[00:02.69] [00:07.71]Once I hated this city, [00:10.67]Now it can t get me down. [00:14.08]Slushy, humid and gritty, [00:17.23]What a pretty town. [00:21.49]What, thought I, could be duller, [00:24.75]More depressing, less gay. [00:28.25]Now my favourite colour [00:31.51]Is grey. [00:34.27] [00:34.87]A wall of rain as it turns to sleet, [00:38.17]The lack of sun on a one-way street, [00:41.43]I love the grime all the time. [00:44.79]And what more do I need? [00:47.64]My window pane has a lovely view: [00:51.26]An inch of sky and a fly or two. [00:54.21]Why, I can see half a tree. [00:57.42]And what more do I need? [01:00.82] [01:01.32]The dusk is thick and it s galling; [01:04.07]It simply can t be excused. [01:06.69]In winter even the falling snow looks [01:10.29]Used. [01:11.74]My window pane may not give much light, [01:14.94]But I see you, so the view is bright. [01:17.81]If I can love you, I ll pay the dirt no heed! [01:24.07]With your love, what more do I need? [01:29.48] [01:30.43]Someone shouting for quiet, [01:33.13]Someone starting a brawl, [01:35.99]Down the block there s a riot, [01:38.49]And I ll buy it all! [01:41.90]Listen, now I m ecstatic, [01:44.41]Hold me close and be still. [01:47.47]Hear the lovely pneumatic [01:50.07]Drill! [01:51.19] [01:52.32]A subway train thunders through the Bronx, [01:55.12]A taxi horn on the corner honks. [01:57.93]But I adore ev ry roar. [02:01.14]And what more do I need? [02:03.69]I hear a crane making street repairs, [02:06.80]A two-ton child running wild upstairs. [02:09.61]Steam pipes bang,sirens clang, [02:12.61]And what more do I need? [02:15.96] [02:16.27]The neighbours yell in the summer, [02:18.82]The landlord yells in the fall, [02:21.48]So loud I can t hear the plumber [02:24.13]Pound the wall. [02:29.65]An aeroplane roars across the bay, [02:32.85]But I can hear you as clear as day: [02:35.66]You said you love me [02:37.71]Above the sound and speed. [02:39.74] [02:41.77]With your love, [02:44.62]What more do I need?
