Our Town

1.Our Town (Kim Wilde) sözleri

Kim Wilde tarafından Kim Wilde albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

Written by ricky & marty wilde

This is your town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
It’s a high town, it’s a low town
It’s get here, come on you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks they’re gonna make it soon
This is one place I respected
Now I feel it’s really dejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
And a man on the box says
Hey you, don’t walk away, vote for me
You’ll get more pay, keep working hard
But they work slow

Here it comes now, sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down below everything looks just like another day
But, in the warm glow of the sunrise
There’s a child who’s searching with young eyes
Looking ’round and feeling inside he’s gonna fly away
There was one time I was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said go, but my dad said no
And my mum kept saying
Don’t go, don’t go away
Don’t leave us, you’ve got to stay
Just raise them kids, oh mother no

No prospects, just projects
Don’t try to tell me we’re living
There’s no real need to try
Can’t you see this town gonna die

Hail the new age, it’s a rat cage
Join the place for breeding dumb spieces
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what they’re missing
Wake up, wake up, can’t you believe in what I’m telling you
There’s a house where I was born in
Now it’s changed without any warning
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash
While a billboard’s saying
Let’s go, let’s get away
Come fly me, you’ve weeks to pay
When sunshine calls, but I won’t go

This is our town

2.Our Town (Frank Sinatra) sözleri

Frank Sinatra tarafından albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

You will like the folks you meet - in our town
The folks you meet on any street - in our town

Pick out any cottage - white or brown
They’re all so appealing - with that lived in feeling

You will like the shady lanes - in our town
The music of the passing trains - in our town

You will lose your heart - I promise you
In this - our two-by-four town
Welcome - on the door town
If you’ll - make it your town too

3.Our Town (Iris DeMent) sözleri

Iris DeMent tarafından Infamous Angel albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

And you know the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
Goodnight.

Up the street beside that red neon light,
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night.
He was the tender and I ordered a beer,
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here.

But you know the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
Goodnight.

It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss.
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist.
Over there is where I bought my first car.
It turned over once but then it never went far.

And I can see the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
Goodnight.

I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa.
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall.
I bring them flowers about every day,
but I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say.

If they could see how the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
Goodnight.

Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning-bugs fly.
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes.
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go.
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul.

But I can see the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on, I gotta kiss you goodbye,
But I'll hold to my lover,
'Cause my heart's 'bout to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town.
I can see the sun has gone down on my town, on my town,
Goodnight.
Goodnight.

4.Our Town (David Willcox) sözleri

David Willcox tarafından albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

Billy cut his hair last night
The cops said he didn't look right
For our town
We sell poultry, eggs and meat, but
Your kind don't shop on this street
In our town

And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say

We'll send money halfway around the world,
But don't you go callin' on the girls
In our town
The job is taken, apartment's gone
Must've forgot to take the sign off the lawn
In our town

And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say

There ain't nothin' wrong with a pretty face
I hope all the girls know their place
In our town
Well, I don't want you to misunderstand but
You can't have a woman takin' work from a man
In our town

And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say

Oh don't judge a book by the cover
Never meant one thing or another
In our town
All the houses look the same
You see, tradition is the name of the game
In our town
Yes it is

And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say

5.Our Town (Marshall Crenshaw) sözleri

Marshall Crenshaw tarafından albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

(M. Crenshaw)

I hear something in the sounds that surround me
That only seems to remind me
That I'm lost and longing for a different place and time
I wanna be walking down the avenue
Tall buildings staring down on me and you
But all I have is pictures running through my mind
CHORUS:
Sunlight dying
People rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
Gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
Do you remember the promise I gave you?
The one I swore I would hold to
Well you're there,
I'm here and everything I said was wrong
So we're not out with the crowd nights
Not walking under the bright lights
All I can do is dream about it all night long.
CHORUS: (as above)
BRIDGE:
It's the place where we keep our hopes and dreams
The place where I lost my heart it seems
All people looking for danger and romance
Drop by there while you still have the chance
'Cause it's all gonna tumble down
It's gonna shake apart and crumble to the g

6.Our Town (Various Artists) sözleri

Various Artists tarafından albümünde söylenen Our Town adlı şarkının sözleri.

Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow
It was your town

Time goes by, time brings changes, you change, too
Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go
Never see it coming, the world caves in on you
On your town
Nothing you can do.

Main street isn't main street anymore
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
In our town

Sun comes up each morning
Just like it's always done
Get up, go to work, start the day,
Open up for business that's never gonna come
As the world rolls by a million miles away
