Steely Dan - What a Shame About Me слова песни
I was grinding through my day gigStackin cutouts at the strandWhen in walks franny from nyuWe were quite an item back thenWe talked about her films and shows and cdsAnd I dont know what elseShe said, yeah, hollywoods been good to meBut tell me - how about yourselfChorus:Im still working on that novelBut Im just about to quitcause Im worrying about the future nowOr maybe this is itIts not all that I thought it would beWhat a shame about meShe said, talk to me, do you ever seeAnybody else from our old crewBobby dakine won the bunsen prizeNow hes coming out with something newAlan owns a chain of steamer heavensAnd barry is the software kingAnd somebody told me in the early 80sYou were gonna be the next big thingChorus:Well now that was just a rumorBut I guess Im doin fineThree weeks out of the rehabLiving one day at a timeSneaking up on the new centuryWhat a shame about meWhat a shame about meIm thinking of a major jane street sunriseAnd the goddess on the fire escape was youWe both ran out of small talkThe connection seemed to go deadI was about to say, hey, have a nice lifeWhen she touched my hand and said:You know I just had this great ideaThis could be very coolWhy dont we grab a cab to my hotelAnd make believe were back at our old schoolChorus:I said babe you look deliciousAnd youre standing very closeBut like this is lower broadwayAnd youre talking to a ghostTake a good look its easy to seeWhat a shame about meWhat a shame about me
