The New Village - Sociedade Filarmónica Senhor dos Aflitos do Soutocico & Luis Salgado

When a new life turns towards you And the night becomes a bay We shall remain forever Everyone who meets his way Oh, our love is like the flowers The rain and the sea and the hours Oh, our love is like the flowers The rain and the sea and the hours When the rain falls to the sea They'll be waiting for you and for me And the sky reflects our image Trying to sleep right through our lives Oh, our love is like the earth The sun and the trees and the birth Oh, our love is like the earth The sun and the trees and the birth I am still here two days later Same place, same time And I'm stuck here two years too long Same place, the wrong time Oh, our love is like the flowers The rain and the sea and the hours Oh, our love is like the flowers The sun and the sea and the hours Their love died three years ago

Standing on the corner, just me and yoko ono, We was waiting for jerry to land. Up come a man with a guitar in his hand, Singing, have a marijuana, if you can. His name was david peel and we found that he was real, He sang, the pope smokes dope evryday. Up come a policeman, shoved us of the street, Singing, power to the people today. New york city! New york city! New york city! Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york? Hey! hey! Well, down to maxs, kansas city, got down the nitty gritty With the elephants memory band. Laid something down as the news spread around About the plastic ono elephants memory band. Well, we played some funky boogie, and laid some tutti fritti, Singing, long tall sallys a man. Up come a preacher man, tryin to be a teacher, Singing, gods a red herring in drag! New york city! New york city! New york city! Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york? Ha! ha! Hey! hey! hey! hey! Hey! Oh yeah! Hey! new york city! Alright, new york city! New york city! Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york? Hey! hey! Well, we did the staten island ferry, making movies for the telly, Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom. Tried to shake our image, just a-cycling through the village, But we found that we had left it back in london. Well, nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us, We decided to make it our home. If the man wants to shove us out, we gonna jump and shout, The statue of liberty said, come! New york city! New york city! New york city! Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york? Hey! hey! Oh, new york! Uh, uh, uh. Well, new york, yeh, Alright! Oh, new york city! Back in new york city! Yeah, new york city! Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york? Ass city!
