New York, I Love You But You're Bringing... Lyrics
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down New York, I Love You But you're bringing me down Like a rat in a cage Pulling minimum wage New York, I Love You But you're bringing me down New York, you're safer And you're wasting my time Our records all show You are filthy but fine But they shuttered your stores When you opened the doors To the cops who were bored Once they'd run out of crime New York, you're perfect Don't please don't change a thing Your mild billionaire mayor's Now convinced he's a king So the boring collect I mean all disrespect In the neighborhood bars I'd once dreamt I would drink New York, I Love You But you're freaking me out There's a ton of the twist But we're fresh out of shout Like a death in the hall That you hear through your wall New York, I Love You But you're freaking me out New York, I Love You But you're bringing me down New York, I Love You But you're bringing me down Like a death of the heart Jesus, where do I start? But you're still the one pool Where I'd happily drown And oh.. Take me off your mailing list For kids that think it still exists Yes, for those who think it still exists Maybe I'm wrong And maybe you're right Maybe I'm wrong And myabe you're right Maybe you're right Maybe I'm wrong And just maybe you're right And Oh.. Maybe mother told you true And they're always be something there for you And you'll never be alone But maybe she's wrong And maybe I'm right And just maybe she's wrong Maybe she's wrong And maybe I'm right And if so, is there?

one thing, I think the last lyrics are "maybe mother told you true / and there'll always be somebody there for you / and you'll never be alone / .... / maybe she's wrong, and maybe I'm right / and if so, heres this song
I could be wrong though.

Simply, Murphy is disappointed with New York.
"Like a rat in a cage\Pulling minimum wage" The city sucks, but there's nothing else to turn to. He can't get out because it's all he knows.
"Our records all show\You are filthy but fine" This is either a reference to the dirtiness of the city, or the oppression of the police....
"But they shuttered your stores\When you opened the doors\To the cops who were bored\Once they'd run out of crime" The greatness (stores, as in like treasure) was ruined by oppressive police. Maybe he liked the adventure of a not-so-safe city, as opposed to a very tight law presence.
"Your mild billionaire mayor's\Now convinced he's a king\So the boring collect\I mean all disrespect" Obviously a reference to Guiliani. He's a dunce, but he's getting rich and powerful, so screw him.
"There's a ton of the twist\But we're fresh out of shout" Another reference to his love-hate with the city. New York has some great things, but lacks other important ones too.
"Like a death in the hall\That you hear through your wall" The bad things about New York aren't plainly visible, but he knows they're there.
"But you're still the one pool\Where I'd happily drown" Again, it's the best he's got and all he knows.
"And oh.. Take me off your mailing list\For kids that think it still exists\Yes, for those who think it still exists" I think he wants to quit hearing about how good New York is. He sees the rotten parts of the city and also realizes that practically everybody else doesn't. They eat up the "propaganda" with a spoon.
"Maybe I'm wrong\And maybe you're right" He's still undecided about the city.
"Maybe mother told you true\And they're always be something there for you\And you'll never be alone" Still hearing about why the city is good (i.e. more indecisiveness)
"Maybe she's wrong\And maybe I'm right\And if so, is there?" He flirts with believing that new york truly does suck, and wants proof of why new york is good because he just can't see it.

i mean like, there's things in new york that have brought him down and changed his life forever, possibly for the worst. he loves new york as a city, since it has so much, but hates some of the personal aspects associated with it

But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Oh please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids who think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe alright
Maybe I'm wrong
And myabe alright
Maybe alright
Maybe I'm wrong
And just maybe alright
And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And there'll always be somebody there
You'll never ever be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And if so, is there a soul?
that "alright", might in fact be "you,re right", but this "alright" just so perfectly fits in to the overall meaning of the song. I mean that very "Alright", by means of which we always try to get rid of the feeling of being told off

But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
I love the line, we have tons of twist but we've run out of shout. I take that as we have the sizzle still but the heart and soul have gone
