[00:00.00]What a Shame About Me - Steely Dan
[00:34.58]I was grinding through my day gig
[00:39.01]Stackin' cutouts at the strand
[00:43.75]When in walks franny from nyu
[00:47.45]We were quite an item back then
[00:52.20]We talked about her films and shows and cds
[00:57.01]And I don't know what else
[01:00.19]She said yeah hollywood's been good to me
[01:04.52]But tell me - how about yourself
[01:08.43]I'm still working on that novel
[01:11.06]But I'm just about to quit
[01:13.39]'Cause I'm worrying about the future now
[01:15.63]Or maybe this is it
[01:17.08]It's not all that I thought it would be
[01:21.40]What a shame about me
[01:30.00]She said talk to me do you ever see
[01:34.20]Anybody else from our old crew
[01:38.92]Bobby dakine won the bunsen prize
[01:42.87]Now he's coming out with something new
[01:47.45]Alan owns a chain of steamer heavens
[01:51.68]And barry is the software king
[01:55.76]And somebody told me in the early 80's
[02:00.16]You were gonna be the next big thing
[02:03.78]Well now that was just a rumor
[02:06.22]But I guess I'm doin' fine
[02:08.76]Three weeks out of the rehab
[02:10.61]Living one day at a time
[02:12.42]Sneaking up on the new century
[02:16.66]What a shame about me
[02:24.17]What a shame about me
[02:28.70]I'm thinking of a major jane street sunrise
[02:34.15]And the goddess on the fire escape was you
[02:59.30]We both ran out of small talk
[03:03.36]The connection seemed to go dead
[03:07.33]I was about to say hey have a nice life
[03:12.11]When she touched my hand and said:
[03:15.33]You know I just had this great idea
[03:21.60]This could be very cool
[03:24.34]Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel
[03:28.80]And make believe we're back at our old school
[03:32.91]I said babe you look delicious
[03:35.39]And you're standing very close
[03:37.62]But like this is lower broadway
[03:39.88]And you're talking to a ghost
[03:41.53]Take a good look it's easy to see
[03:45.80]What a shame about me
[03:50.09]What a shame about me
[03:54.30]A shame
[04:02.19]A shame about me
[04:11.55]A shame
[04:19.20]A shame about me
[04:28.57]A shame
[04:36.23]A shame about me
[04:45.58]A shame
[04:53.22]A shame about me
