Town Called Malice
Em
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
Dm7
Cos it # 17 s the one we # 17 ll never know
Em
And quit running for that runaway bus
Dm7
Cos those rosey days are few
F Em
And stop apologising for the things you # 17 ve never done
G
Cos time is short and life is cruel
G
But it # 17 s up to us to change
G
This town called malice
Em
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Dm7
Stand dying in the dairy yard
Em
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Dm7
Bottles to their hearts
F Em
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
G
Its enough to make you stop believing
G
When tears come fast and furious
G
In a town called malice Yeah
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
F Em
Struggle after struggle - year after year
G
The atmospheres a fine blend of ice
G
I # 17 m almost stone cold dead
G
In a town called malice
Oooo Yeah
Bm Am
A whole streets belief in Sundays roast beef
Bm Am
Gets dashed against the co-op
G
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
G
Its a big decision in a town called malice Oooo Yeah
Em Dm7
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
Em
It # 17 s at the moment bound for nowhere
Dm7
Just going round and round
F
Playground kids and creaking swings
Em
Lost laughter in the breeze
G
I could go on for hours and I probably will
G
But I # 17 d sooner put some joy back
G
In this town called malice Yeah
G
Town called malice Yeah
