Smalltown Lyrics by Chumbawamba

Tubthumper

1997

And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows
Below suspicion
Cafes full of people dressed as spies
And all I know
Is guilt for being different

It's always raining stones
There's a killer in the home
In a small town
Everybody looks the same
There are unwritten rules
Unspoken words
Should I pack my fear and go?

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows
There are unwritten rules
Unspoken words
Should I pack my fear and go?

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow

[Interlude]
(Please, sir, I want some more!)
