Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Lonely (Town) lyrics

Your eyes are focused on a screen of your own choosing Your mind is busy with distractions of it's own My imminent departure is the flavour of the evening You lent me a welcome; i paid interest on the loan Your downward glance - a punishment for errant little foibles The things that make us human are unpleasant to your taste Each drooping lash has cut me with barbed insinuations I plundered all my savings in hopes that you're displaces So fond farewell from corny clown I'm going back to lonely town Were people weep and others frown Empty lives can tumble down In lonely town Lonely town Lonely town Lonely town A broken shadow of a man that you ignore before you Once drove the streets of London like leaopard on the prowl The virus that destroyed the youth, the fool who would adore you Will take me where the air is grey, the atmosphere is foul So best of luck and all the rest I'm going back to lonley town Where good is bad, worse is best Empty lives can tumble down In lonely town Lonely town Lonely town So fond farewell from corny clown I'm going back to lonely town Were people weep and others frown Empty lives can tumble down In lonely town Lonely town Lonely town Lonely town
