Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Adoration Of The City

Adoration of the city

Adoration of the town

With the gardens at the centre

Where the penguins stroll around

Adoration

Adoration of the city

It's your city I adore

As I lie there on my stomach

As you sprawl across the floor

Adoration, adoration

Adoration of the city

Adoration of the zones

All divided into districts

Marked with black and yellow cones

I wanna get my head around your

One-way systems

Well I'm stuck on the ring road, marooned on the beltway

I'm bumper to bumper and nose to tail

Oh baby

I see your gleaming spires but I'm out on all four tyres

Oh baby

Well it's Chocka at the Hogarth

Where the grey flyover looms

How I wish I was beside you

Where your central flower blooms

Adoration

I love your city

I love your cat

I love your button

And I love your flat

I kiss your chimneys

I walk your heels

And when you're stomping down in them you

Don't know how it feels

I wanna get my head around your

I wanna get my head around your

I wanna get my head around your

One way systems

Adoration
