[X]New York is my destination.letra de New York Is My Destination
New York is where I will be from.
New York is made for grander things.
Just. Like. Me.
I will lunch at the Algonquin.
Swing by the Plaza, waltz on in.
The Three Arts Club, I'll live there,
Indefinitely.
New York is made for grander things
Just. Like. Me.
Literati,
Yes, they will love me.
Paparazzi,
Well, could it be?
Glitterati,
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me.
All of the tales of seduction.
Glittering on the horizon.
Mountains of fame. And fortune. And snow
Finally.
New York is made for grander things
Just. Like. Me.
Literati,
Yes, they will love me.
Paparazzi,
Well, could it be?
Glitterati,
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me.
Practice at the Parnassus
Cram for Columbia classes
Ride the 5th Avenue busses
Weave some tale about us...
I lost all my money for Juilliard.
I hid in the phone booth at ????'s.
I slept in a brothel, on the way to
Destiny.
New York is made for grander things
Just. Like. Me.
Literati,
Yes, they will love me.
Paparazzi,
Well, could it be?
Glitterati,
Will they know of me?
New York's waiting for me.
New York is made for grander things.
Just. Like. Me. - Instant Of The Hour AfterVer letra 3:06
[X]That's enough. Out of you.letra de Instant Of The Hour After
Tonight. My darling.
This show is over for now.
The monkey is dead.
I detest all this drunken brawling.
Now let's see if you can make it into this bed.
How I love you. How I loathe you.
It's a sharp, quick love. I feel. My darling.
You're not as drunk as you seem. So why pretend.
On your cheek, that sweet shadow falling.
The pulse in your neck, how I'll know it, right to the end.
How I love you. How I loathe you.
All you can say is:
"Reverberating vacuity."
"Lousy simile."
"Vacant majesty."
In the instant of the hour after.
But right now. It's you and me.
My darling.
Trapped here inside of this bottle, drowning like flies.
When the frenzy's over.
We're crawling.
Specimens. Spent and exhausted,
We press to the sides.
How I love you. How I loathe you. - We Of MeVer letra 2:52
[X]My squeezed heart dividesletra de We Of Me
Into two wide wings
The world is
A sudden place
If you don't
Belong to anything
Noah may have got it wrong
There's one more
That could belong
This must be the
Irony of Fate
That I and the world
Are always separate
All other people
Have a we to claim
Except for me
And my own name
I belong to be
With the two of you
And we make three
As a family
That is why
You're the we of me
We of me
I belong to be
With the two of you
And we make three
As a family
That is why
You're the we of me
We of me
Noah's ark admitted, only two by two
We know this isn't always true
Noah may have got it wrong
There's one more that could belong
I belong to be
With the two of you
We make three
As a family
That is why
You are the we of me
The we of me
That is why
You are the we of me
The we of me
That is why
You are the we of me
The we of me - AnnemarieVer letra 3:18
[X]I saw your faceletra de Annemarie
I'd knew you'd haunt me
For all... of my life.
Rising above me.
If you could want me, I'd be
No man's wife.
Everyone sees you
Everyone knows you
How can I possibly compare?
Who could attain you, with
All of your pain, who could
Possibly hold one so fair?
Terror, pity, love.
Annemarie.
Brilliant and stormy
Her perfect beauty
She moves through the world. With
Money and family
She glitters with trouble she's that
Kind of girl
Everyone wants you
Everyone loves you
How can I possibly compete?
Who can explain you
With all of your pain, who
Could possibly make you complet
Terror pity love.
Annemarie.
If I could see God
His face would be sacred
Like yours... Annemarie
But God's face is hidden and
Your face is suddenly
All I can see
Everyone worships you
Everyone needs you
How can I possibly complain?
Who will contain you,
With all of your pain, could I
Gather up all that you remain?
Terror pity love.
