Hi All,

Here's something new - this is called Mercer Street Diary.

Everybody’s moving this summer to a red brick building on Houston Street
Like an empty downtown cousin standing on the corner keeping the beat
No windows or window panes to be seen
Rats like cats and a couple of old village queens

That was Mercer Street in 1965
Yeah, sounds like Mercer Street in '65

Everybody’s shouting in spanish as they drill the sidewalks in the summer heat
For a couple of hundred a month was a basement space in this Soho suite
Now Fanelli tosses the drunks out every night
A bodega on Prince Street yeah that's where you go for a bite

That was Mercer Street in 1965
Yeah, sounds like Mercer Street in '65

Everybody’s painting on the sidewalk like an artist with a brush and some chalk
No galleries or café scenes to be found so you got to hang and gawk
Colors drip on the canvas hard and mean
And dusk dusk builds a halo round her Afro Sheen

That was Mercer Street in 1965
Sounds like Mercer Street in '65

Everybody’s quiet at night but the guy with no shoes in the cardboard box
And the rambling gutter talk of the junkies in the shadows on the block
Between folkies and the new real estate pawns
And all the subway girls blowing north after dawn

That was Mercer Street in 1965
Yeah, sounds like Mercer Street in '65
