High-rise buildings
Low cost apartments
Financial district
Industrial area
Rows of blue collars
Steelworkers' clink-clang
Metal rhythm left and right
This is the city, city of light

The faceless men

Click on
The machines of the city
Next the inner city
6 p.m. whistle
Smiling grimey faces
Low-cut dresses
Tea at the local pub
High-spirited workers
Sizzling neon-lights, click on
This is the city, city of light

The faceless men
The machines of the city
2 a.m. binge
Low-life slagheap
Ramble, shamble on home
Used up and burnt out
Like a kick in the teeth
This is the city, city of light
Grime back in harness
Metal rhythm left and right
