There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And it's all right, baby it's all right And it's very far away But it's growing day by day And it's all right, baby it's all right Would you like to come along? And you could help me sing this song And it's all right, baby it's all right They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And it's all right, baby it's all right |

This was one of my favorite videos to play when I used to DJ a new wave night. What a great band. |

I didn't know Lethem wrote one of those. He has a little segment devoted to "Fear of Music" in his book "The Disappointment Artist." |

I pretty much grew up with these guys playing somewhere or another in the background, it's not until I sit and think about it though that I realize how much of their music I loved. it's somewhat fashionable, with any era of teens, to disregard some of the more mainstream type hits of legendary bands, but there were definite reasons for them being hits... this song was like that I think. |
