about

Summertime! Has there ever been anything as joyful, life-affirming, and as utterly futile as the long and purposeful walks down the beach you used to take with a Sony jam box and all of your friends when you were 14, with the sole intention of trying to catch the eye of a cute young thing lying on a beach towel with all of her friends, whose sole intention was to catch the eye of some cute young thing - who, incidentally, was almost without exception NOT me - walking down the beach? Ah, to be young ...

lyrics

days are getting meaner, monochromic crocodiles
bent down set to bite back hiding low in hanging files
but I remember summer days of mine
think I'll take a stroll, fill my glass, shake the shine

boardwalk board up bored to tears, this winter's bag of rain
ever got my memories mined reverse the weather vane
walk that walk that strand is always there
August come the burn the hype the aloe in the air

oh, La Camina
with the summer in your hair
La Camina
I ain't going anywhere
La Camina
don't ever let us get so old
never be so poor when all you touch it turns to gold

D cells in the boom box taped cassettes from radio
cocktails brewed in garbage cans from stuff you'll never know
tractor-beam bikinis braces-bling
these are a few of my favorite hopeless things

oh, La Camina
with the summer in your hair
La Camina
I ain't going anywhere
La Camina
don't ever let us get so old
never be so poor when all you touch it turns to gold
