...HEART OF THE CITY... by Nick Lowe
*Released 1976*
Intro:
(Drums)
(n.c)
Verse 1:
In the heart of the city,
Where the alligators roam,
I'm a little lost when,
Ain't got no place to go.
Now I ain't got one minute,
Just gotta sit on my back,
I left home in a hurry,
'Til I'm never going back.
Chorus 1:
I'm looking for a home,
In the heart of the city.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Now I'm stepping on the street,
And I'm stepping up the hill,
And I'm looking for a lover,
Looking, looking everywhere.
Maybe I'm in with a chance?
I hear clickety clack.
It's a girl my lord,
I see her;
A (n.c)
Stop,
A (n.c)
Check,
Turning double fast.
Chorus 2:
I'm looking for a lover,
In the heart of the city.
Interlude:
Chorus 3:
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, looking,
Looking, looking,
Looking everywhere,
In the heart of the city.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
Well in the heart of the city,
Well it's part of the stars.
I hear that cassette music,
On a thousand guitars.
Hey, the boys are on the prowl,
They're checking out meat.
They know a bird in the hand,
Is worth two on the street.
Chorus 4:
They're checking the meat,
In the heart of the city.
Interlude:
Well I said;
Coda:
The heart, heart,
Of the city,
Heart, heart,
Oh yeah.
Heart, heart,
Of the city,
Heart, heart,
Oh yeah.
