[verse:]
 F#m
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
              Em7
cos it's the one we'll never know
     F#m
And quit running for that runaway bus -
           Em7
cos those rosey days are few
       G                        F#m
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
     A
Cos time is short and life is cruel -

but it's up to us to change
                  A
This town called malice.


[verse:]
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
fast and furious
In a town called malice.


[verse:]
Papa papa padapa
Papa padapa
Papa papa padapa
Papa padapa
Struggle after struggle - year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called malice.

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
      Dbm                Bm
gets dashed against the Co-op
           A
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
                                      D
It's a big decision in a town called malice.

[verse:]
The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere -
just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings -
lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
but I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called malice.
