Lyrics Heart of the City - Nick Lowe

We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go

Now, I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
And I ain't never goin' back

I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Now I'm a steppin' on the street
And I'm a steppin' off the end
And I'm lookin' for a lover
A-lookin', lookin' everywhere

Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety-clack
It's a girl, my Lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back

I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

I'm lookin'
I'm lookin'
I'm lookin'
I'm lookin'
I'm lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city
We're in a part of the stars
I hear the crash of music
From a thousand guitars

And the boys are on the prowl
Oh, they're checkin' the beat
They know a bird in the hand
Is worth two on the street

They're checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

I said the heart, heart
Of the city
Heart, heart, oh yeah
Heart, heart
Of the city
Heart, heart
Say it now
Heart, heart
