lirik lagu materialeyes – in the city
so pretty
from a fine old family in the country
daddy’s rich
and mum is a pillar of society
the future is planned out for you
grade a student
now a new life is waiting in the city
kissed goodbye
to your family and friends in the country
daddy says “take care and ring when you get there my love”
to the city
packed your bags
and found your way to the city
in the city
start a brand new life in the city
opportunities waiting for you
brand new job
you’ll soon be making progress in the city
making friends with influential people
in the city
everyone’s asking “who is the new girl, she’s so pretty?”
in the city
out to lunch
with the banker and broker in the city
getting tipsy with the office joker
in the city
there is so much going
in the evening
when the lights are so pretty in the city
taking in
the sights and the sounds of the city
paid half your wage on a new pair of shoes and a bag
that’s the city
in the city you have targets to meet
so much pressure, you have to think on your feet
there’s always another to jump in your seat
take your place if you fail to compete
come over here, dear, we’ll give you some pleasure for free
follow the dragon he’ll take you to your destiny
he’ll take you to paradise
make you feel so nice
send you to heaven, or h-ll if you like
one little sniff and you’ll be with the angels tonight
the price has gone up if you want to get back to your high
we’ll cut you a deal, will you do everything that’s required
if you are a good girl and fulfill your tasks
when the bell rings you’ll do as you’re asked
the devil has taken your soul with him down to his fire
you are so young now you look like a woman of fifty
the punters in here are all looking a little bit shifty
banker and broker are slipping you twenties
your gl-ss was half full, now you’re running on empty
could you be that same girl who came all the way from the country?
in the city
if you find yourself in the city
in the city
if you make your life in the city
the black and the white man, the olive and brown
jostling commuter who’s lost underground
the who cleans windows way up on a ledge
and the guy in the taxi with all the knowledge
and he’s had in his cab all the glitz and the glam
and the lad from eastenders, i think he’s called sam
and pam in the canteen who serves all the meals
to the guys in the office who make all the deals
the j.p. and juror who hear all the pleas
from the man in the dock who shouts, “wasn’t me!”
the blind man, the beggar, the junkie and thief
the big city chiefs and all those beneath
the king and the queen and the houses of p.
are all tiny cogs in the big factory called the city
that’s the city
in the city
that’s the city
that’s the city
(in the city)
(in the city)
