1. ROCK'N' ROLL LIES

There's too much silence in her night
She calls herself an angel, and she comes to town
I said L-O-N-D-O-N
Just so she can fall
There's something about the way she walks, you know
It suits the city streets so well and yet
No one's heard her band yet, but they play real well

Oh yeah, here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies

You've seen the man, he calls out for a drink, and you're all
You're all tied up in your backstage lines
And you, you just can't move a muscle

Six in the morning and you rise and you fall, you got to
You got to grab what you can
Here comes your man, baby, he's a winner, yeah
He's a gunslinger

Oh yeah, here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies

Oh baby, when you say my name I get, such a thrill inside
She says there's something in the way that I look at her
Yeah, I guess it's right here in my eyes
I can't lie

And here it comes now, there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
You see those eyes, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh just like mine, babe, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh it's just the lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh it's just the lies, man, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh...


2. IN THE CITY

Well it's a close one, a real close one
And no-one gets hurt, but she's got twice the fun
But now they kiss in the rain
And did someone call out someone's name
From a white cadillac on a wide wind
To her white dress across the great divide
Into the warm moonlight

And she's been reading Bukowski for days
And she leans over, spits her name in my face
And says "Well now you know how it feels"
Well now you know how it feels

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the Night
11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my Man"
Well the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there

And the boys over at the bar
Yeah they're mixing up their medicine
The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception
Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing
His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
You're living on the guest list, up against the big rack
Head back, hand highs, it's getting loud in here
Think you're going to have to shout
And she's tearing off her clothes
He's stirring all his drinks, oh yeah
Streets divide them

It's an empire of signs
Honey say she can read
And it looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
It looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it

Still I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you in the city last night

And I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night

It's alright!
It's alright!
If you say my name
It's alright!
