13. City Boy - New York Times

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH56IGq_17w

Turning pages. glancing through the classified

The whole night's sleep was in my eyes

Spilling coffee on my shoes, I noticed you

Saw it all in black and white: "The Broadway Girl

Makes Good Tonight"

Then some old friend decides to phone

To ask me how I got to know


Read it in the New York Times

It was a smile I recognized

With an unfamiliar- name and another fool by your side

And it really hurt my pride

Cause it's a bitch to realize

You're only second prize, just another New York time


Sunday afternoon, and those old movies make me cry

I'II never know the reasons why

Don't know why I waste my time recalling lines

From a letter by the bed, much better left unread

But old times come on back again when you

Think you heard the last of them


I read it in the New York Times

It was a smile I recognized

With an unfamiliar name and another fool by your side

And it really hurt my pride

Cause it's a bitch realize

You're only second prize. just another New York time

Please Crawl Out Your Window

[Jade Fox]

21. Magic Town--utterly sublime.....

It's a classic as far as I'm concerned.....:)

[abq e streeter]

22. By Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who wrote a few other magical songs:

Just a few: Uptown, On Broadway,You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, Walking in the Rain, Kicks, and We Gotta Get Out of This Place....And Barry is the guy that asked the ultimate musical question that has never, to this day, been answered...Who Put the Bomp? ( although I have it on good authority that Clarence Clemons actually does know who, and may in fact have been the person himself).

[Jade Fox]

23. Those Brill Building songwriters....

had a sort of East Coast, working class sensibility that I like.

"Lydia, the Tattooed Lady"

For two bits, she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has
and on a clear day you can see... Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia.
