1
Smalltown, snoring under blankets
2
Woken by the clank
3
It's just the milkman's dawn round
4
Smalltown, hiding undercovers
5
The lodgers and the lovers
6
Are asleep 'round Smalltown
7
Shiny gray black snake of bikes
8
He slithers
9
Bearing up the men and boys
10
To work
11
We're standing in poplar lines
12
Making alarm clocks that'll wake our wives up
13
Don't ask us, we haven't the time
14
We're racing the hooter that'll signal life's up
15
Smalltown, crouching in the valley
16
Woken by the sally army
17
Sunday march round
18
Smalltown, coughing in the toilet
19
Now who on earth would spoil it
20
Would they pull down Smalltown?
21
If it's all the same to you
22
Mrs. Progress
23
Think I'll drink my Oxo up
24
And get away
25
It's not that you're repulsive to see
26
In your brand new catalog nylon nightie
27
You're too fast for little old me
28
Next you'll be telling me it's 1990
29
I have lived here for a thousand years or maybe more
30
And I've sheltered all the children who have fought the wars
31
And as payment they make love in me
32
Squeaky old beds, in bicycle sheds
33
Inside of their heads, as singles and weds
34
As Tories and Reds
35
And that's how I'm fed
36
And that's how I'm fed
37
Smalltown, snoring under blankets
38
Woken by the clank
39
It's just the milkman's dawn round
40
Smalltown, hiding undercovers
41
The lodgers and the lovers
42
Are asleep 'round Smalltown
43
Smalltown, crouching in the valley
44
Woken by the sally army
45
Sunday march round
46
Smalltown, coughing in the toilet
47
Now who on earth would spoil it
48
Till you pull down Smalltown
