Billy Bragg - Lovers Town lyrics

All the lies they told us in the cla**room Wouldn't fit in the outside world They were right and I was wrong I just had to tag along Only knew what they taught me Remember when they caught me Not disobeying, just trying to get out of the way It came to a head one night Two dances, two fights All my mates just ran away And as I walked home With blood and the tears on my best shirt And someone said 'Will they come after you?' I began to wonder what did I do wrong here I began to wonder do I belong here You think that love only exists in your eyes But it exists in girls' smiles And you think that love only exists in your eyes But it exists in girls' smiles In Lover's Town I was lonely then The whole world had it in for me How cool I must have been All metal comb and misery If ever you go back there's lessons still to be learned Those same boys are waiting outside the dance hall For when you return When the carpet's paid for You can have a party And your friends can all come round But they were not my friends My friends were in the future Just as well I had the sense to hide For this was Lover's Town No other town was quite like Lover's Lover's Town No other town was quite like Lover's Lover's Town, Lover's Town Oh, oh, oh Lover's Lover's Town, Lover's Town Oh, oh, oh, oh Lover's Town
