| 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 behaviour 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 |
