You arrived on the scene, like some Hollywood dream,
But a year with band, and you don’t look so sweet
They loved you in Paris yeah, they bust you in Rome
By the time you get out, you can never go home
Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards
In your Alfa Romeo
Oh you indefensible and cruel, and the jealousy
Unimaginably cool
If they left you alone, then they wouldn’t get harmed
But they can’t keep away, for that innocent charm
She begged you to stay clean, yeah, you tried to be strong
But the days the road, are so hungry and long
You were invariably stoned, by the early show
Did you think they never knew?
But you gave your body and your soul, every time you played
So I guess they let it go
Do the lines on you face betray your disgrace?
30 years on the scene, is way over the mean
I heard you in Tokyo, the very last time
Never sounded so sad, never sounded so fine
Oh you, unimaginably cool, on the boulevards
In your Alfa Romeo
Oh you indefensible and cruel, but they forgave you
Unimaginably cool
This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
