Seinfeld - Tom's Restaurant

Seinfeld - Tom's Restaurant by 45street | www.victorpuig.com.
- Tom's Diner -

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

" It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Is getting wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing (1987)


- Seinfeld Quote: George and Jerry, in 'The Summer of George' -

- Listen to me. We're always sitting here. I'm always helping you with your girl problems, you're always helping me with my girl problems. Where do we end up?

- Here.

- Exactly. Because neither one of us can handle a woman all by ourselves.

- I'm trying.

- I've tried. We don't have it. But maybe the two of us, working together, at full capacity, could do the job of one normal man.

- Then each of us would only have to be like a half-man. That sounds about right.

Hi jenn, I'm also a Seinfeld fan!. Tom's Restaurant is in 2880 Broadway (at 112th Street) in New York City. I recommend to you an interesting page of Seinfeld trivia (for a huge Seinfeld fans): www.imdb.com/title/tt0098904/trivia

Is this really it? Oh, how wonderful. Seinfeld is one of the all time greats.

I just discoverd a most hilarious op-ed piece by Larry David in a January NYT about why he can't go to see Brokeback Mtn, and it was pure Seinfeld all over again. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Jewish History - Ancient and Modern, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
Anything having to do with "Seinfeld" certainly warrants a place in this group!

Gah, I love Seinfeld. I remember when I went back to NY a couple years ago I passed by this place and I was like "I wonder if Jerry & George are in there?" Haha.

:D
