Forgotten Town Lyrics

Forgotten Town
THE CHRISTIANS
Auf ISLAND (Ariola)108 880
Musik und Text: H. Priestman

No life we're living when there's no time for giving,
No sign of loving in this age of push and shoving
Another boy with a broken heart,
Can't you see the pressure tearing me apart?
Oh, there's so much for me to overcome, should I stay and fight?

Well, where else is there I can run?

How can I get out? There's no way I can get out!
How can I get out? There's no way I can get out!
How can I get out? There's no way ! can get out!
How can I get out? There's no way I can get out!

No life we're living when there's no time for giving,
No reassuring can end what I'm enduring.
I'm looking hard for the slightest sign,
Hear your words echoing around my mind.
I'm starting to believe what the papers say,
Yet one more blow and I'm reeling but can't nun away.

How can I get out? There's no way I can get out
How can I get out? There's no way I can get out

And if you'd open your eyes you'd know there's so much you could do.
Oh, if you'd open your eyes you'd make a thousand wishes come true.
Well, this must be one of the troubles of a living in forgotten town.
Don't get me wrong, hear the hollow words a ringing now the chips are down.

No life we're living when there's no time for giving,
No reassuring can end what I'm enduring.

How can I get out? There's no way I can get out . . .

And if you'd open your eyes you'd know there's so much you could do ....
Well, this must be one of the troubles of a living in forgotten town.
Don't get me wrong, hear the hollow words a ringing now the chips are down.
This must be one of the troubles of a living in forgotten town!
