Story Behind the Song
Ken and Ron came up with the idea and initial lyrics for this song while walking home one night. They finished the lyrics off the next day. Ken and Ron came up with the initial music. Ken and Mike worked out the final details which ended up in the final version. Ken and Mike came up with this song's "intro" which was later dubbed "Rumble Chorus". Ron originally sang this song. He left the band shortly before the recording was done. Ken sings this song in the version online. This song was recorded in an unfinished basement using a portable tape player/recorder - hence the quality of the recording. It was done in one take.
Lyrics
Street light, shines bright, in the city
Late night, big fight, in the city
Big fight, lotsa might, in the city
(Chorus)
But I'm home alone
Hoping you will come
To my house
In the city
Gangs meet, feel the heat, in the city
Fists fly, beneath the sky, in the city
Gun shot, who shot the cop, in the city
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
Black out, everyone shouts, in the city
Windows smashed, stolen cash, in the city
Big bust, that's enough, in the city
(Repeat Chorus)
Street light, shines bright, in the city
