[00:14.17]Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
[00:16.41]'Cos it's the one we'll never know
[00:18.84]And quit running for that runaway bus
[00:21.09]'Cos those Rosey days are few
[00:23.23]And stop apologizing for the things
[00:26.56]You've never done
[00:28.29]'Cos time is short and life is cruel
[00:30.52]But it's up to us to change
[00:32.43]This town called Malice
[00:42.60]Rows and rows of disused milk floats
[00:44.60]Stand dying in the dairy yard
[00:47.01]And a hundred lonely housewives
[00:49.06]Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
[00:51.98]Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
[00:56.52]It's enough to make you stop believing
[00:58.79]When tears come fast and furious
[01:00.55]In a town called Malice
[01:20.55]Struggle after struggle year after year
[01:25.04]The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
[01:27.13]I'm almost stone cold dead
[01:28.94]In a town called Malice
[01:39.16]A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
[01:43.74]Gets dashed against the coop
[01:48.43]To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear
[01:50.86]It's a big decision in a town called Malice
[02:10.04]Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
[02:14.59]It's at the moment bound for nowhere
[02:16.73]Just going 'round and 'round
[02:19.12]Playground kids and creaking swings
[02:21.68]Lost laughter in the breeze
[02:23.52]I could go on for hours and I probably will
[02:25.71]But I'd sooner put some joy back
[02:27.30]In this town called Malice
[02:36.94]In this town called Malice
[02:46.26]In this town called Malice
