City Song Lyrics

Cover art for City Song lyrics by Lindisfarne

The narrator here is obviously more than sick of the place where he's lived, and this song seems to be his final kiss-off to the town, its residents, and probably his boss and job. It's also possible that he's just plain sick of life and this is a suicide note, since he mentions going back to the garden where the magic children play, which sounds like a vision of the afterlife or something like that.
