lyrics

I said to you some time ago I’m thinking of leaving this town
You said “you’ll never get around to it”
I said “the last straw for me was the sympathy
when my girl put her head through my TV screen”
You said “I know exactly what you mean”

So now I’m taking all that’s left of me
down a country road or a dead end street
They tell me “we’ll all miss you” but it’s only ghosts that follow me
The room still smells of their smoke
It says “we never let you go, we never let you go”

My stately home in the clearance zone
When you’re cursed these things just happen
You believe the hype, the cards don’t lie
When your lovers die
It’s the flypaper here that killed them, don’t you know

I’ll see you queueing down the labour exchange
All familiar faces now, and no one seems to know my name
The gutter rags got no one’s back but
Murdoch’s got mine
Storm City Hall another time

I spent some time at home with the beggars and the thieves
We jumped into the Styx and there was nothing but disease
