Gene (formed 1993, disbanded 2004) were a British indie/rock quartet who rose to prominence in the mid-90s. They were popularly labelled as a Britpop band and often drew somewhat superficial comparisons to The Smiths, if only because of their slightly Morrissey-esque lead singer, Martin Rossiter. In truth, Gene's music owes more to acts as diverse as The Jam, The Small Faces, The Style Council, and The Clash, to name a few. Gene comprised Matt James (drummer), Kevin Miles (bassist), Steve Mason (guitarist) and Martin Rossiter (singer, keyboards). now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

To The City Lyrics

Gene

Onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
I've seen this all before
I know what can happen
When you're honest and true
It's too late to change now
Your years flew too soon.
I've seen this all before
And more.
YOu found the right cliff top
For saying goodbye
As life swung its elbow
And spat in your eye
I've seen this all before
And more.
So onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
Yes, I've seen this all before
And more
