Don't forget about this town!
The Milk bottles are smashed up
They are all over the pavements
The postman steals the rent cheques
But leaves you with the statements
And all around town, more shops are closing down every weekend
And I'm staying on the bus with you
Cos there's nothing else we can do!
Don't forget about this town!
The houses by the school yard
Some of them got burnt down
There's fighting on the promenade
And needles in the playground
And all around town more shops are closing down every weekend!
There's a boy over there with his girl
And they look so in love and it's beautiful
Don't forget about this town!
Shall we walk together now, and hold hands in the park
We can sit by the bowling green and stay there till it's dark
There's panic at the disco
Flowers in the cemetery
There's fighting down at bingo
And queuing outside A + E
And all around town more shops are closing down every weekend!
And I'm staying on the bus with you
Cos there's nothing else we can do
Don't forget about this town!
