BROADWAY MELODY OF 1974 LYRICS by GENESIS:
The moment of impact bursts through the silence and in a roar of sound, the final second is prolonged in a world of echoes as if the concrete and clay of broadway itself was reliving it's memorie
E last great march past. newsman stands limp as a whimper as audience and event are locked as one. bing crosby coos "you don't have to feel pain to sing the blues, you don't have to holla -
Don't feel a thing in your dollar collar." martin luther king cries "everybody sing!" and rings the grand old liberty bell. leary, weary of his prison cell, walks on heaven, talks
