[Verse] F#m Em Better stop dreaming of the quiet life cos it's the one we'll never know F#m Em And quit running for that runaway bus cos those rosey days are few G F#m And stop apologising for the things you never done A riff Time is short and life is cruel D riff But it's up to us to change this town called malice. F#m Em Rows and rows of disused milk-floats stand dying in the dairy yard F#m Em And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts G F#m Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry A riff It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious D riff In a town called malice, yeah F#m Em Ba ba ba ba bada ba, ba baba bada ba (x2) G F#m Struggle after struggle, year after year A riff The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice D riff I'm almost stone cold dead in a town called malice [Bridge] C#m Bm A whole streets belief in Sunday's roast beef C#m Bm Gets dashed against the Co-Op A To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear D riff It's a big decision in a town called malice F#m Em Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track F#m Em It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round G F#m Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze A riff I could go on for hours and I probably will but, D riff I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called malice. [Outro] [D riff] Town called malice Oooh yeah, town called malice etc.
