[00:01.65]Title: What More Do I Need?
[00:02.69]
[00:07.71]Once I hated this city,
[00:10.67]Now it can t get me down.
[00:14.08]Slushy, humid and gritty,
[00:17.23]What a pretty town.
[00:21.49]What, thought I, could be duller,
[00:24.75]More depressing, less gay.
[00:28.25]Now my favourite colour
[00:31.51]Is grey.
[00:34.27]
[00:34.87]A wall of rain as it turns to sleet,
[00:38.17]The lack of sun on a one-way street,
[00:41.43]I love the grime all the time.
[00:44.79]And what more do I need?
[00:47.64]My window pane has a lovely view:
[00:51.26]An inch of sky and a fly or two.
[00:54.21]Why, I can see half a tree.
[00:57.42]And what more do I need?
[01:00.82]
[01:01.32]The dusk is thick and it s galling;
[01:04.07]It simply can t be excused.
[01:06.69]In winter even the falling snow looks
[01:10.29]Used.
[01:11.74]My window pane may not give much light,
[01:14.94]But I see you, so the view is bright.
[01:17.81]If I can love you, I ll pay the dirt no heed!
[01:24.07]With your love, what more do I need?
[01:29.48]
[01:30.43]Someone shouting for quiet,
[01:33.13]Someone starting a brawl,
[01:35.99]Down the block there s a riot,
[01:38.49]And I ll buy it all!
[01:41.90]Listen, now I m ecstatic,
[01:44.41]Hold me close and be still.
[01:47.47]Hear the lovely pneumatic
[01:50.07]Drill!
[01:51.19]
[01:52.32]A subway train thunders through the Bronx,
[01:55.12]A taxi horn on the corner honks.
[01:57.93]But I adore ev ry roar.
[02:01.14]And what more do I need?
[02:03.69]I hear a crane making street repairs,
[02:06.80]A two-ton child running wild upstairs.
[02:09.61]Steam pipes bang,sirens clang,
[02:12.61]And what more do I need?
[02:15.96]
[02:16.27]The neighbours yell in the summer,
[02:18.82]The landlord yells in the fall,
[02:21.48]So loud I can t hear the plumber
[02:24.13]Pound the wall.
[02:29.65]An aeroplane roars across the bay,
[02:32.85]But I can hear you as clear as day:
[02:35.66]You said you love me
[02:37.71]Above the sound and speed.
[02:39.74]
[02:41.77]With your love,
[02:44.62]What more do I need?
