City Wrecker

Jenny Lee, Montreal was never the same once you were gone

Jenny Lee, you should know the city fell into a sort of boring ruin

And so we leave Montreal and so the wild mother we once knew

Jenny Lee, I know that my behaviour was probably partly why you turned into a blade of grass and a blade of steel

I was a city wrecker then

I was a city wrecker then, I was a city wrecker then

I was the eye pointed in

That was 2009-or-so, I am still a city wrecker now

Now

And now you live back with the anglophones

And I am where my lover needed me to go

And I love her, so I step onto the ice

While you possess the common sense to demand paradise

My lover, bless her patient heart

Deep down, I know this town's not as bad as I pretend

I am a city wrecker, then

I am a city wrecker, then, I am a city wrecker, then

I am the eye pointed in

It is 2000-and-whatever, I am still a city wrecker but a different kind of wrecker

I am a different kind of wrecker, singing "la-la-la-la-la"s

I step onto the ice

It is 2000-and-whatever, I am still a city wrecker now

Now

Now
