The whole of time we gain or lose,
And power enough to choose,
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me.

This is stated to be a "rare demo" version, and it's slightly slower than the album version but very nice. The album "Can't Buy A Thrill" is at #38 in my all time list. We're keeping on with the list for now!

the way it just launches in
An amazing song from an amazing band. Certainly of my favorite of theirs. Though Donald Fagen does not sing on this one, I feel this song is an embodiment of each member of Steely Dan put into one. "The whole of time we gain or lose And power enough to choose, Brooklyn owes the charmer under me"
A Steely Dan day is a good day...
From my favourite album of all time...
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.
