Taken from Fact And Fiction (Covers & Interpretations 1983​-​2018), released September 4, 2020

Although Dean, who arranged the backing track, knew the song very well, Anastasia did not, which is why the melody lines she created and sung differ from Geoff's original ones. We think it is simply a beautiful reworking of a classic 'TN' song.

lyrics

The abstracted shapes
Of the people's thoughts
Different shops and pubs
All the cheap facades

It is all this city
It is all this city

Wind shaken trees
Half crumbling parks
The enquiring eyes
Fingers parting lace

It is all this city
It is all this city

Long straggling queues
Of the out of work
A baby sucking sweets
Dribbling down his quilt

It is all this city
It is all this city
All this city
