One thought on “LP Lovin’ Spoonful / Everything Playing 1968”

  1. Lyrics: Younger Generation

    Why must every generation think their folks are square
    And no matter where their heads are they know mom´s ain´t there
    Cause I swore when I was small that I´d remember when
    I knew what´s wrong with them that I was smaller then

    Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
    Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school
    I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
    And I hope that I recall them all before the baby´s due
    And I know he´ll have a question or two

    Like “hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom
    It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended by balloons
    And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
    And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs”
    And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation

    Then I´ll know that all I´ve learned my kid assumes
    And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
    And still I´ll try to tell him all the things I´ve done
    Related to what he can do when he becomes a man
    And still he´ll stick his fingers in the fan

    And “Hey, Pop, my girlfriend´s only three
    She´s got her own videophone and she´s taking L.S.D.
    And now that we´re best friends she wants to give a bit to me
    But what´s the matter Daddy, how come you´re turning green?
    Can it be that you can´t live up to your dream?”

    John Sebastian, 1968
