Another Friday
Another day alone
It must be nice to sit
Inside your little home
I get up and dressed
Go out and catch a bus
I get to work
And sit at my desk
Alone again
It seems like such a
Waste of time
I wish that I was home
The days go slow and
It’s not that I
need help
But it’s nice
to have
Some company
Some days I find
It hard to stay
When at work
I am alone
Just to have
Another nearby
Gives comfort
Without a word
Sometimes I think
That I am
The only one
Actually working
At this place
While others are
Having fun
I give so much
And get so little
While others
Get all the praise
I try so hard
To not be bitter
But here it is
Another Friday
And I am
yet alone.

'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.
