I Love New York

There's a very vaild reason for that.

And love don't play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
The world won't wait, so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing their tune
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

And love won't play any games with you
Anymore if you don't want 'em to
The world won't wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you, New York
Hell, I still love you, New York
New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the upper west side
Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
At least we left before we had to go

And love won't play any games with you
Anymore if you don't want 'em to
So we better shake this old thing out the door
I'll always be thinkin' of you
I'll always love you though New York
I'll always love you though New York, New York, New York

I've only been to New York four times, or was it five. I'm not too sure. One time my dad took me there and I think we stayed for two days and then we went back to Maryland. I don't remember why we went there.

Oh, I stayed at the Chelsea when I was with my dad too.

springtime in new york when it's may and the leaves are on the trees
when demolishing a building brings the smell of 1890 to the breeze
on first avenue our couple is fighting
springtime is wild, new york is exciting
and I love springtime in new york
springtime in new york I do

well springtime in new york, in thirty days will come the sticky summer nights
and if you've been in new york city in july you know when I say sticky I'm right
on first avenue our couple is breaking up
evicted too, they must be shaken up
but I love springtime in new york
springtime in new york I do
springtime in new york
springtime in new york I do

Yeah, whatever. You like what you like.

Umm, near my cousins' house? I don't know, and that doesn't really matter. If I see him, I see him. He does have an appartment in NY though.

I just would rather live somewhere in Maryland. I think I'd try to find a place near Chesepeak Bay. I've grown acustom to living near a bay or just any body of water. I like it.

They played I think, was it, 17 in SF! I bet if I had yelled "Eighties" at Raven like I had yelled "Kings & Queens", they would have played it.

I said "Eightes"!! What the Hell is that?!!

"Eighties", "Eighties" a much better song than "Eightes"

Well... you did get a chance to see the East Village, Greenwich Village, Chinatown and Times Square when I took you there.

I like it there but I'd like to saty at other hotels too.

The Chelsea is a cool place to stay but I hear you

One time my dad took me there and I think we stayed for two days and then we went back to Maryland. I don't remember why we went there.
We went to New York as a side trip when we went to visit our family in Maryland... your uncle was sick and died shortly after we returned to California.

Oh, I stayed at the Chelsea when I was with my dad too.
I originally took you there to show you the place where I stayed before I got my first apartment in the city. I stayed there a month. I think it cost me a little less than $900 for a month. This was back in 1985 or so. The room was a little ratty but fairly large. I think it was on the second floor. I don't believe it was the room where Sid killed Nancy but it could have been.

No. It couldn't have been. That room no longer exists. It's just a bunch of bricks now.

But the number scrambleing is a good point. The room we stayed in last time, in January, had its numbers changed. You could see what the old number was and my mom thought the same as you Alex.

for a minute i thought ronan had taken aja on an ill-advised jaunt.

That's my dad.

I'm mad about good books,
Can't get my fill,
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks
Give me a thrill.
Holding hands
At the movie show,
When all the lights are low
May not be new,
But I like it,
How about you?

I like Jack Benny's jokes.
To a degree.
I love the common folks.
That includes me.
I like to window shop
On 5th Avenue.
I like banana splits,
Late supper at the Ritz,
How about you?

I love to dream of fame,
Maybe I'll shine.
I'd love to see your name
Right beside mine.
I can see
We're in harmony
Looks like we both agree
On what to do,
And I like it,
How about you?

I was hoping this was going to be about the VH1 show, which I love in a surprising fashion.

Midget Mac is my favorite. I hope he wins.
