This Town Lyrics - Ice On Fire - Elton John

It's closin' time, the boys are all together at the bar 

Staring in their glasses 

Looks like another layoff at the yard 

Yesterday I heard the Union Hall come down 

They hit it with a racket ball 

And they tried but nothin' changes in this town 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

Your family ties are the chains that bind 

The endless wheel goes round and round 

Chances are you'll never leave this town 

Oh oh no 

Like river now the empty streets are flooded out with rain 

It's fallin' on the playground 

And while the kids get wet they're playing the same old games

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Locked away so many things remind them of war 

They tap the pavement with their canes 

The good old days ain't so good no more 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

Family ties are the chains that bind 

The endless wheel goes round and round 

Chances are you'll never leave this town 

Oh oh no 

Looks like another day 

A fact they love 

They tried but nothin' changes in this town 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

Family ties are the chains that bind 

The endless wheel goes round and round 

Chances are you'll never leave this town 

Oh oh no 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

The family ties are the chains that bind 

The endless wheel goes round and round 

Chances are you'll never leave this town 

(No) 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

Family ties are the chains that bind 

Endless wheel goes round and round 

Chances are you'll never leave this town 

(No) 

Endless wheel goes round and round 

And chances are you'll never leave this town 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

All your family ties are the chains that bind 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

Oh don't bury down the chains that bind 

Cap in hand, stood in line 

All the pretty baby, pretty baby, pretty baby 

They got chains that bind 

Ooh, cap in hand, stood in line 

Ch-ch-chains that bind
