City Boy Sunset Boulevard Lyrics

Sunset Boulevard Lyrics

No... No golden mile 

Or flashing cameras, the ritzy style 

Just ...
just scrap book smiles. 

There's no need to hurry, when all she has is
time 

She, she, she, she's going home 

Between the pagodas and
always alone 





Down on Sunset Boulevard, you'd sell your
soul before your car is paid for. 

The only laughing sound you hear, from
blind men cause they hold no fear of darkness 

With every flashing theatre
light, a startled welcome through the night is glowing. 

But every
mother's son is dead, they choked upon the daily bread they prayed for. 





Friends... friends pass on by. 

She gives a performance,
they call it a lie. 

Only ... only late at night. 

She still sees
the traces of the city lights 





Sun Sun ... Sun ... Sunset
Boulevard, the devil can take her, she's been there before 

By the broken
ballistrade, an idol from another age is swaying 

Softly singing Gershwin
songs, but every other note is wrong and straining. 

And once again her
glass is dry, the bedroom mirror cannot lie forever 

For down on Sunset
Boulevard they've lived too long and laughed too hard to love her 





The telephone is ringing ... but there's no reply

A gramophone
is singing ... sweetly out of time. 

And in the hall, screaming for the
final scene ... 

Passing through their eyes, peering for the view. 

With her name in lights, The lady's news. 

And in her sleep they call
her... loving every smile 





Lining every street to see her .
. . starry eyed and wild. 

Again she wakes, screaming for the final scene.


Passing through their eyes, peering for the view. 

With her name in
lights, The lady's news.
