This City Loves You Back Lyrics

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 bitch flash her tits 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 basement 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
