lyrics

There’s something wrong with this picture
Spot the deliberate mistake
I’m blending in with all the fittings and fixtures
I’ve lost my hippy hippy shake
I haven’t spoken to a soul in days now
Man it’s got to be about time for a change
I’ve been getting pretty stuck in my ways and my ways sure have been getting strange
It’s Friday night and I’m home alone
Calling you up on the telephone
Singing take me to the city, take me to the city tonight
Take me to the city and show me those lights so bright
I’m in the middle of nowhere, going nowhere fast
Come on honey step on the gas and
Take me to the city, take me tonight

We could take over the jukebox
Down at the old white swan
Get lost somewhere in Hazzard County
There they know where I’m coming from
In South bank there’s always a party
Just waiting to happen somewhere
So gather all you need along the way and make like you haven’t a care
It’s been far too long since you and I hit town
So get your glad rags on and let your long hair down and
Take me to the city, take me to the city tonight
I don’t care if we’re dancing or putting the world to rights
Pop a pill or two and wait for the sun to rise
Shooting the breeze, telling each other lies
Just take me to the city, take me tonight



Red sky at night shepherds warning
Though I know not what they’re warning about
If the sun fails to show in the morning
I guess we’ll just make do without
There are lies being told ‘neath the Stonebow
We should head down their and put them all straight
There’s nothing like a rock and roll show to raise the temperature and your heart rate
You’ve got the wheels and I’ve got the weed
Between us we’ve got all we need to
Take it to the city, take it to the city tonight
This countryside is pretty but I’m missing the city lights
It’s been far too long since you and I hit town
So get your glad rags on and let your long hair down and
Take me to the city tonight
