happy 4th July to all my U.S friends

4th Of July - Aimee Mann

Todays the fourth of july
Another june has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gunpowder and sky
Im certain that I am alone
In harbouring thoughts of our home
Its one of my faults that I cant quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone

Oh, baby, I wonder -
If when you are older -
Someday-
Youll wake up
And say, my god, I should have told her -
What would it take?
But now here I am and the worlds gotten colder
And shes got the river down which I sold her.

So thats todays memory lane
With all the pathos and pain
Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
And theyre always the same
A verse, then a verse, and refrain

Oh, baby, I wonder -
If when you are older -
Someday-
Youll wake up
And say, my god, I should have told her -
What would it take?
But now here I am and the worlds gotten colder
And shes got the river down which I sold her.

I will be partying and celebrating the nation's birthday in style. I'm hosting a big fourth of July bash with reggae star Eek-A-Mouse too. So you know,......good chance that Riffy will be smoking a spliffy at some point.

I will also drink a few beers in honor of guys like this. You know the guys that TTM insists are terrorizing the people of Iraq. Here we see an American oppressor using the "stand on my boot till it hurts the bottom of your feet" interogation technique in Sader City last week. Poor kid.

That's cool. I'm throwing a family bash at my new digs July 6. I will be surrounded by Republicans. Maybe by the US Army if my brother shows up. His wife is more gung ho than he is....if that's possible. But she's Italian .... and I hope she shows up with some goodies because she's a great cook.
