Newtown People (Live at Brunel University, London 1987) Lyrics by Newtown Neurotics

Triumph Over Adversity

2016

Newtown people you are so cold
Newtown people just don't bother anymore
They try, oh they try, yes they try
But no matter what they do it all comes to nought
Chorus:
Well, they've gone wrong
They've missed it, but it is near
161 has got to be around here
We've gone wrong
They've missed it, but then again
161 has got to be around the next bend
But this town is like a maze
Well I hate to admit it to you
That I think we're lost again
Newtown people you are so bored
Newtown people just don't bother anymore
Well there's lots of youth with nothing to do
No money in their pockets for them to use
But you can bet your life they're all in love with Uhu
Chorus:
Well they've gone wrong
They've missed it, but it is near
161 has got to be around here
We've gone wrong
We've missed it, but then again
161 has got to be around the next bend
But this town is like a maze
Well I hate to admit it to you
That I think we're lost again
When God created this town it was for practice
He then created hell and the fact is
Well it is heaven compared with here
The entertainment is better down there
Why the hell don't the buses run
We're always waiting for hours
It's no wonder the shelters get done
Frustrations unleashed on the thin metal sheets
And the wet concrete, yes there's far too much concrete in this town
Newtown buildings they are so grey
As if specially designed to suit the newtown, suit the newtown day
Well there's not a bit of colour to brighten up your life
It makes the winter months all the harder to survive
And you know, we all know we've gotta pull through, gotta pull through
Chorus:
Well we've gone wrong
We've missed it but it is near
161 has got to be around here
We've gone wrong
We've missed it, but then again
161 has got to be around the next bend
But this town is like a maze
We've gone wrong again
But this town is like a maze
We've gone wrong again
But this town is like a maze
Well I hate to admit it to you
But I think we're lost again
