Eugene Mcguinness - Those Old Black And White Movies Were True lyrics

rate me

The street glistens like the stars in the sky<br />

The frost christens every car that drives by<br />

And then I know<br />

Those old black and white movies were true<br />

<br />

A slow taxi through the twinkling glitz<br />

Takes us past the megastores<br />

The whores, the poor, the rich in the Ritz<br />

Then I know<br />

Those old black and white movies were true<br />

<br />

Is there enough change in your pocket<br />

For another gin and tonic?<br />

And a moment when the conscience explodes<br />

The snow upon the bonnet<br />

The picture<br />

The song<br />

The sonnet<br />

The morning light as she puts on her clothes<br />

<br />

The steps up out of the subway to the cold<br />

Your cute face, dumb hat, runny nose<br />

<br />

Yeah I know<br />

Those old black and white movies were true<br />

<br />
