Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Paul Heaton & Dave Rotheray
[00:01.00] 作词 : Heaton, Rotheray
[00:34.38] Ginger elvis presley looked a fraction sad
[00:37.40] Roaming the whole town from bin to bin
[00:43.96] Well living on the streets wasnt all that bad
[00:47.09] Where no-one seemed to know that he was king
[00:52.96] The sound of new york city
[00:55.52] Isnt police sirens wailing
[00:58.21] Its the sound of wall street tills
[01:00.46] Whilst everyone is failing
[01:03.02] Sometimes you feel expensive
[01:07.34] Sometimes you feels so cheap
[01:09.46] You can roam the streets a king
[01:12.59] Whilst everyones asleep
[01:14.53] You can mime to any record
[01:17.40] With a hairbrush or a spoon
[01:20.09] But God help the singer out of tune
[01:25.40] A crippled mohammad ali
[01:36.96] Looked at bad luck in the mirror
[01:39.09] Bad luck looked back at him and sighed
[01:45.15] He looked a good foot smaller
[01:46.84] And a couple of stone thinner
[01:49.15] And if anyone came toward him
[01:51.28] He would hide
[01:53.22] The sound of north america
[01:55.65] Isnt christians quietly praying
[01:58.72] Its the sound of shuffling feet
[02:01.28] That dont know where theyre going
[02:05.78] Sometimes you feel expensive
[02:08.22] Sometimes you feels so cheap
[02:10.47] You can roam the streets a king
[02:13.47] Whilst everyones asleep
[02:15.34] You can fight with anybody
[02:18.03] With a glimmer of a chance
[02:20.53] But God help the boxer with no hands
[02:26.66] A homeless greta garbo
[02:37.66] Moves across the street
[02:38.97] The moonlight shining clearly
[02:41.72] Through her skirt
[02:45.78] A real life living legend
[02:47.59] That no-one wants to meet
[02:50.47] And thats when being garbo
[02:52.09] Really hurts
[02:55.47] The lyrics of new york
[02:56.97] May have frank sinatra singing
[02:59.85] But the rhythm and the melody
[03:02.15] Were dead black men swinging
[03:04.72] Sometimes you feel expensive
[03:08.66] Sometimes you feels so cheap
[03:11.10] You can roam the streets a queen
[03:14.47] Whilst everyones asleep
[03:16.54] You can act with anybody
[03:18.16] From the cradle to the crypt
[03:21.54] But God help the actress
[03:23.66] Who doesnt know the script
