《New York in the Seventies》歌词

[00:00:00] New York in the Seventies - Allan Taylor (艾伦·泰勒)/Hans-Joerg Maucksch/Martin Moro

[00:00:13] Long Beach early in the morning

[00:00:18] I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea

[00:00:24] I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well

[00:00:30] My little boy is a lot like me

[00:00:39] And I came home late from the city

[00:00:44] I was in the Village having fun

[00:00:50] All the queens were coming out on Christopher Street

[00:00:56] And a new age had begun

[00:01:04] I'm in a long line of lovers

[00:01:10] Who came to New York looking for the Muse

[00:01:16] I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street

[00:01:22] To pay for her dancing shoes

[00:01:30] I played the Gaslight and Gerde's Folk City

[00:01:36] The Bitter End and the occasional bar

[00:01:42] I played the game of money and fame

[00:01:47] 'Cause everybody wants to be a star

[00:01:57] And I had my share of intoxication

[00:02:02] I did a few drugs and drank too much Uncle Jack

[00:02:08] But I stopped in time when I saw the signs

[00:02:14] And I knew I had to get back

[00:02:22] And I'm in a long line of lovers

[00:02:27] Who came to New York looking for the Muse

[00:02:34] I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street

[00:02:39] To pay for her dancing shoes

[00:02:48] And the Vietnam War was still raging

[00:02:53] They were singing protest songs in Washington Square

[00:03:00] Too many guys just never came home

[00:03:05] 'Cause not enough people cared

[00:03:13] And those who made it back were looking lost and confused

[00:03:19] Was it a victory or a tactical retreat

[00:03:25] Either way it left a wound in America's heart

[00:03:31] To see them sleeping out on the street

[00:03:39] I'm in a long line of lovers

[00:03:45] Who came to New York looking for the Muse

[00:03:51] I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street

[00:03:57] To pay for her dancing shoes

[00:04:06] Thirty years later and I'm thinking

[00:04:11] I'm still here some of my friends are gone

[00:04:17] My little boy is grown he's got a son of his own

[00:04:23] Everybody's got to sing their own song

[00:04:31] I came back to Long Beach and I'm looking out at the sea

[00:04:37] I'm standing in a warm summer haze

[00:04:43] I can see those times like I'm in a picture show

[00:04:49] New York in the seventies

[00:04:57] I'm in a long line of lovers

[00:05:03] Who came to New York looking for the Muse

[00:05:09] I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street

[00:05:15] To pay for her dancing shoes

[00:05:24] Long Beach early in the morning

[00:05:28] I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea

[00:05:35] I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well

[00:05:40] My little boy is a lot like me

[00:05:46] My little boy is a lot like me
