about

Early 1990's 4-track recording of this song that finally appeared on the "Truman's Hat" EP.

A silly yet heartfelt song that's as much about the ill effects guilt and cigarettes can have on our bodies as it is about dancing in the kitchen while The Monkees play on the stereo. A delightfully confusing time.

lyrics

LYRICS

Her name is pretty
And we know each other well
In fact we know each other weller
Than anyone else thinks that we know
Each other well that is

Her hair is very red
And her skin is very pale
Her eyes are like the secrets
That you tell when you're in jail
I've got 2 litre dreams
And a case of missing wood
But it doesn't mean that I don't think
The things she does are good
Just ask her

She's loved a lot of men
But none of them were me
At least none of them were me
Until one of them just happened to be me
You know, not one of them

Her humor's very strange
Her obsession's very strong
Her tape collection's bigger
Than the eggrolls in hong kong
I've got 200 bucks
And a bed that's on the way
But it doesn't look like I'll be sleeping
As a team today
Maybe tonight

Her name is pretty
And we know each other well
In fact we know each other weller
Than anyone else thinks that we know
Each other well

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.
