Five Bridges Suite (Live At Fillmore East)-The Nice

Five Bridges Suite (Live At Fillmore East) - The Nice FIRST BRIDGE (Instrumental) SECOND BRIDGE Five bridges cross the Tyne And the city sits close by For some go north and some go south But each one seems to cry. There's no good complaining 'bout dirty air 'cos there's nothing much else to breathe And it's no good shouting from nine to five if you haven't got the guts to leave You do not want to leave Then you make yourself believe You've got something up your sleeve. Won't you take a walk with me down to the Jesmond Dene Very Green. THIRD BRIDGE Take me to Northumberland Street Where Northumberland people test their feet On a pavement On a crowded afternoon And no one wants to change this But I bet they'll do quite soon. Take me to the new town hall With the light show on the wall In the evening All crimson, green and blue* Has your mother ever noticed? Perhaps she will quite soon. Take me to St James's Park Where St James's people park their feet On a Saturday United there they stand Now everybody's dad's there** With a bottle in his hand. Take me down to Grey Street Where no great people ever meet On Grey Street It's all too very calm I don't suppose you've been there That don't change the rule. FOURTH BRIDGE (Instrumental) FIFTH BRIDGE Five bridges cross the Tyne And the city sits close by For some go north and some go south But each one seems to cry. It's no good complaining 'bout dirty air cos' nothing much left to breath And it's no good shouting from nine to five if you do not want to leave You do not want to leave Then you make yourself believe That you've got something up your sleeve Because you do not want to leave And so you make yourself believe. * 'green' might be 'cream' ** or 'Everybody stands there, with a rattle in their hand' - the non-orchestra version sounds like this, but the version on the 'Five Bridges' album sounds like the lyric given
