"Union Square" lyrics
"Union Square"
Well time is always money
For the boys at Union Square
Go on and bust your ass till doomsday
Don't forget to say your prayers
Someone's riding down the backstreet
Said papa got a brand-new slack
And your baby is handcuffed on the front seat
Sit right there, boy and you relax
C'mon honey, we're all going down, down, down, downtown
Down downtown
We're going down downtown
We're going down downtown
Well, you spill out of the Cinema Fourteen
To that drag bar there on the block
Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast
Bank rolled up on your sock
She stand right there for your pleasure
Half Puerto Rican Chinese
You got to find your baby somebody to measure
I'm going to get me some of these, baby
C'mon honey, do you hear what I'm doing now?
Down, down, down, down, down, down downtown
Down downtown
I'm going down downtown
'Bout four in the morning on a Sunday
Sacco drinking whiskey in church
Half pint of Festival brandy
That boy 'bout to fall right off his perch
Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty
Well, he's out in front of that welfare hotel
The guy in the dress is a beauty
Go all the way, I swear you never can tell
C'mon honey and pull up your socks
Down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, downtown
Down downtown
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
C'mon down downtown
Going down downtown
I'm going down downtown

Tim Buckley - "Get On Top" Well that girl walks in a stormy bitching whine
Well she moves that cool black dress all across the floor
Tell your mama to sing out, like a slow burn
Slow burn your motel walls, over me
Get on top...
Jim White - "Burn The River Dry" Door is locked, no one's home
Frame is empty, picture's missing
Throw that rock right through the window
Hey, I know him, he's a singer
Roam around, another town, looks like Phoenix, Arizona
Borrow...
Richard Thompson - "Read About Love" Asked my daddy when I was thirteen
Daddy can you tell me what love really means?
His eyes went glassy, not a word was said
He poured another beer and his face turned red
Asked my mother, she acted...
Fairport Convention - "Genesis Hall" My father he rides with your sheriffs
And I know he would never mean harm
But to see both sides of a quarrel
Is to judge without haste or alarm
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don't have anywhere...
Grinderman - "Depth Charge Ethel" I entered the room and the canned laughter
Ethel was angled across some dude's knee
I offered to clothe her to feed and to bath her
If she'd just give me a little exclusivity
Depth Charge Ethel...
