The East River歌曲歌词：
作曲 : Lewis
If I had a girl on 9th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at dawn look around At folks
Find someone better looking who tells Better jokes
And then she’d leave me and I’d walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I’m crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in
And if I had a girl on 10th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at day look at all the Guys
Find someone who’se read more books And has bluer eyes
And then she’d leave me and I’d walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I’m crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in
And if I had a girl on 11th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at night hang around At bars
Find someone who draws better and Plays prettier guitar
And then she’d leave me and I’d walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I’m crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Throw myself in
Until the scum in the east river would Drown me
The phlegm and rotten rats would Surround me
The shattered cars at the bottom all Around me
Until I was just another scum in the East river
And when I become the scum it’s my Job to drown
The pathetic hopes and failures of the Next unloved clown
Though maybe it would be a girl and We could become scum together
Decompose as the river flows
Become one scum together
Become one forever
One bloated rotten putrid scum forever
9 8 7th avenue
Now I’m crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in

Jeffrey Lewis简介：
by David Jeffries
Underground comic book artist, Moldy Peaches friend and cover designer, and anti-folk musician Jeffrey Lewis was born in New York City in November of 1975. Lewis’ beatnik parents didn’t have a television in the home so comic books and his father’s blues records were early obsessions. Although his first album bought was Whodini’s Escape, high school brought an interest in the Grateful Dead (he went to 40 shows) and Nirvana. After graduating New York State University at Purchase (his senior thesis was on Alan Moore’s graphic novel Watchmen), Lewis started making music on a guitar on loan from his father and was turned on to the more oddball sounds of the Fugs, David Peel & the Lower East Side, and the Godz. 1998 found him playing open mics and releasing Indie-Rock Fortune Cookie, a cassette packaged with one of Lewis’ comic books. A CD-R compiled from the cassette landed in the hands of Rough Trade, courtesy of the recently signed Moldy Peaches, and the label issued The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and Other Favorites in 2002. An appearance on the Moldy Peaches-compiled Antifolk, Vol. 1 followed, and a second album, It’s the Ones Who’ve Cracked That the Light Shines Through, appeared in 2003. Lewis toured Europe with members of the Moldy Peaches in support of 4 Seasons, a box set featuring a comic book, a DVD, and two 7″ singles. The 2006 album City & Eastern Songs was credited to Jeffrey and his brother Jack while 2007’s 12 Crass Songs featured a dozen songs originally written and performed by the British anarchist punk band Crass.
