Johnny Marr - Summer In The City Lyrics
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Johnny Marr Summer In The City Comments
More please! There’s something almost perfect about Johnson/Marr.
Damn fine cover. Incredible vocals and guitar! PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC TOGETHER YOU TWO.
Johnny Johnson and Matt Marr :-)
I've watched this video about 1000 times, can't get enough of this tune. My favourite version of this song ;-)
Alexa, with a gruff voice sing “Summer in the City”.
The The were always up there in my book. Especially with Marr aboard.
Very cool cover, I liked the change in tempo like hip hop almost from the original. Transported me back to the 60’s. I remembered the words and sang along in parts. Thanks for the memory 💚🙏
Always 🎯
grew up loving this song - great job!
Matt Johnson’s singing is wonderful
Bonne reprise 👍
Love it
This. Rings back so many memories....
Hell yes. Great to see these lads together again.
Thank you so very much! love ya
And this is the reason the should do a covers album! Why not? As soon as both have the time.
Matt's voice still sounds great
What a waste of an opportunity to have these two guys together and come up with with such a crappy cover. :(
dida dida i dont know if its crappy but it is strange. Definitely not what I would expect from them.
Crappy describes it perfectly
Yep. Switched it off after 30 seconds
Love you and Matt together! Marr...Marr...more!
This, ladies and gents, is how to do a cover! None of this "slowing down the song, sexy half talking, half singing" thing that everyone seems to be doing.
Lets hear your cover then.......... oh dear. Now fuck off.
You and Matt need to make another album together. Been nearly 30 years since mind bomb and dusk and we want more. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I LOVE IT !!!!
Great cover
Oh yeah:-)...Mr Johnson's vocal fits like a hand in glove for this tune as Johnny slides smoothly on the end side..
nice pun;)
@Richard Desmond thanks sun!:-)
I was at that gig. Best night of 2018, hoping for a rematch in 2019.
love! I revisited it yesterday at dawn high... I love the v!be rock'n'roll of the 60's... I revisited these more: "you showed me", the byrds; "the sky children", kaleidoscope (uk); "a house is not a motel", love; "tell her no", the zombies; "no more white horses", the please; "stop right there", the hollies, "guide for the married man", the turtle; "i've got something", the left banke etc. okay, thanks for the nostalgic cover. make other precious... goodbye!
Awesome!!!
Awesome
Thank you! Great song.
