Take Back The City est le dernier single de Snow Patrol.

L'album A Hundred Million Suns, de Snow Patrol, est dans les bacs depuis le mois d'octobre.
Gary Lightbody, le leader du groupe parle du single Take Back The City :

Elle a été inspirée par Belfast et l’Irlande du Nord en général mais ça peut être au sujet de n’importe quelle ville et de la relation que chacun entretient avec l’endroit d’où il vient. Ça parle des raisons pour lesquelles j’ai grandi en ne comprenant pas bien mon pays et des raisons pour lesquelles je l’aime tant aujourd’hui. L’endroit d’où nous venons (et c’est parfois simplement en le repoussant) a un grand impact sur le type de personne que nous devenons.

Paroles Snow Patrol - Take Back The City (Lyrics)

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life into it's hands
And it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records in words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love this place enough to know i have no doubts
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your a call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
