"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."

Nice Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
annoying as hell.
I just wanna read my quiet little book and, you're not making it easier.
No one wants to hear about your wedding.
Or whatcha' gonna wear when your best friend back into town, this isn't a phone booth it's a commute.
So why don't you stop your yapping, enjoy the ride!
Talk to your friend on a seperate occaision life is so peaceful and quiet at times.
So please, Shut.
Fuck.
UP!
Whoah-oh-oh.
Well you're talking on the street with your headset and you look like, Jordy the Forge (such a douchebag).
I just wanna feed these quiet little birds and, you're not makin' it easier.
And no one gives a shit about your golf game!
Or what you're gonna where when your friend's boss dates you.
I'm out to lunch, this isn't your office!
it's a beautiful day...
You fucking douchebag.
So why don't ya' stop ya' yapping, enjoy the sun.
Talk to your friend when you're in private, life is so peaceful and quiet at times.
Silence is golden, so PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Woah-oh-oh.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
Yeah, that was good.
Lots of love me xxxxxx
The lyrics to Nice Peter's song Cell Phones express the frustration and annoyance that many people feel towards those who talk on their cell phones in public places, specifically on trains and on the street. The singer is trying to enjoy a peaceful moment reading a book or feeding birds, but is constantly interrupted by the loud and irrelevant conversations of others. The use of profanity, while strong, effectively conveys the intensity of the singer's emotions and highlights the disruption that cell phone conversations can bring to a peaceful environment.
The singer suggests that those who want to talk to their friends should do so on a separate occasion, as life can be peaceful and quiet at times. This implies that the singer values moments of silence and tranquility, which are often disrupted by conversations held on cell phones in public places. By asking others to shut up and enjoy the ride or the beauty of the day, the singer is advocating for more civility and consideration in public spaces.
Overall, the song is a humorous and relatable commentary on the use of cell phones in public, highlighting the annoyance and distraction they can bring into otherwise peaceful surroundings.
