City Wrecker Lyrics

Jenny Lee, Montreal was never the same once you were gone
Jenny Lee, you should know the city fell into a sort of boring ruin
And so we leave Montreal and so the wild mother we once knew
Jenny Lee, I know that my behaviour was probably partly why you turned into a blade of grass and a blade of steel
I was a city wrecker then
I was a city wrecker then, I was a city wrecker then
I was the eye pointed in
That was 2009-or-so, I am still a city wrecker now
Now

And now you live back with the anglophones
And I am where my lover needed me to go
And I love her, so I step onto the ice
While you possess the common sense to demand paradise
My lover, bless her patient heart
Deep down, I know this town's not as bad as I pretend

I am a city wrecker, then
I am a city wrecker, then, I am a city wrecker, then
I am the eye pointed in
It is 2000-and-whatever, I am still a city wrecker but a different kind of wrecker
I am a different kind of wrecker, singing "la-la-la-la-la"s
I step onto the ice
It is 2000-and-whatever, I am still a city wrecker now
Now
Now
