[00:15.07]Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
[00:17.31]'Cos it's the one we'll never know
[00:19.74]And quit running for that runaway bus
[00:21.99]'Cos those Rosey days are few
[00:24.13]And stop apologizing for the things
[00:27.46]You've never done
[00:29.19]'Cos time is short and life is cruel
[00:31.42]But it's up to us to change
[00:33.33]This town called Malice
[00:43.50]Rows and rows of disused milk floats
[00:45.50]Stand dying in the dairy yard
[00:47.91]And a hundred lonely housewives
[00:49.96]Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
[00:52.88]Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
[00:57.42]It's enough to make you stop believing
[00:59.69]When tears come fast and furious
[01:01.45]In a town called Malice
[01:21.45]Struggle after struggle year after year
[01:25.94]The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
[01:28.03]I'm almost stone cold dead
[01:29.84]In a town called Malice
[01:40.06]A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
[01:44.64]Gets dashed against the coop
[01:49.33]To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
[01:51.76]It's a big decision in a town called Malice
[02:10.94]Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
[02:15.49]It's at the moment bound for nowhere
[02:17.63]Just going 'round and 'round
[02:20.02]Playground kids and creaking swings
[02:22.58]Lost laughter in the breeze
[02:24.42]I could go on for hours and I probably will
[02:26.61]But I'd sooner put some joy back
[02:28.20]In this town called Malice
[02:37.84]In this town called Malice
[02:47.16]In this town called Malice
