Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Income Town

You’ve got no work and you’ve got no money

You’re just a little pouty, life’s no so funny in

Income Town, living down in Income Town

Your eyes are so wide, your head’s still spinning

Can’t you see there is no winning in

Income Town, no winning in Income Town.

Your hands are still sore from wild end fighting

I don’t see, there is no right and no wrong you done

No right and no wrong you done

Your smile looks right, your intentions are right

Your attitude’s cool, your futures bright, you’re in

Income Town, welcome down in Income Town.

Income Town is the place to be

Income Town was built for you and me

Income Town makes you sleek and fat

Income Town leaves you straight and flat.

The cold comes creeping, the darkness falls

Nothing to talk to, four brick walls in

Income Town, living down in Income Town

You’ve got no life, you’ve got no money

You’re starting to sigh, future isn’t sunny

It’s an Income Town, living down in Income Town.

Your eyes are still wide, your head’s still spinning

You’re starting to sigh, there is no winning in

Income Town, there’s no winning in Income Town

So kick up the heels with the rising sun

Pick up your feet, come on, let’s run away from

Income Town, run away from Income Town.

Lay down your sorrow, pick up your joy

Come on home, be a country boy

Just a little while

Baby just a little while

Baby just a little country boy

Country boy

Take you for a country boy.
