8. To Turn You On
1 May 1982
(Ferry)
I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
It’s so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I’d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
Is it raining in New York
Down Fifth Avenue
And off Broadway after dark
Love the lights don’t you?
I could walk you through the park
If you’re feeling blue
Or whatever
Spring Summer whenever
Winter through Fall
I’d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
I would leave you as you were
If I wanted to
Then I wonder is it fair?
Now you’re on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, God help me
When things go wrong
I’d do anything to turn you
Must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong, I’d do anything to turn you on
