You spend your time in smokey rooms
Where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
"it never happens for people like us you know"
Well nothing ever happened on it`s own
And well the toilets smell of desperation
The streets all echo of aggregation
And you wonder
Why you cant get no sleep
When you`ve got nothing to do,
And you`ve had nothing to eat
Your life`s slipping
And sliding right out of view
And there`s absolutely nothing
That you can do, well

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

Dirty dishes from a tv meal
That went cold from the wind
Throuh a smashed up window
You cant go out if anybody calls ya
Cos you cant have a bath
When there`s no hot water
And your friends are out
On the town again
And you ask yourself if it will ever end
And it`s all too much for your head to take
Just a matter of time before you break, well

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

Now...
Now...

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now

We`ll live and die,
We`ll live and die in these towns
Don`t let it drag you down
Don`t let it drag you down now
