Chelsea Hotel #2 Songtext
von The Shivers

I remember you were in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street

Those were the reasons, that was New York
We were runnin′ for the money and the flesh
And that was called Love for the Workers in song
Still is for those of them left

Oh, but she went away, didn't you, babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You went away, I never once heard you say
I need you
I don′t need you
I need you
I don't need you
And all of that jivin' around


I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
Told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me, you would make an exception

And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind
We are ugly, but we have the music"

And then you got away, didn′t you, babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You went away, I never once heard you say
I need you
I don′t need you
I need you
I don't need you
And all of that jivin′ around

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can′t keep track of each fallen rock
I remember you were in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don′t think of you that often


Oh, when you got away, didn't you, babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You went away, I'd like to once hear you say
I need you
′Cause I need you
I need you
Oh, I need you
And all of that jivin′ around
