from Creates Something New Under the Sun (1968)

Selection made by Justin Vollmar:

I guess the line “Everyone’s got something[…]to get up for, but I ain’t about to” is where this song really digs in. The music spins and dances around Randy, mocking him, and he’s just plain stubborn and angry. When he pulls the blanket over his head with “It’s so hard living without you”, you know it’s so good.

The milk truck hauls the sun up
and the paper hits the door
the subway shakes my floor
and I think about you
time to face the dawning gray
of another lonely day
baby, it’s so hard
living without you

It’s so hard
baby, it’s so hard
baby, it’s so hard
living without you

Ev’ry one’s got something
and they’re out tryin’ to get some more
they got something to get up for
well I ain’t about to
nothin’s gonna happen
nothin’s gonna change
baby, it’s so hard
living without you

It’s so hard
Baby, it’s so hard
Baby, it’s so hard
Living without you
