    Story Behind the Song
    I took longer to make this record than any one
    record I've ever made. Four days. For those
    of you who've followed how I work, you understand. Didn't even work in terms of chords
    on this one...approached it like Jazz..note by note...
    ...only the notes that felt right went in...no
    worries of 'what chord is it'...just jammed together a bunch of notes that had the right sound...

    So I spent twice to four times on this song
    as I usually do. Had to.
    Just..had to. Because, that's why.

    ~Lesley Jane

    Lyrics
    Pride Of Tenafly


    Hey!
    It's your party if you know it's true
    Don't you know the stuff that you can do?
    I remember a tune
    That I used to hear you sing way back there in June

    Nowadays I hear the radio
    There's no you
    And that's a shame you know
    You've got something to say
    You can do The Angel Shine
    You can walk away

    You have the gift of communication
    Your occupation's music to our ears
    Baby, let us hear that sound
    Get off of the ground
    There's a whole sky full of melody

    Lesley Q
    What happened to you?
    There's a brave new world that don't know you
    And tell me how'd it look from there in the sky?
    When you were the Pride Of Tenafly

    Are the stars too very far to go?
    Sweatin' to another oldies show
    You could be so much more
    Instead of havin' Old Jack Frost knockin' on the door

    Don't your conscience ever bother you?
    There are notes nobody sings like you
    They should hear you today
    Sister, why you wanna waste time?
    We ain't got all day

    Lesley Q
    What happened to you?
    Have you lost your mind or just your muse?
    And you weren't born to watch the good times pass you by
    You know you're the Pride Of Tenafly
    So fly

    Hello Lesley Q
    Whatcha gonna do?
    You're not a jukebox left from sixtywho
    Am I the only one around who could recognize the sound of an Angel in old clothes?
    Walking down the Avenue
    No one knows
    They don't even know it's you
    In a room about
    This big
    Wearing the past
    Just like a wig that covers up your crazy hair
    Yours flows so natural and actual

    Is it a sure-shot to keep the best locked away so no one ever gonna know that L.Q. was here?
    Baby, let the hair hang down!
    You've got the sound!
    You know the best still is yet to be

    Lesley Q
    Remember you are
    Not alone
    We'll be here too
    To say "I want my MTV" every night
    Show 'em all the Pride Of Tenafly
    Tenafly
