Name: I Wish It Would Snow (Electrically)
Duration: P00H03M15S
Description: There’s an acoustic version of this song on the Slave to the Tuna EP, but this more electric rendition first appeared on the aforementioned "2001: A Case of the Tea" CD. What's on offer here is the cleaned up version that Jeff Booth so graciously set his knobs to. Considering the state of my timing and singing, I think he pulled it far out of the mire!

LYRICS

She said,
“I wish it would snow all winter long
Because I need something fun to tickle my little tongue.
Oh, flurries are fine: dusting my face and glitter my hair,
But they’re infrequent, just like my lovers,
And I’d rather just stay in bed….”

She said,
“I wish I could do whatever it is that you do.”
Well, this forced him to laugh and re-evaluate everything.
“No, don’t wear my shoes: I’m always tripping and stumbling about.
And even though they look like they fit
Well, they’re really far too big….”

I never understood selective generosity
And why does the shame of the past
Govern my thoughts like a fog?

She said,
“I’m waiting for you down by the dock,
And I’m tempted to throw myself in to see what Shelley saw.”
Are kind words enough for someone whose head may burst into flames?
And in her diary the words are all true
But it never seems the same:

I never understood selective generosity
And why does the shame of the past
Govern my thoughts like a fog?

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. ... more
