Joseph Arthur - Coney Island Baby lyrics

You know man, when I was a young man in high-school He believed in it now, I wanna play football for the coach And all those older guys who said he was mean and cruel, but you know I wanna play football for the coach He said I was too little, wait until I played line back And so I said I'm playing right in I wanna play football for the coach Cause you know, someday, man, you gotta stand up straight Unless you're gonna fall, and you're gonna die When the straight is new, I have a news, standing right for me all the time So I had to play football for the coach And I wanna play football for the coach When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hours And you find that your soul has been up for sale And you begin to think about all the things that you've done And you begin to hate just about everything But remember the prince who lived on the hill Who loved you even though she knew you were as wrong And right now she just might come shining through in the Glory of love, the glory of love And all your two bit friends have gone and ripped you off Been talking behind your back saying man, You ain't never gonna be no human being Bout all those things that you've done And who it was, and what it does And all the different things that made every scene But remember the city is a funny place Something like a circus of a soul Just remember different people have peculiar taste In the glory of love, glory of love, the glory of love Might see you through Glory of love, the glory of love Glory of love, the glory of love Just might come through Glory of love, the glory of love My Coney Island Baby, I'm a Coney Island Baby
