Brooklyn Baby

Recommended Posts

Anybody else hear "they think I'm too dumb to sing" in the second verse?

 

Edit: never mind, in context with the verse, I think it's still see

I was about to come post the exact same thing. I do think it's  "sing"...

Ok, glad I'm not the only one. I was listening to it without the lyrics and thought for sure it was sing, but then came here and doubted myself lol

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the Seventies

 

They think I'm too cool to know you

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like

Beat poetry on amphetamines

 

I say

I say

 

Well my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my head

I get down to beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rad

I can play almost anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby,

I'm a Brooklyn baby

 
They say I'm too young to love you
You say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors like they forgot to read
 

I think we're like fire and water

I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burning up, I'm cooling down

You're up, I'm down

You're blind, I see

 

But I'm free

I'm free

 

Well my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my head

I get down to beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rad

I can play almost anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby,

I'm a Brooklyn baby

 

Talking about my generation

Talking about a newer nation

And if you don't like it

You can beat it

Beat it, baby

 

You never liked the way I said it

If you don't get it then forget it

Cause I don't have to fucking explain it

 

And my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my head

I get high on hydroponic weed

And my jazz collection's rad

I get down to beat poetry

I'm a Brooklyn baby,

I'm a Brooklyn baby

 

???

 

Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me

Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby,

I'm a Brooklyn baby

For an old fart like me who listens to classic rock, it's obvious to the point of being almost not worth mentioning, but for those of you who are younger (basically everyone), "I'm talking 'bout my generation" is a reference to this song by The Who:

 

Also, I love the line "I get high on hydroponic weed". Too bad it comes directly after "I've got feathers in my hair." (Why not go with "flowers"?)

Another "Methamphetamines" reference

What is a maid? Ice and desire."

So I just thought about how she wrote a couple of songs as a fuck you song, and how she could have this for the person who originally stole the songs from her hard-drive and e-mail or whatever. And then I changed these lyrics in my head and since then, they are just stuck in my head :eek:
