You spend your time in smokey rooms |
|
where haggled old women with cheap perfume say |
|
"it never happens for people like us you know" |
|
well nothing ever happened on it's own |
|
and well the toilets smell of desperation |
|
the streets all echo of aggregation |
|
and you wonder |
|
why you cant get no sleep |
|
when you've got nothing to do, |
|
and you've had nothing to eat |
|
your life's slipping |
|
and sliding right out of view |
|
and there's absolutely nothing |
|
that you can do, well |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
|
Dirty dishes from a tv meal |
|
that went cold from the wind |
|
through a smashed up window |
|
You cant go out if anybody calls ya |
|
cos you cant have a bath |
|
when there's no hot water |
|
and your friends are out |
|
on the town again |
|
and you ask yourself if it will ever end |
|
and it's all too much for your head to take |
|
just a matter of time before you break, well |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
|
Now... |
|
Now... |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
|
We'll live and die, |
|
We'll live and die in these towns |
|
Don't let it drag you down |
|
Don't let it drag you down now |
