Joseph Arthur - Coney Island Baby Lyrics
(Verse)You know man, when I was a young man in high-schoolHe believed in it now, I wanna play football for the coachAnd all those older guys who said he was mean and cruel, but you knowI wanna play football for the coachHe said I was too little, wait until I played line backAnd so I said I'm playing right inI wanna play football for the coachCause you know, someday, man, you gotta stand up straightUnless you're gonna fall, and you're gonna dieWhen the straight is new, I have a news, standing right for me all the timeSo I had to play football for the coachAnd I wanna play football for the coachWhen you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hoursAnd you find that your soul has been up for saleAnd you begin to think about all the things that you've doneAnd you begin to hate just about everythingBut remember the prince who lived on the hillWho loved you even though she knew you were as wrongAnd right now she just might come shining through in theGlory of love, the glory of loveAnd all your two bit friends have gone and ripped you offBeen talking behind your back saying man,You ain't never gonna be no human beingBout all those things that you've doneAnd who it was, and what it doesAnd all the different things that made every sceneBut remember the city is a funny placeSomething like a circus of a soulJust remember different people have peculiar tasteIn the glory of love, glory of love, the glory of loveMight see you throughGlory of love, the glory of loveGlory of love, the glory of loveJust might come throughGlory of love, the glory of loveMy Coney Island Baby, I'm a Coney Island Baby
