New York City Lyrics
Across the pond
Brunettes are blond
In New York City
The streets ain’t pretty
There’s tension in the air
Here, there and everywhere
In New York City
Nothing is pretty
In New York City

Everyone runs
Everyone has a gun
In New York City
No one has pity
You must look tough and strong
Coz the weak don’t last long
In New York City
You don’t show pity
In New York City
New York City

They’ll rob you blind
Take you from behind
In New York City
Life sure is tricky
It’s so hard to survive
You fight to stay alive
It’s so hard to survive
You fight to stay alive
In New York City
You’ve got to play tricky
In New York City
In New York City
In New York City

Ugly or pretty
Clean or shitty
Smooth or gritty
Stupid or witty
You’ll find it all
In New York City
You’ll find it all
In New York City
In New York City

Breath in the air
Taste the dark despair
In New York City
The air is shitty
Dust on the plastic rose
Powder’s left on your nose
In New York City
Everything’s shitty
In New York City

At night the streets
Pound with hip-hop beats
In New York City
Sidewalks are sticky
Blood and spit congregate
Next day all cleaned by eight
In New York City
Mouth and fingers sticky
In New York City
New York City

Ugly or pretty
Clean or shitty
Smooth or gritty
Stupid or witty
You’ll find it all
In New York City
In New York City
New York City
You’ll find it all
New York City
You’ll find it all
New York City

Love the Lyrics – only complaint is you didn’t spit out NYC in the first 2 or 3 verses
Vocals remind me of Chris Rea (a good thing)
