The Everyday Story Of Smalltown |
| Smalltown, snoring under blankets |
| Woken by the clank |
| It’s just the milkman’s dawn round |
| Smalltown, hiding undercovers |
| The lodgers and the lovers |
| Are asleep 'round Smalltown |
| Shiny gray black snake of bikes |
| He slithers |
| Bearing up the men and boys |
| To work |
| We’re standing in poplar lines |
| Making alarm clocks that’ll wake our wives up |
| Don’t ask us, we haven’t the time |
| We’re racing the hooter that’ll signal life’s up |
| Smalltown, crouching in the valley |
| Woken by the sally army |
| Sunday march round |
| Smalltown, coughing in the toilet |
| Now who on earth would spoil it |
| Would they pull down Smalltown? |
| If it’s all the same to you |
| Mrs. Progress |
| Think I’ll drink my Oxo up |
| And get away |
| It’s not that you’re repulsive to see |
| In your brand new catalog nylon nightie |
| You’re too fast for little old me |
| Next you’ll be telling me it’s 1990 |
| I have lived here for a thousand years or maybe more |
| And I’ve sheltered all the children who have fought the wars |
| And as payment they make love in me |
| Squeaky old beds, in bicycle sheds |
| Inside of their heads, as singles and weds |
| As Tories and Reds |
| And that’s how I’m fed |
| And that’s how I’m fed |
| Smalltown, snoring under blankets |
| Woken by the clank |
| It’s just the milkman’s dawn round |
| Smalltown, hiding undercovers |
| The lodgers and the lovers |
| Are asleep 'round Smalltown |
| Smalltown, crouching in the valley |
| Woken by the sally army |
| Sunday march round |
| Smalltown, coughing in the toilet |
| Now who on earth would spoil it |
| Till you pull down Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
| Smalltown |
