When I get up I go wandering round
If you see me stop and say hello
Some people like to put it down
This town's the only one I know
It's filthy, don't get me wrong I know about the bad things too but
This city's been with me so long I let it wear out my shoes
Everybody wants to emigrate
I think for me it's a little too late
Grey old clouds have become my friends
They'll be with me 'til the very end
It's dirty but that doesn't hurt me
I know about the bad things too
This city's been with me so long I let it wear out my shoes
When I get up I go wandering round
If you see me stop and say hello
Some people like to put it down
This town's the only one I know
It's filthy, don't get me wrong I know about the bad things too but
This city's been with me so long I let it wear out my shoes
