The Coral - Cry of the City

The Coral - Cry of the City (from the 'Mysteries & Rarities' disc of the Singles Collection released in September 2008)

"This was recorded in our practice room in Hoylake, it started off a bit like John Martyn, thats where the inspiration came from, but I cant play guitar like him and it turned out nothing like him, but we just started playing on it and within an hour we had the whole tune arranged and we just recorded it the following week." - James Skelly, The Coral

Lyrics:

Hear the cry as the city weeps
People moving through the street
And don't mind me, going down the the river

Working hard to make it pay
Working hard to make their way
But don't mind me, going down to the river

I can hear the cry of the city
Can you heard the cry of the city?

Passed the statue where the water flows
Million faces that I never know
And don't mind me, going down the the river

Boats are leaving for another land
Watch it slipping through my hands
But don't mind me, going down to the river

Hear the cry as the city weeps
People looking but no-one sees
But don't mind me, going down to the river

Like the actor in the film I saw
Had enough but wanted more
And don't mind me, going down the the river
