Coney Island Baby - Joseph Arthur
Written by:Lou Reed
You know man when I was a
Young man in high school
He believed in it now I wanna play
Football for the coach
And all those older guys who said
He was mean and cruel but you know
I wanna play football for the coach
He said I was too little wait until
I played line back
And so I said I'm playing right in
And I wanna play football for the coach
'Cause you know someday man
You gotta stand up straight
Unless you're gonna fall then you're gonna die
When the straight have a news
Standing right for me all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
And I wanna play football for the coach
When you're all alone and lonely
In your midnight hours
And you find that your soul has been up for sale
And you begin to think about all
The things that you've done
And you begin hate just about everything
But remember the prince who lived on the hill
Who loved you even knew she you were as wrong
And right now she just might
Come shining through in the
Glory of love the glory of love
The glory of love
Just mat come true
Now your two bit friends have
Gone and ripped you off
Been talking behind your back saying man
You ain't never gonna be no human being
And he start thinking again
But all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it does
And all the different things
That made every different scene
But remember the city is a funny place
Something like a circus of a soul
And just remember different
People have peculiar taste
In the glory of love the glory of love
The glory of love
Might see you through
The glory of love the glory of love
The glory of love the glory of love
The glory of love the glory of love
I'm a Coney Island baby
I'm a Coney Island baby
I'm a Coney Island baby
I'm a Coney Island baby
