Lana Del Rey - Fordham Road Lyrics

Great I've found another pocket of lana songs. Here we go...

This one is very rare since it’s not only a 2005 song but it’s also an outtake from sirens album

go rams

The beiginnning...

One of her best songs. I think her genius really shines in her slower unreleased songs.

Why is this song so good?!?!?

Lana is so distinguished. One of a kind. Do magical in every sense of the word.

lana purposefully putting typos in her own lyric videos

Sounds kind of like frusciante :P

Lana is so magical I luv her deeply 🦋

This is my Christmas mood. I want to walk away and never come back

I always forget this one but it's seriously one of her best songs...

dont walk away from me Bullwinkle its. ur sunshine I'm in Carnarvon Perth western Australia Australia 6701 by the beach 0412963077 I heard I been suffering with depression

What a song writer... wish she still wrote lyrics like this

I never knew she had a song for the Bronx I live right next to it wig

<3 perfection

Is it " I like it when its me at night" or " I like it when its midnight."?

I think that "I like it when it's midnight" would make more sense as the stars come out at midnight.

30 blocks to Fordham Road
That's a bad neighborhood
Crack house on the corner
I know I shouldn't do what it is I could

The stone Mary in the garden
She let me know she watching
She said I better get walking
I better walk away

I don't know why it is that I wanna stay,
I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way,
But I'm not gonna do what I hear me say,
I'm just gonna walk,
I'm gonna walk away.

I catch a dollar in the wind and I buy a cup of coffee,
There's a place on Valentine that still charge ninety cents

I keep on walking in the daytime, and in my eyes it's always nighttime
And I like it when it's me at night
‘Cause that's when all the stars come out

I don't know why it is that I wanna stay,
I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way,
But I'm not gonna do what I hear me say,
I'm just gonna walk,
I'm gonna walk away.

it's the greatest
it's the greatest day

it's the greatest
it's the greatest day

I'm not gonna do what I hear me say,
I'm just gonna walk,
I'm gonna walk away.

Suburb kids drive down towards city hop off on fordham pick up weed and heroin from black thuhs and drive it back up. Once a week lmao.

Idc if ur traduction is imperfect, it makes it one thousand times better, congs :)

😭😭😭

big difference between grey and crack get it right

And I always keep finding more of her beautiful songs ♥

I'm just gonna walk away

I'm going to graduate my 8th grade in the same college she attended at Fordham university. it's honestly very cool to know me and my favorite artists lived and walked around the same steers in the bronx

GOD I love that Woman.

This song is so beautiful

I hate Fordham Road so much and she's right and it's still a bad neighborhood. Well Fordham as in the whole area.

She went to Fordham University. The part where she says the stone Mary is reference to where she lived her freshman year.

When your on a diet but your thinking about cookies lol

Beautiful little song about kicking dope

Fordham is a name of the University where she had studied. But Fordham Road is a metro station in NYC. I think she has a lot of memories connected with her young years, students life and her really hard past. I can just picture her standing on metro station. She's waiting, holding cheap coffee in her hand and thinking about everything she has done. She's wearing a bit too big sweater (it's light orange sweater) and jeans. I love that picture. I can make a video now.
(Sorry for my English, but it's not my native language. I know it only from school.)

Misha Smith it the time square of the bronx

Fordham rd is an actual street and essentially neighborhood. It's pretty ghetto and most Fordham U. Students probably don't chill on the side streets too much

Your English is not bad at all

Its like she's singing next to me! HEAVEN ♥

I think she's talking about drug and alcohol addiction. "what she hears she say" is to go and drink. In one interview she said that she even drinks in the "daytime" and "alone". Also her uncle taught her guitar, and she started writing songs when she was 16 and she was an alcoholic til 18.

It's crack house on the corner

this song is so meaningful <3

This sounds like something that would play at the end of a 'the walking dead" video game season

Sounds similar to "Elvis" and "Money Hunny"

Steph I
they're all off of the Pin Up Galore album. it's so good. every song. I can't find the vinyl anywhere 😿

i love this song with all my soul; such a beautiful melodie and lyrics.

Lana is the best.

Is there an album or zip file collection with these Lizzy Grant tunes somewhere? I love this style so much more than new Lana!

well u can download it straight to iTunes by mp3 youtube which is legal i think

this is so beautiful, seriously made me cry <3 love lana

the song of my love ♥

This is pure Lana. I am a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and all the music she is making now, but this is the old school Lizzy Grant that was there from the very beginning. It's so authentic and just makes me smile :) I went to Fordham as well before dropping out after a year to pursue my passion!

I think it's "crack house on the corner "

Well maybe it's like a party w alcohol bc she used to be an alcoholic and her parents sent her away for it. I think it might be that (:

Allisonom A no hun, it's a crack house with crack. she's into the whole drugs scene.

rae oneal She’s not into it, she’s just singing about a bad neighborhood near her school.

it's much more beautiful gray

her voice is so beautiful <3

A beautiful melody...

SHE WHATCHING... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Proudly living in Fordham road

eargasm....

Great tune. I'm a grad student at Fordham— great school and an interesting road no doubt. The Bronx on the whole isn't as bad as it once was though. I think it's still riding on the reputation it had in the '80s. Statistically it has a lower crime rate than San Francisco, believe it or not. Anyway, love the "I'm not gonna do what I hear me say" line. Fantastic writing on her part.

ALL OF IT was bad? Riverdale too?

Riverdale is comparatively speaking a very small section of the Bronx, and it has always been the most expensive area in the borough as far as I know—it probably wasn't affected by the "burning" Bronx so much. I wasn't alive then so I can't say for sure. Most people consider Riverdale to be separate from the Bronx, though it's technically part of it. It's very residential and upscale—super nice colonial homes with huge green lawns and riverfront views—very unlike the urban majority of the borough.

Still lot of drugs being sold out of fordham rd area

Omg if there was coffee for 90 cents😍

I thought it was "I don't know why it is that I wanna stay I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way" ?

@Emily McDonald I agree

I live by Fordham in the Bronx cuz she when to Fordham university

the lyric video and song is just beautiful waw

Ugh, this song is so pretty

This is basically one of my favorite photos of Lana though, I love this whole shoot

@dark sider and of you happen to have the name of the shoot...

i'll google it tomorrow

wait it is tomorrow

wow this comment was made 5 years ago.. i wonder if ur still active

this is great, except it's crack house on the corner not gray!

Never would I have imagined that anyone (except a rapper) would reference my old neighborhood in their music. It seems Lana wasn't content to remain within the confines of Fordham University when she attended. Then again, by the time she attended Fordham U., the surrounding neighborhood was changing, nowhere near as bad as it had been in the eighties and nineties. 

Fordham Road itself wasn't that bad (it's lots better now), but the side streets were a nightmare: Valentine (which Lana mentions), Creston, Morris, Walton, Davidson, etc. It's been a long time since I've been around that area, but I heard it's improved greatly. You could probably play this song there without getting beat up.

Patrick Chappelle do you still live in NYC?

No Pugsley's reference though

GREAT VIDEO LOVE IT !!!! :D

Can I ask what font u used for the lyrics? :D

Sorry for taking so long.... I used steelfish but if you want to used the real font Lana use on her albums you will need to download "Rainbow" font.

All of the lyric videos to this song say, "Gray house on the corner", but I think it's "Crack house on the corner" 

What album is this song from?

Gawwdddd her voice is so overpowering I'm in love ❤️

crack house* not "grey house" 
greatest *

Is it an ultraviolence's song?

No... It's just a Lizzy's DEMO ^^

Trapped in a vintage time its really beautiful.
