"I Love The City" lyrics

"I Love The City"

City living well it ain't for most
And that's a fact not an empty boast
Street scene and robot in din
Sun shines but you can't get it
Many souls have been lead astray
You've gotta love it anyway

City life well it ain't for most
You gotta be tough or you're gonna be toast
Many sizes and many names
From a distance they're all the same
Plenty people like open space
But give me a perfumed alley way
Give me clouds and give me buildings
Give me rotting vegetation
Give me concrete, give me ceilings
Give me over-population
I love the city

Many people like open space
But give me a perfumed alley way
Give me clouds and give me buildings
Give me rotting vegetation
Give me concrete, give me ceilings
Give me over-population
Oh, I love the city
