lyrics
city girlfriend with your afternoon parties
come home with me, take a month off
a speedy happiness is not what i'm after
a shallow happiness is not what i want
there's too much rain to water the garden
there's too much sun for painting the barn
it's much too windy to rake up the hay
there's too many flies to slaughter the hog
the water's too warm for us not to swim
let's catch frogs and then let 'em go
come home with me, take a month off
a speedy happiness is not what i'm after
a shallow happiness is not what i want
there's too much rain to water the garden
there's too much sun for painting the barn
it's much too windy to rake up the hay
there's too many flies to slaughter the hog
the water's too warm for us not to swim
let's catch frogs and then let 'em go

Famous People Marry Famous People
by 20 Minute LoopI love the melodic, harmonic, lyrical, tonal and timbral ways these pop masterpieces develop. Kelly Atkins is all over my "Superfluity" album
