lyrics

Living In A Big Town
(Rémy Hennequin, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

The light, the life, the cell
The cars, the bars, the smell
The clouds, the smokes, a blend
Sidewalk, asphalt, my land

When I was young, I was walking
Along, country paths in country places
I was so worthless and boring
I have no regrets
I have always dreamed of living
In a big town

The crowd, the sweat
Some of those street are hot and wet
The timing, the motion, the stress
I feel too tired to be depressed

When I was young, I was walking
Along, country paths in country places
I was so deadly
I really have no regrets
I have always dreamed of living
In a big town

The roar, the bangs
Breaking your sleep, the pangs
The violence, emotion, madness,
Life is stronger close to death, and

When I get old, I shall finish my life
On a bumper or killed by a knife
It will be violent, sudden
In public and brief
I wanna live and be killed
By a big town

When I was young, I was walking
Alone
I was boring, so flat
I have no regrets
I have always dreamed of living
In a big town.

One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021 ... more
