New York - Lyrics - Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the mid 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period , they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir.

Oh here I am after all these years In a little hole in New York City It's a little room up there To cover me up by this snow as it falls outside Out to all sweets of the pavement city Will I ever feel the cold miles and miles away from home I hope to get to sleep, stayed up through the night After seeing half of the broadway movie I got up there everyday, a *** of *** And haven't found a snow on Forty Second street See the hough pretending how they want you Still I never paid for it miles and miles away from home Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was, it was a real and a lie Could it ever break you Could it ever make you in New York What's the time, as I think of her Does it make a difference on the other side She may well be sleeping now So cover me up with the dreams we share If we could sleep tonight In this heated carpet magic city Could she ever hear me now, calling out Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was, it was a real and a lie Could it ever break you Could it ever make you in New York Away from home
