Come On Summer

We don't want to wait, we don't want to wait
Listen up and you'll hear us pound at the gate
We don't want to wait, we want it today
We're gonna throw a fit if we don't get our way
It's already late, it's midnight at eight
So listen up and you'll hear us cry
Come on summer, we're all tired
Sipping hot chocolate huddled up by the fire
We want the sun back, gonna take off our hats and say
Come on summer, we're all waiting
Stomping 'round the snow is getting so overrated
There's hockey on the pond but the daylight is gone away
Don't want a debate, we want to convey
We want to want a breeze, want to stand in the shade
So let's get it straight, we're not gonna wait
Whatever you can do, yeah well that'd be great
We hate to complain, the cold can't remain
So listen up and you'll hear us cry
Come on summer we're all tired
It's not like it's some kind of unreasonable desire
We want the sun back, gonna take off our hats and say
Come on summer, we're all waiting
Sick of double socks, double gloves, and double glazing
The sled is on the lawn, but the daylight is gone away
We caught a glimpse of the utility bill by artificial light
We're working under the assumption you will do right
Like you did before
Come on summer, we're all tired
Sipping hot chocolate huddled up by the fire
We want the sun back, gonna take off our hats and say
Come on summer, we're all waiting
Stomping round the snow is so beyond overrated
The cold is getting old and it just won't go away

How Do You Like It

I torched my weekend when you said you were coming to town
And here's a limousine and driver to drive us around
I've got tickets to your favorite show, so tell me
How do you like it?
I don't know
I made plans in advance 'cause I know what you like
I got a room by the park so we can ride bikes
Hate to interrupt when you're on the phone, but baby
How do you like it?
I don't know
Been counting down the days since I got the news
Been thinking back to summer when we first said our I love yous
So we'd better leave now according to plan
If you must run an errand, be as quick as you can
Oh sweet girl, isn't this fun? Yeah?
How do you like it?
Ummmm
So you double-booked some conflicts in your haste
I just hate to see the reservations go to waste
A boy can take a hint you don't have to speak twice
I've got things to do myself; was just trying to be nice
Well guess what? I'm gonna go. You hear me?
How do you like it?
I don't know
I'm gonna take my driver and blow, so...
How do you like it?
I don't know
I prefer to stay at hotels alone
And the driver's gonna to come to the show
I’m gone for good the moment I go, so...
How do you like it?
I don't know

There at the Back

Here’s how it goes up on your terrible toes
Crushed concentrate of that hideous weight
Standing there at the back
There at the back
At the back there
One afternoon alone in your room
Ponder the din and get sucked into standing
There at the back
There at the back
At the back there at the back
There at the back
At the back there
Tall guy versus small fry
It's not sold out
Why's it so loud
We’re playing for you
You terrible few
Who procrastinate, arriving too late and standing
There at the back
There at the back
At the back there at the back
There at the back
At the back there...
Tall guy versus small fry
Versus tall guy versus small fry
...at the back

Walked past a thrift store
And opened the door
Went 'round to the back
Underneath the clothes rack
Looking for a Moog
Or some clothes in vogue
Pulling back a tarp
Thought it was an Arp
VIP six oh oh, I love you so
VIP six double-aught
You're not what I sought
Brought you back to my place
Dressed you up in lace
Put on my fave mix
Best of Brazil '66
Then we started to dance
And I ripped my pants
We held each other tight
Through the Tijuana night
VIP six oh oh, I love you so
VIP six double-aught
You're the only pal I've got
You're the only pal I've got
When we went hungry
You wanted sushi
I said Where are we?
You said Miami
You always stare at the moon
And you never played in tune
VIP six aught aught
You're not what I bought
VIP six oh oh, I love you so
VIP six double-aught
You're not what I sought
VIP six oh oh, I love you so
VIP six double-aught
You're not what I bought
