Send my love to the city Cause I'll be having an affair this summer And this town's very gritty So I'll be living off the life of another You say come back, relax! I drinks stacks and move slow, move out the window Get a job, learn to dance, Grow plants, hear fascist remarks and chants Wear velvet, walk the street Smoke Gouloises, laugh at the people you meet Drink long island, be an island You're an island, then this is your island Well you're stranded out there You're the policeman out there You're the law-aw-aw out there You are the one who rules out there So you laugh in the face of disgrace You're the leader of the pack This is your generation Grab your A-Zs Flick in the back And plan world domination Send my love to the city Cause I'll be having an affair this summer And this town's very gritty So I'll be living off the life of another You say you're are a city avenger In an English garden waiting for the sun You've been caught with your pants down You say 'I am the walrus' But it really hasn't hit town I say 'darling, do you laugh or cry Or scream or howl at midnight Is it wise to go out alone Without a phone in your hand?' Is the man, who grasped the lies And he ate the pies Which had the facts in To kill all the experts and what they are trapped in So breathe some air Run away for a day, a lover not a tearaway My friend, the city is close But clarity is far away. Send my love to the city Cause I'll be having an affair this summer And this town's very gritty So I'll be living off the life of another [interlude] Send my love to the city Cause I'll be having an affair this summer And this town's very gritty So I'll be living off the life of another Send my love, oh send my love Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh Break my heart, oh break my heart, Break my heart, break my heart, break my heart, oh Send my love, oh send my love Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh This town, oh this town This town is tearing me apart And the city's dead up in my head The city's dead up in my head And it got you nowhere, no To be romantic and square Is so hip and aware Romantic and square So hip and aware Romantic and square So hip and aware Romantic and square So hip and aware So send my love...
