James Trevor "Jamie" Oliver, MBE (born 27 May 1975) is an English chef, restaurateur and media personality, known for his food-focused television shows, cookbooks and more recently his campaign against the use of processed foods in national schools. He strives to improve unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits in the United Kingdom and the United States. Jamie Oliver's speciality is Italian cuisine, although he has a broad international repertoire.
Jamie Oliver was brought up in Clavering, Essex, England. His parents ran a pub, "The Cricketers", where he used to practise in the kitchen. He was educated at Newport Free Grammar School. He left school at age sixteen without qualifications and went on to attend Westminster Kingsway College, formerly Westminster College. He then earned a City & Guilds NVQ in home economics.
His first job was as a pastry chef at Antonio Carluccio's Neal's Yard restaurant, where he first gained experience with preparing Italian cuisine, and developed a relationship with his 'mentor' Gennaro Contaldo. Oliver then moved to The River Café, Fulham, as a sous chef.
Eighth Wonder were a British pop band in the 1980s. They formed in 1983 and enjoyed major success in Japan and Italy between 1985 and 1987, before having hit singles in the UK and across Europe in 1988.
Eighth Wonder's roots start in a band called Spice. In 1983, Jamie Kensit auditioned his sister Patsy Kensit, then aged 14, for the vacant job of lead singer in his new band. She formed a line-up consisting of herself on vocals, Jamie Kensit and Geoff Beauchamp on guitar, Lawrence Lewis on bass, Jake Walters on drums and Nigel Davis on percussion. Spice made their live debut in autumn 1983, and then spent the next year playing further gigs to gain some attention from record labels.
In late 1984, Nigel Davis left to start the Band 'Slipstream' and Alex Godson a keyboard player, joined the band. They renamed themselves Eighth Wonder and Patsy Kensit began to write songs for the band. Their first gig as Eighth Wonder was in November 1984 in Wimbledon, London and further gigs followed. It was at one of these that Steve Wooley, co-owner of Palace Films, and director Julien Temple offered Patsy Kensit the role of 'Crepe Suzette' in their 1986 film, Absolute Beginners.

I stepped out of a train
Into the sinking city
Didn't know what to expect
And suddenly it hit me
I'm not ready for all this
Liquid highways traffic lights
At every intersection
People boarding wooden ducks
It captures my attention
I'm not ready for all this
I can't believe it when they say
Someday all this will fade away
Into the abyss under the sea
And all this just makes me feel like
Makes me feel like
Makes me feel like
It's the real Atlantis
I'm in Venice
Forever with me
I'm in Venice
It will never, leave me
Walking little alley ways
That whisper secret stories
Of people wearing masquerades
In a city full of glory
I'm not ready for all this
And I'm gazing all around me
And it feels like time is drowning
Venice away
I'm just standing on the bridge of sighs
The breeze is making me hear their cries,
I'm just standing on the bridge of sighs
I'm in Venice
Picked up the phone, I hear your voice
You say you called for conversation, babe
Say all is well, but I can tell
The same old thing is on your mind
You say I've changed, that I'm a different man
But it's just a different time
What can I do to help you understand
When I can't get you out of your mind
I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world upon my back, yeah
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't long ago
You keep me hanging on the line
But tomorrow brings the same old questions
To the answers you can't find
Call me crazy, call me selfish
You can call me anything you need to call me
I take the world upon my shoulders
But I can't get you out of your mind
I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world
How can you tell me our love wasn't real?
Do you know who I am? Do you know how I feel?
