This Town (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album ice on fire

It’s closing time the boys are all together at the bar
Staring in their glasses
Looks like another layoff at the yard

Yesterday i heard union hall come down
They hit it with a wrecking ball
And they try but nothing changes in this town

Cap in hand stood in line
Your family ties are the chains that bind
The endless wheel goes round and round
Chances are you’ll never leave this town
Oh oh no

Like a river now the empty streets are flooded out with rain
It’s falling on the playground
While the kids get wet playing the same old games

Locked away so many things remind them of war
They tap the pavement with their canes
The good old days ain’t so good no more

This Town (Letra)

This town is our town, so mother fuckin glam

We are now the chosen toys of caddy girls and pretty boys.
Make up that face to win the race.
Life’s a bitch in this town.
Suck my dick in this town.
This town is our town, it is so glamourous
I bet you’d live here if you could and be one of us
This town is our town, so fuckin glamorous
I bet you’d live here if you could and be one of us

Change our minds like we said before
We are dreamers, we are whores!
Discarded scars like worn out cars
litter the streets of, this town
litter the streets of this town

chorus

Break it down boys.
Human Waste in the house…
Here we fuckin go!

This Town (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

This town i live in ain’t fit for man or beast
This town i live in ain’t fit for man or beast
There’s a man down here, a man down there
They all want to rob you or take you somewhere
This town i live in ain’t fit for man or beast
I’m going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog
I’m going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog
I’m going to chain, chain, chain him
Up to my fence
Make him bark, bark, bark
Understand my french
I’m going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog
If i had a hundred dollars
I’d buy myself a gun
If i had a hundred dollars
I’d buy myself a gun
I’d stick it out the door
And wait for an attack
I’ll need somebody just to cover my back
If i had a hundred dollars
I’d buy myself a gun
The moral of the story
You better watch where you go
The moral of the story, boy
You better watch out where you go
They’ll get you in the morning
They’ll get you at night
Some, then want to rob you
But most, they want to fight
This town i live in, i got to go
This town i live in
This town i live in, i got to go

I’m not asleep when i’m lyin’ down
I’m asleep when i’ walkin’ around
This town

Some people think that it’s not ok
To sleep around and kiss the hours away
This town
It’s ok

This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-‘round town

<instrumental>

This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it’s a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you’re-down town

This town is a losin’ town
It’s a miserable town
It’s a nowhere town
And i am leavin’ this town
You better believe that i’m leavin’ this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It’s bound to be downtown

<fade>

This town, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

This Town (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

If you ever want to get depressed just come to this town
Nothing to do from dinner to breakfast in this town

Four street lights and one old grocery
I ain’t long to stay here no siree
I’m bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin’ this town

I’ve seen towns, but no town as bad as this town
It don’t take you long to feel lowdown in this town
Soon the cotton’s gonna open up and i’m gonna pick it
Just long enough to make enough to buy myself a ticket
I’m bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin’ this town

Here i stand on the dusty road leavin’ this town
Hopin’ that dog ain’t got a full load leavin’ this town
The state built new access for travel
They got the pavement ‘n we got the gravel
That’s the reason everything’s dying round here
In this town

We got very little sunshine day to day in this town
The mail don’t run but every other day in this town

Four street lights and one old grocery
I ain’t long to stay here no siree
I’m bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin’ this town

Well we don’t reap, we don’t sow in this town
Things are so bad the weeds won’t grow in this town

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.
This town can go the other place i’m going to heaven
I’m bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin’ this town

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)

The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it don’t get clean

This town has turned me into what i have become
This town dresses me up like a stranger
This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift
This town takes us down
I feel like i’m losing you to this town

We were saving our money for half of our lives
We were saving our dreams
And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city
But i’ve been counting the days i’ve been watching you change
And i can feel it dying
The noise outside takes you in its arms like a lamb to a lion

And down there somewhere among the noise
The magazine dolls and the big money boys
Move silently on their easy heels
They move silently on their greasy wheels

This town has turned me into what i have become
This town dresses you up like a stranger
This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me i’m late
This town takes us down, takes us down
I feel like i’m losing you to this town

The morning breaks and i watch you awake and this town takes you down away from me again

This Town (Letra)

Waking up to kiss you and nobody’s there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It’s hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round
It’s funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met he’s got his arms around you
It’s so hard
So hard

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

Because if the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

And I know that it’s wrong
That I can’t move on
But there’s something about you

If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

Everything comes back to you

That charlie sedarka was a-playing the piano
Like he was pawing a dirty book
He bit a hole in his big bottom lip and gave his
Very best little boy look
It was a song with a topical verse which i’m
Afraid he then proceeded to sing
Something about the moody doomed love of
The fish-finger king

Chorus:

You’re nobody in this town
You’re nobody in this crowd
You’re nobody ‘til everybody in this town
Thinks you’re poison,
Got your number knows it must be avoided
You’re nobody ‘til everybody in this town
Thinks you’re a bastard

Mr. getgood moved up to self-made man row
Although he swears that he’s the salt of the earth
He’s so proud of the "kick-me-hard" sign that
They hung on his back at birth
He said "i appreciate beauty, if i have one, then
It’s my fault"
"beauty is on my pillow, beauty is there in
My vault"

Chorus

The girl with the eternity rock went down on
Her bookie to buy some stock
Now all her signs in the shopping arcades say
"the corporation thief is the new jesse james"
Her clothes and her attention were scant, her
Eyes were everywhere,
Her eyes were like abstinthe
The little green figures that dance on his screen
Say everything you want to hear and nothing
They mean
They made love while she was changing her dress
She wiped him off she wiped him out and then
She made him confess
A little amused by the belief in her power
You must remember this it was the fetish of
The hour

Chorus

Gonna walk right through this town and laugh
with a crowd of strangers chasing me.
Never stop to look behind my back,
so tell me what they said because I fear my life’s
in danger now in this town.
How did you get to my motel -do tell soon.
Gonna walk right through this town again
with a crowd of strangers watching me,
picking every little thing apart.
So, tell me what they said because I get attitude
from this town -in this town.
How did you get to this town? …
Through this town?
Gonna walk right through this town again
knowing that I’m only here tonight.
Never cared to stop and say hello;
so, tell me what they said because I don’t have time to hang around
in this town.
Maybe… maybe I should think to stay.
Maybe I won’t ever return.
Maybe… maybe I should stop and play.
Gonna walk right through this town again.
But, all I know is I really should be on my way.
Wouldn’t mind one more night in town.
