big yellow taxi

• big yellow taxi
  
  they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
  a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
  don't it always go to show
  you never know what you got till it's gone ?
  they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
  
  they took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum
  they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them
  don't it always go to show
  you never know what you got till it's gone ?
  they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
  
  hey farmer, farmer, put away that d.d.t
  give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please,
  don't it always go to show
  you never know what you got till it's gone ?
  they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
  
  late last night i heard my screen door slam
  a big yellow buldozer took away the house and land
  don't it always go to show
  you never know what you got till it's gone ?
  they paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
  
  aslen bir joni mitchell parçasıdır. joni hawaii'ye ilk gidişinde gecedir ve manzarayı göremez. sabah kalktığında karşısında pasifik okyanusuyla, palmiyeleriyle bir cennet durmaktadır. sonra balkondan aşağıya bakar ve kaldığı otelin çirkin otoparkını görür. ve böylece şarkı oluşur... biz de dinleriz, zevkle...
  
  bob dylan da yorumlamıştır zamanında. bi de lilith fair da sarah mclachlan, jewel, meredith brooks tarafından söylenen canlı kaydı vardır.
• counting crows'un son albümü hard candy'de "hidden" bi şekilde bulunan insanın dinledikçe dinleyesi gelen hoş şarkı. radyolarda çalan versiyonunda arkadan vanessa carlton tatlı bi şekilde eşlik etmektedir
• (bkz: got til its gone)
• two weeks notice filminin muzigi olan sarki.
• solisti sözlük yazarlarımızdan jandere çok bir benzeyen counting crowsun aşk çağrışımlı şarkı yorumu. radyo odtüde günün her öğünü dinleyiciye sunulmaktadır. lakin vanessa^* hanım eşlik etmemiş adeta kıyısından geçmiş şarkının.
