LYRICS
I’m talking damage
Damage!
Damn age damage

I’m talking damage you could not believe
I’m talking damage you could not conceive

Sandy getting sandy
Gonna show her wrath
Sandy ain’t so handy
Gotta take her bath

I’m talking damage
Damage!

Songwriting Under the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
And, it’s blowing me
Away… hey, hey!

There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
It’s talking to me
Hear it say….

There’s an escape we can take
You know… we can go below…
We can talk
Under the boardwalk

We’ll ascend… blowing up
Down by the sea
Yup, we’re blowing up
And, away… hey!

Where there’s a wind
Blowin’ in
Up against the skin
Listen to the voice within
Hey, hey! Blown away

Writing the Song Nep-Tune on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile

Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Ability
See! See?

Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

About The Soundtracks
These recordings were made in Atlantic City, Ocean City and Wildwood using a Roland Boss Br-600. The two hardest parts of engineering the recordings were:
1) wind protection. The recordings of the ocean were difficult to shield the microphones from wind noise. There was a constant breeze at each location. Several attempts had to be trashed. Eventually, I figured out that I had to leave the recorder in its case in order to protect the on-board condenser mic’s.
2) moving. The recordings on the boardwalk were made while I walked. Holding the recorder, moving and trying to keep up with tram-car were all challenges.

The most nerve racking was making the recording in the casino… as I’m not sure whether you are allowed to record in a casino?
