If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, off of the strip
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
In the corner, out of the grip
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, off of the strip
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
In the corner, out of the grip
When they ask me, "What are you looking at?"
I always answer, "Nothing much" (not much)
I think they know that
I'm looking at them
I think they think I must be out of touch
But I'm only in the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge and, off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering about you
I think that somehow, somewhere inside of us
We must be similar, if not the same
So I continue
To be wanting you
Left of center, against the grain
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center, off of the strip
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
In the corner, out of the grip
And when they ask me, "What are you looking at?"
I always answer, "Nothing much" (not much)
I think they know that, I'm looking at them
I think they think I must be, out of touch
But I'm only in the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge and
Off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering about you
Wondering about you
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering about you
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering about you
Wondering about you
Wondering about you
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center, wondering about you
Wondering about you
Wondering about you

calypsus_1 Sep 16, 2011 - 19:52	Suzanne Vega - Left Of Center & Gipsy, Live Suzanne Vega, then 30 y old, live in concert St.Wendel Germany 1989. "I like her haircut, and her dancing. I also like this version of Left of Center better than the studio one. The guitar is way sicker!" svengali691 "I wish I could go back in time and attend this concert. While I'm wishing why not have Suzanne fall in love with me" diego3435 "Amazing, unique voice , 100% class!!!!! Clean, fresh look!! Missed in todays music!!!" borgboy1000 [ Reply ]

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled music flow, already in progress. I thought the same... the cover looks a lot like Mary Stuart Masterson! Absolutely loved that movie!!

In my Billboard book, it is credited to Suzanne Vega & Joe Jackson. I don't think I heard a 2nd voice, and now the song's over. Is this a new version without Joe? Or did he merely play piano? Any info, anyone? Pretty in Pink - I think one of the very best motion picture soundtracks, Hughes was such a genius in his own right as a director, but what freakin good taste in music he had.

Susan_Ssun Feb 13, 2010 - 15:12	I've always liked Suzanne Vega's style. Not too crazy about this song, but she definately has influenced a lot of young singer/songwriters. I recall my own initial response to her vocal style, which was, " Hey, I think I can do that"! Then I bought a new guitar, and that was the first day of my new life as a singer/songwriter. [ Reply ]
