Hey, Wednesday. Back home tonight. I forgot how much fun New York is when
the sun goes down. Jeez. Maybe too much fun...oh and how much do I love the
wallpaper in DBGB's bathroom? I must acquire some for my home.
now know it's on Rivington), I stumbled upon a rock and roll karaoke spot on
Stanton. Needless to say, much fun was had. In honor of last night's big
fun, I give you the lyrics to Virginia Plain, by Roxy Music. An epic song,
which was interpreted last night by a geeky lad in a wig who channeled Mr.
Bryan Ferry perfectly. Oh, New York. You slay me. I love you so...here's
some lyrics to enjoy. Feel free to sing along. They're really strange but I
have always loved this jam- it's a sublime favorite and as much fun as a
night out in the city: Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time... Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain
And that's what's up this foxy Roxy Wednesday in the 212. Mwah New York. See
you later. XO
