Back in n y c


(Genesis)

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City
So you think I'm a tough kid
Is that what you heard
Well I like to see some action
And it gets into my blood
Let me out of Pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean

You say I must be crazy
'Cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit
'Cause I know it's me that's hitting out
And I'm not full of shit
Down by my bottle
Filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where Rael has been, has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me
Held my heart, deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
Off we go, off we go, off we go

You're sitting in your comfort
You don't believe I'm real
You never buy protection
From the way that I feel

Your progressive hypocrites
Hand out their trash
It was mine in the first place
So I'll burn it to ash

And I've taken all the strongest meats
And laid them down in colored sheets
Laid them down in colored sheets

Who needs illusion
Of love and affection
When you're out walking in the streets
With your mainline connection, connection.

As I cuddle the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me.
Held my heart, deep in hair.
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape.
No time
Back in New York City.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Jeff Buckley (1967-1997) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist widely considered one of the most gifted musical talents of his generation. Born Jeffrey Scott Buckley in Anaheim, California, he spent his childhood moving between various cities across the United States, influenced by the music of his father, Tim Buckley, a folk-rock musician himself. After studying singing and guitar, Jeff moved to New York City in 1988, where he began performing in underground venues. In 1994, he released his debut album, *Grace*, a critically acclaimed work that established him as a talented artist. The album featured iconic tracks like "Hallelujah", a powerful and emotionally resonant cover of Leonard Cohen's original song, and "Lover You Should've Come Over". His music was characterized by a wide vocal range, diverse influences spanning from progressive rock to folk, and poetic and introspective lyrics. Sadly, Jeff Buckley's career was cut short in 1997 when he died in a boating accident on the Mississippi River. Despite his brief artistic life, he left a significant musical legacy, influencing generations of musicians and continuing to be celebrated as one of the greatest talents in alternative rock.
