The City Lyrics


Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
(Won't let this city destroy our love)
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't let this city
(Won't let this city destroy our love)
Won't let this city, won't let this city
You know I, I hate to see you cry
But when you open up to me
I take you in my arms
Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning
No, I don't care 'bout cash, no careers
Your losses or your arrears
I take you in my arms
Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads

No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Talk to me, let me shed some light on your dark
Help you see, how darling you've left your mark
On my life and the beautiful around
When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning
I was lost until that night we kissed
Given up on life, so darling, know this
You're worth more than how this city lets you down
When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
I won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
Won't let this city, won't, won't let this city
No, no, no, no
Not about the debts you made, the car we never had
The house we never owned, darling, don't look so sad
It's about that day we kissed up by Niagara Falls
It's about the keys, the keys, the keys to my heart you hold
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
Won't, won't let this city, won't let this city
(The top, top, top, top of the morning)
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let this city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let this city destroy our love
Won't let the city destroy our love
Won't let the city destroy my love
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let the city destroy our love
Won't let the city, won't, won't let the city
Won't let the city, won't, won't let the city
Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
No, I won't let this city destroy us
Won't let the city destroy our love

Patrick Wolf is an English singer-songwriter from London. Wolf mixes electronics and samples with a wide range of instruments including viola, keyboards, ukulele, and percussion, all of which he plays himself to form a fusion of jazz, folk and electronic music.

He began experimenting with sound and four-track recording at the age of 11, eventually building an arsenal of instruments that included junk-shop organs and a home-built theremin.

At the age of 14 he joined the pop-art collective Minty, a venture that caught the eyes and ears of Fat Cat Records, which went on to supply the youth with a computer and mixing tools for aid in his newfound audio experimentation. He left home at the age of 16 and formed Maison Crimineaux with his friend Fanny, which eventually found its way to France where the noisy duo played a show attended by electronic maestro Kristian Robinson (aka Capitol K), who went on to release Wolf's lauded 2003 debut. With Lycanthropy reaching number 39 in the NME's top LPs of the year, as well as receiving critical acclaim throughout Europe and America, Wolf decided to study composition at the Trinity College Music Conservatoire.

The results of that endeavor can be heard on his 2005 release Wind in the Wires, a dark collection of moody British folk and chamber pop with a chilly laptop sheen.

Wolf released his third album, and the first on a major label, The Magic Position, in February 2007. He has been busy promoting it with a successful concert tour in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia.

Wolf's fifth album, Lupercalia, is due to be released on 20 June 2011 by Hideout, a subsidiary of Mercury Records. Songfacts explains that the album title refers to the Lupercalia festival, which is was an ancient fertility and love festival that the ancient Romans celebrated between February 13-15, and was the predecessor to Valentine's Day.
