[00:02.510] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[00:08.940] you were talking so brave and so sweet,
[00:14.930] giving me head on the unmade bed,
[00:20.100] while the limousines wait in the street.
[00:25.860] Those were the reasons and that was New York,
[00:30.830] we were running for the money and the flesh.
[00:36.720] And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:41.630] probably still is for those of them left.
[00:47.000] Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[00:52.730] you just turned your back on the crowd,
[00:57.610] you got away, I never once heard you say,
[01:02.830] I need you, I don't need you,
[01:07.920] I need you, I don't need you
[01:13.520] and all of that jiving around.
[01:21.340] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:26.900] you were famous, your heart was a legend.
[01:32.650] You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:37.460] but for me you would make an exception.
[01:42.850] And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:47.640] who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
[01:53.530] you fixed yourself, you said,
[01:56.970] "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
[02:03.800] Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[02:09.530] you just turned your back on the crowd,
[02:14.830] you got away, I never once heard you say,
[02:19.740] I need you, I don't need you,
[02:24.960] I need you, I don't need you
[02:30.550] and all of that jiving around.
[02:38.100] I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
[02:43.370] I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
[02:49.060] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[02:54.110] that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
