Lyrics for What A Shame About Me by Steely Dan:
| | | Artist: | Steely Dan |
| | Album: | Two Against Nature | | Track: | What A Shame About Me | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 88 | | | | Lyrics: | I was grinding through my day gig
Stackin' cutouts at the Strand
When in walks
Franny from NYU
We were quite an item back then
We talked about her films
and shows and CDs
And I don't know what else
She said yeah Hollywood's been good
to me
But tell me how about yourself
CHORUS:
I'm still working on
that novel
But I'm just about to quit
'Cause I'm worrying about the future now
Or maybe this is it
It's not all that I thought it would be
What a shame
about me
She said, talk to me, do you ever see
Anybody else from our old
crew
Bobby Dakine won the Bunsen Prize
Now he's coming out with something new
Alan owns a chain of Steamer Heavens
And Barry is the software king
And somebody told me in the early 80's
You were gonna be the Next Big Thing
CHORUS:
Well now that was just a rumor
But I guess I'm doin' fine
Three
weeks out of the rehab
Living one day at a time
Sneaking up on the new century
What a shame about me
What a shame about me
I'm thinking of a major
Jane Street sunrise
And the goddess on the fire escape was you
We both ran
out of small talk
The connection seemed to go dead
I was about to say, hey, have a
nice life
When she touched my hand and said:
You know I just had this great
idea
This could be very cool
Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel
And make
believe we're back at our old school
CHORUS:
I said babe you look delicious
And you're standing very close
But like this is Lower Broadway
And you're
talking to a ghost
Take a good look it's easy to see
What a shame about me
What a shame about me | | | |
