leo kottke, “jack gets up'“
from: my father’s face, 1989
I love this tune and I love nonsensical, to me at least, lyrics, like:
“And your kid has a face like a walnut
From the ice cream, from the ice cream, from the ice cream”
And
“So we're asleep in the same dream
In the snort fort, the snort fort, the snort fort”
And, finally
” Santa Claus modified snow peas
On the sun roofs, on the sun roofs, on the sun roofs”
And the kicker for me had always been:
“If you look in the mirror it's your father's face
Everyday in the morning when you get up and you crawl out of bed”
