Lyrics

New York, New York, Warhol heroes
Walk tall walk and the pavement steam
Cruisin' the streets with De Niro
It's like being in love and it's making me scream
Fly down to Rio Mardi Gras
(Let's go to Rio Mardi Gras)
Hangin' round in your favourite rebel stare
Even Russia's really near
(Even Russia's really near)
So how come we always end up here
Weekends week in week out
Sometimes you think in the long run
Everything will be fine
But quick as you blink there's no long run
Just a slow painful track to the end of the line
Think of Paris in the spring
(Think of Paris in the spring)
Hear those Notre Dam bells ring
How they ring, how they ring, how they ring
Ringing early morning seems a pretty good idea
(Sounds pretty good idea)
So how come we always end up here
Weekends week in week out
Matching the wits of a banker
Scrimp and save to be Victor Kiam
A swan on a beach in Sri Lanka
Just like Duran Duran
So what about me
Repetition reassures me and keeps me clear
But every weekend, week in week out
How come we always end up here
What about me, going nowhere
Weekends week in week out
What about me, going nowhere
Weekends week in week out
What about me, going nowhere
Weekends week in week out
What about me, going nowhere
Weekends week in week out
Time's running out
