歌曲 | Town Called Malice - Original Live Version |
歌手 | The Jam |
专辑 | Live Jam |
作曲 : Paul Weller | |
作词 : Paul Weller | |
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life | |
'Cause it's the one we'll never know | |
And quit running for the runaway bus | |
'Cause those rosey days are few | |
And...stop apologising for the things you've never done | |
'Cause time is short and life is cruel | |
But it's up to us to change | |
This town called Malice | |
Rows and rows of disused milk floats | |
Stand dying in the dairy yard | |
And a hundred lonely housewives | |
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts | |
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry | |
It's enough to make you stop believing | |
When tears come fast and furious | |
In a town called Malice | |
Yeah | |
Struggle after struggle, year after year | |
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice | |
I'm almost stone cold dead | |
In a town called Malice | |
Ooh, yeah | |
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef | |
Gets dashed against the co-op | |
To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear | |
It's a big decision in a town called Malice | |
Ooh, yeah | |
Ooh | |
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track | |
It's at the moment bound for nowhere | |
Just going 'round and 'round, oh | |
Playground kids and creaking swings | |
Lost laughter in the breeze | |
I could go on for hours and I probably will | |
But I'd sooner put some joy back in | |
This town called Malice, ooh | |
This town called Malice, yeah | |
This town called Malice |
