1
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life,
2
Cause it's one you'll never know
3
And quit running for that runaway bus,
4
Cos their rosey days are few
5
And, stop apologizing for the things you've never done;
6
Cause time is short and life is cruel,
7
But it's up to us to change
8
This town called malice.
9
Rows and rows of disused milk
10
Stand dying in the dairy yard
11
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
12
Bottles to their hearts
13
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
14
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
15
Fast and furious
16
In a town called malice.
17
Struggle after struggle, year after year
18
That atmosphere's a fine blend of ice,
19
I'm almost stone cold dead
20
In a town called malice
21
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
22
Gets dashed against the co-op
23
To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
24
It's a big decision in a town called malice
25
The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
26
It's at the moment bound for nowhere,
27
Just going round and round
28
Playground kids and creaking swings,
29
Lost laughter in the breeze
30
I could go on for hours and I probably will,
31
But I'd sooner put some joy back
32
In this town called malice.
