[length: 03:07]
[00:03.21]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[00:09.54]You were talking so brave and so sweet
[00:15.02]Giving me head on the unmade bed
[00:20.01]While the Limousines wait in the street
[00:38.07]Those were the reason and that was New York
[00:41.76]We were running for the money and the flesh
[00:42.76]And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:44.01]Probably still is for those of them left
[00:48.78]Ah, but you got away, didn’t you, babe?
[00:53.02]You just turned your back on the crowd
[00:58.10]You got away, I never once heard you say
[01:03.04]I need you, I don’t need you, I need you, I don’t need you
[01:13.72]And all of that jiving around
[01:22.08]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:27.39]You were famous, your heart was a legend
[01:32.80]You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:37.72]But for me you would make an exception
[01:43.52]And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:47.82]Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
[01:53.51]You fixed yourself, you said, “Well never mind
[01:58.50]We are ugly but we have the music”
[02:05.46]And then you got away, didn’t you, baby?
[02:09.57]I don’t mean to suggest that I loved you the best
[02:18.15]You got away, I never once heard you say
[02:20.82]I need you, I don’t need you, I need you, I don’t need you
[02:30.87]And all of that jiving around
[02:39.91]I don’t mean to suggest that I loved you the best
[02:44.83]I can’t keep track of each fallen robin
[02:49.85]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[02:55.15]That’s all, I don’t even think of you that often
