Song title: Pogues - Big City

Edit By: 216.73.217.147

In the big city
Where the lights are low
Cold dirty ground
Where the rivers dont flow
Nothings gonna change so throw it all away

In the big city
Where the kids will come cheap
And monsters prowl and never sleep
Dont cross the road if you havent got the time of day

Well I lost my girl waiting for the train from ride
I know shes out there somewhere
Selling all we got but I dont mind

In the big city
You can walk a thin line
Your mother wont know that you do a bit of crime
Your fathers on the dole and he really hasnt got the time

In the big city
Where its hard to see the sky
And the black earth trembles when the trains go by
And the bums on the corner tell you gently
To fuck off and die

Well I lost my girl and I missed my train to ride
And Im stuck here selling papers
And spitting on the ground when you walk by

In the big city
You can dance all night
Only if youre clean and the lads are not uptight
Or you may as well forget it and wait until the broad daylight

In the big city
Where the suits dont look you in the eye
Learn how to laugh youll be planning when to die
And dont expect any favours from the cars passing by

I lost my girl waiting for the train from ride
Well I dont mind matching colours or parking peoples cars
And telling little lies if thats alright

In the big city
