Town Called Malice Lyrics - The Sound Of The Jam - Jam

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 

'Cause it's the one we'll never know 

And quit running for that runaway bus 

'Cause those rosy days are few 

And stop apologizing for the things you've never done 

'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change 

This town called Malice 

Rows and rows of disused milk floats 

Stand dying in the dairy yard 

And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk 

Bottles to their hearts 

Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry 

It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious

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

In a town called Malice, yeah 

Struggle after struggle, year after year 

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 cop 

To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear 

It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah 

Photos 

Ooh, the ghost of a steam train echoes down my track 

It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round 

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 ooh 

In this town called Malice, yeah 

In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
