One kid from Brooklyn
The other from Queens
Met on a crosstown train
They cut from class, and they both agreed
A bottle down at Coney's all they need
A handful of kicks they stashed under their belts
But Queens stepped on Brooklyn's time
Now a new gang's there with icy stares
The stranger said hello and that's goodbye
He's got more faces than the cards you drew
You can't say spit, but you know it's true
When it all comes down, and the deal is through
The stranger made a buyer of me and you
She smoked the filters, and he smoked 'em straight
On gin and jazz they agreed
A pack of nights, went spinnin' round
In no time they were shacking up midtown
A vow it would seem, to fill out that dream
But life ain't what you think
Cause where once stood two, there now stand three
The stranger now divides their company
Mr. Down On His Luck
Living shopping cart dreams
He works the end of my street
With gushing words and daily dimes
I buy myself a little peace of mind
The workday is long
And when night draws her shadow
I get tired and so beat
I passed right by the man in need
The stranger led me faster up the street
I thought I was in a different place
The stranger just looked me dead in the face
I bought his wares in stead of grace
bought a bill of sale instead of grace
He's got more faces than the cards you drew
You can't say spit, you know it's true
When it all comes down, and the deal is through
The stranger, he made a buyer of me and you
Royal Crown Revue is an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. Although often associated with the Swing Revival movement, their musical style transcends genres, blending influences of rockabilly, punk, jazz, blues and soul. Among their most representative songs are "Solitary Man" (a cover of Neil Diamond), "The Contender" and "Walking Like Brando". The band has achieved great success on the Vans Warped Tour, sharing the stage with artists like the B-52's and the Pretenders. They have also participated in major American jazz festivals. In 2010 they even recorded a special episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", with Gene Simmons taking the reins of the band. Royal Crown Revue was founded by Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame, passionate about roots music. Initially, the lineup included brothers Mark and Adam Stern, coming from the punk band Youth Brigade. After several tours with Youth Brigade, the Sterns left the band in the mid-90s. Today Royal Crown Revue is led by Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame (tenor saxophone, arranger and composer), Scott Steen (trumpet) and Daniel Glass (drums). The band continues to attract large crowds in Australia, Europe and the United States.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
