Shining Through (Bonus Track)
You need something that you ain't been getting.
Yeah, I could be the one,
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing.
And you're holding on forever,
But that something just ain't true.
I'm just like you,
And I know, it's what I'd do.
Here I go.
Cuz I couldn't stop the world, cuz I loved you.
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to.
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't.
Cuz it ain't enough.
You had another bad day,
You let me know that you just can't ta
Town Called Malice
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus -
cos those rosey days are few
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
but it's up to us to change
This town called malice.
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.
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
gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice.
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.
