[00:14.07]Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
[00:16.31]'Cos it's the one we'll never know
[00:18.74]And quit running for that runaway bus
[00:20.99]'Cos those Rosey days are few
[00:23.13]And stop apologizing for the things
[00:26.46]You've never done
[00:28.19]'Cos time is short and life is cruel
[00:30.42]But it's up to us to change
[00:32.33]This town called Malice
[00:42.50]Rows and rows of disused milk floats
[00:44.50]Stand dying in the dairy yard
[00:46.91]And a hundred lonely housewives
[00:48.96]Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
[00:51.88]Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
[00:56.42]It's enough to make you stop believing
[00:58.69]When tears come fast and furious
[01:00.45]In a town called Malice
[01:20.45]Struggle after struggle year after year
[01:24.94]The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
[01:27.03]I'm almost stone cold dead
[01:28.84]In a town called Malice
[01:39.06]A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
[01:43.64]Gets dashed against the coop
[01:48.33]To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
[01:50.76]It's a big decision in a town called Malice
[02:09.94]Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
[02:14.49]It's at the moment bound for nowhere
[02:16.63]Just going 'round and 'round
[02:19.02]Playground kids and creaking swings
[02:21.58]Lost laughter in the breeze
[02:23.42]I could go on for hours and I probably will
[02:25.61]But I'd sooner put some joy back
[02:27.20]In this town called Malice
[02:36.84]In this town called Malice
[02:46.16]In this town called Malice
