This City Loves You Back Lyrics – Del Amitri

This City Loves You Back Lyrics by Del Amitri

Saw a hipster girl walking her cat
I saw a pig-masked man fall out of a flat
This city loves you back
This city loves you back

I saw a sawn-off police officer huffing up a rail
I saw a jet-liner reverse and hoover up its vapour trail
I saw a school on fire, saw a stag-night choir
Watching a seagull and a rat fight to the death over a flyer

I saw surgeons laughing at a heart attack
Behind a poster claiming this city loves you back
This city loves you back
I saw the cavalry charging at a peacenik brigade

Down the street where all the bands play and vapers parade
I saw a bride get busted, I saw a swan get flayed
I saw a kid fly off the quay where all the battleships were made
I saw a crazy b#tch flash her t#ts on the bonnet of a Rolls

I saw a hacksaw cut clean through the queen of souls
This city loves you back
This city loves you back
So I met you in a nightclub full of casual amputees

Who have their heads removed like chickens on weekend sprees
I never found a home here, I played too safe to crack
I was a wolf in the bas#ment pining for the pack
But you dogged me like a shadow now the city loves me back

This city loves you back
This city loves you back
This city loves you back
This city loves you back

This city loves you back
This city loves you back
