Tilnefning nr. 218 - Hörður

I´ll take New York - Tom Waits[1987]

New York tilnefning mín að þessu sinni er með einum magnaðasta tónlistarmanni samtímas sjálfum Tom Waits. Lagið I´ll take New york kom út á meistaraverkinu Franks Wild Years árið 1987. Þegar ég heyrði þetta lag fyrst hló ég nú bara. Held að kappinn hafi nú aldrei sungið eins og hann gerir í þessu lagi.

TOM WAITS - ILL TAKE NEW YORK (eins og það hljómar á plötunni)

I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride this dream
to the end of the line
I'm goin places
I'll take a ride
Up to the Riverside
I'll take NY
I'll let it happen
I'll pop the cork
tear off the wrappin'
I'll make a splash on the Hudson
that's how I will arrive
Hey, do you have two tens for a five?
Roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
break into the best
champagne when I land
Beat the parade drum
hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars
But I'll take NY
I'll make it happen
Blow out the candlels
tear off the wrappin'
And I know someday
they'll have to name a street after me
right next door to old Franklin D
