1. A rock band from the United Kingdom
2. A rapper from the United States
3. A rapper from the Ghana
1. City Boy was a moderately successful British rock band in the late 1970s, characterised by complex vocal arrangements and heavy guitars. Their most popular songs were 5-7-0-5 and The Day The Earth Caught Fire. Their first five albums were produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
In the early 1970's Lol Mason, Steve Broughton, Max Thomas and Chris Dunn were playing folk music in the Birmingham area. They toured the folk clubs of the Midlands until, towards the end of 1975, they decided to try it the professional way. Meanwhile Broughton had begun to write quite impressive songs. They were offered a recording contract by Phonogram Records on condition that they add drums and electric guitar. This prompted them to recruit Roger Kent and Mike Slamer.
Their first albums failed to impress the audience, although some critics gave quite favourable reviews to City Boy (1975) and Dinner At The Ritz (1976). It was not until 1978, and their hit song 5-7-0-5, and the subsequent album Book Early, that the public realised their potential. The single reached the Top 10 of the British charts and the album scratched the Top 30 of the UK Albums Chart.
They were not really able to repeat their success with their 1979 album, The Day The Earth Caught Fire, and its title song as a single release. After that, Dunn and Broughton left the band, but they had one more mildly successful album with Heads Are Rolling in 1980. Many critics believe this one to be their best, but then their record deal expired. In 1981 one last record, It's Personal, failed to attract any attention, and was only released in Scandinavia. In 1982, the band split up.
The first four of City Boy's albums were on the Vertigo label in Europe and Mercury in the US and Canada. They signed a new record contract with Atlantic Records for the US and Canada commencing with the release of "The Day The Earth Caught Fire"

City Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drunk too much of you
And now you're going into my head
I'm laughing like a fool
You leave me, Speechless
And words I'm rehearsing all day
I caught up in the traffic
There always left unsaid
You leave me , Speechless
Restless, I count every step to the phone
And when I get the nerve to dial when you never home
So here I am alone
I am feeling restless
I want to say
you're unbelievable
But then I got caught
upon my own reply
If I ask you to stay around
to hear what l might say
Would I see the answer in your eyes?
Speechless, I look for the right things to say
Who ever stole my dictionary
and tore out of pages
It happens everyday
You leave me , Speechless
I want to say
you're unbelievable
But then I got caught
upon my own reply
If I ask you to stay around
to hear what l might say
Would I see the answer in your eyes?
Speechless, I know that it all down to you
You see I'm not responsible
I met my full mean,
there's nothing I can do
You leave me , Speechless
The City Boy's song Speechless is a ballad about a man who is lost for words around a woman he is infatuated with. The song begins by expressing his inability to put his emotions into words. With lines like "Speechless, I wish there was something to say", the lyrics convey a sense of frustration with the main character's own inarticulateness. He is deeply affected by the woman, and her presence in his life consumes him.
The lyrics build a narrative around his inability to communicate his emotions effectively. He gets tongue-tied, caught up in traffic, and unable to catch a moment alone with the woman he desires. The lyrics seem to imply that while he cannot understand his own emotions, the woman is equally bewildering to him. Lines like βYou leave me, Speechlessβ describe his awe and astonishment at her leaving him flustered and unable to articulate his affection for her.
The song takes on an introspective quality as the singer asks himself, "If I ask you to stay around to hear what I might say, would I see the answer in your eyes?" Here, the lyrics imagine the potential for the woman to help him articulate his feelings and for him to finally understand her reactions through how they manifest in her expression. Ultimately, however, the song ends with a sense of resignation. The singer accepts that the woman is out of his control and that his feelings are bigger than he knows how to express effectively.
Line by Line Meaning
Speechless, I wish there was something to say
I am at a loss for words
I drunk too much of you
I am overwhelmed by my feelings for you
And now you're going into my head
You are consuming my thoughts
I'm laughing like a fool
You make me happy
You leave me, Speechless
I cannot express how you make me feel
And words I'm rehearsing all day
I am trying to find the right words to say to you
I caught up in the traffic
I am unable to express my feelings clearly
Getting lost on their way
My words are not reaching you
There always left unsaid
My true feelings remain unexpressed
Restless, I count every step to the phone
I am anxious to speak with you
And when I get the nerve to dial when you never home
I am disappointed when I cannot reach you
So here I am alone
I am left to my own thoughts
I want to say you're unbelievable
You are amazing
But then I got caught upon my own reply
I am unsure how you will react to my words
If I ask you to stay around to hear what l might say
Will you listen to me?
Would I see the answer in your eyes?
Will your reaction tell me all I need to know?
Speechless, I look for the right things to say
I am still searching for the right words
Who ever stole my dictionary and tore out of pages
My ability to express myself has been taken away
It happens everyday
I am struggling to express myself
Speechless, I know that it all down to you
You are the cause of my inability to express myself
You see I'm not responsible
It is not my fault
I met my full mean, there's nothing I can do
I have reached my limits
You leave me, Speechless
Once again, I cannot express how you make me feel
