about

Summer was ending when i wrote this many moons ago, but it came out being more about the transition from shorts and sandals to slacks and loafers, the unfortunate discarding of childhood for the suited life of maturity. Whew, i'll never do that again! A different version of this song appears on the "Jersey Shoreline" release.

lyrics

LYRICS

I remember the waves on the beach
How they knocked me over
Like the Miracle Strip
With the sand in your suit
Swimming time for you is over

Good-bye to summer
Say it isn't so
Slacks and umbrellas
Summer has to go
It has to go

All the jellyfish on the sand
Like clear blue piles of dogshit
And the shrimp in the beer
And the snake in the box
Uncle Monster lurking somewhere

Where's your chioce for sleeping tonight
By the open ocean window
There's the smell of the house
We were all in the shower
We all knew each other well then

Good-bye to summer
Say it isn't so
Rep ties and blue blazers
Summer has to go
It has to go

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.
