lyrics
9. I Don’t Feel So Mad at God When I See You In Your Summer Dress
You know me—
I’m one of those who Believe,
But still I
Shake my fist at the sky.
Why couldn’t the Lord
Have worked a little harder?
Made me a little bit smarter?
Made a little less murder?
But I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Your summer dress
Has been suspended
In the winter closet,
But now that’s ended.
Now you’re swinging,
And it is clinging,
Oh God damn it
Fits you perfect.
I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
When your hair was pink,
I spent my last five bucks to buy you a drink,
When your hair was blue,
I crossed the Rockies in a K-Car to be with you,
When your hair was black,
You’d give Siousxie a jealous heart attack
When your hair was brown,
You turned me into slightly less of a clown,
When your hair was blonde,
(You prob’ly think I’m just gonna go on and on)
Now there’s silver in the gold,
Some days I’m even almost at peace with the old
Bastard.
I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God When I see you in your summer dress.
You know me—
I’m one of those who Believe,
But still I
Shake my fist at the sky.
Why couldn’t the Lord
Have worked a little harder?
Made me a little bit smarter?
Made a little less murder?
But I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Your summer dress
Has been suspended
In the winter closet,
But now that’s ended.
Now you’re swinging,
And it is clinging,
Oh God damn it
Fits you perfect.
I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
When your hair was pink,
I spent my last five bucks to buy you a drink,
When your hair was blue,
I crossed the Rockies in a K-Car to be with you,
When your hair was black,
You’d give Siousxie a jealous heart attack
When your hair was brown,
You turned me into slightly less of a clown,
When your hair was blonde,
(You prob’ly think I’m just gonna go on and on)
Now there’s silver in the gold,
Some days I’m even almost at peace with the old
Bastard.
I don’t feel so mad at God
When I see you in your summer dress.
Not so mad at God When I see you in your summer dress.

about
Geoff Berner Vancouver, British Columbia
Singer / songwriter / accordionist / novelist Geoff Berner's music combines klezmer, punk, political satire and Balkan dance rhythms. He writes sharp, literate songs that make you want to weep, laugh, grind your teeth, or kick out a window - often all at the same time. Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more
