| [00:02.51] |
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, |
| [00:08.94] |
you were talking so brave and so sweet, |
| [00:14.93] |
giving me head on the unmade bed, |
| [00:20.10] |
while the limousines wait in the street. |
| [00:25.86] |
Those were the reasons and that was New York, |
| [00:30.83] |
we were running for the money and the flesh. |
| [00:36.72] |
And that was called love for the workers in song |
| [00:41.63] |
probably still is for those of them left. |
| [00:47.00] |
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, |
| [00:52.73] |
you just turned your back on the crowd, |
| [00:57.61] |
you got away, I never once heard you say, |
| [01:02.83] |
I need you, I don't need you, |
| [01:07.92] |
I need you, I don't need you |
| [01:13.52] |
and all of that jiving around. |
| [01:21.34] |
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel |
| [01:26.90] |
you were famous, your heart was a legend. |
| [01:32.65] |
You told me again you preferred handsome men |
| [01:37.46] |
but for me you would make an exception. |
| [01:42.85] |
And clenching your fist for the ones like us |
| [01:47.64] |
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, |
| [01:53.53] |
you fixed yourself, you said, |
| [01:56.97] |
"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music." |
| [02:03.80] |
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, |
| [02:09.53] |
you just turned your back on the crowd, |
| [02:14.83] |
you got away, I never once heard you say, |
| [02:19.74] |
I need you, I don't need you, |
| [02:24.96] |
I need you, I don't need you |
| [02:30.55] |
and all of that jiving around. |
| [02:38.10] |
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, |
| [02:43.37] |
I can't keep track of each fallen robin. |
| [02:49.06] |
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, |
| [02:54.11] |
that's all, I don't even think of you that often. |
