All The Pretty Girls Go To The City
Spoon · Kill the Moonlight [2002]
all the pretty girls go to the city
don't they don't they do my love
oh it's something to see they're so pretty
high heel shoes low neck sweaters acting so tough
hear em go do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
and they know that they'll make it alright
I say don't they now don't they now don't they my love
don't they now don't they now don't they my love
jacqueline and beth went to the city now
left home soon as they were old enough
cause all the pretty girls go to the city now
don't they don't they do don't they do that my love
and they go do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
I said I don't they now don't they now don't they my love
don't they now don't they now don't they my love
don't they don't they do my love
oh it's something to see they're so pretty
high heel shoes low neck sweaters acting so tough
hear em go do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
and they know that they'll make it alright
I say don't they now don't they now don't they my love
don't they now don't they now don't they my love
jacqueline and beth went to the city now
left home soon as they were old enough
cause all the pretty girls go to the city now

and they go do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
do d-do d-do
I said I don't they now don't they now don't they my love
don't they now don't they now don't they my love
All The Pretty Girls Go To The City
Released on Spoon's 2002 album Kill the Moonlight, this track exemplifies the band's signature blend of jangly guitars and introspective lyrics. The song captures a specific moment of urban observation, reflecting on the transient nature of relationships and the movement of people in the city. It serves as a quintessential example of the indie-rock sound that defined Spoon during the early 2000s, balancing melodic accessibility with a grounded, conversational tone. The recording features the band's characteristic interplay between rhythm and melody, creating a cohesive listening experience that remains a staple of their discography.
