Lovely Day - Pere Ubu

It’s a lovely day by the sea

Mr. Potato Head is strumming at guitar

Beggar on the bench is acting lewd and crude

Weekend Father’s got his kid out for a stroll

Wind turbines offshore are shredding the seagulls once more

So that’s good

It is as it should be

On a lovely day by the sea

Onions are frying

Chip wrappers are flying

Wind surfers are out pestering the fishing boats

Bongo Dredster is playing it just as good as white folks

New Age banners are slapping in the breeze

There’s a new flavor on the board at the Dairy Freeze

Mungo Jerry is nursing a cup of tea

Watching the joggers and unwed mothers promenade

Somebody must be lonely

But not that I can see

Somebody must be angry

But not that I can see

Something must be wrong

So that’s good

It is as it should be

On a lovely day by the sea
