  • you should have millions of followers. I love your music and have been listening to it on youtube for years now. Your voice is just wonderful.
  • I can't sing, so i learnt to play the guitar to cover for that fact. This lady could literally bang saucepans together and it would still sound amazing.
  • @Mazth
    Youtube, why did you not notify me of these new treasures?! Messy for sure, but happy to hear your voice all the same
  • @pshapiro
    This is outstanding. I loved it. Thanks!
  • I keep returning to your channel because you move me. Mere words are inadequate to describe such things.
  • @lowslowflyer77
    Messy but nice you have perfect voice , and soul for this song.

    Yet another incredibly moving performance, Lemonflower. And a good example of how "neat" does not necessarily mean "good". Not by a long shot.
  • I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jest Still, a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station Running scared Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there La-la-la-la-la-la-la Now the years are rolling by me They are rocking evenly And I am older than I once was And younger than I'll be But that's not unusual No, it isn't strange After changes upon changes We are more or less the same After changes we are More or less the same Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Then I'm laying out my winter clothes Wishing I was gone Going home Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Leading me To going home In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every glove that laid him down And cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains, he's still remains Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Thank you, good night Thank you, thanks
