Prefab Sprout Hey Manhattan! lyrics
Hey Manhattan! lyrics by Prefab Sprout
Guess what! Summer's arrived
I feel the world's on my side
The Brooklyn bridge stretches below me
A billion souls all dying to know me
Well here I am, Loaded with promise
And knee deep in grace
What I want is here on my face and
I feel like I own the whole damn place
Hey Manhattan! Here I am!
Call me star struck uncle Sam
Strolling fifth avenue
Just to think Sinatra's been here too
These myths we can't undo they lie in wait for you
We live them till they're true
Manhattan doobie doo
Hey Manhattan doobie doo
Some day's you've got to get outside
Look there's the Carlyle
That's the place where Kennedy stayed
And where were you when he died?
Yeah some things are slow to fade
There they were loaded with promise
And deep in fate when what you want shows on your face
And all that's left litters the whole damn place
Hey Manhattan! Here I am!
Call it bad luck uncle Sam
Scrounging fifth avenue
Just to think the poor could live here too
But what are they to do?
These myths belong to you
We live them till they're true
Manhattan doobie doo
Hey Manhattan doobie doo
