Prefab Sprout - Hey Manhattan ! Lyrics
Guess what ! summers arrived I feel the worlds on my sideThe brooklyn bridge stretches below meA billion souls all dying to know meWell here I am ! loaded with promiseAnd knee deep in graceWhat I want is here on my face andI feel like I own the whole damn placeHey manhattan ! here I am ! call me star-struck uncle sam.Strolling fifth avenue- just to think sinatras been here tooThese myths we cant undo they lie in wait for youWe live them till theyre true,Manhattan doobie doo. hey manhattan doobie doo.Somedays youve got to get outside - look theres the carlyleThats the place where kennedy stayed,And where were you when he died ?(yeah some things are slow to fade.)There they were - loaded with promiseKnee deep in fate - when what you want shows on your faceAll thats left litters the whole damn placeHey manhattan ! here I am ! call it bad luck uncle sam.Scrounging fifth avenue- just to think the poor could live here tooBut what are they to do ? these myths belong to you,We live them till theyre true,Manhattan doobie doo. hey manhattan doobie doo
