Close your eyes and go to sleep
From the howling, howling over these streets,
'Cause people stare, 'cause you're so mad
That wild, wild spark, that innocent laugh
But baby, that's this town,
It won't happen next time
Yeah, baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs,
It's this town to be blamed
At the top of the block there's a church
At the top of the tower there's a clock
And it rings and it sighs
'Cause there's no time for all these lies
But baby, that's this town,
It won't happen next time
Yeah, baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs,
It's this town to be blamed
Baby take a walk round to my house
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
Take that lane so narrow and deep
And walk those regrets that fill your sleep
You say your sleep is naked but your dreams are clothed
What about your footsteps, who sees them go?
Who lets you know about these things?
Who's gonna say the things we think?
So take your keys and pack your bags
But leave your books and leave your maps
(Bang it out - go mad)
But baby, that's this town,
It won't happen next time
Sure, baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs,
It won't happen next time
Sure baby, that's this town,
It won't happen next time
Yeah, baby that's this town
Lovers on love downs,
It's this town to be blamed
It's this town to be blamed
It's this town to be blamed
Work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again
Work, work, work
