Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all.
Here in the streets so mechanised
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didn't want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fucking strange
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin' it ain't easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
And the hours they ran slow
I said everynight she just can't stop sayin'
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
Well, kill me now, I let you down
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
Stop
Yes I'm leavin'
'Cause it just won't work
They act like Romans
But they dress like Turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin' it ain't easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
Oh!
Trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter
I got to come clean
The authorities they've seen
darling I'm somewhere in between
I said everynight every night, I just can't stop sayin'
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart

It's a dissappointment that this was left off of the CDs. Stupid record label.  | | 06-01-2005 22:53 yeyeah0158 |

| Ah, yes. And I love it because it mentions my name. Sort of. Some people call me Nina. Friends call me Gee though.  | | 15-03-2005 23:01 cairowinters |

| I Love this song! I love it when Julian says:
Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all.
He's voice is so sexy..

This is one of my favourite songs by The Strokes. Loving Julian's voice at the beginning  .
To sort out any confusion, NYC Cops appears as track 9 on the U.K. versions of Is This It. However, it was decided not to include it in the U.S. version after 9/11, to avoid offending anybody, so they replaced it. | | 18-05-2005 20:17 roomonfire |

this song includes one of the best strokes guitar solo, a nice drum solo, great melody, etc etc, i think it's their best song !! the one who have " when it started " instead of this one can be disappointed...!!! | | 05-03-2006 22:10 Masterful_Ally |

| I think this is still my favourite ever Strokes song, haven't listened to them in aged and it just came on random on my playlisty  . Although it wasnt removed off my album? I bought the 'Is This It' album the week it was released I think, in the U.K, and this is track 09. | | 22-10-2006 21:05 Silverswan75 |

| The only thing that annoys me about this song is that it's quieter than the rest of the album when really it should be louder. I have to turn the volume up just for this song. | | 22-10-2006 21:08 Silverswan75 |
