[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
