about

I used to think it was funny that my girlfriend (now wife) liked to eat at 6PM (so early!). Now I've gotten used to it and even enjoy it.

This was written and recorded quickly for that FAWM thing in 2011 that I was telling you about earlier. Wish I'd spent a little more time on the lyrics, but I was thinking about Luna a bit with those electric guitar parts.

LYRICS

Dinner at Six
Well that sounds just about right to me
It's been another long day of reluctant diplomacy
I could use a hearty meal, I worked through lunch again
Something warm would be so good
In this cold mid-winter rain

Dinner at Five?
That would be too early
Well, maybe not for the Ropers and Mr. Ralph Furley
But we're younger than them
And our hunger begins on a different time-rate
But we're getting old and time is time for every primate

Dinner at Eight
That's a little late, don't you think darlin'?
We need some time to sit up straight, at least until Ten
Dinner at Six
That sounds just about right to me
It's been another long day, and I'm already hungry

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.
