Lyrics

On these city streets, nobody looks nobody sees
Asking for favours asking for change
Life or death it’s all the same

Please let us have our city centres back
I’ve paid enough tax to ask for that
Oh it doesn’t matter what’s been before
All I know is we need a cure

The neon lights hang in the air
Taxi cabs wait to grab their fare
Another Saturday spills in the gutter
Waiting for the kebab crazed nutter

Please let us have our city centres back
I’ve paid enough tax to ask for that
Oh it doesn’t matter what’s been before
All I know is we need a cure

Sixty five bars crammed to the gills
The sound of money rings out from the tills
Bouncers stand by waiting for a fight
They won’t wait long on this Saturday night
Where have all the normal people gone
Is it a case the yobs have won
Could you laugh could you cry
It ain’t so funny in this land of milk and honey

Please let us have our city centres back
I’ve paid enough tax to ask for that
Oh it doesn’t matter what’s been before
All I know is we need a cure

Somewhere in the city a dealers doing trade
He carries a gun to make sure he is paid
The police carry guns of a different kind
And do you for speeding sure it’s an easy fine

Please let us have our city centres back
I’ve paid enough tax to ask for that
Oh it doesn’t matter what’s been before
All I know is we need a cure
