BROOKLYN (OWES THE CHARMER UNDER ME) Lyrics

Artist: Steely Dan
Album: Can't Buy A Thrill

A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

His lady's aching
To bring a body down
She daily preaches
On where she wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

A case of aces
Done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose
Brooklyn owes the charmer
Under me

by Todd Asmussen on 6/19/2008 10:17pm Some tweaks ... i've loved this song since it came out and I was eleven living in new york. "it's golf at noon for three Brooklyn KNOWS the charmer under me" I thought it was Brooklyn Knows not Brooklyn Owes. But don't sue me if I'm wrong on this. Also the golf thingy - I am real sure the 'His' is actually 'It's'. As far as 'free' or 'three' I'm good with either.
by bacteriapimp.com on 7/17/2008 6:19pm Anyone have any ideas about the eden rock. Is it a hotel? A golf course?.....
by jack on 1/3/2009 12:40pm The Eden ROC is a fine hotel on Miami Beach, right next to the Fontainebleu. It doesn't have a golf course, but there are many in the area. Does anyone know why there are so many S. FL references in S.D. songs?
by rlkaos on 3/27/2009 3:35pm every body from N.Y. knows that sooner or later you go to Miami. Back when this song was written the Eden Roc was one of the best. I think it is "Brooklyn knows the charmer under me." But what about the rest??
