OJ
Peter France Lyrics

Peter France's song "OJ" is a heartbreaking story lamenting over a certain kind of addiction - an addiction to that one person who seems to have taken over the singer's thoughts and actions. The opening lines, "OJ shaking in my glass, I can't find a way to relax. Man I wish I had some Jack, Then I could kick back" sets the tone of the song immediately. The singer is trying to find a way to numb themselves, but even alcohol, which is usually a go-to for moments like these, isn't able to distract them from their thoughts.

The lyrics "You're the one drug I can't quit, The one scratch I can't itch" show that the singer sees this person as an addiction and a compulsion they can't get rid of. The idea of "being the captain to your crunch" and taking them out to lunch, just to "see if you confirm my hunch, Cause I like you a bunch" showcases that the singer is still hoping for this person to reciprocate their feelings. But then, as the song continues, it becomes clear that this relationship has only brought confusion and grief to the singer. The lyrics "Oh I'm just confused, And I feel I lose, Cause I'm lost in your gravity, I just drown in your sanity" represent the singer's realization that this person has power over them and that they are powerless in the face of their emotions.

In conclusion, "OJ" is a poignant and powerful track that delves into a kind of addiction that many people have experienced - addiction to another person. The lyrics are relatable, heart-warming and heartbreaking all at once, making the song an instant favourite for many.
