Every Fucking City

Live

Paul Kelly

Lyrics

We argued on the channel train to Paris

The vin rouge helped us make it sweet again

But by the time that we got down to Lyon

Everything I said was wrong and you cursed me in the rain

We split up for a while in Barcelona

We met up six days later in Madrid

I was hoping that the break would make things go a little better

And for a little while it almost did

Now I'm in a bar in Copenhagen

Trying hard to forget your name

And I'm staring at the label on a bottle of cerveza

And every fucking city feels the same

You said to call you when I got to London

A French girl told me that you'd left a note

I said to her "I like your accent" and she thought I sounded funny

So we ended up drinking in Soho

Foolishly I followed you to Dublin

Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar

And all the bright young things were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters

And once I thought I saw you from afar

Now I'm in a disco/nightclub in Helsinki

And they're playing La Vida Loca once again

And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap but I'm a chance here

Yeah, every fucking city sounds the same

At a cafe in the port of Amsterdam

An E-mail from you said you'd gone to Rome

For a minute I thought maybe but my funds were getting/running low

And anyway it sounded like you weren't alone

So I headed north and ended up in/until I got to Hamburg

A chilly city suits a troubled soul

And on the Reeperbahn I paid a woman far too much

To kick me out before I'd even reached my goal

Now I'm in a restaurant in Stockholm

And the waiter here wants me to know his name

And I can order sandwiches in seven different languages

But every fucking city looks the same

Arriverderci, au revoir, aufwiedersen, hasta la vista

Yeah, every fucking city's just the same
