Till the End of the Day

Davies recalled of the process of writing the song, Of the song's meaning, Davies said, "That song was about freedom, in the sense that someone's been a slave or locked up in prison. It's a song about escaping something. I didn't know it was about my state of mind." Billboard described the song as a "rockin' dance beat wailer with up-beat lyric". Cash Box described the single as a "rollicking, fast-moving, bluesy romancer about a fella who is especially hung-up on his gal". ==Cover versions==

A cover version by Big Star appeared on the CD release of Third/Sister Lovers. Alex Chilton, the singer for Big Star, would eventually record the song with Davies 30 years later for Davies' album See My Friends. The song was covered by Japanese band Shonen Knife and is one of four songs on the CD single "Brown Mushrooms And Other Delights" from their Rock Animals album released in 1993. Ty Segall's band Fuzz covered the song on their 2013 debut album.
