Bully Of New York by Steph Casey published on 2014-10-02T18:52:23Z A rough one-take recording of Ana Egge’s song Bully Of New York. I heard this interpretation of the song by Nadia Reid recently and couldn’t get it out of my head. Hope you like my rendition. S x Photo: Ana Egge “Bully Of New York” Ana Egge It’s so nice to be sitting outside with you on my mind Late in the day I hitched a ride, with you on my mind, I hitched a ride In the green park ranger’s truck, he slowed down as he passed me up he said Central Park, says it might rain And I learn another stranger’s name Late in the day So how do you like your job I said, You told me once it’s no good I lock up the playgrounds, here in the park I am the bully of New York Yeah I am the bully of New York It’s getting dark, so I turn the key Kids all think I’m being mean It’s not easy for me Working nights, I’m never home My love and I got divorced Theres a path of light there in the leaves I am a man on my knees Yeah, I am a man on my knees It’s getting dark, so I turn the key Kids all think I’m being mean It’s not easy for me It’s so nice to be sitting outside with you on my mind Late in the day I hitched a ride with you on my mind I hitched a ride The sun was sinking slow and grey You’re still on my mind late in the day Late in the day Genre Acoustic Comment by Ben Dummitt Really nice... 2017-09-27T10:50:41Z Comment by Ryu. beautiful!! 2017-09-27T08:21:00Z Comment by Vortexia Absolutely like this rendition, haven't heard the original so I will always think of this version if "Bully of New York" is ever spoken of! 2015-01-23T23:43:31Z Comment by Chris Scheri Hi Steph, I have not heard the original nor the Nadia Reid version but it really suits your voice and your style. 2014-12-12T10:48:13Z Comment by Anjù Missed this one.
