| Send my love to the city
|
| Cause I’ll be having an affair this summer
|
| And this town’s very gritty
|
| So I’ll be living off the life of another
|
| You say come back, relax!
|
| I drinks stacks and move slow, move out the window
|
| Get a job, learn to dance
|
| Grow plants, hear tonys remarks and chants
|
| Wear velvet, walk the street
|
| Smoke Gouloises, laugh at the people you meet
|
| Drink long island, be an island
|
| You’re an island, then this is your island
|
| Well you’re stranded out there
|
| You’re the policeman out there
|
| You’re the law-aw-aw out there
|
| You are the one who rules out there
|
| So you laugh in the face of disgrace
|
| You’re the leader of the pack
|
| This is your generation
|
| Grab your A-Zs
|
| Flick in the back
|
| And plan world domination
|
| Send my love to the city
|
| Cause I’ll be having an affair this summer
|
| And this town’s very gritty
|
| So I’ll be living off the life of another
|
| You say you’re are a city avenger
|
| In an English garden waiting for the sun
|
| You’ve been caught with your pants down
|
| You say 'I am the walrus'
|
| But it really hasn’t hit town
|
| I say 'darling, do you laugh or cry
|
| Or scream or howl at midnight
|
| Is it wise to go out alone
|
| Without a phone in your hand?'
|
| Is the man, who grasped the lies
|
| And he ate the pies
|
| Which had the facts in
|
| To kill all the experts and what they are trapped in
|
| So breathe some air
|
| Run away for a day, a lover not a tearaway
|
| My friend, the city is close
|
| But clarity is far away
|
| Send my love to the city
|
| Cause I’ll be having an affair this summer
|
| And this town’s very gritty
|
| So I’ll be living off the life of another
|
| Send my love to the city
|
| Cause I’ll be having an affair this summer
|
| And this town’s very gritty
|
| So I’ll be living off the life of another
|
| Send my love, oh send my love
|
| Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh
|
| Break my heart, oh break my heart
|
| Break my heart, break my heart, break my heart, oh
|
| Send my love, oh send my love
|
| Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh
|
| This town, oh this town
|
| This town is tearing me apart
|
| And the city’s dead up in my head
|
| The city’s dead up in my head
|
| And it got you nowhere, no
|
| To be romantic and square
|
| Is so hip and aware
|
| Romantic and square
|
| So hip and aware
|
| Romantic and square
|
| So hip and aware
|
| Romantic and square
|
| So hip and aware
|
| So send my love…
|
| Won’t you please send my love…
|
| Please break my heart! |
