Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I’m taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I’m in a New York state of mind
I’ve seen all the movie stars In their fancy cars and their limousines Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens But I know what I’m needing And I don’t want to waste more time I’m in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality And it’s fine with me ’cause I’ve let it slide Don’t care if it’s Chinatown or on Riverside I don’t have any reasons I’ve left them all behind I’m in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality And it’s fine with me ’cause I’ve let it slide Don’t care if it’s Chinatown or on Riverside I don’t have any reasons I’ve left them all behind I’m in a New York state of mind
I’m just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line

Pour notre toute première séquence Review sur Classic 21, notre animateur de la matinale, Raphaël Scaini, nous plonge dans un clip qui l’a marqué, celui de « An Englishman In New York » de Godley & Creme, anciens membres de 10CC.
Le titre figure sur l’album Freeze Frame sorti en 1979 et sa vidéo a la particularité de présenter des mannequins « mobiles » plutôt « inquiétants »… On vous laisse découvrir les coulisses de sa réalisation en compagnie de Raphaël et Fanny Gillard ci-dessus !
I’m taking the side streets And I’m cruising down the alley ways And I’m feeling the cool breeze across my face I’m losing to find and I’m breaking to fix ‘Cause I’m not fit to go on like this
Music in my head, the rhythm keeps me fed These sounds surround me in these in high frequencies There’s no place like home there’s, no place like home Stone alone in the city of bastard roots
When I’m about to go crazy, ’cause I’m still living here I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance ‘Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world This city tells me what it’s like to live
Hey, bike messenger, « What’s your name? » Have you got the time to talk to me? Tell you what? We’ll sit on this here stoop And talk all about you, we’ll just keep sitting here Till you roll on through
When I’m about to go crazy, ’cause I’m still living here I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance ‘Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world This city tells me what it’s like to live
‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world
Serpico, he’s still around screwed up police ya might Get found, city crime’s for city cops You’ve got to know the streets you rock The subway tells the story here This is the place to disappear
‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world
‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world
‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world ‘Cause this is the state of the world
And I’ll die in my open mind I live in my open mind And I’ll die in my open mind I live in my open mind And I’ll die in my open mind I live in my open mind And I’ll die in my open mind
