Lyrics for The Everyday Story Of Smalltown by Xtc:
| | | Artist: | Xtc |
| | Album: | Big Express | | Track: | The Everyday Story Of Smalltown | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 220 | | | | Lyrics: | Smalltown, snoring under blankets
Woken by the clank
It's just the milkman's dawn
round
Smalltown, hiding undercovers
The lodgers and the lovers
Are asleep 'round
Smalltown
Shiney grey black snake of bikes
He slithers
Bearing up the men and
boys
To work
We're standing in poplar lines
Making alarm clocks that'll wake our
wives up
Don't ask us, we haven't the time
We're racing the hooter that'll signal life's
up
Smalltown, crouching in the valley
Woken by the sally army
Sunday
marchround
Smalltown, coughing in the toilet
Who on earth would spoil it
Would they
pull down Smalltown?
If it's all the same to you
Mrs Progress
Think I'll drink
my Oxo up
And get away
It's not that you're repulsive to see
In your brand new
catalogue nylon nightie
You're too fast for little old me
Next you'll be telling me it's
1990
I have lived here for a thousand years or maybe more
And I've sheltered all the
children who have fought the wars
And as payment they make love in me
In squeaky
beds
In bicycle sheds
Inside of their heads
As singles and weds
As Tories and
Reds
And that's how I'm fed
And that's how I'm fed
Smalltown, snoring under
blankets
Woken by the clank
It's just the milkman's dawn round
Smalltown, hiding
undercovers
The lodgers and the lovers
Are asleep 'round Smalltown
Smalltown,
crouching in the valley
Woken by the sally army
Sunday marchround
Smalltown, coughing
in the toilet
Now who on earth would spoil it
Will you pull down
Smalltown
Smalltown
