| Jam The Miscellaneous Town Called Malice TOWN CALLED MALICE (Paul Weller) Better stop dreaming of the quiet life - cos it's one you'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus - cos their rosey days are few And - stop apologizing for the things you've never done; Cos time is short and life is cruel - but it's up to us to change This town called malice. Rows and rows of disused milk stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious In a town called malice. Struggle after struggle - year after year That atmosphere's a fine blend of ice - I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called malice A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef gets dashed against the co-op To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere - just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings - lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will - but I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called malice. TRANS-GLOBAL EXPRESS (Paul Weller) Ordinary people don't get time to think not that it's their fault cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work just to make sure the food gets bought governments threaten you with recession then they threaten you with war how the other side wants to take away all the things you ain't got no more keep us divided with their greed and hate keep you struggling to put the food on your plate. Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike not just British Leyland but the whole world who would earn their profits? who would make their bombs? you'd see the hands of oppression fumble and their systems crash to the ground and you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too not to turn against your own kind whenever governments tell you to. Get the trans-global express moving and see our marvellous leaders quiver they know that if it happens their lazy days are over the day the working people join together we'll all rest much more easy the responsibility you must bear when it's your own future in your hands maybe a hard one to face up to but at least you will own yourself! |
