Better  stop dreaming of the quiet life,
 cus its the one we'll never know
 and quit running for the runaway bus cus those rosy days are few
Stop  aplogising,
For  the thing you've never done,
Cus  time is short and life is cruel but its upto us to change,
This  town called malice(intro tab)
Rows  and rows of disused milk floats,
 stand dying in the dairy yard
 and a hundred lonely housewives
 crush empty milk bottles to their hearts,
Hanging  out their old love letters,
On  the line to dry,
Its  enough to make you stop believing,
In  a town called malice(intro tab)
 (this is now cradocks part, but it sounds awsome so i suggest you play it)
ba  ba ba ba ba da ba
ba  ba ba da ba X2
 (back to weller)
Struggle  after struggle
Year  after year
The  atmospheres a fine blend of ice, im almost stone cold dead
In  a town called malice(intro tab)
The  whole streets belief,
In  sundays roast beef
 gets dashed
 against the co  - op (Pick Slide)
to  either cut down on beer or the kids new gear its a big decision in a town calle
 tab)
 (Guitars stop)
Ghost  of a steam train
 echoes down my track
 its 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 id sooner put some joy back in,
This  town called malice(intro tab)
 (intro tab)
