This Is My City - Skyhooks

This is my city

This is your city

This is our city now

Well I’m back in the land of second chances

And rock’n’roll shows where nobody dances

Back in the land of chicken and chips

Mars bars and roadside tips

And if you don’t like it Then that’s too bad

Cos it’s the only city that we’ve ever had

So when the man says

That you gotta pay

You gotta cancel the cheque and you gotta say…

Well I’m back in the land of cheap incense

Where the favourite sport is sittin' on the fence

Back in the land of pie and sauce

Drinkin' flat beer with no third course

And if you don’t like it Then you gotta fight it And you gotta fight it now

Ain’t no time

For walkin' the line

Somehow the cream’s gone sour…

Back in the land of subtle hints

Where the artists are busy painting Picasso prints

Here in the land of all time lows

You can make it big and get your own quiz show

And if you just hate it Then that’s too bad

Cos it’s the only city that you’ve ever had

So when the cop says

Get outa town

You gotta get it together gotta stick around

This is my city

This is your city

This is our city now

I got it You got it We got it now

This is my city

This is your city

This is our city now
