《Harry’s House-Centerpiece(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:01] Harry's House-Centerpiece - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:22] Heatwaves on the runway

[00:00:25] As the wheels set down

[00:00:28] He takes his baggage off the carousel

[00:00:34] He takes a taxi into town

[00:00:41] Yellow schools of taxi fishes

[00:00:44] Jonah in a ticking whale

[00:00:48] Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows

[00:00:53] Of Bloomingdale's

[00:00:58] Watching those high fashion girls

[00:01:04] Skinny black models with Raveen curls

[00:01:08] Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes

[00:01:12] Looking for the chic and the fancy

[00:01:16] To buy

[00:01:26] He opens up his suitcase

[00:01:29] In the continental suite

[00:01:34] And people twenty stories down

[00:01:39] Colored currents in the street

[00:01:46] A helicopter lands on the Pan Am roof

[00:01:49] Like a dragonfly on a tomb

[00:01:53] And business men in button downs

[00:01:59] Press into conference rooms

[00:02:03] Battalions of paper-minded males

[00:02:08] Talking commodities and sales

[00:02:11] While at home their paper wives

[00:02:14] And paper kids

[00:02:17] Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid

[00:02:39] Yellow checkers for the kitchen

[00:02:42] Climbing ivy for the bath

[00:02:45] She is lost in House and Gardens

[00:02:51] He's caught up in Chief of Staff

[00:02:58] He drifts off into the memory

[00:03:01] Of the way she looked in school

[00:03:05] With her body oiled and shining

[00:03:11] At the public swimming pool

[00:03:37] The more I'm with you pretty baby

[00:03:43] The more I feel my love increase

[00:03:49] I'm building all my dreams around you

[00:03:56] Our happiness will never cease

[00:04:02] 'Cause nothing's any good without you

[00:04:09] Baby you're my centerpiece

[00:04:55] We'll find a house and garden somewhere

[00:05:01] Along a country road a piece

[00:05:08] A little cottage on the outskirts

[00:05:14] Where we can really find release

[00:05:21] 'Cause nothing's any good without you

[00:05:27] Baby you're my centerpiece

[00:05:31] * * *

[00:05:50] Shining hair and shining skin

[00:05:55] Shining as she reeled him in

[00:05:59] To tell him like she did today

[00:06:04] Just what he could do with Harry's House

[00:06:08] And Harry's take home pay
