(nick lowe)
Were in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roams
Im a little lost lamb
Aint got no place to go
I aint got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I aint never goin back
Im lookin for a lover in the heart of the city
Well Im a standin on the street
And Im a steppin off the end
Yeah Im lookin for a lover
Lookin lookin everywhere
Maybe Im in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
Theres a girl my lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
Im lookin for a lover in the heart of the city
Im lookin Im lookin Im lookin Im lookin
Im lookin lookin lookin lookin everywhere
In the heart of the city
Were in the heart of the city
Were in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music
And a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
And theyre checkin on me
They know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two out on the streets
Checkin on neat in the heart of the city
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
