ispada da nije lako naci neku pesmu inspirisanu petim mesecom u godini

pesma je zaista vrhunska, spora, sa sjajnim gitarskim soloima i povremenim viseglasnim pevanjem, a sam tekst je inspirisan stvarnim dogadjajem:

"It was still in the Soft White Underbelly days when we were playing dances at Stony Brook University [on Long Island] for our sustenance money. Three Stony Brook students went to Tucson, Arizona, to buy some bulk marijuana for resale. I don't know how they got whatever contact they had, but it was two brothers – scions from one of the better-to-do families in Tucson. They never intended to sell them any pot. They just wanted to rip 'em off and shoot 'em, which they did. They took them out to the desert and shot them. It was three guys, and one managed to survive and get back to the highway ... I wrote the story from basically the newspaper accounts of the Long Island newspaper, Newsday ... There's a personal connection, too. I knew one of the guys casually from Stony Brook University when we were hanging out there."

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Ljubio sam snašu na salašu, strasno

Beše mirisna ko majska ruža

Моја Нинета, за умрет у мају

треба много, превише храбрости

Лепа Нинета, право у пакао

Више бих волео да сам отишао зими

(Ninetta mia, crepare di Maggio

ci vuole tanto, troppo coraggio

Ninetta bella, dritto all'inferno

avrei preferito andarci in inverno)

A u stvari mi je ovo bila prva asocijacija.

ova pesma referise na majska gibanja u parizu 68, studentske proteste, suzavac, limune i dzeksona poloka

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone’s tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.

And who by fire, who by water
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say is calling?

Took a trip down Anita Way
Had to go on the 1st of May
Didn't have much to celebrate

Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi

High, 21st of July
You know the thought is all wrong
But the feeling is right
Say on the 19th of May
Turn it on close the door
And then set to ignore

Od mene za sad dosta Nemam preča posla večeras
