Summer Love Page #2

eyeball when it gets punches?

Uhh!

I could hit you

in the nose.

The bone goes

right into the brain,

and you'd be dead.

Uhh!

[whinnies]

A perfect site

for an ambush.

We should go around.

There!

Wait!

Yaah!

[all yelling]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[train whistle]

[distant hammering]

[hammering continues]

[hammering continues]

[hammering continues]

[spits]

[door closes]

She doesn't like you...

anyway.

[snoring]

[gunshots]

[ricochet]

I got him!

[groaning]

[train whistle]

[hammering continues]

I like what I see.

[whinnies]

[whinnies]

I had a dream.

I dreamed that

I was a bad sheriff,

and that I was drunk.

That every one of my memories

starts with a drink...

and ends with a hangover.

I dreamed that

everyone I met...

laughed at my last

drinking binge,

my last fight.

That my woman didn't want

to have a child with a drunk...

got sick...

and died.

That I have no friends anymore,

that everyone has left me,

and that I am completely

alone in this place.

I dreamt that I wanted

to forget about my drinking

with all my strength.

That...

That I wanted to give up

all the people I drink with,

the saloon,

the memories.

I've dreamed that I could not

run away from them.

But it's only a dream,

wasn't it?

Talk back.

[whistles]

# [male chorus humming]

[neighing]

It was your baby.

I wrote you about it

many times,

but there was never a reply.

Later, I would only

write to you

to ask for money...

for the baby.

And there was just one letter

that came from you.

An army document.

It said you got

decorated and promoted.

Then I wrote no more letters.

I didn't want the baby anymore.

I went down to the stable...

with a stick.

I did it by myself.

It was laying down there.

There was this

little white dog

which came to me...

and started to whimper out loud.

It whimpered louder and louder

and wouldn't leave,

attracted by the smell of blood.

I heard someone coming,

so I grabbed the dog.

There will be no life

for me here

if they knew that

I've killed the baby.

When I left the stable

that evening...

I left two dead bodies behind.

I knew I would be not able

to have children ever again.

Hit me.

# [humming]

It takes a lot of time

to hang a man.

[grunts]

The rope... needs to be...

tested three times.

[grunting]

I use a sandbag that's

the same weight as he is.

[chuckles]

[choking]

My-- My leg.

If...

my leg...

m-my leg...

[groaning]

[horse snorts]

Sh*t!

[groaning]

We need to get him.

[neighs]

[groaning]

[muffled scream]

[sobbing]

# [chorus humming]

I received no letters.

I wore...

a uniform.

I looked good in gray.

I used to be the best scout.

Perhaps...

the best in this country.

He used to be...

the best scout.

Perhaps--

[coughs]

the best... in the country.

[coughs]

He was...

one of the finest men we had.

[coughing]

[neighs]

[strikes match]

[chuckling]

[laughing]

With you?

Never with a man like you.

[horse neighing]

[gagging]

Why can't you?

My story is short.

I like life stories,

and I like them short.

People should be able to tell a story

of their stupid, short life in short.

I hate men that

ponder around forever.

I'm different.

Come here.

Kneel down.

Think this is Paris?

Pig!

How was it with that scumbag?

I loved...

every minute of it!

Did he...

or didn't he?

[panting]

# From June until September #

# Hearts are innocent and gay #

# For a few brief

fleeting moments #

# Summer love

drives cares away #

# Summer love comes

oh so quickly #

# Summer love goes oh so fast #

# Summer love's

a lonely highway #

# For the broken hearts

that pass #

# Now summer love-- #

[woman screaming]

You don't know anything

about the battle.

[coughing]

Four slugs I took in the gut.

[coughs]

He wouldn't let me die.

[coughing]

Yes or no?

You remind me of my mother.

#

# I was born in the blast

of a furnace of steel #

# And I wondered

what shape I would be #

# I was hard, I was cold

I was just a day old #

# And I wondered

what future I'd see #

# Then a rough pair of hands

fashioned pieces of steel #

# And a handle of smooth

silky wood #

# And an arm held me out

while the eye of a man #

# Kept staring as hard

as he could #

# O whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa

whoa-whoa, whoa #

Good.

I've got something

that belongs to you.

[gunshot]

It's him.

I told you.

It's him.

[gunshot]

[neighs]

# #

# I tried to call out

but my steel has no tongue #

# To men, I am only a slave #

# I've never forgotten

that terrible day #

# And that man

that I couldn't save #

# No one knows what it means

to be held in a hand #

# To be pointed

and triggered to kill #

# To be labeled a gun

with no power to stop #

# All the blood that

man's shooting will spill #

# O whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa

whoa-whoa, whoa #

# It's a pity a man cannot

live to the age #

# Of a mountain

the desert or sea #

# Only then would he learn

that to kill or be killed #

# Was something

that needed to be #

# Maybe someday, somehow

when all men will meet #

# They will bury their guns

in the ground #

# I hope that they bury me

deep, so deep #

# So deep that

I'll never be found #

# I'm a gun #

# I'm a gun #

# I'm a gun #

# I'm a gun #

# Till the day

that man destroys me #

# I'm a gun #

# It's not the gun

that kills a man #

# It's the man who fires a gun

that kills a man #

# It's not the gun

that kills a man #

# I'm a gun #

# A gun #

I don't want any trouble.

Get rid of your guns.

It's gonna be

all right.

Keep your hands up

and your fingers spread.

You'll have a fair trial.

Let's get out

of this place.

Together.

You know you won't get

away from here alive.

The city...

with the tall houses,

with the streetlamps.

[sobbing]

Where the people take walks

on the street in the evenings.

[sobbing]

Yeah. It could work.

Yeah!

[sobs]

It could work!

[Sheriff]

You are finished.

Give it up!

Promise!

I'm gonna count to three.

Hold this.

Hell no!

I ain't no deputy.

What's wrong with you?

Are you sick or what?

[no audible gunshots]

[audio fades in]

Don't touch me!

[gunshot]

Did you ever...

He took the wedding ring

off my hand before.

The tears I cried...

he thought it was the rain.

Simply a whore.

Not a profession.

A position.

[coughing]

Major.

[coughs]

Hard day?

Hard life.

[coughing]

[coughs]

[coughing]

[wheezing]

[grunts]

Could I fix you once more?

No, thanks.

I just had one.

Is there any

special way?

Oh, no.

Whatever you say.

And then?

And then...

we'll live in the...

big city.

Together forever.
