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
#SnowPatrol
I wish Snow Patrol had the same level of recognition/fame as Coldplay, Oasis, OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons etc
WoooOoowooOOH
BANGER
Popped into the supermarket for some brown rice and this tune was pumping out. I'd completely forgotten about it but now it's gone right back to the top of my playlist.
An awesome tune that makes me smile a lot. Thank you brown rice and thank you Woolworths!
Lol I know the song is 6 years but brown rice in woolworth ? Lol in germany our woolworths are selling only home things toys and repair decorations for cars/bikes no foods
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 Woolworths is a supermarket chain in Australia
Woolworths in the Uk shut down years ago
Damn, now I miss Woolworths
RIP Woolworths
Great tunes never age. This is one of them.
This is My favourite snow patrol track
Take back the city tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of their best songs. It's a love letter to Belfast.
Video filmed in London though, and it's very obviously London.
@@theblindfoldep No really? You sure?
yeoo belfasttt
Is it a letter bomb ?
@@theblindfoldep no its Belfast. We had the song in the school a few day ago.
I love the energy that kicks in during the chorus
I ❤how theirs like, 3 choruses 🤭
So You Know About The Kicks to The Face Whilst I Was passed Out HOW FAIR A FIGHT
The QUITAR in the chorus tho. That’s one of my favourite parts of any song ever.
Sang this whilst hammered in a massively chock-a-bloc pub in Wallsend and the crowd sang along with me to the chorus; it was all it took not to cry.
Mark Jackson it’s very anthemic so everyone joins in despite being hammered lol
That must of been brilliant xx
thanks em.
Just remembered this song. BANGER, their best imo
I love the way they sing their harmonies
It’s a beautiful blend of voices,
One of my favorite songs ever
Gary Lightbody... keep doing what you do mate... we are many who love it.
Frantzen79 indeed. We love him as much as we love the whole band. Cheers.
I love how Gary managed to look perpetually surprised throughout this whole video
Woah - I seriously loved this tune back in the day. Reminds me of a lost connection I still sadly miss & regret. For some reason it popped up on some random playlist today & here I now am smiling but deeply missing the one I let go of. Such a great great tune.
Snow Patrol >
This song makes me feel safe for some reason.
Nothing like a tuna sandwich, a can of coke and monging out to some Snow Patrol
because it's about being home after being away for a while, the band formed at Uni in Dundee but are Belfast lads,i think that inspired the song
😂😂😅@@mandel94
Still loving it guys ❤️
Absolutely Great, this Song!!!!!!
"One perfect partner, one eternal kiss"... beautiful line. I love the whole song. I love all their songs.
Amazing song and band. Love this guy's voice.
I remember at the SSE arena on the 8th of December in 2018 they opened with this and Gary could step away from the mic at times and everyone seemed to be filling in for him
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!
+Andrea Waterstreet I didn't like this song at first, but it's actually a good song, and it has a very obvious Foo Fighters vibe. :) The same chords, the sudden stops in the chorus...
A brilliant band.
Such Powerful Volumes In This;
* Take Back The
City *
Track.
I had Janice Long on the radio + she was playing an unknown song + I thought this is brilliant but what is it. I couldn't effing remember who it was. 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.
Snow Patrol have sold millions of their albums worldwide, they're not exactly unknown. They deserve all the attention, of course.
Hahah I love those faces of Gary's, he's so charming! Absolutely in love with this song
I LOVE this song, it always puts me in a good mood.
Best song of the last 25 years. Fair play boys!
The atmosphere at their City Hall gig in Belfast last night was UNBELIEVABLE! It'll never feel the same played anywhere else, ya know, cos it's about Belfast and last night it felt 100 times better than NYC or Paris or anywhere >
This song should’ve been way bigger.
Thank you Lord this song's chorus has been going around in my head for months.
Forgot about this one. Heard it on the radio there the other day, great tune.
THANK YOU SNOW PATROL. I LOVE U EVERMORE
this was the best song ever to hear live at the mtv emas 2011 free concert :) Gary is such a legend >
Here in Southern USA we never have any snow, but we love Snowpatrol!!!!!
I Love Snow patroll. My favorite single.
AAAAYYY BADA BING BADA BOOM
KTCL DENVER BOULDER 2007
This one makes me feelgood,,,allways !!!!!
I have never actually taken back the city anywhere I went but riding in the backseat of an uber listening to this sure gets me close to taking it back!!
Snow Patrol #1 biggest fan here! in Venezuela !
