[00:08.37]Intake, Manor Park, The Wicker, Norton
[00:20.34]Frechville, Hackenthorpe, Shalesmoor
[00:29.63]Wombwell, Catcliffe, Brincliffe, Attercliffe
[00:39.32]Ecclesall, Woodhouse, Wybourn
[00:52.50]Pitsmoor, Badger, Wincobank
[00:59.49]Crookes, Walkley, Broomhill
[01:39.02]The city is a woman
[01:42.98]Bigger than any other
[01:46.21]Oh, sophisticated lady
[01:49.71]Yeah, I wanna be your lover
[01:52.85]Not your brother, not your mother, yeah
[01:56.84]The sun rose from behind the gasometers at 6:30 a.m.
[02:00.80]Crept through the gap in your curtains
[02:03.00]Caressed your bare feet
[02:03.97]Poking from beneath the floral sheets
[02:06.94]I watched him flaking bits of varnish from your nails
[02:10.73]Trying to work his way up under the sheets, Jesus!
[02:14.03]Even the sun's on heat today
[02:15.83]The whole city getting stiff in the building heat
[02:17.75]I just want to make contact with you
[02:21.73]Oh, that's all I wanna do
[02:25.11]I just want to make contact with you
[02:29.38]Oh, that's all I wanna do
[02:41.48]Now I'm trying hard to meet her
[02:43.24]But the fares went up at seven
[02:44.98]She is somewhere in the city
[02:46.81]Somewhere watching television
[02:48.96]Watching people being stupid
[02:50.58]Doing things she can't believe in
[02:52.51]Love won't last 'til next installment
[02:54.53]Ten o' clock on Tuesday evening
[02:56.39]The world is going on outside
[02:58.59]The night is gaping open wide
[03:00.47]The wardrobe and the chest of drawers
[03:02.36]Are telling her to go outdoors
[03:04.23]He should have been here by this time
[03:06.07]He said that he'd be here by nine
[03:07.91]That guy is such a ***** sometimes
[03:09.76]I don't know why you bother, really
[03:14.24]Oh babe, oh, I'm sorry
[03:16.93]But I, I just had to make love
[03:20.49]To every crack in the pavement
[03:22.12]And the shop doorways
[03:23.84]And the puddles of rain
[03:24.96]That reflected your face in my eyes
[03:30.05]The day didn't go too well
[03:32.66]Too many chocolates and cigarettes
[03:34.45]I kept thinking of you
[03:36.14]And almost walking into lamp posts
[03:38.81]Why's it so hot?
[03:42.74]The air coming up to the boil
[03:45.02]Rubbing up against walls
[03:46.23]And lamp posts trying to get rid of it
[03:49.41]Old women clack their tongues
[03:51.71]In the shade of crumbling concrete bus shelters
[03:55.60]Dogs doing it in central reservations
[04:00.06]And causing multiple pile ups in the center of town
[04:03.99]I didn't want to go in the first place
[04:07.24]But I've been sentenced to three years
[04:09.10]In the Housing Benefit waiting room
[04:12.88]I must have lost your number in the all night garage
[04:16.16]And now I'm wandering up and down your street
[04:17.95]Calling you name in the rain
[04:22.21]Whilst my shoes turn to sodden cardboard
[04:25.58]Where are you?
[04:26.40](I'm here)
[04:27.35]Where are you?
[04:28.24](I'm here)
[04:29.09]Where are you?
[04:30.07](I'm here)
[04:30.95]Where are you?
[04:31.89](I'm here)
[04:33.00]Where are you?
[04:33.87](I'm here)
[04:35.14]Where are you?
[04:35.70](I'm here)
[04:37.21]Where are you?
[04:50.51]I'm still trying hard to meet you
[04:52.35]But it doesn't look like happening
[04:54.26]'Cause the city's out to get me
[04:55.98]But I won't sleep with her this evening
[04:57.76]Though her buildings are impressive
[04:59.64]And her cul-de-sacs amazing
[05:01.78]She's had too many lovers
[05:03.39]And I know you're out there waiting
[05:05.60]And now she's getting into bed
[05:07.52]He's had his chance, now it's too late
[05:09.35]The carpet's screaming for her soul
[05:11.20]The darkness wants to eat her whole
[05:13.14]Tonight must be the night it ends
[05:14.91]Tomorrow she will call her friends
[05:16.84]And go out on her own somewhere
[05:18.78]Who needs this **** anyway?
[05:22.68]Oh listen
[05:25.12]I wandered the streets the whole night
[05:27.54]Trying to pick up your scent
[05:29.45]Writing messages on walls
[05:31.62]And the puddles of rain
[05:34.18]Reflected your face in my eyes
[05:38.83]We finally made it
[05:45.62]On a hill top at 4 a.m.
[05:49.47]The whole city is your jewelery box
[05:53.97]A million twinkling yellow street lights
[05:57.90]Reach out and take what you want
[06:01.26]You can have it all
[06:03.77]Jesus, it took a long time
[06:07.17]I didn't think we were gonna make it
[06:11.19]So bad during the day
[06:13.15]But now snug and warm under an eiderdown sky
[06:20.93]Oh, the things we saw everyone on Park Hill
[06:25.18]Came in unison at 4:13 a.m
[06:28.43]And the whole block fell down
[06:31.53]The tobacconist caught fire
[06:34.27]And everyone in the street died of lung cancer
[06:40.82]We heard groans coming from the T-reg Chevette
[06:45.20]You bet, you bet, yeah you bet
[06:58.97]And tomorrow?
[07:21.71]Oh, I was trying hard to meet her
[07:23.75]But the fares went up at seven
[07:25.43]She was somewhere in the city
[07:27.30]Somewhere watching television
[07:29.10]Watching people being stupid
[07:31.03]Doing things she can't believe in
[07:32.96]Love won't last 'til next installment
[07:34.85]Ten o'clock on Tuesday evening
[07:37.01]The world was going on outside
[07:38.93]The night was gaping open wide
[07:40.71]The wardrobe and the chest of drawers
[07:42.46]Were telling her to go outdoors
[07:44.34]He should have been there by that time
[07:46.20]He said that he'd be there by nine
[07:48.02]That guy is such a ***** sometimes
[07:51.88]Oh baby yeah, I want to tell you that
[07:57.71]There's nothing to worry about because we can
[08:02.09]We can get it together, oh yeah
[08:11.59]We got it together tonight, didn't we?
[08:17.50]I'd say we did, yeah
[08:20.28]we made it
[08:19.21]We've got a hope
[08:21.45]oh yeah
