Take Me To the Plaza
(Appears on Take Me to the Plaza)
(but there are lots of things in america that I like right now, I like a lot of the community feelin there is in a lot of places, but one thing I don't like is that you've got to drive to see a lot of your friends. I don't like it I don't like it. I like to walk to see my pals. You see I like .. There is something we can do about it you know, there should be a train system that goes everywhere in this country There's a San Francisco to Los Angeles one that could be there cheap compared to bailing out one airline once. The fivc times a year that we do it. No we should have a good train system around here just like Europe [...] I like to live in the middle of stuff downtown you see I've lived out in the middle of hinterland out in other parts of California it's ok I guess for some people but I want friends to practice practical jokes on me at 4 AM they can't do that if I'm down a dirt road somewhere, who wants to go out there at 4 AM? Secondly, you can see them coming and all . No a little apartment right by the square. I live in San Francisco. I like to see .. take a place by the Plaza, like those cities in Mexico, [...] they got people like street vendors hanging around [..] living there drinking cofee and smoking cigarettes, the social scene. [...] When I say take me to the plaza that's what I mean)
Take me to the Plaza
I gravitate to the people
hangin around
with their cigarettes and coffee
in their hands
at the centre of the town
take me there
I don't want ???
I don't want to read the paper to find out where to go
from the talking I'll learn all I need to know
'bought what's happenin' much later
with the band
or on the stand
take me to the plaza
la ta da ...
the stylish halls ????
to get closer to other people
when your called
in the afternoon at a table on the square
in the evening your place around the plane ???
take me there
take me to the plaza
(there on the plaza now, there's a ??? chested guy sellin' jewelry, from Ecuador or somethin' there's a guy next to him ??? he's sellin counterfiet cds, ah there's the trash fire burnin rubber tires, someone get them some wood, those rubber tires ??? they smell terrible, trash fire that's fine, but let's use wood next time ??? that rubber tire stuff has got to go)
la ta da ...
I don't watch tv
don't want to read the paper to find out where to go
from their talkin' I'll learn all I need to know
'bought what's happenin much later with the band
or on the stand
take me to the plaza
that's right
(late at night on the plaza now, it's chilly, that trash fire's comin' in handy, I like that, everyone's talkin, smokin the cigarettes, i know the cigarettes ??? but coffee can only go so far. ?????? Speedball folks, It ain't perfect, I know it's not perfect. I know there's somethin' superficial just bought hangin, abought just hangin around with any one thing. But it's people folks. I mean, I love, it ain't perfect, but it's got something)
