Lovers Town

All the lies they told us in the classroom

Wouldn't fit in the outside world

They were right and I was wrong

I just had to tag along

Only knew what they taught me

Remember when they caught me

Not disobeying, just trying to get out of the way

It came to a head one night

Two dances, two fights

All my mates just ran away

And as I walked home

With blood and the tears on my best shirt

And someone said 'Will they come after you?'

I began to wonder what did I do wrong here

I began to wonder do I belong here

You think that love only exists in your eyes

But it exists in girls' smiles

And you think that love only exists in your eyes

But it exists in girls' smiles

In Lover's Town

I was lonely then

The whole world had it in for me

How cool I must have been

All metal comb and misery

If ever you go back there's lessons still to be learned

Those same boys are waiting outside the dance hall

For when you return

When the carpet's paid for

You can have a party

And your friends can all come round

But they were not my friends

My friends were in the future

Just as well I had the sense to hide

For this was Lover's Town

No other town was quite like Lover's

Lover's Town

No other town was quite like Lover's

Lover's Town, Lover's Town

Oh, oh, oh Lover's

Lover's Town, Lover's Town

Oh, oh, oh, oh Lover's Town
