[00:16.90] Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
[00:20.86] Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
[00:24.92] The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain
[00:33.17] While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes
[00:36.94] Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
[00:41.26] Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
[00:49.74] I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books
[00:55.49] And crackling vinyl
[00:57.58] And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
[01:05.57] Don't you cry for the lost
[01:07.72] Smile for the living
[01:09.59] Get what you need and give what you'r given
[01:13.47] Life's for the living so live it
[01:16.95] Or you're better of dead
[01:34.62] While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
[01:38.26] Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
[01:42.28] We needed a nail but wetacked it 'til it fell off the wall
[01:50.62] While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
[01:54.76] The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
[01:58.65] And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
[02:06.95] And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
[02:10.80] Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
[02:14.93] With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
[02:23.26] Don't you cry for the lost
[02:25.42] Smile for the living
[02:27.49] Get what you need and give what you'r given
[02:31.25] Life's for the living so live it
[02:34.72] Or you're better of dead
[03:08.52] Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
[03:12.52] They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
[03:16.24] You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
[03:20.98] Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
[03:28.77] I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
[03:32.94] Someday someone must be going my way home
[03:40.92] Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car
[03:45.08] With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars
[03:49.04] And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
[03:57.37] Don't you cry for the lost
[03:59.72] Smile for the living
[04:01.60] Get what you need and give what you'r given
[04:05.45] You know life's for the living so live it
[04:08.81] Or you're better of dead
[04:14.13] Don't you cry for the lost
[04:16.19] Smile for the living
[04:18.52] Get what you need and give what you'r given
[04:23.44] Life's for the living so live it
[04:28.17] Or you're better of dead
