Safe in New York City

From AC/DC Wiki

Safe In New York City is a song by popular hard rock group AC/DC. It is found on their 2000 album Stiff Upper Lip. The song is also a single.

The video to the song, directed by Andy Morahan, shows the band playing a busy tunnel in the city, surrounded and guarded by a lot of armed police guards.

The song itself is about a man's journey through New York City (probably at night) and identifying it as a scary place. The first verse is about the man trying to convince a female companion to accompany him. The second discusses the potential risks associated with going through the city, and the third describes an approach from a local woman wearing "tight assed jeans".

The track gained poignancy after 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.

[edit] Lyrics

Come on little baby, gimme your hand

Check out the high spots, the lay of the land

You don't need a rocket or a big limousine

Ooh come on over baby and I'll make you obscene

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

All over the city and down to the dives

Don't mess with this place, it'll eat you alive

Got a lip smackin' honey to soak up the jam

On top of the world, ma, ready to slam

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

Movin' all over like a jumpin' bean

Take a look at that thing in the tight ass jean

Comin' your way now, you may be in luck

Don't you fret, boy, she's ready to buck

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

New York, New York, New York

I feel safe in a cage in New York City
