
