Now we’re walking down upon Francesca lane
Carrying bottles of Perrier-Jouet champagne
Yeah we’re walking down upon Francesca lane
Carrying bottles of Perrier-Jouet champagne
We are subtle
We are loud
Oh we can’t complain
Cause fame comes along
with whole lot of pain (x2)
Neighborhood,
Oh sweet neighborhood
We’re better off beingΒ hella misunderstood
Neighborhood
Oh jolly neighborhood
We’re better off being hella misunderstood
Now walking down upon Francesca lane
Our life is something like public/private domain

Wow, loved your singing the whole song/poem; only one I’ve encountered out here so far. You more than rocked the prompt, & seemed to have a hell of a good time doing it. I could hear Leonard Cohen as I recorded the recitation of mine; very impressive job!!!!!

Very nice, Saana. It is perfect for today’s music. BTW, did you write the music or have someone put your poem to music. I have had an offer to do that, NOW IF ONLY I COULD WRITE A SONG WORTH PUTTING TO MUSIC. Yours certainly is. Thank you for putting it on here.