I could tell you I care, but you've made up your mind
That it's nothing but wasted time
I'll take the world upon my shoulders
But I just can't get you out of your mind
I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
That's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world, I'll take the world
I'll take the world
Homesick postcards and late night phone calls
Lonesome hotel blue
I've been too long on this highway
And I'm missing you
Sending out a message from my heart
We were never meant to be apart
Driving underneath my lucky star
I'm coming home
On the road to where you are
Coming home
California warm winds blowin'
Clouds across the moon
Straight to you these wheels are rollin'
And I'll be home soon
Sending out a message from my heart
We were never meant to be apart
Driving underneath my lucky star
I'm coming home
On the road to where you are
Coming home
This road ends up right where it started
Holding onto you in our own backyard
I'm coming home
On the road to where you are
I'm coming home
Coming home
On the road to where you are
Coming home
On the road to where you are
From the first time I saw you, or I guess that I should say
From the first time I saw you look at me
It was there on your face, you saw me not just as I am
But the way I've always wanted to be
What I felt there and then I feel here and now
And I know I'll do anything I can to be what you see
I wanna be
The man you think I am
I wanna be the man you think I am
I wanna be the man
I wanna be the man you think I am, think I am
From the first time I held you, or I guesss that I should say
From the first time I felt you hold on me
I was lost, I was found, yeah you turned me upside down
In a way I've always wanted to be
What I felt there and then I feel here and now
And I feel like you've given me a card to get out of jail free
I wanna be
The man you think I am
I wanna be the man you think I am
I wanna be the man
I wanna be the man you think I am, think I am
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
From the first time I saw you, or I guess that I should say
From the first time I saw you look at me
What I felt there and then I feel here and now
And I swear I'll do anything for you to get the best of me
Yeah I wanna be
The man you think I am
I wanna be the man you think I am
I wanna be the man
I wanna be the man you think I am, think I am
You think I am
I wanna be the man
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
I saw a flag wave heavy over me
I saw the Virgin
For a moment, I believed
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved
And to love always
I felt my lips move
But the words they were not mine
I saw you crying
For a moment I could see
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved, no no
I just want to be loved
And to love always
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved, no no
I just want to be loved
And to love always
Yeah, and it's okay
Well, I know what's confusing me
I know what I want to see
I know where I want to be
Then an angel was flying next to me
No hesitation
For a moment I was free
You said you'd save me
But I don't want to be saved
I just want to be loved
And to love always
All I want is to be loved
And to love always, always
I just want to be loved
And to love always
I tell myself to hold on tight
Any day now it'll be alright
Thought I loved enough for two
But even believing won't make it true
One heart waits
One heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold but not to have
And it hurts so much
To love someone so bad
Am I a fool to wait for you?
I keep pushing for you to pull me through
A little taste of love is a bitter pill
I can't take it, can't make it
All by myself
One heart waits
One heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold but not to have
And it hurts so much
To love someone so bad, so bad
What can I do to make you want me too
The way that I'm wanting you now?
It's what I don't see, when you look at me
I'm trying to change somehow
Please tell me how
One heart waits
One heart breaks
I swear I've given more than I can take
You're in my arms but out of my hands
I've got someone to hold but not to have
And it hurts so much
To love someone so bad, so bad
One heart waits
One heart breaks
One heart waits
One heart breaks so bad
Although she's not alone she feels so lonely
And when they do make love, she feels untouched
When they kiss she feels no lips upon hers
Thought they have it all they've lost so much
Although they share a home she says "I miss you"
But when she speaks, it doesn't make a sound
Though her days are filled she feels so empty
'Cause even when he's there, he's not around
And they are
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
Although she took his name he is a stranger
And when he looks at her he doesn't see
That even as she smiles her heart is breaking
Because she knows the man he used to be
Season after season nothing changes
And reason after reason comes and goes
She wants to leave but hangs on to the feeling
That somewhere in the garden something grows
So they keep
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
Though they have it all, they've lost so much
They're still
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
Then I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Oh, I don't know
Oh, I don't know
Well, I've been afraid of changing
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too now
Yes, I'm getting older too now
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb, climb a mountain and I turn around
So if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
Yeah, If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
Oh, the landslide will bring it down
I'll take the next boat to venice 'cause I've lost you and the last one and you.
I'll take the next!
Deep in the dark, the beat of your heart
Breaks through the silence like thunder
Soft on my skin, you breathe out and in
We turn into one and I wonder how
Did I ever have the faith
To know you were waiting?
Think of the stars, diamonds stuck in the sky
And the long lonely light years lying between them
Think of how hard real love was to find
In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle
More than a kiss, the warmth of your lips
Like some ancient fire still burning
More like a dream, there's nothing between
How I feel now and eternity
You're a treasure in my hands
And it defies understanding
Think of the stars, diamonds stuck in the sky
And the long lonely light years lying between them
Think of how hard real love was to find
In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle
Countless waves on endless oceans
Times the earth has turned
Even more even more even more of a miracle
Much more even more even more of a miracle...
Think of the stars, diamonds stuck in the sky
And the long lonely light years lying between them
Think of how hard real love was to find
In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle
Think of the stars, diamonds stuck in the sky stuck in the sky
And the long lonely light years lying between them lying between them
Think of how hard real love was to find love was to find
In a world so wide we're even more of a miracle more of a miracle
Even more, even more even more of a miracle
Soft on my skin, breath out again
Much more even more even more of a miracle
Turn into water, more than a kiss
Is it too much to ask
For just one quiet day?
Where I hear no voices
And nothing is ticking away
A day I'm sure of something
Where I wanna be nowhere else
Is it too much to ask
For just one quiet day?
That would be alright I say
Some night some day
That would be alright I say
Some night some day
I say
Tell me is it too much to ask
For just one quiet night?
Where I see no ghosts
And I never turn on the light
A night where I dream nothing
And I wanna be nowhere else
Is it too much to ask
For just one quiet night?
