[00:17.410] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[00:22.610] You were talking so brave and so sweet,
[00:27.140] Giving me head on the unmade bed,
[00:32.560] While the limousines wait in the street.
[00:35.310]
[00:37.590] Those were the reasons and that was New York,
[00:41.850] We were running for the money and the flesh.
[00:45.600]
[00:47.410] And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:53.630] Probably still is for those of them left.
[00:57.740] Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[01:00.990]
[01:02.560] You just turned your back on the crowd,
[01:05.380]
[01:08.380] You got away, I never once heard you say,
[01:13.170] I need you, I don't need you,
[01:15.990]
[01:18.620] I need you, I don't need you
[01:22.650]
[01:23.640] And all of that jiving around.
[01:28.790]
[01:34.470] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:37.910]
[01:39.220] You were famous, your heart was a legend.
[01:42.780]
[01:44.970] You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:48.600]
[01:49.720] But for me you would make an exception.
[01:52.780]
[01:55.010] And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:59.130] Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
[02:03.780]
[02:05.410] You fixed yourself, you said, ＂Well never mind, "
[02:09.970]
[02:10.540] We are ugly but we have the music.＂ "
[02:14.100]
[02:18.100] And then you got away, didn't you babe...
[02:20.310]
[02:55.660] I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
[03:00.300] I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
[03:05.860] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[03:10.800] That's all, I don't even think of you that often.
[00:17.410] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
