Chumbawamba - Smalltown Lyrics






And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless
Poison arrows
(To ruin your tomorrows)
Below suspicion
Cafes full of people dressed as spies
And all I know
(Is guilt for being different)

It's always raining stones
(There's a killer in the home)
In a small town
Everybody looks the same
(There are unwritten rules)
(Unspoken words)
Should I pack my fear and go?

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

And every morning comes too soon
(All your nights are sleepless)
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows
(There are unwritten rules)
(Unspoken words)
Should I pack my fear and go?

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

(Please sir, I want some more)

    I always thought so myself back in the day. I use to play this album at the Surf shop where I worked during the winter off season when business was dead. Unfortunately Tubthumping was, according to the book, "Appetite for Self Destruction" apparently made to sell the song Tubthumbing and the rest of the album was just considered filler. Something like that at least.

    E.... M....

    Funny how the rest of the album is better. This was their 8th album, though most have no idea of that lol
