The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't call it a fight when you know it's a war
With nothing but your t-shirt on
And go sit on the bed, because I know that you want to
You got pretty eyes, but I know you're wrong
And don't call it a spade if it isn't a spade
And go lie on the floor, if you want
The first bit of advice that you gave me
That I liked was they're too strong, too strong
Get in the shower if it all goes wrong
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, counting cards was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got good with his 4's and his 2's
That community service was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got sick on the floor and his shoes
Oh, and she said: It's your birthday
Are you feeling alright?
The next one's the MD
You'll be feeling just fine
Your brother is just sat there
You said he felt snide
You hope that, that boy will be alright
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Well, she said: It's your birthday
Are you feeling alright?
The next one's the MD
You'll be feeling just fine
Your brother is just sat there
You said he felt snide
You hope that, that boy will be alright
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
