Make For This City

James · The Morning After The Night Before [2010]

Stand at the curbside and watch the world go by

In this town no one looks you in the eye

Where is the place not driven on by time?

Where's the city of dreams, a city made of light?



Where people laugh more than cry

Leave their doors open

Fall in love everyday

Brave hearts get broken



This city aims to love regardless of the bruise

We love and marry any sex or race we choose

Make for this city

Make for this city



On the underground, we all look so worn down

On the circle line forever going 'round

We love our children, not school down, open minds

We learn that happiness is the aim of life



Make for this city

Within our minds

Make for this city

City of light within our minds



Where's the connection to the heart of living?

Where's the connection to life?

The life we are living is unforgiving

Less like a flower than a knife



Where's the connection to heart living?

Where's the flower of life?



We aren't defined by our work and what we own

If you can find your way here, you've made it home

We love and marry any sex or race we choose

There's no one here who use their gods to exclude



Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city

Make for this city
