Oh NY man
Better than the other man
Oh, NY man
You’re the only thing I understand
Since I left the neighborhood
My spirits gone and I’m not feeling so good
And everything you said would happen all came true
They do things really different here
They don’t do like you do
Oh NY man
I hear the subway see us walking hand in hand
On autumn afternoons
Smoking on fire escapes through summer moons
Since I left the neighborhood
My song is sad and I’m not feeling so good
I called you from the airport just to say hello
I wanted you to stop me
Not to let me go
I liked the me that I was when I was with you
Oh NY man
I left rich but I’m back cap-in-hand
Oh, what a fall its true I’ve made a mess of it all
Since I left the neighborhood
My spirits gone and I’m not feeling so good

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
