[00:14.37]Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
[00:16.61]'Cos it's the one we'll never know
[00:19.04]And quit running for that runaway bus
[00:21.29]'Cos those Rosey days are few
[00:23.43]And stop apologizing for the things
[00:26.76]You've never done
[00:28.49]'Cos time is short and life is cruel
[00:30.72]But it's up to us to change
[00:32.63]This town called Malice
[00:42.80]Rows and rows of disused milk floats
[00:44.80]Stand dying in the dairy yard
[00:47.21]And a hundred lonely housewives
[00:49.26]Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
[00:52.18]Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
[00:56.72]It's enough to make you stop believing
[00:58.99]When tears come fast and furious
[01:00.75]In a town called Malice
[01:20.75]Struggle after struggle year after year
[01:25.24]The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
[01:27.33]I'm almost stone cold dead
[01:29.14]In a town called Malice
[01:39.36]A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
[01:43.94]Gets dashed against the coop
[01:48.63]To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
[01:51.06]It's a big decision in a town called Malice
[02:10.24]Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
[02:14.79]It's at the moment bound for nowhere
[02:16.93]Just going 'round and 'round
[02:19.32]Playground kids and creaking swings
[02:21.88]Lost laughter in the breeze
[02:23.72]I could go on for hours and I probably will
[02:25.91]But I'd sooner put some joy back
[02:27.50]In this town called Malice
[02:37.14]In this town called Malice
[02:46.46]In this town called Malice
