| “this is a love song…its called New York City Cops!” -Jules Julian says, that in that fun intro, they were ripping off Aerosmith. They said they were all drunk and mucking around in the studio with different things to start it off with like a “lay-deeees and gennlemen, Albert Hammond Junior” but went with the aerosmith piss taking. Good choice. i love the feedback and drum start and then it just puts the pedal to the metal..its so mood setting or some crazyshit... Also its not primarily about cops….that just sounded better than “New York City girls” and “New York City cocks”. According to Julian on triple J’s live at the wireless “this is a love song”…so I doubt its about cops…. This is the song they had to take off the US LP, due to september 11, but the day they took it off, they apparently played it at a gig in Canda coz they like the song, god dammit. Slap me if i'm being dense not to have known this before, but i have now confirmed that it is Nick doing the solo. I taped the top of the pops set on rage last night, and my judgement of it being a Nick solo was proved to be quite correct. That whole descending, apeshit scale shit, that is so very Nick. I love that solo, its…like really intense cheese on toast…haha well that description totally depreciates its, but it like melts in to hard grittiness forming this delicious melody of good guitar noise and crispy drum beats and tastey basslines...mmm....i like the sniffly end too.... Its so very rock so very punk so very strokes and i love it...i even named this site after it... New York City Cops Oh! Haha I meant - Ah! No, I didn't mean that at all oooOOOooo Here in the streets of American nights Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules, and I want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was fuckin' strange Nina's in the bedroom She says, "Time to go now" But leavin' it ain't easy I've got to let go Oh, I've got to let go And the hours they went to slow I said every night She just can't stop sayin': "New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart" Just kill me now 'cause I'll let you down I swear one day we're gonna leave this town "Stop" Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks Soft time in your prime See me, I like the summertime But...hey Nina's in the bedroom She says, "Time to go now" But leaving it ain't easy Oh, I've got to let go I've got to let go Oh, trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter,: "I've got to come clean The authorities, they've seen Darling, I'm somewhere in between" I said every night She just can't stop sayin': "New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart" |
