Harry's House - Centerpiece Lyrics - Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting To Be Danced - Joni Mitchell

Heatwaves on the runway 

As the wheels set down 

He takes his baggage off the carousel 

He takes a taxi into town 

Yellow schools of taxi fishes 

Jonah in a ticking whale 

Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows 

Of Bloomingdale's 

Watching those high fashion girls 

Skinny black models with Raveen curls 

Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes 

Looking for the chic and the fancy 

To buy

He opens up his suitcase 

In the continental suite 

And people twenty stories down 

Colored currents in the street 

A helicopter lands on the Pan Am roof 

Like a dragonfly on a tomb 

And business men in button downs 

Press into conference rooms 

Battalions of paper-minded males 

Talking commodities and sales 

While at home their paper wives 

And paper kids 

Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid 

 

Photos 

 

Yellow checkers for the kitchen 

Climbing ivy for the bath 

She is lost in House and Gardens 

He's caught up in Chief of Staff 

He drifts off into the memory 

Of the way she looked in school 

With her body oiled and shining 

At the public swimming pool ... 

* * * 

The more I'm with you, pretty baby 

The more I feel my love increase 

I'm building all my dreams around you 

Our happiness will never cease 

'Cause nothing's any good without you 

Baby you're my centerpiece 

 

We'll find a house and garden somewhere 

Along a country road a piece 

A little cottage on the outskirts 

Where we can really find release 

'Cause nothing's any good without you 

Baby you're my centerpiece 

* * * 

...Shining hair and shining skin 

Shining as she reeled him in 

To tell him like she did today 

Just what he could do with Harry's House 

And Harry's take home pay
