City Rise is an inner suburb of the New Zealand city of Dunedin. One of the city's older suburbs, it is, as its name suggests, centred on the slopes which lie close to the city centre, particularly those closest to the city's original heart of The Exchange (for this reason, places are said to be on the City Rise rather that in City Rise). Extensive views across the central city can be gained from much of City Rise.
The name City Rise is generally applied to the area immediately to the west of Princes Street, especially to the approximately triangular area of one square kilometre bounded by Princes Street and the city's Town Belt, with Maitland Street and Stuart Street lying at the edge of the area. Some parts of the lower slopes a one time carried the name Fernhill, a term still occasionally encountered to refer to this area. Other notable streets on the City Rise include High Street, Rattray Street, Stafford Street, Arthur Street, Canongate, and Serpentine Avenue. The name City Rise is sometime used to cover a wider area extending further to the north along the inner edge of the town belt from Stuart Street and Moana Pool as far as the stately house Olveston and to the top of Pitt Street.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life
yeah
'cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said: You gotta get up
You gotta get off
you gotta get down
girl.
You know
you drive me crazy
baby
You've got me turning to another man.
Called you on the phone
no one's home -
Baby
why'd you leave me all alone?
And if it wasn't for the music I don't know what I do.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life from a broken heart.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life with a song.
You know I hopped into my car - didn't get very far
I know.
Before I had you on my mind - why be so unkind?
You've got your women all around
all around this town.
But I was trapped in love with you and I didn't know what to do
But then I turned on the radio
found out all I need to know.
- Check it out. -
Last night a D.T. saved my life
. . .
Last night a D.J. saved my life
. . .
listen up to your local D.J. - you better hear what he's got to sa
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
'cause I can do
On the double. And
you don't let it
Trouble your brain
'cause away goes trouble
Down the drain. Said
Away goes trouble down
The drain. - Well
