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 fascist 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!
