	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song about Glasgow over the course of about 4 days. I had just completed it and was trying to imagine the video that would go with it. I pictured scenes of a busy city street in New York with yellow cabs, lots of people etc, and an Army moving through the city as if in a battle field. The next day, 9/11 happened .... Lyrics I’ve got a City for you Somehow you’ve got to get through You’ve got to break out if you can Got a ticket to the world with a master plan Tell me that you’ve never heard About this place Always taken at your word Now you’re a disgrace I’ve got a City I’ve got a City for you It’s nothing pretty But I’ve got a City for you Call me if you make it to the other side somehow Just to prove that dreams are still alive, right now I’ve been listening on the air trying to hear a sign There’s nothing but static coming down the line You know there’s something in the walk says, don’t mess around You know there’s something in the talk, like the wrong side of town I’ve got a City I’ve got a City for you It’s nothing pretty But I’ve got a City for you And you’ve got to live out in the rain All your friends say your insane Been living in the City for a thousand years All those mixed up colours will bring is tears I’ve got a City I’ve got a City for you It’s nothing pretty But I’ve got a City for you
