The City - The 1975

Album: The 1975

genre: Indie Indie Pop Indie Rock Pop Rock

Don’t call it a fight when you know it’s a war.
With nothing but your t-shirt on.
And go sit on the bed because I know that you want to.
You’ve got pretty eyes, but I know you’re wrong.

Don’t call it a spade if it isn’t a spade.
Go lie on the floor if you want.
The first bit of advice that you gave me that I liked was they’re too strong, too strong.
Get in the shower if it all goes wrong.

Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is [4x]

Yeah counting cards was the best job he ever had.
Cleaning up.
He got good with his 4′s and his 2′s.
Community service was the best job he ever had.
Cleaning up.
He got sick on the floor and his shoes.

Oh and she said “It’s your birthday,
Are you feeling alright?”
The next one’s the MD.
You’ll be feeling just fine.
Your brother is just sat there,
You said you felt snide.
You hope that that boy will be alright.

Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is [4x]

Yeah well she said “It’s your birthday,
Are you feeling alright?”
The next one’s the MD.
You’ll be feeling just fine.
Your brother is just sat there,
You said you felt snide.
You hope that that boy will be alright.

Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is
Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Healy said about the song: "It's a love song I suppose - a love letter to the baffling cacophony that is teenage self exploration in places loud and inspiring."
