NEW YORK STATE OF MIND by Billy Joel (c) 1976 Joelsongs

Lead vocal: Claude



Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York State of mind



I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limosines
Been high in the rockies under the evergreens
I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York State of mind



It was easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take, the New York Times and the Daily News


It comes down to reality and it's find with me cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
Don't have any reasons , I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York State of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
but now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and The Daily News

It comes down to reality and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York State of mind.

CITY OF ANGELS BY William Griffin and Warren Moore (c) 1976 Grimora Music Co.

Walking your seashores and staring in to space Dreaming of your people that possess your charm and grace Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Please don’t go) (Please don’t go away) Will you fall into the sea? (Will you fall into the sea?) And forsake me. City of angels you have faults in your land People say you’ll crumble and your beauty will no longer stand Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Please don’t go)(Please don’t go away) Will you fall into the sea? (Will you fall into the sea?) And forsake me. Will you disappear from the earth just like Atlantis did? Each and every night I’ll say a prayer for heaven to forbid I could never live without you my salvation I would give to you If you stay (please stay) don’t go away (don’t go away) Your soft breeze through the palm trees whisper longing goodbyes Vibrations say you’re fading as the tears nestle in my eyes. Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels) Please don’t go away (Pl
