Heart Of The City

(nick lowe)



We're in the heart of the city

Where the alligator roams

I'm a little lost lamb

Ain't got no place to go

I ain't got one penny

Just got a shirt on my back

I left home in a hurry

I ain't never goin' back

I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city



Well i'm a standin' on the street

And i'm a steppin' off the end

Yeah i'm lookin' for a lover

Lookin' lookin' everywhere

Maybe i'm in with a chance

I hear a clickety clack

There's a girl my lord

I see her stop, check, turn and double back

I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city



I'm lookin' i'm lookin' i'm lookin' i'm lookin'

I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere

In the heart of the city



We're in the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the stars

I hear the crash of music

And a thousand guitars

And the boys are on the prowl

And they're checkin' on me

They know a bird up in the hand

Is worth two out on the streets

Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city



Heart heart of the city

Heart heart oh yeah

Heart heart of the city

Heart heart oh yeah

(repeat to fade)
