Fountains Of Wayne

Lyrics The summer place Fountains Of Wayne

 827

The summer place


She's been afraid of the Cuisinart since 1977
Now when she opens up the house
Well, she won't set foot in the kitchen
Her brother's dating an architect
They're coming up for the weekend
He never gave her the proper respect
But she still meets the ferry to greet them

Oh, at the summer place
We've got the space if you've got the time
And the summer place is so far away
It's another state of mind
Mind, mind, mind

She ran away back in '78
Just down the beach to the neighbors
They brought her back after sunset
But dad sad "Don't do me any favors"
Her mom would sit on the pateo
She said she needed the sea air
She'd drink a fifth of Seagrams
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair

Oh, at the summer place
We've got the space if you've got the time
And the summer place is so far away
It's another state of mind
Mind, mind, mind

At 15 shoplifting
Was the only game she liked to play
At 40 she's still bored
She thinks about it then decides to pay
And still she can't help feeling
Those good old days don't seem so far away (seem so far away)
But should just yesterday

She took a handful of mushrooms
That she got from a surfer
She spent a night in a hospital room
So the doctors could observe her

Oh, at the summer place
We've got the space, you should drop on by
At the summer place the injuries fade
But the memories last a lifetime
Lifetime, lifetime, lifetime

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE SUMMER PLACE of FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE is also present in the album Sky full of holes (2011)

Biografia

Fountains of Wayne are an American power-pop band formed in 1995 in New York. The group, consisting of Adam Schlesinger (vocals, guitar), Chris Collingwood (guitar, vocals), Jody Porter (bass) and Brian Young (drums), is known for their catchy pop-rock sound and often ironic and self-deprecating lyrics. Their biggest success was "Stacey's Mom", a single released in 2003 that reached number one on the US alternative charts and helped introduce the band to an international audience. Other notable tracks include "Red Tide" (from their debut album "Ugly Radio") and "Hackensack" (from the album "Welcome Interstate Managers"). Fountains of Wayne have released six studio albums, achieving moderate commercial success and a solid fan base. Adam Schlesinger, besides being the frontman of the band, also worked as a composer for film and television, winning an Emmy Award in 2018 for the soundtrack of the series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". Schlesinger died in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19.
