04 The Chelsea Hotel Oral Sex Song.mp3
Excerpt 1:
Though you may not believe it
You know what she says to me next
As I repeat it
That line about getting a blow job
That Leonard sings
She said it made her
Want to do naughty things
Right about then
I should have asked
If she knew
What the Chelsea charged
If we got a room for two
But I didn’t and I know
I’m a schmuck, don’t you doubt it
The only thing I did
Was write this stupid song about it
If I was Leonard Cohen
Or some other song writing master
I’d know to first get the oral sex
And then write the song after
Excerpt 2:
You may think it’s pathetic
That I sing this song
And that she will never know it
But think a minute about what that means
And you’ll realise it’s actually a wonderful thing
That all around the world
There maybe folks singing tunes
For the love of others folks
They barely knew
And it puts a smile on my face
Yes, it do
And let me tell you
You ought to be smillin too
‘Cos the next time you feeling
Kinda lonesome and blue
Just think that someone somewhere
Might be singin about you
And I love the fact that he released a version that has him gulping part way through a line.
