City Boy - Interrupted Melody Lyrics


City Boy Lyrics

Interrupted Melody Lyrics
Bright young woman came running from home

With her life in her hands 'cause they gave her such a

bad time


Just a part-time lover and a full-time wife

With her heart in the dark and her head out in the

daylight


Every small-town mother had a rumour on her lips

"I could tell she was trash from her head to her

fingertips


Now and again when she disagreed

It was an interrupted melody


Shame was a runner for the lady to beat

It left a fire in her belly and a pain in her feet


Friends can be found on the lowest avenue

You never ask for a name when they offer you a lean-to


Now and again when she disagreed

It was an interrupted melody


Working the week-end--Tricks in the park

Over exposure--meat for the sharks

Turn out the headlights--Pull up the car

Business for pleasure--life after dark


There was Willie the Man with his wallet and charm

He left a smile on her face and a mark in her arm


And every Saturday night when the girls gave their

best

He was hustling trade for the kid from out West


Now and again when she disagreed

Just an interrupted melody


One thing she learned was never give It away

They can take what they want just as long as they pay



Now all that remains of that small-town life

Is a letter from home and a look in her eye


Now and again when she disagreed

It was an interrupted melody


Working the week-end--Tricks In the park

Over exposure--
