Seaweed Man

Story Behind The Song

Jack Crowe was a homeless man living on Revere Beach during the 70's. I worked at a hot dog stand across the street. One day, Jack came up to bum some "spare change". He must have just woken up; there were strands of seaweed all over his ratty clothes

Lyrics

SEAWEED MAN
(WORDS & MUSIC / ERNIE MOTTOLA)

Look at the man sitting by the ocean divide
He writhes with pain, a pain he supposed to hide
He's the extra joker in the deck of life's real needs
He's an expert smoker of all the various weeds
Right now he's smokin' weed killer

Seaweed Man

Look at the man sitting down by the sea
He shoots a high which he knows will set him free
His latest meal came from the garbage can
No one can heal the heart of this trippin' man
Right now he's trippin' on rubbish cans

Seaweed Man

Feeding a mind some crazy juice in a glass
Reading a sign which begs him to keep off the grass
He's in the ozone every time he takes a puff
He'll be in the no zone if he doesn't give it up
But there is no will when the will ain't got no

Seaweed Man
