The Stranglers — Summer in the City

[Verse 1] Hot town summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and - Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk It's hotter than a match head [Chorus] At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city [Verse 2] Hot town summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and - Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk It's hotter than a match head [Chorus] At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city [Verse 3] Cool town meeting in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'Til I'm wheezing at the bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top [Chorus] At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city [Outro] In the summer in the city In the summer
