This is 'Nights on Broadway' by the Bee Gees. R&R people!
Chapter 1: Nights on Broadway
They were from different sides of town. The Brooklyn newsies and the Manhattan newsies. Even when they went to Irving Hall, on cold night, they stayed clear of each other; Brooklyn was not a force to be reckoned with.
Brooklyn was Spot Conlon and his gang. Boots, his right-hand mane and the greatest supplier of slingshot rocks this side of anywhere, was standing beside the leader in great confidence.
Hiding in the shadows a few feet away was a group of Manhattan newsies.
Here we are in the room full of strangers,
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me
Out of the corner of his eye Boots spotted the Manhattan newsies leader, Jack Kelly. He was not yet seventeen but he looked to be a man. Boots stole away from Spot's side and chased Jack through the crowd.
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
He watched quietly as Jack sat at a table across the way.
Boots watched Jack and wished things would work out for them. But why should they? They hadn't ever spoken. Why couldn't things work out like in the new Broadway plays? Romantic and heart touching? Unfortunately, there was no room for a gay boy in the streets of New York City.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
He watched Jack, sighing to himself as he watched the show, before hurrying back to Spot who was surrounded by Brooklyn newsies. Spot glanced Boots' way and shot him a look. Pulling him aside he asked in an accusing voice: "Where were you? Don't run off, OK? They know you my main man."
Boots nodded, grateful that Spot had taken him in, but aching because he was keeping him from Jack.
Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin' in the line;
How long will they stand between us?
He gazed across the room and watched Jack. Why couldn't he stop staring at him like this? Why was it so difficult to stop thinking about him?
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Damn New York! Why was he here anyways? Did he really think he could have made it onto the stage with no training and no experience? If he had never gotten the stupid idea to come he never would have met Jack or Spot and he never would have been in Irving Hall tonight.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
All he knew was what he wanted. He wanted Jack and, he wanted Broadway. They were the only two things that mattered to him right now. He had to feel like the world was right and he had hopes. Just like before Broadway came and stole them away.
I will wait,
Even if it takes forever;
I will wait,
Even if it takes a life time.
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side.
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a life time, takes a life time.
The only thing that could fill the massive gap that Broadway was his other yearning. Jack. Maybe the Manhattan leader knew a little more than how to hawk a headline. Maybe he knew how to make Boots feel whole again.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
