What More Do I Need? (From "Saturday Night") [Live]

Once I hated this city
Now it can't get me down
Slushy, humid and gritty, what a pretty town
What, thought I could be duller?
More depressing, less gay
Now my favourite colour is grey

A wall of rain as it turns to sleet
The lack of sun on a one-way street
I love the grime all the time
And what more do I need?

My window pane has a lovely view
An inch of sky and a fly or two
Why? I can see half a tree
And what more do I need?

The dust is thick and it's galling
It simply can't be excused
In winter, even the falling snow looks used

My window pane doesn't give much light
But I see you, so the view is bright
If I can love you, I'll pay the dirt no heed
With your love, what more do I need?

Someone shouting for quiet
Someone starting a brawl
Down the block there's a riot and I'll buy it all
Listen, now I'm ecstatic
Hold me close and keep still
Hear the lovely pneumatic drill

A subway train thunders through the Bronx
A taxi horn on the corner honks
But I adore every roar
And what more do I need?

I hear a crane making street repairs
A two-ton child running wild upstairs
Steam pipes bang, sirens clang
And what more do I need?

Our neighbours yell in the summer
The landlord yells in the fall
So loud I can't hear the plumber pound the wall

An aeroplane roars across the bay
But I can hear you as clear as day
You said you love me above the sound and speed
With your love, what more do I need?
