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 behavior 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
