Album: This Perfect World (1994), and original sound track from the movie Kingpin (1996).

This Perfect World is a song by singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston from his 1994 album of the same name. It concerns a man who has evidently done something horrible confronting a person from his past. The music adds emotional sophistication to the lyrics by shifting between dark, gloomy verses in C-Sharp Minor and a bright, soothing chorus in E Major. The chorus adds an ironic quality to the song by singing about "this perfect world" between each depressing verse. The song has been well received by critics, who laud it as one of Johnston's best. "Best of all [the songs on the album] is the mournful, eerie title track, which describes the possibly mortal sins of one man's past and the hopelessness of his future with the economy and punch of a good short story."

It would seem to be an ex-con or mentally-ill father, MIA, come to say goodbye to his daughter. I think he killed her mother too.

There is something so disturbing and dark in these lyrics. Compelling imagery. I feel like I've only read a few pages of a very intriguing short story, and the pages were not in order. And I want to read more to know what in heck went on!

Im guessing the top comments are jokes, they're both misquoting kingpin it's: One day, when people say the name Munson, they're gonna think "winner." Just like DiMaggio is to baseball or, or Unitas is to football, that's what Munson will be to bowling.

Claudia was a whore. But if every woman would be like this whore it would be nice. (I'm not sure if my grammar is correct, but i hope you understand what I'm trying to say)
