It’s A Small Town
It’s a small town,
And you know that you should go,
It’s a small town,
What more do you need to know,
To make your decision?Your ideas are in endless revision,
Waiting for the right conditions,
How much longer will you stall?
Are you too comfortable to heed the call?
It’s taken longer than expected,
I will be the first to admit,
My master plan is not yet perfected,
But I’m not yet willing to submit,Despite this place sapping my soul,
Like iron filings on a magnet,
This town is like a tar-pit,
If you let it it will swallow you whole,It’s a small town,
And you know that you must go,
It’s a small town,
But you stay here even though,
You’re going insane,Would you even remember my name?
Would you give me the time of day?
Would you remember that time,
By the disused railway line?
When I thought that I read your mind,
And I knew that you read mine,Familiarity breeds contempt,
And all those plans got spent,
Now I’m living just to pay the rent,
And festering in Kent,It’s a small town,
And you know that you should go,
It’s a small town,
What more do you need to know,Small town, drag you down,
Grind-you-in-the-ground town,
Small town, drag you down,
Grind-you-in-the-ground town,
It’s a small town,
It’s a small town.
