Don’t you know the hour is getting late

Anita
Can I drive you home along the interstate
You bought a house
Outside La Grange
You make your home
Out on the range
The more I try
I am amazed
The more I stay
You stay the same
Anita
Anita
Don’t you have the time for you and me
Anita
Anita
Spinning like a golden, piece of wedding ring
You bought a house
Outside La Grange
You make your home
Out on the range
And when I try
To say goodbye
You cry my tears
And close my eyes
Anita
Anita
You and I put lights up on that tree
Anita
Anita
Next to you is silence in a memory
You got the grace
And I got time
To buy your books
And read your mind
But when the hour
Is getting late
You leave alone
And I remain
You make it home
And I remain

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
