《The Sound Of North America》歌词

[00:00:34] Ginger elvis presley looked a fraction sad

[00:00:37] Roaming the whole town from bin to bin

[00:00:43] Well living on the streets wasnt all that bad

[00:00:47] Where no-one seemed to know that he was king

[00:00:52] The sound of new york city

[00:00:55] Isnt police sirens wailing

[00:00:58] Its the sound of wall street tills

[00:01:00] Whilst everyone is failing

[00:01:03] Sometimes you feel expensive

[00:01:07] Sometimes you feels so cheap

[00:01:09] You can roam the streets a king

[00:01:12] Whilst everyones asleep

[00:01:14] You can mime to any record

[00:01:17] With a hairbrush or a spoon

[00:01:20] But God help the singer out of tune

[00:01:25] A crippled mohammad ali

[00:01:36] Looked at bad luck in the mirror

[00:01:39] Bad luck looked back at him and sighed

[00:01:45] He looked a good foot smaller

[00:01:46] And a couple of stone thinner

[00:01:49] And if anyone came toward him

[00:01:51] He would hide

[00:01:53] The sound of north america

[00:01:55] Isnt christians quietly praying

[00:01:58] Its the sound of shuffling feet

[00:02:01] That dont know where theyre going

[00:02:05] Sometimes you feel expensive

[00:02:08] Sometimes you feels so cheap

[00:02:10] You can roam the streets a king

[00:02:13] Whilst everyones asleep

[00:02:15] You can fight with anybody

[00:02:18] With a glimmer of a chance

[00:02:20] But God help the boxer with no hands

[00:02:26] A homeless greta garbo

[00:02:37] Moves across the street

[00:02:38] The moonlight shining clearly

[00:02:41] Through her skirt

[00:02:45] A real life living legend

[00:02:47] That no-one wants to meet

[00:02:50] And thats when being garbo

[00:02:52] Really hurts

[00:02:55] The lyrics of new york

[00:02:56] May have frank sinatra singing

[00:02:59] But the rhythm and the melody

[00:03:02] Were dead black men swinging

[00:03:04] Sometimes you feel expensive

[00:03:08] Sometimes you feels so cheap

[00:03:11] You can roam the streets a queen

[00:03:14] Whilst everyones asleep

[00:03:16] You can act with anybody

[00:03:18] From the cradle to the crypt

[00:03:21] But God help the actress

[00:03:23] Who doesnt know the script
