City Waltz

Kevin Ayers

Living in the city seems

To fill me with trepidation

Fills me with trepidation inside



Too much big business

And too little celebration

Too little celebration indeed



So let¡¯s raise our voices

And sing for our lives

Sing for our life

Let¡¯s raise our voices

Drink for our lives

Drink for your life my friends, my friends,

my friends, my friends



Too many reassuring lies

To lullaby the population

Lullaby the population to sleep



Too much big business

Too little celebration

Too little celebration indeed
