| [00:15.27] |
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life |
| [00:17.51] |
'Cos it's the one we'll never know |
| [00:19.94] |
And quit running for that runaway bus |
| [00:22.19] |
'Cos those Rosey days are few |
| [00:24.33] |
And stop apologizing for the things |
| [00:27.66] |
You've never done |
| [00:29.39] |
'Cos time is short and life is cruel |
| [00:31.62] |
But it's up to us to change |
| [00:33.53] |
This town called Malice |
| [00:43.70] |
Rows and rows of disused milk floats |
| [00:45.70] |
Stand dying in the dairy yard |
| [00:48.11] |
And a hundred lonely housewives |
| [00:50.16] |
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts |
| [00:53.08] |
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry |
| [00:57.62] |
It's enough to make you stop believing |
| [00:59.89] |
When tears come fast and furious |
| [01:01.65] |
In a town called Malice |
| [01:21.65] |
Struggle after struggle year after year |
| [01:26.14] |
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice |
| [01:28.23] |
I'm almost stone cold dead |
| [01:30.04] |
In a town called Malice |
| [01:40.26] |
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef |
| [01:44.84] |
Gets dashed against the coop |
| [01:49.53] |
To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear |
| [01:51.96] |
It's a big decision in a town called Malice |
| [02:11.14] |
Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track |
| [02:15.69] |
It's at the moment bound for nowhere |
| [02:17.83] |
Just going 'round and 'round |
| [02:20.22] |
Playground kids and creaking swings |
| [02:22.78] |
Lost laughter in the breeze |
| [02:24.62] |
I could go on for hours and I probably will |
| [02:26.81] |
But I'd sooner put some joy back |
| [02:28.40] |
In this town called Malice |
| [02:38.04] |
In this town called Malice |
| [02:47.36] |
In this town called Malice |
