Albert Hammond - Mary Hot Lips Arizona Lyrics






You came into town with your truck and your wardrobe
Your turquoise, your pills and the crew
Your cowboys, your playboys, the studs and the gay boys
Your gals and your hairdresser, too

And you rented a small apartment, and everyone settled in
Midst the pillows, the beads and the stereo leads and the ups and the downs in the gin

Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie
Still shine on your high stepping shoes
But those were the days, Mary, those were the days
When you side stepped the Hollywood blues

When the money ran low all your friends found excuses
The family soon fell apart
And you learned there's a limit to what you can do
When your purse ain't as big as your heart

But still you're blasting off somewhere on something with somebody new
And nobody knows what he does, where he comes from, nobody, least of all you

Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie
Still shine on your high stepping shoes
But those were the days, Mary, those were the days
When you side stepped the Hollywood blues

  1. a.... ....

    Muy bonita canción del 74...siendo diferente veo similitudes con "World of love" del 80...Quisiera preguntar por si alguien sabe, Albert sacó en un disco LP "Canta sus grandes éxitos en español e inglés" una versión en español de Down By the river, "Cerca del rio", con letra que habla de un idilio, etc...posteriormente en el CD recopilatorio que sacó Rama Lama, aparece otra versión española de Cerca del Río cuya letra es una apologia contra la contaminación (lo cual es el tema original en inglés) y cuya música es la original de la versión primera que sacó en inglés en su primer Lp en solitario. Tengo toda su discografía, pero esta última versión de Cerca del Río en la recopilación de Rama Lama, no aparece en ninguno de los discos originales que yo sepa. ¿Alguien sabe decirme algo?
