sarah brightman - what more do i need (saturday night) 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 favourite colour
is grey.
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 ev’ry 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 neighbours 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?
