the abstracted shapes
of the people's thoughts
different shops and pubs
all the cheap facades
it is all this city
it is all this city
wind shaken trees
half crumbling parks
the enquiring eyes
fingers parting lace
it is all this city
it is all this city
long straggling queues
of the out of work
a baby sucking sweets
dribbling down his quilt
it is all this city
it is all this city
all this city
Notes
Lyrics written by Geoff Mann.
Released on the Fact And Fiction album;
recorded at Revolution Studios in 1982.
This song was not played live a lot. There is a live recording of it, where it is played as a
medley with a one-off song. I'll try and get more info.