LOVE Snow Patrol!! Absolutely ADORE this song and video except for when Gary looks at the camera he reminds me of a frightened squirrel!!
😎😁😁
Ok, would people stop saying they are ''Irish''
They are freaking NORTHERN Irish and we are proud of them
pride of Belfast!!
I love this song. Describes how I feel about my own home city. A lot of people like bashing it, but I love it anyway
SNOW PATROL - What can I say.....the best group I've heard in years.
Repertoire immense, and every song a winner.
This track I love because it reminds of the BYRDS.
Keep them comin' guys.
Robin Topping, Mauchline Ayrshire.
Epic song. Such a strong and good feeling
Belfast there's no other city like it!
I don't know if the stop-motion animation represents anything in this video, but it's sure a damn good example of how to use it effectively. Same goes for the music, it's such an amazing piece. It's clearly about my glorious city of Stettin.
One of my favourites from this album
The Best music of Snow Patrol.
Amo essa música!!!
those 4 chords in that chorus have been playing in my head for months i heard this song in store and looked like a complete boon trying to shazam the speaker to find out who it is. Should have known better to be honest SP are awesome
dobby240 SP are so cool ever since
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Amo essa música
I saw this song live a week ago, they are AWESOME, Gary is so adorable :')
Belfast ftw!
Love snow boyz
Gary looksdifferent in every video lol we literally watched him age throughout the years and just get better and better
We need more quality bands like these in this climate of manufactured shite.
I think bands like this never won't be back anymore
luis romeri i think so, but SP is back.
Here here, well said. Love Snow Patrol ❄️ xx
I know. It all seemed to end soon after this great song. I grew up in 60s with byrds stones and Beatles. At 74. I really dig this band.
This is my favorite song ever, I wish they make more songs like it in their next album.
Happy St Patrick's Day
Gary pulls some funny ass faces when he sings. Epic song though.
anyone in 2019? c'omon, 10 years of taking back the city! 🙃c'omon people!!
Absolutely top
woahhhhh ohhhhhhhhh woahhhh
love this song!.. take back the city tonight
Need this anthem today.
Definitely!
This song always makes me think that I’m in the intro of a sitcom or just a regular TV show so I dress to impress myself pretty much
omg! he's just gorgeous! I love their songs, ergo i love them!
I love the 'Vibe' of this song !! Oh, and GL can do no wrong, ...in my book !!!! Helluva musician- Singer/Songwriter....☆☆☆☆☆ ♡
Such a beautiful song makes me proud to have grown up in County Down
Not normally a Snow Patrol fan, love this song.
I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN~!
Every time I hear this song I get so energy filled! It's like I'm born on new again! :D
Always remind me of Southampton, my adopted home town. I love the place I had some many great years there.
Un des plus grand groupe de Rock
Love this song. Quality musicians
2:18 is my dad he's actually hammered😂
Met G.Lb!! But didn’t know who he was. Lovely guy. He then went on stage and gave me a personal nod!!!! What about ya!!!
You beat me you shot me
i love the city tonight !!!!♥♥♥ espectacular,hace que lo común se vuelva interesante !!!

ITS A MESS!!! ITS A START!!!! ITS A FLAAAAWED WORK OF ART!!!
Northern Ireland's UNREAL!!
I am seeing them on May 3rd here in Toronto. (EEK!!)
Just learning every damn lyric-nothing else on my playlist.
I am 61 and am just _banging my head_ with this blasting as I do chores. Brilliant lyrics.
Wise beyond his years. ♥♥♥
Love Belfast born there. Went back in 06. Awesome city.
i love the city in the night, i dont know why, i find it kinda beautiful, the urban night, i see some magic in it, the empty streets, and that orange-like, color, from the light poles =D
Soundtrack to my first solo trip to Europe at 25!
Wrote this for Belfast. OH YESSSSS.
This song always gives me a lift , I love a wee ode to one's hometown , just like simple minds did many years b4 about Glasgow with my all time fav song waterfront.
I like this song more than chasing cars.
Wildboy5699 chasing cars is my least favourite song of SP
GEORGE MATKIN take back the city is my favorite SP song
I like it because is more rock than their others songs that are pop rock
@@georgematkin2658 I Agree, good to know there are other people like me!
@@Wildboy5699 for me its Called Out In The Dark but I definitely agree with you its much better than Chasing Cars
Love this song still years later
why isnt this song more popular, because it's a damn good song!
next month in my country !!!
YESSSSSSSSS
Muy Buena Canción

Woúúwoúáá!!
This is why i love England
