I once got a small conical snail shell imbedded completely in my big toe, while coming in from surfing on a trip down in Mexico. You have to walk on slippery cobblestones to get back to the beach, snails on the cobbles. Good thing I always keep a small swiss army knife on my keychain!

GDTM has some weak-ass lyrics that strain to scan with the melody, but both it and the Gants' similarly "Ticket to Ride"-inspired "My Baby Don't Care" do justice to the source!

- astute (naturally!) - but the naivete matches the subject-matter - & that is the melancholy of Summer; I can so hear Lennon's voice in '64 propelling the combo of hurt & anger...

I'm not at all about how dumb the lyrics are (I'm a big fan of stupidity in lyrics); I'm talking about how they're so lazily constructed they at times don't even fit the song's meter without straining. As simplistic as Beatles lyrics could sometimes be, they pretty much always scanned.
