Heartbeat Of The City Lyrics & Chords By Wild Willy Barrett

Down in a cellar a poker player calls
Out on the waste-ground another sucker crawls
Somewhere in the alley a frightened woman bawls
Down in the dockyards another victim falls
And you feel the Heartbeat of the City
Oh yes it's fighting just to stay alive
Rats get fat in the city
Only the fittest, only the fittest ever survive
Down in the workhouse a mindless worker sighs
Prayers in the prison a first offender fries
On a rich mans doorstep a hungry baby cries
Like trash in the gutter a homeless drunkard lies
And you feel the Heartbeat of the City
Oh yes it's fighting just to stay alive
Rats get fat in the city
Only the fittest, only the fittest ever survive
And you feel the Heartbeat of the City
Oh yes it's fighting just to stay alive
Rats get fat in the city
Only the fittest, only the fittest ever survive
