A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or
The price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven
Or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No-one’s allowed to see them
When they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember
'Till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for
Through the rough and rainy years
Me, I’ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is she
Charles Aznavour (today would have been his 100th birthday)
9 AM on a New York subway
Strap a hanging, commuting on the double A
Hopeless hope, wordless dreams and wornout wishes
Take a hold, take control of the comfort zone
Melancoly melody
It lingers in my head
Just an hour, just an hour ago
I was in your arms, in your touch
I was in your bed
9 AM on a New York subway
Strap a hanging commuting on the double A
Hopeless hope, wordless dreams and wornout wishes
Take a hold, take control of the comfort zone
Put the pen to paper, yeah
To leave a painful note
From a night-time, form a night-time to a lifetime
You never told your broken soul what was in your head
9 AM on a New York subway.....
Londonbeat
Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency, somebody's going to jail
You find somebody to love in this world, you better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute
Don Henley
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking 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
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm 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
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
Billy Joel (and others, incl Tony Bennett)
New york, open your eyes to me
Let me be what I want to be
Tell me, tell me it's not too late
Big apple, takin' a bite of me
Whole world movin' below my feet
Not like, not like we do in l.a.
New york, make me a part of you
Straight, straight through the heart of you
Tell me, tell me it's not too late
Fleetwood Mac
You say you love me, and i hardly know your name
And if i say i love you, in the candlelight
There's no-one but myself to blame
But there's something inside that's turning my mind away
Oh, how i could love you, if i could let you stay
It's late, when i'm bleeding deep inside
It's late, ooh is it just my sickly pride
👑
Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
When I wake and find that you're not there
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Ray Charles
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
The Beatles
We drank the great lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Owl City
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
[Chorus]
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
Chris Farlowe
