Story behind the song
JUST A SONG ABOUT LIFE IN THE CITY
Lyrics
Get Real Sittin' on the north bank / Facing to the south Chewin' on a blade of grass / That dangles from my mouth I got my fishin' pole and I got my ciggarettes I got a fine fishin' hole and I got myself..you know It's so crazy in the city It's so crazy where we live You say the city is a fine place No it isn't my place Working 9 to 5 every single day Come on get real Slappin' the alarm clock / Every Monday morning Lookin' out the window / Thunder..Lightning..Stormin' Jump on the expressway / Get stuck in traffic every day Tryin' to figure out wy I didn't move to the river and stay Its so crazy in the city Its so crazy where we live You say the city is a fine place Live among the human race Come on baby get get, come on baby get get .. get real Punch in on the time clock / Seven thirty tick tock Day in day out never stop / screw that i just want to rock Get to meet the bossman / Am I good or am I canned This isn't what I had in my mind when I made my plans (chorus) Lyrics and Music written and performed by: Danny Horton copyright 1991

Great tune through and through, high energy groove, wonderful vocal work as always, poignant message. Feel this way with every visit to Vermont, truly relaxed and happy, with daily worries and the hectic grind put aside. Excellent work my friend.

Hi Dan, Great driving tune and your usual awesome production and mix. Love the backup vocals too; kind of brings to mind Ball Of Confusion...

Danny, This a good driving rock song. I'd play this one driving to the coast to go fishing, leaving the rat race to the rats. Good job on the vocals, guitar and bass. Keep the music coming! Peace be with you
This song has grown on me! The more I hear it the more I like it, great groove... MC

Hmmmm, somethings wrong here.....not enuff stars to properly RATE this song!!! Well dude, would like to give you 10stars across the board for this tune, but SC only supplies 5. Wow, I'm so so glad I made it back to your songs for a play, SC has sucked past few weeks, but tonight is workin. Love this lil rocker! Great rhythm, makes me feel like I'm in typing class a bit, but hell can't help but tap your feet or hands when you hear this. Nice rhythm, great guitars, like the layers you got goin on, and nice vocals. Can't wait to hear more of your tunes, overall great production, keep up the great work. ~strummergurl~

Another excellent song...the lyrics supply vivid imagery for the mind. This would make a superb vid. Killer bassline groove,drums & some sweet lead work spinning around in the production. Also liked the vocals and background vocals. We can relate to the storyline :) :) Peace through music...guitars not guns!

Some songs have that indefinable magic and a great "feel" to them. This is one of those songs! Everything about it works perfectly. Great sound/style!

I like very much the arrangement of basic guit-bass-drums, full of creativity. As well as a flavour of Peter Gabriel in middle part. I found this flavour in some others of your songs, ain't you keep your own pretty style ;)
