the vogues', "magic town"
The Lyrics:
they say all,the street's are paved,with gold!,but all i see,are concrete and coal! and cold!,where's this magic-town?,where is,the good time's,to be found?,i'm going to,find it for you,girl! THIS MAGIC-TOWN!
Why:
the rhapsody is euphoric,not quite because this is, a dirge concerning,a disillusioned man,[presumably from,a small-town],who is lamenting about, how he was,LIED TO about,the "BIG CITY"!
