Carly Simon Film Noir Lyrics
(J. Webb/C.Simon)
Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train.
Put my hat on the seat,
Wipe the tears from my eyes.
I watched my life go by,
Like a movie in my brain.
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window,
And a silver screen of rain!
And the opening title scroll,
And the score comes in and under.
And I'm in the starring role,
In a world of love-struck wonder;
It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback.
And then the music,
That gorgeous music;
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.
He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard.
Just how good a liar
Can a decent man be?
I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards.
Cause he held them all
So I could never see.
Yes, he played me for a fool,
And I agreed.
And the closing credits roll,
And the waves come in like thunder.
Cause the hero's lost control,
And I made a fatal blunder.
Just another sad story;
Two star-crossed kids,
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac.
And then that music,
That mournful music.
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track.
And the long, slow dissolve,
As we fade to black.

| hmm - even though you are a team-mate, I didn't know this was your entry .. I am sorrily surprised it didn't score higher. As I posted in my comments while in voting, I gave it an 8 .. but the one thing you have is one heck of a photo to add to your portfolio! |

| Great title. They look a bit carnivalesque for the mournful sounds. A great picture. |

| OMG!!! I LOVE this. The camera pans away from the band at the smokey dive to their shadow on the grimy wall, while crimes take place in the back room. |
