[00:27.96]The first to put a simple truth in words
[00:31.87]
[00:33.57]Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
[00:40.62]'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
[00:43.83]
[00:46.34]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[00:53.17]A tenner, up and out into New York
[00:58.92]Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
[01:05.36]And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
[01:11.45]It's the modern Rome and folk are nice to Yoko
[01:18.31]Every bone of rivet steel,
[01:20.97]each corner stone an ankle
[01:23.71]Jenga jutts and rusted water tower,
[01:27.11]pillar-posted sign
[01:29.95]Every painted line and battered,
[01:33.25]laddered building in this town
[01:35.97]Sings a life of proud endeavor
[01:39.60]at the best that man can be
[01:42.96]Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
[01:48.30]Planning, drilling, welding,
[01:50.96]carrying their fingers to the nub
[01:55.02]Reaching down into the ground,
[01:57.99]stretching up into the sky
[02:00.99]Why?
[02:01.95]Because they can,
[02:03.98]they did and do so you and I could live together
[02:09.10]
[02:34.50]Oh my god, New York can talk
[02:38.27]
[02:39.36]Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
[02:46.21]Everybody owns the great ideas
[02:50.77]
[02:51.78]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[02:56.61]
[02:59.55]Oh my god, New York can talk
[03:04.38]Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
[03:10.15]
[03:10.93]Everybody owns the great ideas
[03:15.25]
[03:16.87]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[03:24.17]
[03:25.06]Oh my god, New York can talk
[03:29.53]Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
[03:36.24]Everybody owns the great ideas
[03:42.15]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[03:48.43]The design in a patchwork symphony
[03:54.69]The desire like a distant storm
[04:00.63]For love, did it come for me
[04:07.20]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[04:13.31]The design in a patchwork symphony
[04:18.75]
[04:19.64]The desire like a distant storm
[04:25.85]For love, did it come for me
[04:32.21]And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
[04:39.22]
[04:40.35]The way the day begins
[04:43.67]
[04:46.53]Decides the shade of everything
[04:51.66]But the way it ends depends on if you're home
[04:56.55]
[04:57.68]For every soul, a pillow at a window, please
[05:03.96]In a modern Rome, where folk are nice to Yoko
