4th Of July Lyrics
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think:
What a waste of gunpowder and sky
In harboring thoughts of our home
It's one of my faults
That I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
If when you are older someday
You'll wake up and say
My God, I should have told her!
What would it take?
But now I am here, and
The world's gotten colder
And she's got the river
Down which I sold her...
With all the pathos and pain
Another chapter in a book
Where the chapters are endless
And they're always the same
A verse, then a verse
And refrain
If when you are older someday
You'll wake up and say
My God, I should have told her!
What would it take?
But now I am here, and
The world's gotten colder
And she's got the river
Down which I sold her...
Down which I sold her...
I think it has something to do with the person's life being a bit monotonous and lacking in excitement because of something they didn't do or say in their past, but I'm probably wrong... I just know I love the song :P
great songwriting...alone the phrase "another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless and they're always the same: a verse, then a verse, and refrain" make this song great.

i like "...and I think, what a waste of gunpowder and sky" taht kicks ass. fuck the u.s. and its bullshit displays of macho crap.
I think it's about a lady who had a divorce and can't get over it. She wonders if the other person, would ever think about it and realized that they should have treated them better or worked at making it work. Because she feels like she's been sold down the the river. Now her life is much harder and and makes life seem really long.
