This City Loves You Back

(álbum: Fatal Mistakes: Outtakes & B-Sides - 2022)

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
This city loves you back
This city loves you back
This city loves you back
This city loves you back
