Lyrics Hurtsville - Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders

Hurtsville

I know that you don’t love me
But won’t you take me for the night
Press me to your chest, sate my appetite
I left my home this morning at the bottom of a well
In Hurtsville
She said «Come with me boy, please don’t be afraid
This town is dying and we’re leaving straight away»
She drove around the block, dropped me home
Rang the bell
In Hurtstville -- IT HURTS
Now all of my past lovers have become the best of friends
They hold a weekly meeting and they’re plotting their revenge
The soil is so soft I dug my grave just standing still
In Hurtsville
They say if you’re born you’ll die here, I wonder if it’s true
The last time I check population was just me and you
I flip the burgers while you work the till
In Hurtsville -- IT HURTS
Babies' crying, mamma’s gone
I’d be lying if I said she’s coming home
Planting seeds among the weeds I’ll never kill
In Hurtsville
We saw the wings off birds, we pull the sting from bees
We cut the heads of women
Who keep the men down on their knees
I couldn’t see what was happening
I’m just a soldier in the drill
In Hurtsville
They say if you’re born you’ll die here, I wonder if it’s true
The last time I check population was just me and you
I flip the burgers while you work the till
Oh in Hurtsville -- IT HURTS
IT HURTS
The has-beens have been counted, the clock has ticked
The trap was set, the fuse was lit
I came for an adventure but I only found cheap thrills
In Hurtsville -- IT HURTS
Oh IT HURTS
Oh IT HURTS
