New York City

Big City Love Song (sung to the Cheers theme)

A little anthem for all my ex-pat Toronto friends living further afield:

Making your way in a small town today

Takes the least amount you've got

Getting the f&*k out of there for awhile

Sure would help a lot

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where no one knows your name

And no one’s glad you came

You want to be where you can ignore 

Your paltry troubles that are so lame

You want to be where nobody knows your name

Climbing the walls when folks calls

You've lost your solitude again

And the more you're out and about

The more you want to hide from friends

When you long to hear no hello

Roll out of bed, hope no one cares 

The morning's looking bright

And you long for anonymity  

But damn – you volunteered to write

And your husband wants to go to Home Depot

Be glad there's a place in the world

Where no one knows your name

And they don’t care you came

You want to go where people know

People are immune to fame

You want to go where no one knows your name

Where no one knows your name

And they don’t care you came

Where no one knows your name

And they don’t care you came

etc..
