    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

    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.

    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!
