Van Der Graaf Generator Urban Lyrics

(Hammill)

Sometimes living for the moment
sometimes going with the flow
sometimes professing to be an exponent
of the quiet life
while night life
surrounds me I sit
and go crazy alone
too many people and too little action
too much exterior acting too little inside.
Oh, yet I still feel that manic attraction I've lived in the city for most of my life
and suppose
I'll be there when I die
still going through the frantic motions
still qualifying everything I say
responding urbanely to every emotion
the city life freaks me
the city life feeds me
the city life blows me away
