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
The lyrics THE SUMMER PLACE of FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE is also present in the album Sky full of holes (2011)
Fountains of Wayne sono una rock band americana formatasi nel 1995 a New York. Il gruppo, composto da Adam Schlesinger (voce, chitarra), Chris Collingwood (chitarra, voce), Jody Porter (basso) e Brian Young (batteria), è noto per il suo sound pop-rock orecchiabile e le liriche spesso ironiche e autoironiche. Il loro successo più grande è stato "Stacey's Mom", singolo del 2003 che ha raggiunto la posizione numero 1 nelle classifiche alternative statunitensi e ha contribuito a far conoscere al pubblico internazionale il gruppo. Tra gli altri brani rappresentativi ricordiamo "Red Tide" (dal loro album di debutto "Ugly Radio") e "Hackensack" (dall'album "Welcome Interstate Managers"). Fountains of Wayne hanno pubblicato sei album in studio, ottenendo un discreto successo commerciale e una solida base di fan. Adam Schlesinger, oltre a essere il frontman del gruppo, ha anche lavorato come compositore per film e televisione, vincendo un Emmy Award nel 2018 per la colonna sonora della serie "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". Schlesinger è morto nel 2020 a causa di complicazioni dovute al COVID-19.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
