Escrita por
David Crosby, foi gravada incialmente pelos Byrds em agosto de 1967,
mas não aceitaram que fosse lançada pelo tema controverso. Só foi
lançada num disco deles em 1987. Então, Crosby deu a música pro
Jefferson Airplane.
A letra fala
de um menage a trois, muito vigente na época do amor livre, dos
hippies da época.
Jefferson
Airplane gravou-a em maio de 1968 e lançou-a no seu quarto disco,
Crown of Creation, em setembro de 1968.
A letra:
You want to
know how it will be
Me and him OR you and me
You both stand there your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive your mind still growing
Me and him OR you and me
You both stand there your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive your mind still growing
Saying to me--"What can we do now
that we both love you",
I love you too-- I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
You are afraid--embarrassed too
I love you too-- I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
You are afraid--embarrassed too
No one has ever said such a thing to
you
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder
Face like ice--a little bit colder
Saying to you--"you can not do that, it breaks
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder
Face like ice--a little bit colder
Saying to you--"you can not do that, it breaks
All the rules you learned in school"
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
We love each other--it's plain to see
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
We love each other--it's plain to see
There's just one answer comes to
me
--Sister--lovers--water brothers
And in time--maybe others
So you see--what we can do--is to try something new--
--Sister--lovers--water brothers
And in time--maybe others
So you see--what we can do--is to try something new--
If you're crazy too--
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three.
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three.
