Send my love to the city

Cause I'll be having an affair this summer

And this town's very gritty

So I'll be living off the life of another


You say come back, relax!

I drinks stacks and move slow, move out the window

Get a job, learn to dance,

Grow plants, hear tonys remarks and chants


Wear velvet, walk the street

Smoke Gouloises, laugh at the people you meet

Drink long island, be an island

You're an island, then this is your island


Well you're stranded out there

You're the policeman out there

You're the law-aw-aw out there

You are the one who rules out there


So you laugh in the face of disgrace

You're the leader of the pack

This is your generation

Grab your A-Zs

Flick in the back

And plan world domination


Send my love to the city

Cause I'll be having an affair this summer

And this town's very gritty

So I'll be living off the life of another


You say you're are a city avenger

In an English garden waiting for the sun

You've been caught with your pants down

You say 'I am the walrus'

But it really hasn't hit town


I say 'darling, do you laugh or cry 

Or scream or howl at midnight

Is it wise to go out alone

Without a phone in your hand?'


Is the man, who grasped the lies

And he ate the pies

Which had the facts in

To kill all the experts and what they are trapped in


So breathe some air

Run away for a day, a lover not a tearaway

My friend, the city is close

But clarity is far away.


Send my love to the city

Cause I'll be having an affair this summer

And this town's very gritty

So I'll be living off the life of another


[interlude]


Send my love to the city

Cause I'll be having an affair this summer

And this town's very gritty

So I'll be living off the life of another


Send my love, oh send my love

Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh

Break my heart, oh break my heart,

Break my heart, break my heart, break my heart, oh

Send my love, oh send my love

Send my love, send my love, send my love, oh

This town, oh this town

This town is tearing me apart

And the city's dead up in my head

The city's dead up in my head

And it got you nowhere, no

To be romantic and square

Is so hip and aware

Romantic and square

So hip and aware

Romantic and square

So hip and aware

Romantic and square

So hip and aware

So send my love...

Won't you please send my love...

Please break my heart!
