Lovers Town Revisited Lyrics - Billy Bragg

It's that summer of the evening 

Get ready and roll the cassette 

There's boys outside preaching genocide 

And trying to think up some sort of threat 

And the ladies in the cloakroom 

Take no notice of me 

I wish myself was back at home 

But there's nothing safe in watching TV 

There's something born tomorrow 

That I lost when I was out for a drink 

How many gangs is it gonna take 

To change the way I think 

It takes more than good intentions 

And a big bloke on the door 

And though it's never the same after the first time 

That doesn't stop them coming back for more 

Fighting in the dance halls happens anyway 

Sometimes it makes me stop and think 

Sometimes it makes me turn away 

Sometimes it makes me stop and think 

Sometimes it makes me turn away 

Sometimes it makes me stop and think 

But most times it makes me run away
