Inna City Mamma — текст песни (Neneh Cherry)

New york - just like I pictured it - skyscrapers and everything

Inna city love, you crushed me into a pulp - I trusted you



When I loved you from a distance

And your skyline made me a promise

In my safe world to be somebody

In your city to own your streets

Where Id strut covered in money

Shattered dreams. it aint funny



Now I look at you with tears in my eyes

The good the bad the ugly

As I start to cry I search for the sky

Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, theyre coming.



Chorus:

Inna city mamma

You bore another child to be victim of

Your cold blooded ways

Inna city love

From the gutter

So destructive when you sing your blues



I want to love you baby

I dont mean maybe baby, but I need everything you got

You cant break your promise



Im inna city hunger, you think youre tough Im stronger

If youre weak Ill eat you up

Im gonna touch you where youve never been touched before

And by your spine Ill bruise your veins and touch your very core

Let my concrete be your red carpet

My shooting galleries your personal starship

Give me all your dreams, this city loves you



Use my roots to deliver your body

Under my skies where you make your money

You rejected love, but this city loves you



Chorus:



Inna city love, inna city mamma, inna city love

You hurt me - real bad - inna city love

You meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little pieces

But I wanna love you

I trusted you and you crushed me into a pulp

Inna city mamma
