Counting Crows es una banda de rock de Estados Unidos formada por el cantante Adam Duritz (integrante de The Himalayans) y el guitarrista David Bryson en San Francisco durante 1991. La banda se hizo muy popular en 1993 después del debut del álbum "August and Everything After", caracterizado por el tema "Mr. Jones". El origen del nombre Counting Crows (en español: Contando Cuervos), proviene de una rima infantil que aparece en la película "Signs of Life" y que Adam Duritz incluyó en la canción "A Murder Of One".

F They're waking up Maria Bb Cause everybody else F Has got some place to go FBb She makes a little motion with her head F Rolls over, and says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more Bb I said I'm sorry to Maria F For all the cold hearted things that I have done Bb I said I'm sorry by now, at least once F To just about everyone CBb She says, "I've forgotten what I'm supposed to do today" CBb And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say Dm We're getting older and older, and older C And always a little further out of the way
F You look into her eyes BbF And it's more than your heart will allow C In August and everything after BbF You get a little less than you expected, somehow
(repeat pattern for remaining lyrics)
Well, I stumbled into Washington Square Just as the sun began to rise I walked across the lawn to the cathedral And layed down in the shadow of St. Mary's in the sky
I'm just one of these late model children Waiting for the king But there ain't no sign of Elvis in San Francisco It's just me, and I'm playin this rock 'n' roll thing
She wants to be just like me And I want every damn thing I can see You know one day you're daddy's little angel The next day, you're everything he wanted you to be
They dress you up in white satin And they give you your very own pair of wings In August and everything after I'm after everything
I said, la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Now I got my reservations And I got my seven million dollar home And I got the number of some girl in New York City Who's always wide awake so I never have to spend a night alone
I got this nasty little habit of peakin down the shirts Of all the little girls as they pass me by I wonder, when it all catches up to me And I finally break down.. no Did you think I was gonna cry?
Well I already got my disease So take your fucking filthy hands off of me I hope you don't expect me to be crucified The best that they can do is to just hang me from the nearest tree
Cause it's midnight in San Francisco And I'm waiting here for Jesus on my knees In August and everything after I want somebody else to bleed, for me
I said, now la la la la la la la la la la la la la Oh na na na na na na na na na na na ohh..
I came down from North Dakota Cause I had confidence in the military mind Now, everyone I know is just turning showgirl And dancing with their shirt off in some Las Vegas hotel line
So I'm going to New York City Cause it got a little sleezy here for me When I find myself alone I know I'm never going home To make the changes, the changes that we need
But I no longer know how to pray I live in a dog town, and it's a dalmation parade I changed my spots over and over But they never seem to fade away
I am the last remaining Indian Looking for the place where the Buffalo roam In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never comin home
In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never comin home
