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.
repeat to fade).
