You'd better stop dreaming of the quiet life  
    B5 
cos it's the one we'll never know 
C#5 
And quit running for the runaway bus  
           B5 
'cos those rosey days are few 
    D5                        C#5     
And stop apologising for the things you've never done 
E5 
'cos life is short and time is cruel, but it's up to us to change  
N.C.             A5 
This town called malice.  
C#5                                        B5 
Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard 
C#5                                          B5 
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts 
D5                                  C#5 
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry 
E5 
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious 
N.C.             A5 
In a town called malice.  

(Crowd sing Ba ba ba ba ba while he plays 
C#5 B5 C#5 B5 ) 

D5                        C#5 
Struggle after struggle, year after year 
E5 
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead 
N.C.             A5 
In a town called malice.  
C#5                         B5 
The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track 
C#5                                  B5 
It's at the moment bound for nowhere, just going round and round 
D5                                    C#5 
Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze 
E5 
I could go on for hours and I probably will, but I'd sooner put some joy back here 
N.c                 A5 
In this town called malice. 
A5 
Yeah yeah yeah 
A5 
This town called malice. 
A5 
Woah Oh yeah 
A5
