Town Called Malice

Em
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 
Dm7
Cos it’s the one we’ll never know
Em
And quit running for that runaway bus 
Dm7
Cos those rosey days are few
     F        Em       
And stop apologising for the things you’ve never done
G
Cos time is short and life is cruel 
G
But it’s up to us to change
G
This town called malice.

Em
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Dm7
Stand dying in the dairy yard
Em
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Dm7
Bottles to their hearts
F                     Em  
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
G
Its enough to make you stop believing 
G
When tears come fast and furious
G
In a town called malice.   Yeah

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba     Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba          Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba     Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba

F              Em
Struggle after struggle - year after year
G
The atmospheres a fine blend of ice 
G
I’m almost stone cold dead
G
In a town called malice.

Oooo  Yeah

Bm              Am
A whole streets belief in Sundays roast beef
Bm          Am
Gets dashed against the co-op
G
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
G
Its a big decision in a town called malice.        Oooo  Yeah

Em                   Dm7
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
Em
It’s at the moment bound for nowhere 
Dm7
Just going round and round
F
Playground kids and creaking swings 
Em
Lost laughter in the breeze
G
I could go on for hours and I probably will 
G
But I’d sooner put some joy back
G
In this town called malice.      Yeah
G
Town called malice.        Yeah
