West Coast

[omgitsnathan 142]

I can see my baby swingin',

(THERE'S PARTS OF HIM) (????)

his Parliament's on fire and his hands are up.

On the balcony and I’m singin',

"oooh baby,

oooh baby,
I’m in love

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

when I heard her say 'golden', I was so sure that she was gonna say 'grill' after that

[Just Cherry 3,767]

You're falling hard at the show,

 

You're falling hard, I push away.

[Trash Magic 28,381]

You're all wrong! these are the official ones 

 

 

I guess I know and how to be and make it feel like i'm a child

 

Lana's best lyric 

[sukiedelrey 228]

FIRST OF ALL THE DRUMS OH MY GOD I LOVE THE INSTRUMENTAL         

 

second of all "cubano como yo" means "Cuban like me".......is this white girl claiming to be Cuban now or??? Maybe she spiritually identifies with the Cuban people idk I can't wait for all the cultural appropriation rants on tumblr 

[Rebel 3,177]

You're all wrong! these are the official ones 

 

 

Lana's best lyric 

 

Their queens and cyclones 

[Poison Ivy 1,588]

O I thought she was singing about Barrie but she's singing about a Cuban guy who smokes 

[GangstaBoy 3,930]

I love the fact that she sings in Spanish   When I heard "His Parliaments on fire" I thought oh, no, not again (like in BE and SS I'm on fire)  but then I read about the cigarette brand... that's such a great metaphor for smoking

 

loving this song

[Summersault 824]

Thank you all for figuring out the lyrics  

I still can't believe how good it is!

[Sitar 22,210]

Only real disagreement I have is the first prechorus. Mine:

 

Down on the West Coast, they got a saying
If you're not drinking, then you're not playing
But you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling
Like it all could happen, that's why I'm leaving you for the moment
You for the moment, boy blue, yeah, you

You're pulling hard, I push away
I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I wanna say, "I miss you so much."
But something keeps me really quiet
I'm alive, I'm a lush, your love, your love, your love

I can see my baby swinging, his Parliaments on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing, "Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love."
I can see my sweet boy swaying, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm swaying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love (I'm in love), I'm in love (I'm in love)

(Mic, check one, two
Get it girl)

Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
The silver starlets, their queens of Saigons
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

Down on the West Coast, they love their movies
Their Golden Gods and rock 'n' roll groupies
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

You push it hard, I pull away
I'm feeling hot and on fire
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that much higher
Te deseo cariño
Boy, it's you I desire, your love, your love, your love

I can see my baby swinging, his Parliaments on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing, "Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love."
I can see my sweet boy swaying, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm swaying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love
(x2)

 

I'm in love, I'm in love

[evilentity 13,343]

I can see my sweet boy swinging, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, my love

Both of my parents are Cuban, i am ethnically 100% Cuban. Though i was born in America, i was raised in a Cuban household, learned Spanish before English, was immersed in a specific Cuban community

Official or not, I'm still hear "Queens of Saigon" every time, and it does rhyme with "icon" better than "cyclones".

[Summersault 824]

Isn't it a sadly welknown fact that the official lyric booklets always get it wrong?

[Roll With me 5,667]

Is Lana Cuban? 

 

I knew she was speaking Spanish. I'm Spanish but I didn't understand her, LOL. It's beautiful to have a spanish quote

[MarryTheSequins 342]

I can speak Spanish you can sing for the neighbours 

[Trash Magic 28,381]

those aren't actually official... I posted them cause they are so wrong. the real lyric is queens of saigons

Yum I used to love parliaments

Lana said she picked the name "Lana Del Rey" at least in part due to the influence of some Cuban friends down in Florida, so that could be the connection.  Maybe true, maybe she made it up....

[Greenwich 1,052]

is it

"your love, your love, our love" ?

[evilentity 13,343]
