andrea burns – what more do i need? lyrics
once i hated this city
now it can’t get me down
slushy, humid and gritty
what a pretty town
what thought i could be duller
more depressing, less gay
now my favorite color
is gray
a wall of rain as it turns to sleet
the lack of sun on a one-way street
i love the grime all the time
and what more do i need?
my window pane has a lovely view
an inch of sky and a fly or two
why i can see half a tree
and what more do i need?
the dusk is thick and it’s galling
it simply can’t be excused
in winter even the falling snow looks
used
my window pane may not give much light
but i see you so the view is bright
if i can love you i’ll pay the dirt no heed
with your love what more do i need?
someone shouting for quiet
someone starting a brawl
down the block there’s a riot
and i’ll buy it all
listen, now i’m ecstatic
hold me close and be still
hear the lovely pneumatic
drill
a subway train thunders through the bronx
a taxi h-rn on the corner honks
but i adore every roar
and what more do i need?
i hear a crane making street repairs
a two ton child running wild upstairs
steam pipes bang, sirens clang
and what more do i need?
the neighbors yell in the summer
the landlord yells in the fall
so loud i can’t hear the plumber
pound the wall
an aeroplane roars across the bay
but i can hear you as clear as day
you said you love me above the sound and speed
with your love what more do i need?
