Town Cryer |
| Im the town crier |
| And everybody knows |
| Im a little down |
| With a lifetime to go Maybe you dont believe my heart is in the right place |
| Why dont you take a good look at my face |
| Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip |
| Theyre so teddy bear tender and tragically hip |
| Im never going to cry again |
| Im going to be as strong as them |
| They say theyd die for love |
| And then they live it out |
| Theyll give you something to cry about |
| And suddenly you really fall to pieces |
| Im the town crier |
| And everybody knows |
| Im a little down |
| With a lifetime to go Maybe you dont believe my heart is in the right place |
| Why dont you take a good look at my face |
| Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip |
| Theyre so teddy bear tender and tragically hip |
| Love and unhappiness go arm in arm |
| Long suffering friends of your fatal charm |
| Isnt it a pity that youre going to get hurt |
| Just a little boy lost in a big mans shirt |
