lyrics

HEART OF THE CITY

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
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Well, I'm a steppin' on the street,
and I'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There'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' everywhere
in the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music,
and a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl,
and they're checkin' on me
They know a bird in the hand,
is worth two on the street
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

I said,
heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart

Tommy And The Rockets image

Tommy And The Rockets Odense, Denmark

Good time power poppin' rock 'n' roll.

It’s the essence of the Beach Boys, Rockpile, and The Ramones all rolled into one.

Tommy and The Rockets are the 1963-65 Beach Boys reborn in 2016 Denmark - armed with supremely infectious melodies, harmonies to die for, and a stack of Ramones singles. If you remember rock n' roll radio, this is your new favorite band! ... more
