Nilsson, Harry - Fairfax Rag Lyrics
Do you have to look away when you pass by the diner
Where the squad car stops for coffee?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here?
And don't you feel kinda funny when a man in a suit says
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here?
Take a walk down any street that you choose
Yeah and you'll wind up with the Fairfax Street
Mid morning paranoia blues.
Do you have to look away when you pass by the diner
Where the squad car stops for coffee?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here?
Plymouth pulls you over just to say: 'Hi'?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here?
And do you fumble in your wallet while you're looking for your license
And he tells you not to talk with your mouth full?
Don't you wish that you were any place else
Don't you wish that you were any place else
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here?

Nilsson, Harry Fairfax Rag Comments
Harry. . . . . look not too close at his face. . . . . and see the sadness in his eyes. A soul tortured by life and finally couldn't take it any more. he was such a geat and gifted man, but a frightened child deep inside
Fuck All the sweat SOB
Pure genius.
thanks for this one too! you can't listen and not chuckle at the memories of what he writes......
Harry could write in so many styles and his wonderful humor comes through!!!
Прекрасная вещь! Бриллиантик!
And now sir, I say it's time once again!
He was so good! Love his music!
Funny, I always liked Nilsson but was only exposed to the commercial hits - thanks to YouTube's huge success, it's like a time machine. Just a guess but in the late 60s, there was a deli, way down "Fairfax" Bv. (Canters?)
The Sunset Strip scene would gravitate to this deli between 2-5 am, especially if you wanted a 4 finger lid of grass. Most of the rock world showed up there on many a night. Great place to visit, if you were a 'narc'
Thanks. I needed to hear this song today.
