The Queen of Lower Chelsea
Embracing the Enigmatic Allure of Lower Chelsea
Lyrics
Did you grow up lonesome and one of a kind?
Reflecting on a solitary and unique upbringing
Were your records all you had to pass the time?
Emphasizing the importance of music as a companion
Or maybe you were taken by the mysteries of New Orleans?
Questioning if the allure of New Orleans captured the imagination
Or the uptight, rowdy girls of Lower Chelsea?
Noting the captivating nature of the vibrant girls in Lower Chelsea
And we're hustling under but we live in the city
Balancing the struggles of life while residing in the city
And we keep it down when we take a beating
Enduring hardships while maintaining resilience
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on
Finding solace and distraction through music (radio)
And if you find a good man, don't take him home
Advising against bringing a good man into a challenging environment
When you're working full-time
Juxtaposing full-time work with a lack of recreational dancing
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did
Remembering carefree moments and contrasting with current responsibilities
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
Acknowledging the impact of life's burdens on personal charm
She'll still remain the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Affirming someone's enduring significance as the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Did you grow up a good girl,
Inquiring about a girl's upbringing and relationship with her father
You daddy's pride?
Highlighting traditional values and family expectations
Did you make all the right moves,
Questioning if life choices align with societal expectations
Take all the right drugs right on time?
Referencing the potential involvement with drugs and their timing
American girls, they want the whole world
Describing the ambitious desires of American girls
They want every last little light in New York City
Expressing the aspiration for success and fame in New York City
But we're hustling under and we're fast asleep
Navigating challenges while being unaware or indifferent during sleep
And we keep it down when we take a beating
Enduring difficulties while maintaining composure
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on
Finding comfort in music during tough times
And if you find a good man, don't take him home
Reiterating the caution about involving a good man in hardships
When you're working full-time
Balancing the demands of full-time work with a lack of joy
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did
Recalling the joy of dancing in the past and its absence now
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
Highlighting the persistence of life's challenges and their impact
She'll still remain the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Affirming someone's enduring significance as the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Well they say these days,
Commenting on the contemporary notion that nothing is easily obtained
Nothing comes cheap
Stating the high cost associated with everything in the current era
And everything has a price
Emphasizing the universal concept that everything has a price
Everything has a price
Reiterating the idea that nothing comes without a cost
Nothing is free
Asserting the absence of free things, even oneself
Not even me
Expressing a personal acknowledgment of not being exempt from costs
When you're working full-time
Recalling the challenges of full-time work and a joyless life
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did
Reiterating the absence of past joyous activities
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
Emphasizing the enduring impact of life's challenges
She'll still remain the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Affirming someone's enduring significance as the Queen of Lower Chelsea
When you're working full-time
Echoing the challenges of full-time work and joyless nights
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did
Reiterating the absence of past joyous activities
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,
Emphasizing the enduring impact of life's challenges
She'll still remain the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Affirming someone's enduring significance as the Queen of Lower Chelsea
