Song Lyrics
-
This Town
White picket fences, electric defences
Won’t keep the thieves away
Bars on the windows, but still the wind blows
It blew the kids away
Everyone’s drinking, what are they thinking
Just to make it through the day
It's dusty and hot, like it or not
Things just go that way
This town, is big enough for Martha
Arthur’s got no need to complain
People here don’t talk about the weather
People here got something else to say
White bread and stubbies, twisties and cigarettes
All part of everyday
Vinyl recliners, truck stop diners
They’ve got to make it pay
The bills still pile up, half a mile up
The road to gone insane
Packed up and slowly they're going nowhere
It’s easier to stay
In this town, it’s big enough for Martha
And Arthur’s got no need to complain
The people here don’t talk about the weather
People here don’t want a thing to change
The pop-up toaster, the Beatles poster
It could be any century
The friendly neighbour, a hard day’s labour
Starts to sound like history
No one expectant, there’s no contraception
They got satellite T.V.
Things won't change here, and another leap year
Is just another leap of faith (for)
This town, it’s big enough for Martha
And Arthur’s got no need to complain
People here won't talk about the weather
The people here don’t want a thing to change (no)
Not in this town, it’s big enough for Martha
And Arthur’s got no need to complain
People don’t just talk about the weather
People here got something else to say
People here got something else to say
