about

Originally recorded by The Soft City.

lyrics

In a city life I think you’ll find
You have no love for the work you do
Though you can’t let go
You never change
There’s only death in the afternoon

We are much too close
Everything is fear and death
Come, come hold me close
Come hold me tight
You make it alright

Up at 5 a.m., begin again
I tell you something must give today
Fear, it passes on
From man to man
There is some cause and effect they say

You, you have no heart
You will never let me down
You, you have no soul
I pay your fees
Love me please

Will you ever wonder why?
Won’t you ever make that call?
Don’t you ever get uptight?
Won’t you ever make that call?
Won’t you ever make that call?

We are much too close
Everything is fear and death
Come, come hold me close
Come hold me tight
You make it alright
Never let go
You make it alright

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
