about

I've covered unreleased Rocket Park songs before, but this is the first time I've revisited something from the albums (in this case, The Effects of Eating Too Much Television), simply because I was never satisfied with the original arrangement and production. Donnie O'Laughlin (drums), Manik Myk (guitar solos), and Beck Boston (harmonies) join in on the fun. (Speaking of arrangements, a shout out to Dave Harris for his vocal part that became a slide guitar in this incarnation!)

lyrics

Making love in a shack by the shore on a full moon night
Skipping stones ‘til they fall off the edge of the world
Watch the gulls wheel and glide overhead at the end of day
A convertible trip with a beautiful girl

Something’s gotta give ‘cos I’ve got no time to live
And I think I’ll go insane if I don’t get myself back to Maine
Doo doo doo (etc.)
I want to eat bagels in Bangor with you

in these towns that were founded in Benjamin Franklin’s day
Little lighthouses watch over watery peaks
Buy a novel to read on the beach as the sun goes down
While the loons on the water snatch life in their beaks

Something’s gotta give ‘cos I’ve got no time to live
And I think I’ll go insane if I don’t get myself back to Maine
Doo doo doo (etc.)
I want to eat bagels in Bangor with you

It may sound like a whim bound to slip from a fickle mind
It may sound like impossible pipe dreams deferred
But it’s good for my body and twice as good for my soul
And I’ll be on the next plane if you say the word

Something’s gotta give ‘cos I’ve got no time to live
And I think I’ll go insane if I don’t get myself back to Maine
Doo doo doo (etc.)
I want to eat bagels in Bangor with you
