Watching cars go by Watching time go Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall? Out the window, so far down If I threw my guitar Would I start to regret it Garbage trucks and taxi cabs The way you treat me like the only I don't think I'll ever be the same Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall? I'm sitting by the window of your thirty-second floor apartment Slightly brings me down a lot Publisher: STAMEN MUSIC I'm waiting for these memories to begin The clamor of jack-hammers seems so faint Songwriter: John Mccrea I'm sitting watching wind blow Out the window, so far down Would I start to regret it Waiting for your phone calls all to end If I threw my guitar Don't seem like they can reach me here
Cake does a great job of interperatin g the song without losing their own unique style. They do a great version of I Will Survive as well.

@ AA Wulf, he meant the ORIGINAL author, I presume.
I still find it amusing that a song by a band called "Bread" was later covered by a band called "Cake". It's a great setup for an intricate joke about Marie Antoinette. Both versions of this song are excellent. I normally hate covers, but Cake did a good job with this one. |

LoL The author is right up at the top, see the picture of the album cover with the name of the band on it? See the name of the band directly above the song? Man you are lame. But I'll tell you what isn't lame. CAKE! I <3 them.

HEY PANDORA, HOW ABOUT PUTTING THE AUTHOR OF THE SONG ON THE "ABOUT THE SONG" PAGE. MY EARS CAN PICK UP ON THE "SUBTLE USE OF VOCAL HARMONY". FINDING THE AUTHOR'S NAME WOULD BE MORE USEFUL INFO. THANKS

Give credit to Bread in the "about song" if you will. David Gates was a fabulous song writer. Good version, Cake!
