Urban planning & history folks interested in whats been happening in New York City over the past decade or so will enjoy this. Apart from coming from a great band, the lyrics capture a lot of the concerns around the citys current trajectory. Some snippets: New York, I Love You But youre bringing me down Like a rat in a cage Pulling minimum wage New York, youre safer And youre wasting my time Our records all show You are filthy but fine But they shuttered your stores When you opened the doors To the cops who were bored Once theyd run out of crime New York, youre perfect Dont please dont change a thing Your mild billionaire mayors Now convinced hes a king So the boring collect I mean all disrespect In the neighborhood bars Id once dreamt I would drink New York, I Love You But youre freaking me out Theres a ton of the twist But were fresh out of shout Like a death in the hall That you hear through your wall New York, I Love You But youre freaking me out Like a death of the heart Jesus, where do I start? But youre still the one pool Where Id happily drown And oh.. Take me off your mailing list For kids that think it still exists Yes, for those who think it still exists
