You spend your time in smokey rooms
where haggled old women
with cheap perfume say

it never happens for people
like us you know
well nothing ever happened on it`s own

and well the toilets smell of desperation
the streets all echo of aggregation
tand you wonder

why you cant get no sleep
when you`ve got nothing to do,
and you`ve had nothing to eat

your life`s slipping
and sliding right out of view
and there`s absolutely nothing

that you can do well

we`ll live and die,

we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now

we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down

don`t let it drag you down now

dirty dishes from a tv meal

that went cold from the wind
throuh a smashed up window
you cant go out if anybody calls ya

cos you cant have a bath
when there`s no hot water
and your friends are out

on the town again
and you ask yourself if it will ever end
and it`s all too much for your head to take

just a matter of time
before you break, well


we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down

don`t let it drag you down now
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns

don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now


now...
now...


we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down

don`t let it drag you down now
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns

don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
