  • Record/Vinyl

    "Heckuva Day" sounds a heckuva lot better on vinyl... especially marbleized green vinyl.

    The 45 features "Heckuva Day" with "Get Yourself Together" on the flipside. Both tracks are from my current album, Sea of Clouds.

    With a retro design for the label, and a classic ol' white dustsleeve, you'll be able to fool your friends into believing that these songs were released in the same year as numbers like "A Little Bit of Soap" by the Jarmels and "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes. What's better than that.

lyrics

The Moon is a girl
The Sun is a boy
The Moon is a boy
The Sun is a girl

Does it matter where they end up?
They go around everything
Everything goes around them
Does it matter where they end up?
By degrees
Not of heat, but of separation
And when you see them get together
On your knees
On your back
As you stare
You just can’t help but stare

The Moon is a girl
The Sun is a boy
The Moon is a boy
The Sun is a girl

How he wishes he could have her
How he dreams with his beams in majestic splendour
How she wishes she could have him
It’s her hair that shines and cries behind him
Aw, but when they get together
The sky is dark
And the birds are too busy making love to sing

The Moon is a girl
The Sun is a boy
The Moon is a boy
The Sun is a girl

Fragrant light
Fragrant shadow
There’s a light

The Moon is a boy...

Stars are chased by sunlight
And everything is alright at the break of day
All I can say...
The greatest of these is love
