Lyrics
L.A. SUITE
Music and Lyrics by Mark Westerfield (except where noted)
A) PRELUDE (It’s a Sham)
IT’S A SHAM
IN THE SKY LAY BROWN LAYERS
TRAFFIC JAM
TOO MANY LONG COMMUTERS
SO WHAT’S THE PLAN?
WE NEED MORE SOLUTION MAKERS
WHO GIVES A DAMN?
IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
THAT IT’S A SHAM, IT’S A SHAM
B) IN MY KIND OF CITY Starting at 3:16
TO BECOME WHAT IT COULD
IS A PLACE WITH A CENTER
LIKE OUR HOLLYWOOD
IN MY KIND OF CITY
BE A CITY FULL OF WALKERS
IN SHADE OF TALL CONDOS
WOULD BE BLISSFUL & BONKERS
IN MY KIND OF CITY
CONTAIN URBAN SPRAWL
DRAW ‘EM ALL BACK IN
AND LIVE MORE VERTICAL
IN MY KIND OF CITY
PEOPLE COME TOGETHER
FROM POCKETS OF MADNESS
IN A SOCIAL MIXER
IN MY KIND OF CITY
C) PIGEON ON THE L.A. SUBWAY 4:45 (Music by Ron Hernandez)
I’M A PIGEON ON THE L.A. SUBWAY
LETTING THE TRAIN NAVIGATE
GONNA RIDE IT ROUND TRIP
I’LL BE DONE BEFORE IT’S LATE
TODAY I BEGAN FROM UNION
LAST TIME FURTHER DOWN THE LINE
SOME WOULD SAY I DON’T BELONG
LIKE I AM OUTTA MY MIND
I SEE TOURIST FROM JAPAN
A FILTHY HOMELESS MAN
A CENTRAL AMERICAN
A WORRIED LOOKING BUSINESS MAN
D) SKYSCRAPPERS 6:35
E) BACK TO THE OUTSKIRTS 9:30
AS MY DAY DRAWS NEAR THE END IN TOWN
I SEE AND FEEL WHAT TRANSPIRES AROUND
I ROARED INTO THIS BUSY MAZE WITH THIRST
NOW I’M CRAWLING BACK TO THE OUTSKIRTS
TO THE CONVENIENT MODEL COMMUNITY
AND MY CONTEMPT FOR ITS DULL SCENERY
I’LL WAIT THERE FOR THE “GREAT INVERSION”
OR MAYBE I’LL MAKE MY OWN BOLD CONVERSION

my 2nd comment as a new macjammer, maybe the first for this song if I don't carry on too long. As I'm listening, I love the intro and guitar sound, nice Beatle-esque opening harmony, great change, gets a little too 80's prog for me, but not for long, nice recovery, now the vocals come in, surprising style, you make good use of your voice, very reminiscent of Steely Dan, I really like how you don't try to over sing, very cool to hear your influences, this is really good dude! Great hook!!! Well written, very impressive piece of work, I love it! GREAT LYRICS! I have to say this is one of the best pieces of music I have heard from an independent artist in quite some time, and I listen to a lot. Well done! Now I'm 7 minutes in and you have more than kept my interest, I think you have stumbled on a way to create something longer than 3 minutes that will keep the short attention spanners attention, brilliant! I'm just gonna kick back and enjoy the rest! Thank you!
