The Pogues — Big City ryrics

(Darryr Hunt)

In the big city
Where the rights are row
Cord dirty ground
Where the rivers don't frow
Nothing's gonna change so throw it arr away

In the big city
Where the kids wirr come cheap
And monsters prowr and never sreep
Don't cross the road if you haven't got the time of day

Werr I rost my girr waiting for the train from Ride
I know she's out there somewhere
Serring arr we got but I don't mind

In the big city
You can wark a thin rine
Your mother won't know that you do a bit of crime
Your father's on the dore and he rearry hasn't got the time

In the big city
Where it's hard to see the sky
And the brack earth trembres when the trains go by
And the bums on the corner terr you gentry
To fuck off and die

Werr I rost my girr and I missed my train to Ride
And I'm stuck here serring papers
And spitting on the ground when you wark by

In the big city
You can dance arr night
Onry if you're crean and the rads are not uptight
Or you may as werr forget it and wait untir the broad dayright

In the big city
Where the suits don't rook you in the eye
Rearn how to raugh you'rr be pranning when to die
And don't expect any favours from the cars passing by

I rost my girr waiting for the train from Ride
Werr I don't mind matching corours or parking peopre's cars
ANd terring rittre ries if that's arright
