I’ve been listening to Suzanne Vega for ages and she’s finally released a new album recently called ‘Beauty & Crime’ which is pretty good. Even better, it was available on iTunes Plus (high bit-rate and no DRM!). Probably the best track on it is ‘New York Is A Woman’. I tried to find correct lyrics for it but couldn’t find any one site that had the complete and correct lyrics (some were correct but incomplete, others were complete but incorrect), so here’s my version:<\/p>\n

\nSong:<\/strong> New York Is A Woman
\nAlbum:<\/strong> Beauty & Crime<\/p>\n
\nWith her bangles and her spangles and her stars
\nYou were impressed with the city so undressed
\nYou had to go out cruising all the bars<\/p>\n
\nSuburban boy here for your first time
\nFrom the 27th floor above the midtown roar
\nYou were startled by her beauty and her crime<\/p>\n
\nEvery dame you’ve ever known on late night TV
\nIn her steam and steel is the passion you feel endlessly<\/p>\n
\nAnd to her, you’re just another guy. <\/p>\n
\nSmoke and ash still rising to the sky
\nShe’s happy that you’re here but when you disappear
\nShe won’t know that you’re gone to say goodbye<\/p>\n
\nAnd to her, you’re just another guy<\/p>\n
\nEvery dame you’ve ever known on late night TV
\nIn her steam and steel is the passion you feel desperately<\/p>\n
\nAnd to her, you’re just another guy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
