The boys are breaking marriage vows
Against the graveyard wall
Well it's fourteen pints of lager
All for one and bugger all
In my home town

The kids are breaking car locks
To go riding in the through night
They're striving to be grown up
Childhood dying in the fight
In my home town

From early dreams of infancy
To adolescent fantiasies and
Disappointment breeding middle age
It's always been the same my friend
A small town Englands nightmare
End the ever circling rat race
That we've made
In my home town

The girls on the gin tonight
To keep away the cold
The creeping fear the passing years
Forever growing old
In my home town
