Songtext von Paperback Town

Imagine the space as it used to bethere were fields of cornthere were big oak treesbut a woman in a suit bulldozed it clearbuilt a concrete world full of crocodile tears And we don't understandthat we all have a part in a government planit's a hard shotto be the people in the place that the world forgotin a paperback town But i know i know i know we can be freethough no guardian angel up abovehas kept an eye on meand at night i listen to the sirens moanfor a broken heart from a broken homeso many people are so alonein a paperback town And one day soon i'm gonna write it all downi live my life in a paperback town Oooh--in a paperback townoooh--in a paperback town I'm gonna take my troublesgonna pack my bagsgonna fly my kite for a different flagi'll sing my songfrom the top of the hillwhen the night is coldand the wind is chill 'cos i don't understandwhy i should be part of another man's planit's a hard shotfor the people in the placethat the world forgotin a paperback town Live and die herein a paperback townwonder why herein a paperback town But i know i know i know we can be free | Though no guardian angel up abovehas kept an eye on meand at night i listen to the rain fall downand i shake with the fear that we all will drownbut my words don't even make a soundin a paperback town And one day soon i'm gonna write it all downi live my life in a paperback town
