Big City Night Lyrics - Now Then - Stiff Little Fingers

Stop and go on an empty crossing 

The lights keep changing to only their hum 

And standing in line along the kerb 

The binbags 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? 

[Chorus] 

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 care about you 

They never even think about you 

'Cause 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 'cause 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 wasn't you 

[Chorus] 

Just another big city night 

Who's it gonna be tonight?
