Aimee Mann - 4th Of July Lyrics
Today's 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
In harbouring thoughts of our home
It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Oh, baby
I wonder if when you are older
Someday
You'll wake up and say
"My God, I should have told her
What would it take?
And she's got the river down which I sold her"
So that's today's memory lane
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
Oh, baby
I wonder 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 here I am and the world's gotten colder
And she's got the river down which I sold her..."

Aimee Mann 4th Of July Comments
Listening to 4th of July on the 4th of July as fireworks blast off in the distance. Thanks for writing this perfect song, Aimee.
Here on 4/7/19 (or 7/4/19 if you insist on writing it wrong)
" a verse, and a verse, and refrain "

Kavanaugh must go!
This song tears me up like a thousand fireworks going off inside me at the same time. I listen to it every year on the 4th of July... such an intense time in my life. Never to be forgotten.
just stunning
Every 4th of July, I listen to this tune. Ooooh baby...
Shared this on Facebook!
here we again / i won't mention personal politics / i've traveled abit to 3rd world nations meaning non-industrialized and i'll say this ::: America is the greatest, hands down.
I always stick this on on the 4th July.
Whatever, what a great album.
Another song is 5th of July by Terry Reid
Any song by Aimee is so great
I had broken up with the love of life.
It took years to fix my heart.
Now I still play this song every July.
Her name is Suzanne.
Kev Jordan - I have had three loves. Monika, Elisabeth, Janette.🖤
could you even imagine what love would be.. shared with , a old soul like this??
She's hardly old, she's only 60!
MAY I SEE JULIE ANNE
I always make sure I play this song at least once a year. Beautiful.
Probably next tuesday
A Mann's lyric writing is ... so under-rated
What a waste of gunpowder and sky. Great Lyric!
One of my favorites from Aimee. Long time fan since 'Til Tuesday.
Happy July 4th
Nicely done video! Much appreciated.

A fantastic and underrated artist
I love this song so much.
