Our Town — текст песни (Kim Wilde)

Written by ricky & marty wilde



This is your town, this is my place

This is where my whole world is lived in

Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights

Its a high town, its a low town

Its get here, come on you grow town

No-one does, but everyone thinks theyre gonna make it soon

This is one place I respected

Now I feel its really dejected

No-one cares and the people just stare

And a man on the box says

"hey you, dont walk away, vote for me

Youll get more pay, keep working hard"

But they work slow



Here it comes now, sunday morning

Just another sleepy town yawning

Down below everything looks just like another day

But, in the warm glow of the sunrise

Theres a child whos searching with young eyes

Looking round and feeling inside hes gonna fly away

There was one time I was leaving

But the folks around me kept grieving

Friends said go, but my dad said no

And my mum kept saying

"dont go, dont go away

Dont leave us, youve got to stay

Just raise them kids, oh mother no"



No prospects, just projects

Dont try to tell me were living

Theres no real need to try

Cant you see this town gonna die



Hail the new age, its a rat cage

Join the place for breeding dumb spieces

All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to

Burn the place down, make it dead ground

Show the people just what theyre missing

Wake up, wake up, cant you believe in what Im telling you

Theres a house where I was born in

Now its changed without any warning

Cranes just crash and bricks just smash

While a billboards saying

"lets go, lets get away

Come fly me, youve weeks to pay

When sunshine calls, but I wont go



This is our town
