'the subway is a porno, the pavements are a mess'- If you live NY, and ride the subway, then you know everyone's favorite pastime on the train is 'people watching'-even though you know you shouldn't stare, you still do. And when you get caught doing it.. you feel a bit embarassed. Almost like watchin porn.. you know you really shouldn't be doing it.. but you continue to watch anyway... you see strange things in the subway.. people, bums, life. Its like a whole other world.. as for the pavements.. they literally are a mess.. but they are also strewn with broken dreams of people who come to this great city to make it big, or study art, or just to make it. Basically, the song to me is about struggle and pleasure the city bring. You have to be a special breed to live and breathe NYC.. this song does just that. Ultimately its YOU who makes or breaks you.. the CITY is your comfort. Thats having love for NYC.
NYC- ahh what a city!
