The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with electric faces
What they find the glow erases
What they've lose the glow replaces, and life is love.
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.

But in the daytime everything changes
Nothing remains the same.
No one smiles anymore
And no one will open his door
Until the night time comes--

And then the
City lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with the electric faces
What they find the glow erases
And what they lose the glow replaces, and life is love.
In a neon rainbow...

THE BOX TOPS
The Letter / Happy Times
1967 Canada 7” single

“The Letter”, man.

Alex Chilton and the gang take one minute and fifty eight seconds to say everything you’d ever need to know, while The Grateful Dead took 48 minutes to say absolutely nothing.

Written by the great Wayne Carson, it’s a perfect song; a wonderful slice of white boy soul.

If only the world knew what Alex Chilton had for them on the horizon.
They’d find out soon enough.

"Alex using his 16 yr old voice which sounded like his 50 yr old voice when it was recorded"

Having to scan receipts to count for #BoxTops is a problem both because it's an invasion of #privacy and because not everyone is rich enough to be able to afford a compatible #phone. The second thing is a bigger issue because that can affect poorer schools, which are disproportionately minority-based (usually meaning Black people) due to financial discrimination by the state and stuff.
