Say Goodbye to HollywoodVer letra 4:36

letra de Say Goodbye to Hollywood
Bobby's driving through the city tonight
Through the lights
In a hot new rent-a-car.
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard.
[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood,
Say goodbye my baby.
Johnny's taking care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadours.
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore.
[Chorus]
Moving on is a chance that you take every time you try to stay together.
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever, forever.
So many faces in and out of my life,
Some will last, some will just be now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.
[Chorus]
Moving on is a chance that you take every time you try to stay together.
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever, forever.
So many faces in and out of my life,
Some will last, some will just be now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.

letra de Summer, Highland Falls
They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
But I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria
So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
Though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we'll help fulfill each other's fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives with our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria
All You Wanna Do Is DanceVer letra 3:39

letra de All You Wanna Do Is Dance
Oh baby, you don't get turned on by the radio.
Oh baby, you got nothing to play on your stereo.
"Why don't the Beatles get back together?"
"Why don't nobody sing of romance?"-
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.
Oh baby, I think you are lost in the seventies.
Oh baby, "The music she ain't what she used to be."
You don't understand what they're saying,
You've given it every chance
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.
Well you wish you were back in the good old days,
When tomatoes were cheaper,
And you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch speaker.
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs,
You were all getting sick on beer-
And you didn't get any (unless you went steady and made out for a year).
Well you can hide away honey, in your rock and roll dreams,
You can stand by your blue suede shoes-
But the party is over,
And I'm getting tired of waiting for you.
Oh baby, "Where are the oldies they used to play?"
Oh baby, you want to crawl back into yesterday,
You don't want to deal with the future,
You don't want to make any plans-
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.

letra de New York State of Mind
Some folks like to get away,
Take a holiday from the neighborhood.
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood.
But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines.
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
I know what I'm needin', and I don't want to waste more time.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News.
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
Oh yeah.
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News.
Who, oh, oh whoa who.
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a New York state of mind.
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York state of mind.
JamesVer letra 3:53

letra de James
James, we were always friends
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways.
I went on the road
You pursued an education.
James, do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
Will you ever write your masterpiece?
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations? James
You were so relied upon
Everybody knows how hard you tried.
Hey, look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride.
James, you've been well behaved,
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are?
Do what's good for you, or you're not good for anybody, James.
I went on the road,
You pursued an education, James
How you gonna know for sure?
Everything was so well organized.
Hey, now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied.
James, do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
When will you write your masterpiece?
Do what's good for you, or you're not good for anybody, James.

Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go out on Broadway)Ver letra 5:28

letra de Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go out on Broadway)
Seen the lights go out Broadway
I saw the Empire State laid low
And life went on beyond the Palisades
They all bought Cadillacs
And left there long ago
They held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet
You know we almost didn't notice it
We'd seen it all the time on 42nd Street
They burned the churches down in Harlem
Like in that Spanish civil war
The flames were everywhere
But no one really cared
It always burned up there before
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the Battery
The union went on strike
They never sailed at all
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free
They said that Queens could stay
They blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out at sea
You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive
