We'll Live And Die In These Towns

You spend your time in smokey rooms

where haggled old women with cheap perfume say

"it never happens for people like us you know"

well nothing ever happened on it's own

and well the toilets smell of desperation

the streets all echo of aggregation

and you wonder

why you cant get no sleep

when you've got nothing to do,

and you've had nothing to eat

your life's slipping

and sliding right out of view

and there's absolutely nothing

that you can do, well

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now

Dirty dishes from a tv meal

that went cold from the wind

through a smashed up window

You cant go out if anybody calls ya

cos you cant have a bath

when there's no hot water

and your friends are out

on the town again

and you ask yourself if it will ever end

and it's all too much for your head to take

just a matter of time before you break, well

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now

Now...

Now...

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die,

We'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down

Don't let it drag you down now
