Biography

New York City-based band formed in December 1971 and active until early 1975. Johnny Thunders (guitar) and Rick Rivets (guitar), Arthur Kane (bass), and Billy Murcia (drums) were joined by David Johansen (vocals) in the initial lineup, named [a1495539]. In 1972, Sylvain Sylvain replaced Rivets and the band began to regularly play venues in Lower Manhattan, particularly at the [l=Mercer Arts Center]. The band had varying levels of success, but were never widely accepted in the US outside the New York City area, primarily due to their appearance. Thunders and Nolan left the band while on tour in Florida in early 1975, and the band soldiered on, often being billed as "The Dolls" for a few more months with fill-in musicians. The New York Dolls reunited from 2004 to 2011, with Johansen and Sylvain anchoring a fluid lineup of backing musicians.

LYRICS

(break-down)
Private World
Private World
Well I just lost a lover, who done found somebody else
I get cool and lonely, feelin sorry for myself

Private World
Private World

Oh you call that drivin then see us dream
How could it last, I'm tryin hard not to scream

Private World
Private World

The joint start shakin, its ready to crumble
The boys are dukin, lookin for a rumble

Private World
Private World

One that is movin, at least I'm movin (better shut that door)
Private World, Private Girl, Private World
(Better keep it confidential)

Private World
Private World

Oh, you know I want some money, she replies
When uptown comes downtown, better take her for a ride

Private World
Private World

How many called, called my name
I'm tryin to explain, that I'm not the same

In a Private World
In a Private World

Well I just lost a lover, who done found somebody else
I get cool and lonely, feelin sorry for myself

In a Private World
In a Private World

One that is movin, at least I'm movin (shut that door)
Private World, Private Girl, Private World
(Better keep it confidential)

You got to keep it confidential
You got to keep it confidential
When I says hush
Child dont you cry
I'm beggin you hush
And dry those tears from your eyes
You gotta hush
Dontcha know you gotta hush

(Oh, alright)
