City boys and city girls,
Living in a lawless world,
Shaven heads and pretty curls,
Scatter the streets at night.
Lost, without a place to go,
It's five a.m. and they're hanging round the back of the disco,
Dancing the night away.
I had a girlfriend, I met her mother,
I couldn't stand her so I got another,
All because the law of the law says
The time has come around for you to know,
The time has come around for me,
Your way of life, the way you think,
The fags we smoke, the booze we drink,
Confirms to me,
The thoughts that we think are true.
City girls and city boys,
Marching on to rebel noise,
Try so hard to not disguise,
The truth that can hurt,
Oh yes it can hurt.
Lost without a place to go,
Off to find some friends you know,
And you can trust,
To fight the night away.
I took her out to the cinematic,
I never knew she'd be so problematic,
Then again the law of the law says
The time has come around for you to know,
The time has come around for me,
Your way of life, the way you think,
The fags we smoke, the booze we drink,
Confirms to me,
The thoughts I think are true.
City boys and city girls,
Living in a lawless world,
Dirty hands and bands and breaking fool proof plans.
Lost without a place to go,
Five a.m. and you're steamin' round the front of your disco,
Dancing the night away
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls,
City boys and city girls.
