Album "Night and Day II", 2000

It's a hell of a town
There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground
It's a hell of a town
Plenty of devils for taking you down
Any time of night and day

It's a hell of a town
Getting drunk on the tears of a clown
It's a hell of a town
Steppin' out in a bulletproof gown
So get out of my goddamn way

I'm walking here
I'm talking here

It's a hell of a town
Swimming out where the ships run aground
It's a hell of a town
Always room on the merry-go-round
So step up and be damned today

I'm walking here
I'm talking here

  • every town is a hell

  • I totally agree! Night and day 2 is a wonderful and worthy sucessor to Night and Day. It paints, again, a vivid story of NYC, it's inhabitants and (sometimes) tragic lives. Musically still based on Latin Rhythms and even richer and more mature than its predecessor.. it is more a leap forward than a look back. No more need to step into the light there remains the urge to "stay". This wrap's it all up and connects both albums.. in a very mature and (for the fan) still totally recognisable way.

  • At first I wasn't that fussed about this album, but a decade on, I think it's one of Joe's best. All of the songs grow on you, and there's a hypnotic pulse that runs through the entire work.
