| No head for breakfast The car wouldn't start The train was really full No he didn't want to work The houses all the same Now here's the rain Not falling It's collapsing at his feet Deep breath and Bundy's on With a raincoat on his arm He wishes the hours would disappear The trip's in vain, 'cause awaiting him : A layoff notice and his severance pay He shuffles back to the train again You've gotta love this city For days he lies in bed Nothing in his head Enough Oprah, time to rise and take 'em on So he tracks on, tracks on into town He's never down When he's walking one in a hundred in a crowd Yeah the girls are pretty and the lights are bright And it's truth and dare all in the one big night He really loves his city Holding court at Taylor Square proper The man he could become Lee is full as a bum now Seven holy parcels by his side Yeah, you gotta love this city You gotta love this city He walks along the foreshore He's got a bottle And he shrugs in time with the water The water loves him He can take no car He won't miss his job At least he's got the city It was busy everywhere he went There was a crowd over the bay And a fireworks display "It's all very strange for a Thursday night" thought he And it dawns on him as a cracker explodes And who the hell is he going to blame ? It dawns on him, the horror We got the Olympic Games You gotta love this city For its body and not its brain And he screams : "My city is a whore" It's opened its legs to the world Jumped up and down in pastel shirts And lathered up thinking about designs for t-shirts You gotta love this city For its body and not its brain {You used to love this city} {Love this city, used to love this city} {You used to love this city} {Love this city, used to love this city} {He used to love this city} {Love this city, for its body and not its brain} {He used to love this city} {Love this city, for its body and not its brain} And it's more than he can take And the star's reflection breaks He's had enough And he sinks to the bottom.
