Central Park N' West Lyrics - Ian Hunter

(Ian Hunter) 

The Gulf and Western Garbage 

Just ain't the prettiest smell 

When you're sleeping on the 4th floor up 

It's like a living hell 

New York's finest rounding up the bums 

The firemen get no rest, 

and ambulances signal death, on Central Park 'n' West. 

Now there ain't no sheets upon my bed, 

just a mattress and some wine. 

The rain is pouring through the night 

and I'm glad my life is mine. 

When Frank Carillo plays guitar 

trying to get it off his chest. 

He gets the words he needs tonight 

on Central Park 'n' West.

And I think, I think, I think, I think, I think it's the best, 

when I'm locked in the middle of New York city on Central Park 'n' West 

and I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a mess, 

but you've got to be crazy to live in the city, and New York city's the best. 

And we all want just someone just like me 

in the city we call home. 

She leaves me sometimes when I write, 

'cause I write better on my own. 

Bag ladies take my dollars) 

put my conscience to the test. 

But waitresses give me coffee free 

on Central Park 'n' West.

don't sing them quiet, sing them loud. 

For you sang with the best of them 

but now you're just a guest. 

I tell you we'll get a hotel room 

on Central Park 'n' West. 

'Cause I think, I think, I think, I think, I think it's the best, 

when I'm locked in the middle of New York city on Central Park 'n' West 

and I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a mess, 

but you've got to be crazy to live in the city, and New York city's the best. 

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, oh yeah.

but you've got to be crazy to live in the city, and New York city's the best.
