Anytown Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Over dale and over hills 

I'll take you through the cotton mills 

To the ginnels where we played 

And where are friendships all were made 

Still they came and tore them down 

And now we live in Anytown 

They came and tore it down 

And now this place could be Anytown 

Can't forget and won't forgive 

The places we've been forced to live 

Sticks and stones may break my bones 

But rather that than live alone

For they came and tore it down 

And now we live in Anytown 

They came and tore it down 

And now this place could be Anytown 

Rags to riches, that's a lie 

For some things money just can't buy 

Thicker than water blood may be 

And comfort still brings misery 

For they came and tore it down 

And now we live in Anytown 

They came and tore it down 

And now this place could be Anytown 

Photos 

They took the heart when they ripped it down 

And in its place sent Anytown 

Summer in the driving rain 

I can hear the Oldham train.
