[00:16.72]Well grey clouds wrapped round
[00:18.70]the town like elastic
[00:21.08]Cars stood like toys
[00:22.62]made of Taiwanese plastic
[00:24.87]The boy laughed at the spastic
[00:27.21]dancing round in the rain
[00:32.99]While laundrettes cleaned clothes
[00:35.12]high heals rubbed toes
[00:37.36]Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
[00:41.50]Dressed in their suits and their boots
[00:44.17]well they all look the same
[00:49.33]I took myself down to the cafe
[00:52.25]to find all the boys lost in books
[00:55.41]And crackling vinyl
[00:57.65]And carved out a poem
[00:59.80]above the urinal that read
[01:05.35]Don't you cry for the lost
[01:08.00]Smile for the living
[01:10.09]Get what you need
[01:11.37]and give what you're given
[01:14.04]Life's for the living so live it
[01:17.05]Or you're better of dead
[01:34.28]While the evening pulled the moon
[01:36.72]out of it's packet
[01:38.64]Stars shone like buttons
[01:40.55]on an old man's jacket
[01:42.80]We needed a nail but wetacked it
[01:45.51]'til it fell off the wall
[01:50.67]While pigeon's pecked trains
[01:53.00]sparks flew like planes
[01:54.98]The rain showed the rainbows
[01:56.88]in the oil stains
[01:58.89]And we all had new iPhones
[02:01.14]but no one had no one to call
[02:07.02]And I stumbled down to the stomach
[02:09.88]of the town
[02:11.17]Where the widow takes memories
[02:13.11]to slowly drown
[02:15.22]With a hand to the sky
[02:17.34]and a mist in her eye she said
[02:23.06]Don't you cry for the lost
[02:25.75]Smile for the living
[02:27.82]Get what you need
[02:29.15]and give what you're given
[02:31.93]Life's for the living so live it
[02:34.68]Or you're better of dead
[03:08.16]Well I'm sick of this town
[03:10.42]this blind man's forage
[03:12.62]They take your dreams down
[03:14.57]and stick them in storage
[03:16.63]You can have them back son
[03:18.58]when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
[03:24.72]Oh hell with this place
[03:26.88]I'll go it my own way
[03:28.82]I'll stick out my thumb
[03:30.78]and I'll trudge down the highway
[03:33.23]Someday someone must be going my way home
[03:40.84]Till then I'll make my bed
[03:42.87]from a disused car
[03:45.23]With a matress of leaves
[03:46.89]and a blanket of stars
[03:49.21]And I'll stitch the words into my heart
[03:52.38]with a needle and thread
[03:57.23]Don't you cry for the lost
[03:59.83]Smile for the living
[04:01.92]Get what you need and give
[04:04.14]what you're given
[04:05.64]You know life's for the living
[04:07.59]so live it
[04:08.78]Or you're better of dead
[04:13.61]Don't you cry for the lost
[04:16.72]Smile for the living
[04:19.07]Get what you need and give
[04:21.47]what you're given
[04:23.84]Life's for the living so live it
[04:28.80]Or you're better of dead
