The City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
But you got pretty eyes, I know you're wrong
[Verse 2]
And don't call it a spade if it isn't a spade
And 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
[Chorus]
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
[Verse 3]
Yeah, counting cards was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got good with his fours and his twos
Community service was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got sick on the floor and his shoes
[Bridge]
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 that you felt snide
You hope that that boy will be alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
[Bridge]
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 that you felt snide
You hope that that boy will be alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is, city is
Yeah, you wanna find love, then you know where the city is

What else have the artists said about the song?
“The City” was the moment that Drive Like I Do became The 1975. It was during our natural hiatus from performance around 2009. A new love for house music and access to technology meant we organically reapproached the band. It was now a synthesis between electronic music and our estabilished understa...
