| [00:14.07] |
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life |
| [00:16.31] |
'Cos it's the one we'll never know |
| [00:18.74] |
And quit running for that runaway bus |
| [00:20.99] |
'Cos those Rosey days are few |
| [00:23.13] |
And stop apologizing for the things |
| [00:26.46] |
You've never done |
| [00:28.19] |
'Cos time is short and life is cruel |
| [00:30.42] |
But it's up to us to change |
| [00:32.33] |
This town called Malice |
| [00:42.50] |
Rows and rows of disused milk floats |
| [00:44.50] |
Stand dying in the dairy yard |
| [00:46.91] |
And a hundred lonely housewives |
| [00:48.96] |
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts |
| [00:51.88] |
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry |
| [00:56.42] |
It's enough to make you stop believing |
| [00:58.69] |
When tears come fast and furious |
| [01:00.45] |
In a town called Malice |
| [01:20.45] |
Struggle after struggle year after year |
| [01:24.94] |
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice |
| [01:27.03] |
I'm almost stone cold dead |
| [01:28.84] |
In a town called Malice |
| [01:39.06] |
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef |
| [01:43.64] |
Gets dashed against the coop |
| [01:48.33] |
To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear |
| [01:50.76] |
It's a big decision in a town called Malice |
| [02:09.94] |
Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track |
| [02:14.49] |
It's at the moment bound for nowhere |
| [02:16.63] |
Just going 'round and 'round |
| [02:19.02] |
Playground kids and creaking swings |
| [02:21.58] |
Lost laughter in the breeze |
| [02:23.42] |
I could go on for hours and I probably will |
| [02:25.61] |
But I'd sooner put some joy back |
| [02:27.20] |
In this town called Malice |
| [02:36.84] |
In this town called Malice |
| [02:46.16] |
In this town called Malice |
