Back In Love City Lyrics
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Now we're back in love city
[Verse 1]
It's written in the stars
And our cars have all been keyed
If you don't speak the language
It's impossible to read
Our destiny's waiting
And our fate is on the phone
Saying, "Don't forget your papers
For the satisfaction zone"
[Verse 2]
Can't find the truth
If you don't know where it grows
It's as rare as real pleasure
And celebrities at shows
There are things I never told you
'Cause I haven't got the guts
But I hope it doesn't matter
Ready now
Ready now
The world knows I'm in love with you
Ready now, oh
[Chorus]
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
[Refrain]
So we're saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
[Verse 3]
I drink to drown my sorrows
But they always learn to swim
Thank you very much
Yes, I am a little thin
When I exorcise my demons
I just take them to the gym
But I hope it doesn't matter
Seven years sober
Couldn't give you up for Lent
So I never even questioned
If your cookies had consent
I acted on an urge
Now I sit here and lament
But I hoped it wouldn't matter
[Bridge]
Ready now
Ready now
The world knows I'm in love with you
Ready now, oh
[Chorus]
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
[Refrain]
So we're saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love 'cause we spent it all on you
We can't buy love
[Refrain]
So we're saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city
Saving up, now we're back in love city

I literally swapped lives with a stranger. I lived in house and drove his car while he lived in mine, but we’d never met and had no previous connections. In some obvious ways we’re more connected than ever,” Young explains. “But we’re also more polarised than we’ve been for 100 years and the world is getting colder. What if there was a place where love and other emotions had run dry – but you could go to Love City to get them?
We were trying to write something that was kind of garage-y and a little punky but had more of a disco or fun groove to it. The first verse, I’m singing about arriving in Love City. I always remember driving, a few years ago, from San Francisco to Vegas with some friends, taking all day. Just as we were pulling into Vegas, the sun was going down and the neon lights were firing up. I imagine this song existing in quite a similar space. It’s the beginning of the story.
