Generate meaning
1
walkin' up 23rd street
2
i was tired and alone
3
it was late my housemate
4
would be asleep when i got home
5
the sign ahead glowin' red
6
said the chelsea hotel
7
where nancy and syd vicious
8
and my friend dave once dwelled
9
the street was black under my feet
10
wich continued their walkin'
11
though i was vaguely interested
12
in the folks behind me talkin'
13
two guys maybe gay
14
wearin' Reber type suits
15
and a girl wearin' glasses
16
who looked kinda cute
17
her hair was short and curly
18
she had a tattoo on her back
19
wich i could see cos her red shirt
20
was sleeveless with straps
21
but i only saw this later
22
ot in my first glance
23
but i could hear her talkin behind me
24
and as if by chance
25
she was tryin' to describe
26
a song i knew well
27
the leonard cohen song
28
about the chelsea hotel
29
and i smiled a smile to myself
30
when she said
31
that was the song where he talked about
32
someone giving him head
33
on the bed was unmade
34
and how the song was outrageous
35
and that's when i got
36
uncaracteristicly courageous
37
i could left the three of them laughin'
38
and just gone on home
39
but i turned and i faced her
40
and i said leonard cohen?
41
.....just like that....
42
she was shocked and surprised
43
but she looked very happy
44
that she now had a witness
45
to back up her story
46
she looked at me
47
with her spectacled eyes
48
and said "see i told u"
49
to the two others guys
50
my tale might have ending right there and then
51
but we started talkin' about leornard cohen
52
how his lyrics were cool
53
and how he sang so sincere
54
it must have been true
55
and it happened right here
56
usually women right of the bat
57
don't find me that great
58
but there we were laughin', scrollin'
59
like we could really releate
60
although we didn't mention the head line
61
it was alluded
62
and her conversation was better
63
cos her friends were not included
64
the guys were more into each other
65
at least that's how it seemed to me
66
i heard the faint knocking of opportunity
67
although it's easy for me now
68
upon my looking back
69
to think of all the things
70
i could have said
71
to make me the mac
72
just keep the sad truth in mind
73
as i tell this to you
74
that we really only talked
75
for a minute or two
76
and i never got her name
77
and she never got mine
78
but in this couple short minutes
79
we had a pretty good time
80
and on top of that
81
tho u may not believe it
82
you know what she says to me next
83
as i repeat it
84
that line about gettin a blow job
85
that leonard sings
86
she said it made her
87
want to do naughty things
88
right about then
89
i should have asked
90
if she knew
91
what the chelsea charged
92
if we got a room for two
93
but i didn't and i know
94
i'm a schmuck, don't you doubt it
95
the only thing i did
96
was write this stupid song about it
97
if i was leonard cohen
98
or some others song writing master
99
i 'd know to first get the oral sex
100
and then write the song after
101
you can practise writing songs
102
about romance every day
103
but if you haven't loved
104
then you'll have nothing to say
105
we could have given each other head
106
on leonard same unmade bed
107
but i was too shy to suggest it
108
and so instead
109
when the three of them stopped
110
to look through a pub window
111
i said good night
112
tho i had not quite meant to
113
and waved as we walked tho
114
i would not forget her
115
especially when she mysteriously said
116
see you later
117
ow every time i'm walking
118
i hope that we'd meet
119
and on purpose
120
i always go up 23rd street
121
where the sign glowin' red
122
says the chelsea hotel
123
where nancy and syd vicious
124
and my friend dave's once dwelled
125
life doesn't work out
126
the way it does in old songs
127
that's why we sing new ones
128
to say what really goes on
129
so if i ever see her again
130
and we pick up
131
right we were ended
132
maybe i'll play her this song
133
maybe she won't get too offended
134
and listen i tell u why
135
there's more than this situation
136
than miss the eyes
137
you may think it's sad
138
you may think it's pathetic
139
but i sing this song
140
and that she will never know it
141
but think a minute 'bout what that means
142
and you'll realise it's actually a wonderful thing
143
that all around the world
144
there maybe folks singin' tunes
145
for the love of others folks
146
they barely knew
147
and it puts a smile on my face
148
yes, it do
149
and let me tell you
150
you ought to be smillin too
151
cos the next time you feelin'
152
kinda lonesome and blue
153
just think that someone somewhere
154
might be singin about you
155
who knows if i'll ever see her again
156
maybe we'll see this whole time
157
she could have been singing about me
158
probably not
159
but it could be
