Stiff Little Fingers - Big City Night lyrics

Stop and go on an empty crossing

The lights keep changing to only their hum

And standing in line along the kerb

The bin bags wait till the morning comes

You hear yourself walk echo lonely

See shadows move in every door

Are you sure that's your own footsteps behind?

Is there really nothing to turn round for?

And you feel that you're always gonna walk

The city streets all on your own

The night is dark as a car crawls by

And the road goes on and on

They don't even care about you

They never even think about you

'Cos they're gonna do without you and you're gone

Just another big city night

Over your shoulder, round every corner

Remember what's happened to people you've known

Watch for yourself, 'cos no one else will

You're gonna get it if you're alone

Suddenly a stab from a knife out of nowhere

Jumped from behind like they always do

It only makes one line in the paper you read

Somebody got it but it was you

And you feel that you're always gonna walk

The city streets all on your own

The night is dark as a car crawls by

And the road goes on and on

They don't even care about you

They never even think about you

'Cos they're gonna do without you and you're gone

Just another big city night

Just another big city night

Who's it gonna be tonight?
