In honor of how we'll be spending the weekend, I thought I'd post lyrics from one of my favorite "New York" songs. This song is off the album Welcome Interstate Managers by Fountains of Wayne, who are best known for the tune Stacy's Mom. The album actually has a lot of great stuff, so if you are a fan of catchy rock-pop I'd suggest you check it out.
And just like the song says, now we're leaving New York, for no better place (a.k.a. Jersey City). I mean, sure, I'm still working in midtown, but we're moving to a different state! That's dramatic.
"No Better Place"
Is that supposed to be your poker face
Or was someone run over by a train
And you were minding your own business
But you're begging for forgiveness just the same
And it's running back and forth inside your mind
Just how that town defined you
Dressed you up, painted your face
And now you're leaving New York
For no better place
It may not be a better place,but it is a cheaper place. We love you all and hope the move to Jersey goes well.
