F#m Em
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life cos it's the one we'll never know
F#m Em
And quit running for that runaway bus cos those rosey days are few
G F#m
And stop apologising for the things you never done
A riff
Time is short and life is cruel
D riff
But it's up to us to change this town called malice.
F#m Em
Rows and rows of disused milk-floats stand dying in the dairy yard
F#m Em
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
G F#m
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
A riff
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
D riff
In a town called malice, yeah
F#m Em
Ba ba ba ba bada ba, ba baba bada ba (x2)
G F#m
Struggle after struggle, year after year
A riff
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
D riff
I'm almost stone cold dead in a town called malice
(Bridge)
F#m (once) F#m-Fm-Em (once) Em-Fm
A whole streets belief in Sunday's roast beef
F#m (once) F#m-Fm-Em (once)
Gets dashed against the Co-Op
A
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
D riff
It's a big decision in a town called malice
F#m Em
Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
F#m Em
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
G F#m
Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze

I could go on for hours and I probably will but,
D riff
I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called malice.

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for the runaway bus 'cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
'Cause 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, yeah

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, ooh yeah
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah
The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere
Just going round and round, oh

Lost laughter in the breeze

But I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called malice, yeah
