What's the story behind the song "August and Everything After" and where can I find a copy of it?

You can't.

The song's lyrics appear on the front and back of the CD insert for the album, but the song is not on the album. Rumor is that the band recorded the song for AAEA but couldn't come up with a version that they liked enough to put on the album.

You can, however, see the lyrics that are printed on the album cover.
