Big City (Saturday Club Presented by Brian Matthew, 10 October 1965) Songtext
von The Pretty Things

Well I used to be simple living countryboy
Didn′t even know the time of day
Till I bought a ticket on a southboundtrain
Got my blues, I was going to stay

Big city, big city,
Well you ain't quite big enough for me


I used to go out fishing on a sunny day
Catch myself a child or two
But there are bigger fish in a city pool
I should know cause I got myself you

Big city, big city,
Yeah you ain′t quite big enough for me

I soon forgot the faith my mother told me
I being good in everything
For there are things in the city design
Cause I know why women roll of the die
