Alice - Mott The Hoople[00:00:00]
Now Alice needed money[00:00:16]
I put 10 dollars on the breeze[00:00:18]
As the wind died away[00:00:20]
She sank way below her knees[00:00:22]
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[00:00:29]
She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street[00:00:33]
With all her golden ambitions[00:00:37]
And dead rhinestones in her feet[00:00:40]
Wnd when a stranger said she sucked[00:00:42]
She just smiled believing luck[00:00:44]
Ws she climed into his truck to make a buck[00:00:46]
Oh my god she's running round the trees[00:00:50]
Said she couldn't touch them[00:00:55]
Because they're so real[00:00:57]
Alice you remind me of Manhattan[00:01:01]
The seedy and the snaz[00:01:05]
The shoeboys and the satins[00:01:07]
Like a throne made of gilt[00:01:09]
That too many johns have sat in[00:01:11]
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[00:01:24]
'Cause if you ain't too careful[00:01:26]
He's gonna kick you in the crotch[00:01:28]
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[00:01:39]
But you stayed a while too long[00:01:41]
Now she wants you to forget it[00:01:43]
And come back before too long[00:01:45]
But make it quick if you could[00:01:47]
She's gonna star in Hollywood[00:01:49]
The producer seems to think[00:01:51]
She's kinda good[00:01:54]
Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence[00:01:56]
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[00:02:16]
Oh just come over[00:02:19]
Roll up[00:02:58]
See Alice on the palace[00:02:59]
Where her name adorns the boards[00:03:01]
Ain't no flash in her Cannes[00:03:03]
She got the willpower of a horse[00:03:05]
And it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay[00:03:07]
Or is it really just a couple of blocks away[00:03:11]
Now I wonder if she wonders[00:03:15]
If I wonder if she wonders[00:03:17]
About the times I put her down[00:03:19]
When she seemed to be right under [00:03:21]
She told me morals are traditions[00:03:24]
Contradictions superstitions[00:03:26]
See Alice is always based on split decisions[00:03:28]
Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence[00:03:32]
And digging what I thought was New York City[00:03:36]
Oh Alice you remind me of Manhattan[00:03:42]
The seedy and snaz the shoeboys and the satins[00:03:46]
Like a throne made of gilt[00:03:50]
That too many johns have sat in[00:03:52]
Oh I like you[00:03:55]
Yeah Alice the lights were meant for you[00:03:58]
Your weaknesses successful[00:04:03]
And your selfishness the clue[00:04:05]
You gotta lose what you get[00:04:07]
And for what you get you lose[00:04:08]
Oh I know it[00:04:10]
Oh Alice don't stop and think a minute[00:04:14]
Or your brain is gonna get ya[00:04:18]
Drop your heart right in it[00:04:20]
And you're a shooting star[00:04:23]
And you'll die if you don't win it[00:04:24]
Yeah[00:04:29]
You didn't make the book[00:04:31]
You didn't make the book[00:04:46]
You didn't make the book[00:05:02]
