Prefab Sprout - Hey Manhattan ! lyrics

rate me

40

Guess what ! summer's arrived i feel the world's on my side

2b

The brooklyn bridge stretches below me

29

A billion souls all dying to know me

29

Well here i am ! loaded with promise

1b

And knee deep in grace

27

What i want is here on my face and

2b

I feel like i own the whole damn place

5

3f

Hey manhattan ! here i am ! call me star-struck uncle sam.

1b

Strolling fifth avenue

2c

- just to think sinatra's been here too

37

These myths we can't undo they lie in wait for you

24

We live them till they're true,

34

Manhattan doobie doo. hey manhattan doobie doo.

4f

Someday's you've got to get outside - look there's "the carlyle"

2b

That's the place where kennedy stayed,

26

And where were you when he died ?

29

(yeah some things are slow to fade.)

2a

There they were - loaded with promise

3e

Knee deep in fate - when what you want shows on your face

31

All that's left litters the whole damn place

5

3c

Hey manhattan ! here i am ! call it bad luck uncle sam.

1c

Scrounging fifth avenue

31

- just to think the poor could live here too

39

But what are they to do ? these myths belong to you,

24

We live them till they're true,

33

Manhattan doobie doo. hey manhattan doobie doo
