Scumbag City - The Strypes

There’s empty cans on River Street

Scumbag city blues

Sunday morning’s indiscreet

Saturday left clues

Last night’s claps and filthy slaps

Need no no excuse

Are you cutting out or holding back

A loop hole or a noose

Get me out, oh get me out

Cause I’m here to bruise

Oh get me out, oh get me out

Of this scumbag city

Scumbag city blues, scum bag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scum bag city blues

Just another howling wolf on the killing floor below

Oh no lie you’ll find in the first line I should have quit you long ago

All those angel eyes with the red neck ties wanna see me fall on my face

And no lie you’ll find I despise everything about this place

Get me out, oh get me out

Cause I’m here to bruise

Oh get me out, oh get me out

Of this Scumbag city

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

And when you’re lying in your hotel

Thinking you could do this with that

Well something creeps inside you yeah honey oh something pulls you back

But it ain’t the one way system that’s got you uh coming back around no

It’s all those friends and family keeping the size eights on the ground

There’s empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues

Sunday morning feels complete

When I get back to you

I could skip and give a miss

That I’d never choose

Cause even though I take the piss

I’m glad the future’s blue

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
