lyrics

Jane walks back and forth from all the biggest parts of town
She’s got a longer stride than many but she’s always looking down
because her gaze is such,
that it weighs too much
on the passers by

She like’s em tall and matte, with at least half a brain
and her barren chat keeps them coming back again
but her long stride
and her leopard hide
is all i ever see

There she goes in her trade mark clothes
away again on her private plane
baby stay with me put on those dungarees
and if you’re going out to smoke save one for me
my big town girl
oh my big town girl

she’s forever in a rush between no and maybe
one time i think i tried it on but you know she’s a lady
oh she’s got her way
and thinks I’m ok
to be her pal

You know I’ve never had the time to wait around for a dame
but if i knew that we could make it I’d wait around for jane
could i suit her better
than that dark blue sweater?
probably not

But here she goes in her trademark clothes
away again on her private plane
baby stay with me put on those dungarees
and if you’re going out to smoke save one for me

bright lights, big city
i’ve got the top down
so do your hair up pretty babe
Big Town Girl (cont.)
desert palms and the silver screen
i’ve got a valet ticket so wont you ride with me?
and if it’s all the same babe lets get outta the game
give me half a chance because your due for some romancing neath the

bright lights, big city
i’ve got the top down
so do your hair up pretty babe

bright lights, big city
i’ve got the top down
so do your hair up pretty babe

my big town girl, oh my big town girl

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
