Shady Lane / J Vs. S ( album , "Brighten the Corners" , 1997 )
Blind date with a chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers And the check, when it arrived, we went dutch, dutch, dutch Dutch a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash, And this emory board is giving me a rash. I'm flat out. You're so beautiful to look at when you cry. Freeze, don't move. You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life. A Shady Lane, everybody wants one. A Shady Lane, everybody needs one. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God Oh my God, oh your God, oh his God, oh her God It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God, it's everybody's God, it's everybody's God The world's collide But all that we want is a Shady Lane. Glance, don't stare. Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs. No, not me. I'm an island of such great complexity Distress surrounds In the muddy, peaceful center of this town Tell me off In the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the over-friendly concierge. A Shady Lane, everybody wants one. A Shady Lane, everybody needs one. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God Oh my God, oh your God, oh his God, oh her God It's everybody's God, it's everybody's God, it's everybody's God, it's everybody's God The world's collide But all that I want is a Shady Lane.
