Oscar Benton-Bensonhurst Blues

Oscar Benton-Bensonhurst Blues


『危険なささやき』主題歌「ベンソン・ハースト・ブルース」のライブ演奏です。
歌っているのはオスカー・ベントンですが、初めてその姿を見ました。
もっと泥臭いイメージの人を想像していたのですが、とても洗練された感じの方ですね。

Bay Parkway wonder
You're such a success
Your pretty secretary, ha
She say you are the best
Your face always smiling
say you sure paid your dues
But I know inside
You've got the Bensonhurst blues

Those custom-made ciggies
that you offer to me pretend
and pretend to care about my family
And those pictures on your desk
All them lies that you abuse
Do they know you suffer
from the Bensonhurst blues

Your grandmother's accent
still embarrasses you
You're even ashamed
of the French you once knew
You're part of the chance now
They break you making the news
But I know inside
you've got the Bensonhurst blues

But thanks for the lesson
Cause the life that I choose
won't make me feel like living
with the Bensonhurst blues

And don't, don't try to write me
And don't bother to call
Cause I'll be in conference
Merry Christmas you al
