about

You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. I’ve never particularly been a fan. I mean sure, they’re very nice and everything, but after a while it all sounds the same, and besides, there are plenty of other topics to explore that might offer something new to think about, eh? Meh, I’m a heartless old fool…but it wasn’t always this way back in 1986 when this was written and recorded with the old Blond Popsicle band. This recording is from 2011.

lyrics

LYRICS

If I fell for you
Would you love me true
Would you never make me sad

I've been in love before
I always needed something more
Something more than I had

Carry a lamp
Carry a torch for your love yeah
Carry a lamp
A torch for your love

If I gave you all
Would you let me fall
Would you treat me like your own

I've tried many times
I never saw the signs
Never saw the signs toward home

Carry a lamp
Carry a torch for your love yeah
Carry a lamp
A torch for your love

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
