SinceThe70s Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee Fifty million people out in front of me Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while Rain's coming down I can't see a thing Radio's broken so I'm whistling New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles It's not right, It's not fair I'm still a mess, And you still don't care I go to work, I come back home But you're still gone, And I'm still alone And the little red light's not blinking No, no the little red light's not blinking No, no the little red light's not blinking On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone Oh no (RIP Adam Schlesinger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door New York, lookin' down on Central Park Where they say you should not wander after dark New York, like a scene from all those movies But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart A heart that lives in New York A heart in New York, a rose on the street I write my song to that city heartbeat A heart in New York, love in her eye, an open door and a friend for the night New York, you got money on your mind And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just for a moment I stood there In silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied I caught a good one, it looked like it could run Up on its back and away I did ride Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the badlands of New Mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Up every morning just to keep a job (up!) I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob (up!) Sounds of the city pounding in my brain (up!) While another day goes down the drain (up!) (Yeah, yeah, yeah) but it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No-one owns a piece of my time And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes Thinking that the world looks fine, yeah A-da-lay-ee-ee (up, up, up!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair It's just another day Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat It's just another day At the office where the papers grow she takes a break Drinks another coffe and she finds it hard to stay awake It's just another day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
