The Great Del Rey?

With up-and-coming film "The Great Gatsby" coming to theaters next month, some of LDR's lyrics have been chosen to represent the movie. Do they match the plot of the book? You tell me. I'll give a list of lyrics, and comment my posts yes or no!

  1. Money is the anthem of success, so before we go out, what's your address?
  2. Remember how we used to party up all night?
  3. Big dreams, gangster, said you had to leave to start your life over.
  4. Singing in the old bars, swinging with the old stars, living for the fame.
  5. It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do.
  6. Sometimes love is not enough, and the road gets tough, I don't know why.
  7. My old man is a bad man, but I can't deny the way he holds my hand.
  8. Um, do you think he'll buy me lots of diamonds?
  9. Now my life is sweet like cinnamon, like a f*cking dream I'm livin' in.
  10. You're screwed up and brilliant, look like a million-dollar man, so why is my heart broke?

This to me is perfection. With "The Great Gatsby" being one of my favorite novels, and Lana one of my favorite artists, comparing the two gives me the chills.
