songs for a hot country summer
by Bonnie 'Prince' Billie
from ease down the road album
At Break of Day I know the sun's about to come up/I close my eyes anyway/my
mouth is dry and the sheets are cold/and will be still come break of day//you called me up
just to surprise me/to hear my voice. see what I'd say/I only whispered, and then hung
up/whispered "wait till break of day"//at break of day/I'm ending all of it/and so don't
say/you've had a ball/dawn is mine, but I will share it/with whatever bird will wear it/on
her body bare and pink/ now what do you think of break of day//I locked my door, I
should unlock it/what if you should come this way/ and in and have a drink and
dancing/dancing till the break of day//and then to bed we'd dance towards/and tiredly
kiss and roll in hay/but waking in the evening I see/you left after break of day//at break
of day/I'm ending all of it/and so don't say/you've had a ball/dawn is mine, but I will
share it/with whatever bird will wear it/on her body bare and pink/ now what do you
think of break of day//at break of day/I'm ending all of it/and so don't say/you've had a
ball/dawn is mine, but I will share it/with whatever bird will wear it/on her body bare
and pink/ now what do you think of break of day//I hate myself when I'm alone/it's just
with you I feel okay/and tomorrow ill you feel sorrow/when I'm gone at break of
day
A Man Needs a Maid
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean -
Fix my meals and go away.
A maid - A man needs a maid.
To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be "part of."
When will I see you again.
A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that I could
understand -
A maid. A man needs a maid.
When will I see you again?
Harvest
by Neil Young from the Harvest album
Did I see you down in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there at the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rain
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Did I see you walking with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face in a lonely place
When you could understand?
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up. Dream up. Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.
Will I see you give more than I can take?
Will I onlyy harvest some?
As the days fly past will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?
Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up. Dream up. Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.
Out On the Weekend
by Neil Young from Harvest
Think I'll pack it in a buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
The woman I'm think'n of - she loved me all up
She's so fine she's in my mind. I hear her
callin'.
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Tryingg to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.
She got pictures on the wall-
They make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.
