The same people hang around all the same places
With the same old expression on all the same faces
And that trainer still swings from the light
Down the road where the drunk people fight
In the town where they dream the same dreams every night.
And the same drinks they go down the throats of the same men
As they laugh about things they've been over again and again
The repetition plays tricks on your brain
When your daily routine stays the same
In the town where they dream the same dreams every night
And I need you around
To stop me going in circles
And I want you around
To brighten up this town
They don't change their clothes and they won't change their ways
'Coz there's something quite safe about wasting your days away
And there's no need to leave your settee
When you live your whole life through TV
In the town where they dream the same dreams happily
And I need you around
To stop me going in circles
And I want you around
To brighten up this...
I need you around
To stop me running in circles
And I want you around
To brighten up this town
It brings me down
Oh this town
It brings me down
