In This City Songtext
von Field Music

There′s something in the gutter
You said that was attractive to you
And I wondered what on earth you meant
And wondered if it was a what or a who
Nobody need forgive you
There's no-one here who gives a jot
Except what happens between the now
And 12 O′ clock
So you never need say a word
Nor ever be seen or heard
In this city where no-one says your name


A scarf was wrapped around you
A turn-up in the smartest shoes
So we skipped the jig up Hope and then
We laughed in the fumes
So you never need say a word
Nor ever need give away
In this city where no-one says your name

Where no-one says your name
Where no-one knows who you are
Or where you're from

And that has to be the model
For this night and every other night
It's the only chance of catching part
Of something stranger than whatever you are
So looking in the gutter
You see you need to take the blame
But remember that to feel the time is to feel the pain

So you never need say a word
Nor ever need to explain
′Cause you′ll never be seen or heard
Nor ever need give away
In this city where no-one says your name

Your name
Your name
