Lindisfarne City Song Lyrics

City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,
No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going
insane,
But I've forgotten my number now, I'm remembering my
name. I've been too long travelling on your
train.Verse:You tried your best to strangle me, but I
could take the pain,You tried to hypnotise me, but I see
right through your game,And now your tatty tricks to me
seem really rather tame,I've been too long travelling on
your train.

Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're
there.

Repeat intro:
Verse:Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles
away,Back to the garden where the magic children play,And
to the country lady who knows more than I can say,Whose
night shines brighter than your day.Chorus:City lights
don't shine, they glareAnd your music doesn't speak, it
swears,And in your streets the girls have forgotten why
they're there.
