Um cantor/compositor conhecido por seu rico e expressivo barítono, o nativo de Nova Jérsei John Gorka foi uma das principais luzes do novo movimento do folk. John começou sua carreira enquanto frequentava a faculdade em Pensilvânia no começo dos anos 80, aparecendo em noites de open-mike em um café local antes de eventualmente formar seu próprio grupo, The Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Logo ele caiu na estrada, performando pela Costa Leste de cima

UP UNTIL THEN by John Gorka >From the album "Out of the Valley" High Street Records, 1994
Intro: G/D/C/D (x4)
GDCD They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot GDCD Who was looking for a man of steel GDCD Who would fill up her nights with forget-me-nots GDCD And a dream no one else could reveal
GDCD Her new man said to meet him at eight GDCD She came in dressed to the nines GDCD But by ten it was clear he was more than late GDCD And she just wouldn't take it this time
EmD The bartender said she had had enough GC That he'd call a cab to take her somewhere EmD But she wasn't a stranger to loneliness GC She had grown up and spent her life there
CHORUS GD Up until then, up until then CEm It happened over and over again GDCD Up until then, up until then, up until then
GDCD Well practice had increased her tolerance GDCD And she had hardly eaten all day GDCD She was all hyped up on her new romance GDCD But she drank in the usual way
GDCD She stepped out to breathe and to dry her eyes GDCD To check her machine just in case GDCD He had called to excuse or apologize GDCD When she saw his unpenitent face
EmD He approached with a girl she had seen before GC A bimbo up from Raspberry Street EmD When he saw her he laughed and so did the whore GC They dropped a ten dollar bill at their feet
[CHORUS]
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: G/D/C/D (x2)]
GDCD She was small he was tall but she blocked his path GDCD She explained in unprintable words GDCD The reason she seized him so full of wrath GDCD That more than half of the neighborhood heard
GDCD She sprayed him with mace from her pocketbook GDCD And then kicked in his personal zones GDCD Her high heels would ruin his perfect looks GDCD She left a couple of unbroken bones
EmD Well the bimbo she ran in to get the cops GC But the owner had called from the bar EmD It took two cars with dogs just to make her stop GC I'm told that's how some women are
[CHORUS]
GDCD They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot GDCD But she would suffer in no permanent way GDCD She spent thirty nights on a county cot GDCD And she's regarded with fear till this day
GD Up until then, but never again CEm It happened over and over again GDCD Up until then, up until then, up until then
EmD Now she's tending bar where the Pagans used to meet C And he's living with that bimbo up on DG Raspberry Street
Outro: G/D/C/D [repeat to fade]