That would be alright, I say
Some night, some day
That would be alright, I say
Some night, some day
I say
Oh I say
A day I'm sure of something
Where I wanna be nowhere else
Is it too much to ask for just one quiet
One quiet day
That would be alright, I say
Some night, some day
That would be alright, I say
Some night, some day
I say
Yeah, I say
Poor you, poor me, poor love
Maybe you were behind me
On some crowded New Year's Eve
Whgen I was hoping love might find me
Before I had to leave
As the crowd counted down
Were you somewhere around
And like me you'd had enough
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Poor love poor love
Maybe you drove by me
Even heard my radio
Or maybe at the movies
When they pulled those lights down low
But where was love on that day
Did she look the wrong way
Make us feel like giving up
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Poor love poor love
I'll say it again
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Oh poor love
My true love is like the needle in the hay
I'm always waiting for the moment
That you cross my way
I'll be searching till that day
But our eyes never met
And our lips never touched
So I curse the stars above
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Poor love poor love
I'll say it again
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Oh poor love
I'll say it again
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Poor all that we could be
Poor you poor you
Poor me poor me
Oh poor love
Poor love
Branches in the wind
Still standing here together
One more storm to weather
We'll get through it yet
So we're gathered here
Holding on to each other
To let go of another one we won't forget
Now as we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow
Father down to son, mother to daughter
Thicker than water, we are made of this
From the Earth we rise
To the Earth returning
We'll keep a candle burning
For the ones we'll miss
And when we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow
It's stronger than the wind can blow
The family tree will always grow
Losing faith and it makes me sad
And when I think of losing more
Well it makes me mad
Losing beauty, well it brings me down
And with everything we've gained we're losing ground
Every time I turn another corner
Seems that someone else is doing wrong
And every time I jump into the water
Seems there's something there that don't belong
When it feels like the end of the world my dear
I need you here
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
No more father, no more son
No more running from the man that I've become
Too much freedom but nothing's free
So I try to make some sense of what's to be
Because every day I wake up and I wonder
How a blessing could become a curse, yeah
And every night I pray it's getting better
But I find it's only getting worse
When it feels like the end of the world my dear
I, yeah I need you here
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
Every time I turn another corner
Seems that someone else is doing wrong
And every time I jump into the water
Seems there's something there that don't belong
When it feels like the end of the world my dear
I, yeah I need you here
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
So now it feels like the end of the world my dear
I, yeah I need you here
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
Every time I turn another corner
Seems that someone else is doing wrong
And every time I jump into the water
Seems there's something there that don't belong
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
Maestro, as you paint this picture would you tell me
what-what's going on in your mind.
Now the cross, the mystical vertical cross.
Out of black paint,
(…via con questo coso per… cortesia…)
a cross comes down from the top left hand side of the
canvas.
(via con quella testa per cortesia!)
he has just thrown a bunch of gold paint which has not
only hit me in the face,
(…ostia…)
but has gone across the canvas to the applause of the
crowd below.
(…calma… aspetta… ahó aspetta cazzo, eh… adesso,
aspetta!)
now some black paint
(…giù con quella testa! giù la testa nico… via via con
quel coso lí porcoddio…)
This is the head, this is the head-this is the head of
the black death.
The canvas and the photographers are covered with
paint.
I might add, its black paint and gold paint on a white
canvas.
(…un pochettino un pochettino! cosí cosí dai! più in
lá!)
(crowd)
that was a — a big slash of paint.
What is this.
(Ah aaah ah ah [dialetto] è bellissimo?? non va più
via… [dialetto] guarda, No, no, no! Eeehh!)
Now he got even with the photographers who have been
covering the canvas,
And opens the canvas and out comes twelve pigeons! Ha
ha ha!
Twelve homing pigeons have just flown out of the
canvas.
Maestro, what are you doing?
(applause)
You call this painting...
Le Lion de St. Mark.
The lion of St. Mark.
Hommage à Venice.
Homage to Venice, the home (ha ha) of the lion of St.
Trippin' out since I met her
Never been this way
Like a song, so hard to forget her
Stuck inside my head all day
She could've talked to anyone around her
But she talked to me instead
And I felt so high, but I remember
Every single word she said
I'm not the same
And her number burns a hole in my pocket
Such an ordinary name but she's one of a kind
I got Mary on my mind all the time
Just hanging out, I got a feeling
She could change my world
And I've got no doubt there's something real
In the way I think about this girl
I'm not the same
And her number burns a hole in my pocket
Such an ordinary name but she's one of a kind
I got Mary on my mind, I got Mary on my mind
Oh what she's doing to me
Well it's something strange and new
If I could see her again
My heart would tell me what I'm supposed to do
I'm not the same
And her number burns a hole in my pocket
Such an ordinary name but she's one of a kind
I got Mary on my mind
I got Mary on my mind
I got Mary on my mind
Mary on my mind
