Billy Idol - Hot In The City Lyrics






Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger

It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night

'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's

[Refrain]
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Stranger, stranger

For all the dreams and schemes,
people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night

A sometime someone you're not
Don't wait to see what you got
'Cause you know that you're

[Refrain]

We'll walk until my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Yeah, lay right down now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops
I will move with the beat now
I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb
I'm a ribbon in the heat now
New York!

[Refrain, repeat to fade]

  19. D.... C....

    Why do I always think he's having a wank behind the screen?

  20. G.... R....

    You know it's 80's when they start to point at YOU 👩‍🎤👈

  21. T.... B....

    A really forward thinking fusion of new wave, hard rock, and classic rock. It could almost be a Springsteen song.

  22. P.... S....

    I can't even stop listening to this song!...
    still no1..

  23. S.... �....

    3:56 *pot pot pot pot pot pot pot pot*

  24. R.... S....

    I love this song volume all the way up 😆

  25. s.... ....

    The best part is how the synth slides into the snare like cymbal. You can't recreate this without the vintage synth.

  26. s.... ....

    This song is basically incredibly good. The best part is that he sings good in English but with a heavy accent on a pop rock synth wave hybrid. This has a somewhat comical vibe to it and goes hard.

  27. e.... ....

    I totally get why fangirls were super hardcore back in the day. I would be right there beside them going crazy 🤟💋

  28. A.... P....

    Heaven's place = Billy's party

  46. J.... J....

  47. G.... A....

    this song kinda sounds like radio gaga from Queen

  48. B.... ....

    Me an 80s teen, it was huge!

  49. M.... ....

    Could always count on that bass in a Billy Idol song

    Billy Idol was a big impact to making the 80's the great decade of music that it was.

  96. J.... M....

    I like the first arrangement from 1982 of the song better, with the girls opening the song. From wikipedia: There are two versions of the video. The first version (the 1982 version) starts off with a girl walking into a record store. She picks up a Billy Idol record and the song starts to play. The video features scenes from New York City, interspersed with stock footage of nuclear bomb tests. The second version(this one) (the 1987 version) was banned by MTV because it showed Idol's then-girlfriend Perri Lister bound to a cross toward the end of the video. Although the released version of the song has Idol shouting "New York!", other versions of the song were recorded for various radio stations, including ones for such cities as "Amarillo", "Boston", "Minneapolis", "New Haven", "Chattanooga", and "Sioux Falls". The song peaked at a pretty good no. 23 on the US Bilboard Hot 100 chart . Idol seemed to have a fetish for girls getting spanked, which show up yet again on this video.
