Bob Dylan - Desire: Wikipedia Album Entry
Desire is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's 17th studio album, released by Columbia Records in 1976.
It is one of Dylan's most collaborative efforts, featuring the same caravan of musicians from the acclaimed rolling thunder revue tours the previous year (later documented on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5). Most of the album was co-written by Jacques Levy, and is composed of lengthy story-songs, two of which quickly generated controversy: the over 11-minute long "Joey", which is seen as glorifying the violent gangster joey gallo, and "Hurricane", the opening track that tells a passionate account of the murder case against boxer rubin carter, whom the song asserts was framed. Carter was later released - but not exonerated - on appeal more than twenty years later.
A well-received follow-up to Blood On The Tracks, Desire reached #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart for 5 weeks, becoming one of Dylan's top-selling studio albums (currently certified double platinum), while reaching #3 in the UK.

Bob Dylan - Desire Lyrics
Bob Dylan - Hurricane Lyrics
Pistol shots ring out in the bar-room night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all"
Bob Dylan - Black Diamond Bay Lyrics
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a face from
Another time and place
Bob Dylan - Oh Sister Lyrics
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger
Bob Dylan - Isis Lyrics
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
Bob Dylan - Joey Lyrics
Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
Always on the outside of whatever side there was
When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered," just because"
Bob Dylan - Mozambique Lyrics
I like to spend some time in Mozambique
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek
It's very nice to stay a week or two
Bob Dylan - One More Cup of Coffee Lyrics
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
Bob Dylan - Romance in Durango Lyrics
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Dust on my face and my cape
Me and Magdalena on the run
I think this time we shall escape
Bob Dylan - Sara Lyrics
I laid on a dune and I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach
