The City All to Himself Lyrics

Lyric discussion by part-time punk 

Cover art for The City All to Himself lyrics by Eux Autres

The title comes from a story in Italo Calvino's book "Marcovaldo, or The Seasons in the City" where the main character wanders the empty streets of his city while all the other inhabitants are away on their Summer holiday. Seasons in the city is also part of the song's lyrics so I'm curious about this book being an inspiration for it.
