In The City (02/05/1977 John Peel Session)

In the city there's a thousand things

I want to say to you

But whenever I approach you

You make me look a fool

I wanna say I wanna tell you

About the young ideas

But you turn them into fears

In the city there's a thousand faces

All shining bright

And those golden faces are under 25

They wanna say

They gonna tell ya

About the young idea

You better listen now

You've said your bit-a

And I know what you're thinking

You still think I am crap

But you'd better listen man

Because the kids know where it's at

In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms

And I've heard they now have the right

To kill a man

We wanna say

We gonna tell ya

About the young idea

And if it don't work

At least we said we've tried

In the city in the city

In the city in the city

In the city there's a thousand things

I want to say to you
