"Hailing from up-state New York, this was Chicago-based Nice Peter's U.K. debut, kicking off a tour extending from darkest Barrow to deepest Devon. He specializes in a uniquely infectious brand of intelligent yet refreshingly scatological comic observation, accompanying himself with some proficient guitar-work that takes in a range of blues-rock styles. Be clear - Nice Peter is a skilled musician and lyricist first and-foremost - this is no stand-up comic hawking round a battered acoustic for laffs. The delivery is first-class, the content consistently forthright and devastatingly hilarious. Subject matter ranges from Peter's clearly autobiographical experiences as a (tru) Chicago gangster and LA porn star, to the tribulations of getting laid under a totalitarian fundamentalist government. Nice Peter's set was exhilaratingly funny and enthusiastically received - my personal highlight being perhaps the funniest opening line to any song ever - the simply peerless "I shaved my balls today..." And the good news is, Nice Peter is planning a return tour, provided enough folks buy a CD or two first."

Best Spot In The Lot
Nice Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahhh, the best spot in the lot.
Oh, everything's not easy but I'm doing what I can.
I find my own reasons to party down and dance.
I still get all excited 'bout the little things in a day,
like green lights and elevators ready right away.
It's finding a five dollar bill in your pocket that you forgot you ever had,
Forgetting to ask for the ketchup at Wendy's but they still put it in the bag.
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
There's a hundred things that happen to my day that try to keep me down,
but I only remember the one that made me feel like I'm running this town.
I step out of my car like a king with my head held high and pride in my chest,
I doesn't really matter what I just did, it only matters that I did it my best!
Oh yeah!
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
take it to the bridge
Sometimes I park at a store that I didn't even want to go to,
just because they have the
Best spot in the lot
Best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
The best spot in the lot
