Everything But The Girl - Imagining America Lyrics
Oh, and how he loved you
Oh, and how he loved you
Oh, and you believed him
Oh, and you believed him
You said you both deserve better
Could make it a real thing
Could make it a real thing
On a clear day
You can see the sea from your place
On a fine day
You can still remember his face
He just kept right on...
Imagining America
Imagining America
And he was so handsome
He was so handsome
It was 1919
It was 1919
Sailing to New York
Sailing to New York
Just for you
Just for you
It was a clear day
Waiting from the quay, saw him
Was a fine day
Standing with the world before him
He just kept right on...
Imagining America
He just kept right on...
Imagining America
Don't he have no feelings...
always feel like mountains
and deserts and stars
Cities have been tamed
and they all know your name
They have money
and houses and cars
So I stand here
So I stand here
In his footsteps
In his footsteps
We deserve better
We deserve better
And I can make it a real thing
And I can make it a real thing
It's a clear day
It's a clear day
Only in a final embrace
Only in a final embrace
It's a fine day
It's a fine day
The world remember our face...
The world remember our face...
And I just kept right on...
Imagining America
And I just kept right on...
Imagining America
We keep on, we keep
Imagining America, America

EBTG.Always brings it home.
A criminally low number of views
wow what a fantastic song the style of theis group was spot on and what voices
For way too many decades, before I moved there, I used to dream about it while listening to this song.
I´ve planned walking around while listening to Imagining America and when that day came, I´ve crossed the Brooklin Bridge walking slowly, all the way to the ferries, into Ellis Island... as if in a trance, when Tracey whispered in my ears... "Darling, have no fear... the air is always clear, and the mountains and deserts and stars. Cities have been tamed, and they all know your name. They have money, houses and cars..."
Guided into love, I walked back to those boats as in light bright clouds, all the way to New Amsterdam and for five years never woke up from dreaming... imagining America.
he was so handsome, it was 1919, sailing to new york....just for you....
Radio Transamerica Light me trouxe aqui
"It was 1919..."
Such a great song and the vocal delivery with Ben echoing
Tracey's words is sublime! It was released only in Japan as
a promotional single only with "Language of Life" as a b-side
and tour dates for Japan printed in the sleeve. It should have
had a wider release...
CD,Blew me away.Lucky,I guess..Minefields of Miami.
i love this song so much. black girlfriend jams.
"Make it a real thing."
THE class pop act...and we could use a little more class, right about now.
