Rip Van Winkle Lyrics


ou're sleeping all your moments away
I'm counting every breath that you take
You've been snoozing 20 years and lengthening that beardYou whittled a squirrel for me
And counted lemons on your tree
And every time I turn around and have given up for goodYou say, "Hey, it'll be alright"
I said, "Hey, I'm alright"
Every time I turn around and have given up for good
You're haunted by the things that you've seen
I know they give you terrible dreams
We all know you'll wake up soon and rattle off that dustYou can spot a hawk a mile away
Cursing all those old blue jays
But every time I turn around and have given up for goodYou say, "Hey, I'm alright"
You said, "Hey, I'm alright"
Every time I turn around and have given up for good
Hey, let's go cruise the J
I'll take you away, I'll take you away
Can't fill any more plates, move any more chairs
It's been too many years, it's been too many years

Beach Rock revival Oakland, California band Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud. Influences like The Beach Boys, The Shangri- La's, The Ronettes, and Patsy Cline shine through in songs like "When You're On", with front woman Shannon crooning like a scorned Leslie Gore, but with a rough unpolished edge inspired by the likes of The Cramps, Bad Brains, and fellow beach bum Nobunny.
