the best city in the world.
I just posted a new video up on youtube! Its a song called The City Itself, I wrote a few years ago, but still love it now.
This is my guitarist and I performing it acoustically, at an awesome little bar in Melbourne, called Miss Libertines.
Check it out! and ill post the lyrics here too, as requested
lyrics below…
The City Itself
Take me now, cos I am breathing in and out,
But i could be dancing again,
Do you need paper and a pen?
So you can write down this next sentence, to help you, understand?
I don’t want heavy thoughts, complicated lies or looks,
give me streets at night, city lights, and all the lines you took
Cos tonight I’m in love, with this city and its words,
and you are drowning, at the bottom of my thoughts,
so tonight i’ll walk the streets, and tell everyone I meet,
That I’m in love, with no one, except the city itself
Shake it out, cos every step was filled with doubt,
But I see clearer now,
Concentrating on the beat, as I walk past Flinders street,
Its quiet, silent now
I don’t want heavy thoughts, complicated lies or looks,
give me streets at night, city lights, and all the lines you took
Cos tonight I’m in love, with this city and its words,
and you are drowning, at the bottom of my thoughts,
so tonight i’ll walk the streets, and tell everyone I meet,
That I’m in love, with no one, except the city itself
Now standing here, I’m fine,
Not a worry in my mind,
Inhale the quiet night,
Now standing here, I’m fine,
Not a worry in my mind,
Inhale the quiet night, the quiet…
