Sun Hotel (Demo) Lyrics
I remember you well at the Sun Hotel
Next to Fernando's corner store grocery
Behind the factory spoils where no soul should be found
We kept our voices low from the city
And I played you a song about the town that I was I from
While Dan played "Casey" while sipping on a Mickey's
We drank to forget that our lives were a wreck
That's when I realized you're the only pretty thing left
I remember you well at the Sun Hotel
Where we were famous and our hearts were fucking legends
And you told me again
"Greg, I'd prefer more handsomer men
But for you, tonight, I will make an exception"
You were clenching your fists
You were biting your upper lip
I watched a thousand tiny goosebumps gain the territory of your skin
And for whatever this is worth, I was happy
I was sure of everything
But you got away
Yeah, didn't you, babe?
Oh, and you got and I never once heard you say
That I need you
I don't need you
Oh God, I need you
I don't need you
Oh, I need you
No, I don't need you
Oh God, I need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
And I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
No, I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
No, I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
But I did
That's it
I don't even think of you that often
Next to Fernando's corner store grocery
Behind the factory spoils where no soul should be found
We kept our voices low from the city
And I played you a song about the town that I was I from
While Dan played "Casey" while sipping on a Mickey's
We drank to forget that our lives were a wreck
That's when I realized you're the only pretty thing left
Where we were famous and our hearts were fucking legends
And you told me again
"Greg, I'd prefer more handsomer men
But for you, tonight, I will make an exception"
You were clenching your fists
You were biting your upper lip
I watched a thousand tiny goosebumps gain the territory of your skin
And for whatever this is worth, I was happy
I was sure of everything
Yeah, didn't you, babe?
Oh, and you got and I never once heard you say
That I need you
I don't need you
Oh God, I need you
I don't need you
Oh, I need you
No, I don't need you
Oh God, I need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
No, I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
No, I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
But I did
That's it
I don't even think of you that often

Almost an exact cover of Cohen's Chelsea Hotel No. 2:
"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
And then you got away, didn't you babe...
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can't keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that's all, I don't even think of you that often."
One of my favourite Menzingers songs - arguably sounds much better with Greg's voice.
