Nazareth - No Mean City Lyrics
Stopped in fright at a traffic lightRed eyes staring me outStrange feelings comin' down tonightCan't quite figure it outFit your alibi before your crimeNo need in serving no timeCase you scam, or you'll get rammedStretched out on that lineHangin' out at a shooting siteCold turkey calling a tuneAll the answers coming late tonightTry to look like you're immuneIn your eyes you can feel the heatBut the feelings outa touchYou're working on just a holding onYou're hurtin' oh so muchFeel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel your own heartbeatCan you feel your blood begin to heat?Call off your dogs 'cause i am no foxTurn off your white lightMy alibi is rock tightYour night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me inYour monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suitIs wearin', mighty thinFeel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel your own heartbeatCan you feel your blood begin to heat?Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a starAnd the perfume he wore lingers on the king's roadLike a whoreLegs wrapped around a plastic stoolHe's making more in one dayThan you've had.......hot, hot dinnersCall out your legions, the savior is looseTelling true stories you know that ain't no useYour empire is burning you can feel the smellYour hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machineIs looking meanAnd should be working wellFeel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel your own heartbeatCan you feel the pulse in the streetsCan you feel your own heartbeatCan you feel your blood begin to heat?(mccafferty, charlton, cleminson, agnew, sweet)Copyright 1978 nazsongs/panache music ltd.International copyright secured. all rights reserved.1979 a&m records, inc.
