"I'll Take New York" lyrics
"I'll Take New York"
I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride that dream
To the end of the line
I'm going to be going places
I'll get a ride
Take me to the Riverside
I'm gonna take you, New York
I'll make it happen
I'm on the Garbos
I'm drinking Manhattans
I'll take a splash on the big town
That's how I will arrive
Have you got two tens for a five?
You've got to roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
Break out the best champagne when I land
You've got to beat the parade drum
Hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars
I'm gonna take you, New York
I'll make it all happen
I'm on the caboose
I'm drinking Manhattans
And I know someday
They're gonna name a street after me
Right next door to old Franklin D
I'm gonna take you, Big Town
Come on, New York
Come on, move over, Big Town
I'll take New York
Come on, Big Town
Come on, get happy
New York
Come on

John Martyn - "The Easy Blues" Mister jelly roll baker
Can I please be your slave
When Gabriel blows his horn
I'm going to rise from my grave
For your sweet jelly roll
You bake the best jelly roll in town
You're the only man bakes...
Scott Walker - "Two Ragged Soldiers" They spoke transparent phrases to looking glass women
And they took the detours that scattered the way
They departed from summer like two ragged soldiers
Dragging their heels through their fantasies...
Tim Hardin - "Never Too Far" The things you sing
Will change you way
Like dark from day
Where you are
From day to day
Your lies will blame
Till you're away
But never too far
Do you feel more like going on
When I say I was...
The Handsome Family - "I Fell" There's a mountain north of Winnipeg
Buried under ice
And as the black clouds roll above
White pines crack like glass
Walking under those swaying trees
Branches bowed with ice
I wanted one to fall...
Tindersticks - "Sleepy Song" Tell me
I can think right
Am I going home tonight
Or staying here?
Turn over
Turn out the light
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
If you let me sleep
I would wake up
I haven't closed my eyes...
