Panini Confusion


Going to tell you about a shop called panini confu-sion.
A place where the notion of choice is just an illusion
Which is a great 80's song by Imagination

But can be rather annoying
If you're ordering some luncheon

'Cause when you go out for lunch and order a panini
What you get in your bag is a 100% mystery.


You could have asked for parma ham, rocket and mozarella.
And walked out out of there with tuna and mortadella.

Mortadella's an Italian sausage, I got nothing against it.
But if you wanted parma ham you're going to be a bit miffed.

You see a panini decision is not lightly arrived at.
You think,
wonder and muse.
before selecting ingredients that.

Complement one another in an unsual way
Or are a risk free combo you have every Tuesday.

Like tuna mayonnaise with lettuce.
It's a safe choice.

If you're in a place where you need a panini that delivers safety over inspiration.
Go for that one.
Unless you're not into fish.

But that kind of goes without saying really.
But I've said it.

So there.

Panini Panini
Confusion Confusion

The notion of choice
is just an illusion


Panini Panini
Confusion Confusion

Your chicken avocado
Is just a delusion

Which is similar in a way
To just an illusion

But delusion means madness
So literally speaking
It's closer to confusion

And panini confusion will drive you mad if you let it.
Like when you get exactly what you ordered
But minus the lettuce

And you think to yourself
Did I order lettuce?
I'm sure I asked for lettuce?
Did I order lettuce?

And the thing is you did.
It's just in panini confusion
You're going to bid
Farewell to any ideas of choosing or choice
And go with the flow
In the randomness rejoice

You see panini confusion is much more than just food
It's a code for living
It's an idea and lesson
One to learn if you're shrewd.

It says in the panini of life
We don't always get what we want
But it takes away the pressure
Of a bad choice that haunts.

These days I order whatever I think
Tuna and sausage or melon and brie that stinks
It's not like I'm getting the combo I asked for
And frees me up in my order to not be such a big bore.

It's a new way of living when you're stuck in a rut
Try out some new fillings,
Experiment with your gut

You see Panini Confusion is not a bad thing
Sounds like a Genesis b-side,
With Phil Collins is king.

Panini Panini
Confusion Confusion

The notion of choice
is just an illusion


Panini Panini
Confusion Confusion

Your chicken avocado
Is just a delusion
