Lyrics
Take back the city for yourself tonight
I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa whoa whoa
God knows you've put your life into its hands
And it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa whoa whoa
All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa whoa whoa
No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubt
Whoa whoa whoa
It's a mess
It's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing till you drop
Coz the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa whoa whoa
Take back the city for yourself tonight
I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa whoa whoa
It's a mess
It's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing till you drop
Cos the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always

I saw them play this on a rerun of Jools Holland the other night, and have been absolutely HOOKED on this track. I wasn't a huge Snow Patrol fan, but this song has a driving, rockin' quality that reminds me of Wire or Television--unlike Snow Patrol's more typical emotional ballads that I'd heard previously. This is simply a beautifully written rock song. And those crunchy guitar chords in the bridge get me every time. He's singing about his love for Belfast; I'm similarly "in love" with my home of the last 24 years, San Francisco. I find myself singing this song as I walk the streets of my city--it's a great soundtrack for that!

Finally when she said it was Run by Snow Patrol I started crying because my memory is so effed up now. Anyway I've played Spitting Games + this one my two favourite Snow Patrol songs I won't forget them I promise.
