Ashcroft, Richard - New York Lyrics






Are you tuning in [x4]

And I wanted to go
Half my life
And I feel kind of strange
Like I never lived that life

And I'm trying hard
To control my heart
And I always want to know
And I always want to go

New York are you tuning in
New York big city of dreams
New York oh what a city
New York
Are you tuning in [x4]

There's now time to unpack, yea
Let's get straight out on the street
And feel no inhibitions
This city was built for me

And my head is full of questions
When did I feel this good
In the arms of my lover
Burning through the night of New York

And its funny how time flies
In the city that never sleeps
It's getting after hours
And I'm feeling the heat

I'm almost dead and buried
The day nearly done
But I want to keep on going
I'm going to kiss the sun in New York

And I'm feeling kind of selfish
Cause I'm just flying home
I've been busy on your island
Just having my own fun
It's an English tradition

Find some money make some time
Get busy on your island
And slowly lose our minds in New York

    sad times occured when Urban hyms was released, stopped listening to them and i loved the album, played often then sold with a few others. This is the 1st time ive properly listened to any Richard Ashcroft music in 19 years..Sounds cool and mellow, and mainly about New York, a place of no interest to me.

    w.... V....

    Master Piece Just imagine he's singing about Milton Keynes or Dundee or wherever it is that is of interest to you.