Annemarie. - 12 Mortal Men 2:47
- Harper LeeVer letra 3:43
[X]Virginia Woolfletra de Harper Lee
She leaves me cold
I recognize the genius
But I'm twice as bold
I have more to say
Than Hemingway
Lord knows, compared to Faulker
I say it in a better way
Graham Greene
He loves me
He loves my poetic
Sensibility
Katherine Anne Porter
Might be the best one now
But in about a year
I'm gonna show her how
Yes I will
Said to Reeves the other day
Proust really is the man
Who comforts me in a way
No other writer can
The timeless quality of the work
The length! Is very long
Believe me Marcel Proust goes on
And on and on and on. 7 volumes
Oh, Harper. Harper
Lee. Lee. Lee
She only wrote that one book
I've written more than three
Darling Tennessee Williams
It's anybody's guess
Why "Streetcar" made millions
And "Wedding" so much less
I will forever be pondering that one
Oh, Harper. Harper
Lee. Lee. Lee
Why do they always compare her to me
To me
Won't even talk about
Eudora Welty
As for F. Scott, my Sad Cafe
Is greater than his Gatsby
I'm just telling you
What someone told me they read
I never look at my reviews
They might give me the big head
Now Truman Capote was hypnotized
Mesmerized. Cause he realized
That I knew that he knew
That he had plagiarized
My cadences!
Imagine his surprise,
You'll see it in his eyes
When I win that Nobel Prize
Thank you. Thank you so very much
Harper. Harper
Lee. Lee. Lee
Why do they always compare her to me
To me
She always seems to be receiving
More than she deserves
Honey, she's poaching on
My literary preserves
Yes from Harper Lee
We have seen and we've heard and
I'd like to kill more than just
That mocking bird
You know, sometimes I really would
So you just wait until next year - Lover, BelovedVer letra 3:24
[X]Lover Belovedletra de Lover, Beloved
Behold each of these
The lover pursues.
The beloved one fLees.
Lover Beloved
From countries apart
Each one alone
In the land of the heart
Each one alone in the land of the heart
Lover Beloved
Forever stripped bare.
Turn in the night
And it's he who is there
Liar and lover
And hero, and thief
Turn in the night
And he brings no relief
Brother, or husband
He brings no relief
The man across the Styx, will send
Flowers from beyond the end
The man across the Styx will be
Her lover for eternity
Lover Beloved
Her brave cavalier
All of his love
Raising hatred and fear
Lover Beloved
Each craving the touch
Each bears the burden
Of loving too much
Each bears the burden
Of loving too much
The man across the Styx, will send
Flowers from beyond the end
The man across the Styx will be
Her lover for eternity
Lover Beloved
Behold both of these.
Lover pursues.
Beloved one flees.
Lover Beloved
From countries apart
Each one alone
In the land of the heart
Each one alone in the land of the heart. - The Ballad Of Miss AmeliaVer letra 4:18
[X]On any southern afternoonletra de The Ballad Of Miss Amelia
If anyone would care to look
A face appears inside a house
A terrible face
It is sexless
And white
It is dim
Like the faces
In dreams...
It's Miss Amelia
She's waiting by the window
Remembering the laughing
In the cafe down below
Once Miss Amelia
Married a man
She married Marvin ????
No one could understand
She must have done it for the presents
Cause she didn't like him much
And even on their wedding night
She wouldn't let him touch
Well, he hung around the doorways
Acting foolish with bliss
Until he came too close one day
She swung once with her fist
Miss Amelia was a strong woman
She was big and tall
Swung once and Marvin ????
Well he fell against the wall
Now Miss Amelia is
Sitting by the shutters
Remembering the laughing
In the cafe long ago...
After Marvin ????
Had long gone away
A little hunchback came to town
And this is strange to say
That Miss Amelia who had never loved
She fell in love with him
He was a skipping little troublemaker
Still she took him in
And so they lived together
And were happy for a time
Everybody came around
And they would drink and dine
Miss Amelia made a whiskey
It was fine and it was rare
Would warm a man into his soul
And show' the writing there
Miss Amelia's story
Is simple and sad
Marvin ????, he returned to town
With all the evil that he had
The skipping little hunchback
He was quite impressed
With Marvin Macy's history
Of robbery and the rest
I will not get specific
But just let it now be said
There was terrible light one night
And Miss Amelia was ahead
Until the little hunchback
Jumped in on Marvin Macy's side
Everybody all agreed
That's the night the cafe died
On any southern afternoon
If anyone would care to look
A face appears inside a house
A terrible face
It is sexless and white
It is dim
Like the faces
In dreams
It's Miss Amelia
She's waiting by the window
Remembering the laughing
In the cafe down below
It's Miss Amelia
Sitting by the shutters
Remembering the laughing
In the cafe long ago... - Carson's Last Supper 3:32
