Alice - Mott The Hoople[00:00:00]
Now Alice needed money I put $10 on the breeze[00:00:17]
As the wind died away she sank way below her knees[00:00:21]
And as a hurricane passed by[00:00:25]
She clutched the money from the sky[00:00:27]
She must have been at least a fathom high[00:00:30]
She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street[00:00:34]
With all her golden ambitions[00:00:38]
And dead rhinestones in her feet[00:00:40]
And when a stranger said she sucked[00:00:42]
She just smiled believing luck[00:00:44]
As she climed into his truck to make a buck[00:00:46]
Oh my god she's running round the trees[00:00:51]
Said she couldn't touch them[00:00:55]
Because they're so real[00:00:57]
Alice you remind me of Manhattan[00:01:02]
The seedy and the snaz[00:01:06]
The shoeboys and the satins[00:01:07]
Like a throne made of gilt[00:01:09]
That too many johns have sat in[00:01:12]
Oh I got my eyes on you[00:01:14]
Now keep a watch on your watch[00:01:22]
And a watch on her watch[00:01:25]
'Cause if you ain't too careful[00:01:27]
He's gonna kick you in the crotch[00:01:29]
And you're out in the cold[00:01:31]
And you know that you've been rolled[00:01:33]
And the cops don't even stop and you feel old[00:01:35]
See Alice really liked you[00:01:40]
But you stayed a while too long[00:01:42]
Now she wants you to forget it[00:01:44]
And come back before too long[00:01:46]
But make it quick if you could[00:01:48]
She's gonna star in Hollywood[00:01:49]
The producer seems to think she's kinda good[00:01:52]
Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence[00:01:57]
Laughing at the lights of New York City[00:02:01]
Alice you remind of Manhattan[00:02:07]
The seedy and snaz the shoeboys and the satins[00:02:11]
Like a throne made of gilt[00:02:15]
That too many johns have sat in[00:02:17]
Oh just come over[00:02:20]
ROLL UP[00:02:59]
See Alice on the palace[00:03:00]
Where her name adorns the boards[00:03:01]
Ain't no flash in her Cannes[00:03:04]
She got the willpower of a horse[00:03:05]
And it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay[00:03:08]
Or is it really just a couple of blocks away[00:03:12]
Now I wonder if she wonders[00:03:16]
If I wonder if she wonders[00:03:18]
About the times I put her down[00:03:20]
When she seemed to be right under[00:03:22]
She told me morals are traditions[00:03:24]
Contradictions superstitions[00:03:26]
See Alice is always based on split decisions[00:03:29]
Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence[00:03:33]
And digging what I thought was New York City[00:03:37]
Oh Alice you remind me of Manhattan[00:03:43]
The seedy and snaz the shoeboys and the satins[00:03:47]
Like a throne made of gilt[00:03:51]
That too many johns have sat in[00:03:53]
Oh I like you[00:03:55]
Yeah Alice the lights were meant for you[00:03:59]
Your weaknesses successful[00:04:04]
And your selfishness the clue[00:04:05]
You gotta lose what you get[00:04:08]
And for what you get you lose[00:04:09]
Oh I know it[00:04:11]
Oh Alice don't stop and think a minute[00:04:15]
Or your brain is gonna get ya[00:04:19]
Drop your heart right in it[00:04:21]
And you're a shooting star[00:04:24]
And you'll die if you don't win it[00:04:25]
Yeah[00:04:30]
You didn't make the book[00:05:02]
