A Town Calllledl

Malice

Made Famous By. THE JAM

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
El El El El El
Better stop dreamin'

of the quiet life
'cause it's the one

we'll never know I
Better stop dreamin'

of the quiet life
'cause it's the one
we'll never know
And quit runnin' for
that runaway bus
'cause those rosy days
are few and stop
apologisin' for the
things you never done
Time is short and
life is cruel but it's

up to us to change
this town called Malice
Rows and rows of
disused milkers

that will die in the
dairy yard
And a hundred lonely
housewives clutch

empty milk bottles to
their hearts
Hangin' out their old

love letters on the
line to dry
It's enough to make
you stop believin' when
tears come fast and
furious in a town called
Malice, yeah-eh-eh
ba- ba- ba- ba

ba-ba-ba
ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-oh
The atmosphere's a
fine blend of ice,
I'm almost stone cold
dead in a town called
Malice, ooh-yeah
A whole street's belief
in Sunday's roast beef

gets dashed against
the Co-Op
To either cut down on
beer or the kids
new gear. It's a big
decision in a town
called Malice, ooh-yeah
Ooh-ooh.

ghost of a steam train
echoes down my track
It's at the moment

bound for nowhere just
goin' round and round
Oh, playground kids
and creaking swings,

lost laughter in the
breeze
I could go on for hours
and I probably will but,
I'd sooner put some joy
back in this town called
Malice, yeah-eh-eh
Ooh-ooh,

yeah-eh-eh
ooh-ooh-yeah
